This movie kills! Better than 4 of the Star Wars films. This is an awesome re-imagining of a classic franchise. It is on par with the Dark Knight. Sweet movie. See it See it three times.
Okay I saw it and...it was ok. It wasn't nearly as good as Iron Man or the Dark Knight but it was'nt Tank Girl. The action scenes seemed ridiculous. The movie's saving grace was when Gambit and Wolvie were in the alley. That 5 seconds pure brilliance.
Sweet Jumpin Jehosephat?!? Why do these movies keep making money? Its like Kevin Costner getting a starring role or an angry young hip hop star hitting his girlfriend....Totally shocking and I don't understand why...
SPOILERS AHEAD :I really didn't want to give it this low of a score. BUT, this movie had an extraneous amount of shots that were not vital to the movie. I think the movie is too long without a substantial payoff. The sex scene added nothing, and what besides shock value did the immense amount of male nudity contribute. Yes we get that Dr Manhatten is evolved beyond the concepts of that of an ordinary human, BUT if that is true, why not just reform himself Ken-Doll style? I'm by no means a prude, but there is a limit. Just like pot and fart jokes, there is a line. The story was good enough without having to enhance it with shock value. And another thing....WHY was Ozymandias this side of Pricilla Queen of the desert?
There is a fine line between brilliance and over the top. This movie doesn't walk it it tap dances all over it throwing itself across it many a time. I don't like Sandra Bernhard, but dang it if she wasn't perfect for the role in this movie. This was like a caper film written by the writers of Airplane!
Cough Cough. I love professional wrestling. I know about professional wrestling. What I didn't like about this film was the fact that it is compared to Rocky. Rocky fought for hope. Randy fights because he has destroyed everything in his life that could reciprocate good. He fights one last time not to prove anything, but because he has nothing else to do. It is depressing for depressing sake filled with cliches than a box of Raisin Bran has raisins. And to make matters worse, the cliches are obvious and undeveloped. I expected a depressing film, not a waste of space film. And Mickey Rourke's comeback role? Not here friend, that was in Sin City when he brought Marv to living breathing 3 dimensions.
I really liked this movie. Big surprise, I know. But the thing is, it was a fair caper movie using superpowers as a backdrop with a twist ending. This movie could have been done without superpowers, just not as fun.
This was a cool movie. I really felt for Eric Banna's Hector. Trapped between a kid brother he has to stick up for and a father that doesn't believe in him, he has to fight the world's greatest warrior. Yeah thats a crud job.
I have a crush on Jennifer Garner, and I think she had the right innocent playability, as Tom Hanks did in BIG, for this role. Plus she does the Thriller dance.
Star Wars: The Empire STrikes Back Episode 2....jerks. I'm sure the Warsies have said all that can be said about the film. I'll tell you my favorite scene. Where Leia kisses Han before he is frozen in carbonite. It seemed like the last great screen kiss, a harken back to the golden days of cinema.
