Limitless

[MannyIsGod]

Could not get through it. One thing I almost always hate is narration during a movie. Whats the point of watching a movie if the story is explained to you like it was an audiobook? The zoom camera shots were annoying as shit too.

Pretty disappointed.

[DPG21920]

It was ok. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. I like his comedic timing and he's entertaining enough to me to carry a movie, but it wasn't great. My expectations weren't that great to begin with however.

[Drachen]

I loved that movie. I expected it to be good and it still exceeded expectations.

[BRHornet45]

son I agree. I gave it a shot simply because of De Niro, but the warning flags went up from the get go with Bradley Cooper starring in it.

I couldn't even get into the subject matter. The zoom shots and audiobook narration were so distracting. The narration really kills me. If you need a damn narrator to tell your story in a movie then you probably really suck as a director.

[redzero]

When that woman used a little girl as a weapon by swinging her into a badguy, I knew this movie was going to be a classic.

If used correctly (and sparingly) it can also add to the film. Shawshank.

[MannyIsGod]

I read Shawshank way before it came out on film so maybe thats why it didn't bother me there. However, I also don't think Shawshank is that great of a flim as most people do.

Apocalypse Now is another good one.

Naked Gun series as well:lol

[InRareForm]

It wasn't bad

I think that's why Ridley Scott went back and did a director's cut of Blade Runner. The Harrison Ford narration was removed.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Sucked balls.

[koriwhat]

limitless was one of the best of this yr, not even transformers or your shitty super 8 could hold a light to it.

on a side note, shawshank was damn good!

Well crap...

[leemajors]

I can't look at Bradley Cooper's face without wanting to slug him. It's very irrational.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Limitless was fucking horrible. I don't particularly hate narration, but I'll be damned if the dialogue wasn't complete and utter crap. I couldn't get through it either.

[Technique]

Good movie.

[Spursfan092120]

I thought it was pretty good. Cooper was pretty decent, I thought.

[SA210]

When you guys say you cant get through it are you saying that you literally turned it off or walked out the room/theater? It's a dumb question but I just can remember the last time i walked out of a movie theater no matter how bad. Now I can understand if you did not intend to see the movie in the first place.

Like the wife just happens to be watching something and I sit through it for five minutes but then lose interest. Thats understandable. But for example I just watched Kick-Ass in Blueray. My expectations were not high but I intended to watch it. The move Sucks-Ass! But I still sat through it.

[ohmwrecker]

I didn't see this movie (and I probably won't), but there are a ton of awesome, classic movies with narration:

A Clockwork Orange
Apocalypse Now
Taxi Driver
Goodfellas
Raising Arizona
Fight Club
Fear And Loathing
The Usual Suspects . . . Shawshank, of course.

I really like narrated movies when they are done well.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

It's no There Will Be Blood that's for sure.

:lmao

Some people have to have car chases and crashes and killings and gratuitous sex in order to enjoy a movie...

[MannyIsGod]

No, some people just appreciate the literary version of a work better than the film version because of the greater detail. People think that Shawshank was a good movie because the story was so good. And it is. That doesn't change the fact that film does not capture it nearly as well as Stephen King's novella.

Try again, dumbass.

No, it's actually quite normal.

As far as adaptations go, Stephen King gets his movies closer than most other writers...but when did anyone say that a movie is supposed to match the detail of a novel?

As a movie it stands on it's own-but a dumb fuck like you would rather see stupid fantasy crap that could never happen.

A moron like you could never understand the achingly beautiful writing and interpretation accomplished by the tandem of Stephen King & Frank Darabont.

[Richard Cranium]

It was a good movie and if I really wanted to take the time to break it down it would be limitless so I'll just say it was an enjoyable film and leave it at that. The acting was top notch.

[SA210]

I love Edward Zwick's work, many of his films narrated by different characters through their letters to eachother or by their journals. Glory, Legends of The Fall, The Last Samurai. All great films in my opinion. I love those movies very much.

WTF are you talking about? Its the same story, I just prefer the written version. I never once said I didn't like it. How the hell is it possible for you to be this stupid? Good lord man.

I never said a movie was supposed to match the novella. YOU keep interjecting shit no one has even brought up because you're an old bitter senile fuck who has to try to get over.

Read your own drivel you little know-it-all piece of shit...you blabbered on about more detail in the novella blah-blah...

Don't try to label me you fat-headed short legged down's syndrome looking piece of shit.

How the fuck will you learn anything in this life if every fuckin' post of yours is a failed attempt to impress everyone as someone who is a fuckin' expert at everything.

Grow the fuck up and if you really want keep taking jabs at me every fuckin time I post you are barking up the wrong fuckin' tree. Do yourself a favor-fuck with someone else.

Not teasing.

[Booharv]

Apocalypse Now is another good one.

Naked Gun series as well:lol

Out of the Past tbh (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/out_of_the_past/)

It had Hollywood's GOAT Robert Mitchum narrating it in his mega badass prime.

http://www.filmreference.com/images/sjff_01_img0373.jpg

Best movie of the 1940s tbh

[silverblk mystix]

Not teasing.

There's plenty of others in here that might be interested in your drama...I'm not one of them.

I'll have to check it out sometime. My favorite Mitchum film is Night of the Hunter...the movie's 60 years old but his character (Reverend Powell) is still one of the most frightening villains ever.

Don't be hurt. Just not interested. Good night.

Um, read the posts you old senile fuck. Who took a jab at who? I didn't say shit to you. You came in here and decided to talk shit. Don't get all upset with me because the prune juice and Metamucil haven't managed to unclog your constipated ass.

Must be a bitch when Alzheimers has set in so hard you don't even realize when YOU start shit.

[SourCandy]

:tu

Both of those are way to much. However i'd like to hear Liam Neeson narrate a movie.

Read the Death Penalty Jabs you started in on me with you little cocksucker. Then read the times posted and then see who is stupid for not realizing they started this shit.

LOL age smack...

I am in my mid-forties and in twice as good a shape as you'll ever be- hell however old you are -you are still a worthless little know-it-all.

Seriously, I know you get a little bold because this is a semi-anonymous board...but I can bet you my life that you would not be stupid enough to walk in on a group of people having a conversation and begin by telling others how stupid they are and how superior you pretend to be...LOL...you definitely would understand just how fuckin' offensive, rude & so full of shit you are.

You happen to do this to almost everyone here and in the political forum..as soon as someone is having a decent debate or discussion...here you come with your fuckin' know-it-all bullshit...and the first shot, the first words out of your mouth is.....

you guessed it....you are so stupid blah-blah....

Like I told you...do yourself a favor...fair warning.

[MannyIsGod]

You've been threatening me since you got here. Its cute. Its kinda like the way you threatened CF above.

I do this to hardly anyone on here, especially in the political forum. Contrary to popular belief, you are not everyone. I didn't take a jab at you at all in the death penalty forum. You made me laugh when you said statistics weren't facts. However, due to your self esteem issues you take everything like that as an afront. You're pretty damn fragile and it shows with how your posting style is on here.

Your characterization of me is very much off, but that has more to do with how you view yourself than anything else. I've had the gal to fuck with you over your time here and you've seen me fuck with a few other people and all of a sudden its EVERYBODY. You're not that important.

I've got no doubt that some people on here view me as an asshole. I'm pretty sure many people on here think of you as an asshole (see this thread for proof if you don't believe me). I do find it funny that you somehow above being an asshole on here. I guess that's the senility though.

PS

You are so stupid.

[koriwhat]

nah manny, you're a wannabe hard ass hiding behind a monitor... it is what it is.

I'm flexing at you from behind the monitor - are you scared?

I'm flexing at you from behind the monitor...

i bet you are doing just that tbh... it wouldn't surprise me at all. then again, you'd have to have some sort of muscle in order to flex, you're just waving fat around.

Koriwhat is an epic dumbass, and Manny has gotten the best of him 100% percent of the time in their ongoing feud, but this was actually quite a decent burn.
