Why all the researching when this is fiction!? Is this like needing to watch the Star Wars episodes in the correct order to follow a work of fiction?
I guess I understand since I get really engrossed in my reading too.
Since y'all think it sucked, it's probably an awesome movie.
I'm just kidding (sort of) but I think a lot of people here don't just go to the movies for entertainment value. They get caught up in a lot of analyzing, comparing, etc.
In the words of Bruce Bowen, "It is what it is."
LOL...true, very true. I always pick the movies at Blockbuster that "failed" at the box office and really enjoy them.
I expect more out of Movies than the same old thing. That doesn't mean I don't go for entertainment value, that jsut means I don't find the same old movies entertaining.
That being said, the DVC just wasn't very entertaining. The bad french accents mixed in with the weak twists and turns just made for a weak movie.
At least it's not Super Hero Part III etc...
Hollyweed is just cranking out some horrible movies recently.. I am tired of Superman and Spiderman.
And Stallone is doing like Rocky VI lol...
Which is sad because some of those people were really french! hahahahahaThe bad french accents mixed in with the weak twists and turns just made for a weak movie.
Besides, I knew it was fiction...there was no mention of Manny and after all, Manny is God!
RESPECT HIS AUTHORITAH, ES! MUHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Heck, I still watch Ace Ventura: Pet Detective reruns on TBS.
There was really no way for them to do the book well in a movie though. You can't take a written sequence on how they figured out the codes and translate it into a 30 second spot on the film. It just doesn't move over. You're left with some cheesy graphics and thinking that Tom Hanks is some kind of super genius.
I would like to see Tom and Richie Cunningham do the Alamo.
You pretty much think every move is the same old thing. That's your writeup for about every movie, except for those stupid comedies you are so fond of.
But you thought A Day Without A Mexican was an incredible movie ... and I thought it was the worst movie I've ever seen. So I guess it's just a matter of taste.
I concur.
I recall screeching a resounding "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" when I heard they were doing a movie. I remember all the lame ass ones that used to be half decent Stephen King books turned to rot by HollyWeird. King had to rip The Stand away from everyone and do his own mini-series and then re-did The Shining. That's pretty bad when the author needs to re-do one.
I don't know, you guys. I'm just hoping to see ONE movie in a theater this summer. Truth be told, I watch Ace Ventura and The Replacements when they come on just about every time. No way am I gonna go see Spiderman or XMen or King Kong. Bleck. There really isn't anything worth a crap out there. Anyone bother with Poseideon?
I watch purely for the entertainment value if I want to do the movie critic thing I can do that too since it's all a matter of opinion.
I liked King Kong and will watch MI3 when it comes out on DVD. I haven't gone to the movies since Passion of the Christ.
Most of the movies I don't know where you got that from. The last movie I reccomended to the forum wasn't a comedy by any means (V for Vendetta)You pretty much think every move is the same old thing. That's your writeup for about every movie, except for those stupid comedies you are so fond of.
I do think that most movies that come out now adays that are your typical movies have been done before. A ton of them are flat out remakes. I like origionality. If I want to see the Bad News Bears etc etc, I'll pop in a DVD.
I never even watched the entire movie. I turned it off halfway through. Blaze is the one who told you that movie was classic, not me.But you thought A Day Without A Mexican was an incredible movie ... and I thought it was the worst movie I've ever seen. So I guess it's just a matter of taste.
This is like the 4839043840 time you've confused us with that!
I know. That's why said it again. So you would react.
ing offseason.
NO . Off Season blows.
, I may watch my DVD of The Replacements tonight. I love it when they shoot up Martel's car and Falco is wearing his wild yam lotion. LOL
, maybe I'll keep re-reading Angels&Demons. Then, of course, there IS the possibility of finding a dart tourney on cable.
Why anyone would watch this movie instead of reading a newspaper or blogging is beyond me.
If this movie didn't have the Tom Hanks factor I bet it would score 20% on the rottentomatoes.com freshness score.
Dude, I just mowed my lawn, which blows more than any movie possibly could.
Since y'all think it sucked, it's probably an awesome movie.
I give it a solid "meh".
I haven't read the book because I was waiting to see the movie first. But after seeing the movie, I didn't really find the story interesting enough to bother with the book. I may have spoiled it for myself by watching too many specials on the Dan Brown Channel (er, The History Channel) so I already knew a lot of the "eureka" moments. But storywise, too many twists... I half expected Tom Hanks to find out he was really Sophia's brother at the end and that he had a child he didn't know about, and that child was the Second Coming.
The movie sucked!! That French actress can't act worth . Plus the story was a stretch from start to finish... granted I think the bible is an even bigger stretch, but nevertheless, I didn't like the movie.
I listened to the audio book before watching the movie and the clock watchers were pretty much right. I found myself checking to see what the movie had/did not have rather than watching the movie in itself. It was on the bad side of good, but probably should have been left to book form.
It's pretty hard to knock the movie though, because for such a time condensed portrayal, it stuck to the plot line pretty closely. The movie was supposed to be a remake of the book, and it was that. It's just that a lot of the stuff from the book was better reading than it was watching.
On my ranking scale the movie gets a C+ for being average/good. It really didn't help that I knew what was supposed to happen from beginning to end, so it could have possibly been a B- for those not privileged to the book.
I don't know why people complain about the characters because they acted pretty much the same as the characters in the book.
I also saw Poseidon a few weeks ago. That movie recieved a solid B.
PS I am like Kori in that I watch a movie just to watch it. I don't get caught up in the acting and all the artistic whatever else.
[SPOILER]
I ended up seeing it (not by choice...)
It was mediocre. The suspense was there, but for the astute movie-watcher with no knowledge of the book, it was obvious that the chick was the last survivor of jesus' family, and also very obvious that Magneto was the Teacher.
Meh.
