Really looking forward to seeing this on blu. I'm a big fan of Silvering Linings Playbook and The Fighter.

SilentDawn · 12-20-2013, 03:08 PM

Seeing it tonight!

sancho · 12-20-2013, 04:34 PM

I want to see this. Maybe a rare trip to the movies over the Xmas vacation. Day 1 indeed.

Why is the pre-order so expensive? Almost $30 is bit too much for me at the moment.

slasherdisc · 12-20-2013, 05:12 PM

Saw it last night and enjoyed it very much. Can't really say it was much of a comedy however but thought the cast was great and Christian Bale should earn himself an Oscar Nom for his role. Loved the soundtrack!

Doctor.Who · 12-20-2013, 05:44 PM

Just preordered it.

no offense, but who told you its a comedy? it looks like a crime film.

Cause that's how they always are. The price will go down when it's closer to release.

Planning on seeing this either tomorrow or Monday.

It's nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress in Comedy for the Golden Globes. There is some humor in the movie but i wouldn't call it a Comedy.

Batman1980 · 12-20-2013, 09:26 PM

It's a dark comedy with crime/cops & robbers elements and some sexuality.

K1NG J0RDAN · 12-20-2013, 09:43 PM

Might see this and Catching Fire tomorrow as a double feature. Plenty of Jennifer Lawrence goodness for one day!

She's not in this much, I believe she was in 5-6 scenes and by the time she appeared I was actually starting to wonder if she was barely more than a glorified cameo.

That's a shame.

I kinda knew it going in, people had already given me the impression she's not one of the focal characters. She's still in it for about 20 minutes, I believe you'll enjoy her performance but as I said before I feel she's stronger as Katniss than she is in this movie.

She was in it a LOT more than someone doing a "glorified cameo"...and I don't think she would have won Best Supporting Actress, and is being touted for the same award for this year's Oscars, by the NY Film Critics if it was a cameo.

That's not terribly bad then. But I was hoping she would have a bigger role. Excited to see it nonetheless. Bale and Cooper!

That's a good point. She must be damn good in those 20 minutes of screen time!

It's a comedy in the same sense that GoodFellas was a comedy. Dark humor.

SilentDawn · 12-21-2013, 03:32 AM

Really enjoyed this one, the characters were fantastic. I felt that the story was put aside in place of those characters though, which was disappointing.

I'd give it 4.25/5 and it's definitely a day one pick-up!

JJJ225 · 12-21-2013, 04:10 AM

I think it's definitely a comedy.

The more I think about this movie, the less I like it. I will pass.
