Natural Born Killers: love or hate? - Blu-ray Forum

Grubert · 06-12-2008, 12:54 PM

Natural Born Killers is a very divisive movie.

For some, it is a visually brilliant indictment of the way murderers electrify the media and exhilarate the public.

For others, it is a one-note movie, and it condemns the media for glorifying violence, when the movie is doing exactly the same thing.

Personally, I love it. I am waiting for my copy to arrive from amazon

Who has the blu, how is it? There's probably a thread about it, trying search now...

Love it. One of my all time favorites. Will be waiting for the directors cut. It's the only way to watch the movie.

atomik kinder · 06-12-2008, 06:32 PM

One of my least favorite movies ever. Just plain bad. When I saw it people were walking out of the theater. I don't ever need to see it again.

GarettP · 06-12-2008, 06:35 PM

Thought it was good, bought the VHS and my parents watched about a 1/2 hr and proceeded to throw it in the garbage! Saved it and has been a while since I have watched it, can't wait to see it on Blu!

Quick question...is BD getting the extended version, as God intended?

Balian · 06-13-2008, 07:54 AM

The film looks dated.

Warner doesn't have the rights to the director's cut. It belongs to Lionsgate.

I was never so excited about seeing a movie when I saw the trailer for this one. we went to the theatre on opening day and left about 45 minutes into it. what a disappointment. The whole movie had a "trailer" feel about it like it wasn't a movie at all. Since that dreaded day I have asked myself 3 seperate time..."was it really that bad, how could I have NOT enjoyed this film" so i sat down all three times and attempted to watch it again, only to turn it off or fall asleep because of lack of interest. Anyway, I guess I fall into the "hate it" category altho I really want to like it, hahaha. I'm sure I will try to watch it again someday but like Blade Runner I will probably not succeed.

SeahawxBlu · 06-14-2008, 02:52 AM

Didn't really care for it and consider it Stone's worst film. It's funny how tastes change though. I had a friend who used to love this movie and recently I asked him if he was gonna buy it on BD. He looked at me as if I lost my mind and asked me why he would waste his money on it...

I bought the movie thinking it was going to be another movie, I found the movie upsetting, and the ending didn't make any sense to me... I found it enjoyable but still upsetting, I think the movie would have been better without certain scenes as I think they went overboard. If this movie had a message I can't help but think there has to be a better way to communicate it using the medium of film. I liked the switching between the different film types, though that too didn't make too much sense... the Acting in the film was very good. That said I don't 'hate' nor do I 'love this film.

CheapChildren · 06-14-2008, 10:24 PM

I really don't care for Stone but I pre-ordered this on the WB store online (because of the 30% off) but then I thought I had canceled it. Apparently not because they shipped it to me so I watched it and to my very surprise I really liked it a lot!

Copywriter · 06-14-2008, 11:41 PM

It is a typical rinse n repeat type of movie, but I enjoyed it just the same.

Love or hate is a bit strong. I found the movie enjoyable.

I can't seem to get Heathers out of my mind. Damn you Winona Ryder. Damn you.
