Just blind bought Eagle Eye and Tropic Thunder - Blu-ray Forum

Clippins · 12-31-2008, 02:58 AM

Haven't watched them yet, but figured it was a decent deal $26.99 for Eagle Eye which then gave me $10 off on Tropic Thunder. I figure they'll be decent enough to justify the blind buy.

Tropic Thunder is pretty funny.

hoju3508 · 12-31-2008, 03:04 AM

I liked Robert Downey's performance in Tropic Thunder.

I dunno, I haven't seen it yet, but Eagle Eye seems like one of those movies you watch once and never see again. That's why I don't want to blind-buy it myself.

Tropic Thunder is a good buy for sure though.

Bull crap EE is awesome. I've watched it 4 times since I bought it on the 23rd. Dark knight and EE best movies of 2008!

Aerodude73 · 12-31-2008, 03:23 AM

Sounds like a good deal with the $10 off. Tropic Thunder is very good, funny, and Tom Cruise's studio head role is Classic! (hence his Golden Globe nomination. Though, ya' gotta wonder if it was for his End Credits "Dancing" bit?! THAT was too funny). Also, the extras have the main 3 guys doing commentary (Ben Stiller, Jack Black, & Robert Downey Jr., who I read does his commentary "In Character", so you know it must be very funny for that alone!).

Haven't seen Eagle Eye. Yet...

Tropic thunder was really good and I just watched EE last night and thought it was way better than what people were making it out to be..its really not that bad of a movie

ixlegitballinxl · 12-31-2008, 05:09 AM

almost BB EE, but decided to wait

Tropic thunder was decent

callas01 · 12-31-2008, 05:39 AM

Actually I didn't finish either one, and the wife bought EE cause she wanted it and she didn't finish it either, tropic thunder was a rental.... thank god.

because? i loved it, all of the characters were well played, well developed. john malkovich stole the show with his telephone conversation with brad pitt and frances mcdormand (that's her name right?) haha

ixlegitballinxl · 12-31-2008, 05:51 AM

i said horrible movie, not horrible acting lol

storyline was not entertaining...poor character development.. and just flat out not interesting

Acting was good, a little corny, but overall a good movie

jlaavenger · 12-31-2008, 09:53 AM
