NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN - official discussion thread - Blu-ray Forum

Just got done watching it. Didn't see why this movie was hyped so much. I was waiting until the end for something that would redem this movie but, nothing did. The Cohen bros sucked at this one.

Caligula · 03-13-2008, 04:58 AM

this was allright for me too! wasnt impressive but accept this movie in my collection though

vick vega · 03-13-2008, 04:59 AM

How did this win best picture? There must have been crap movies out this year for No Country to win. I find it funny that someone argued with me that the Cohen bros. were better at films than Tarantino. What a joke. I'd even say that Tarantino's part of Grindhouse was better than this film, and Death Proof was an average at best movie.

twbb should of won best picture

BStecke · 03-13-2008, 05:04 AM

I thought it was good. I actually went through and rewatched a bunch of scenes after I got done with it . . . I enjoyed it.

vick vega · 03-13-2008, 05:08 AM

What exactly did you like about it?

I thought the characters were interesting, especially Tommy Lee Jones and how he reacts to the situation unfolding around him.

danay82 · 03-13-2008, 05:11 AM

To me I liked the movie, but I know some of my friends didn't for there wasn't that closure (found in most typical movies) on the characters since their use to that kind of thing.

mr peepers · 03-13-2008, 05:12 AM

i really enjoyed this movie.

yes, it was a very slow moving movie.
no, it was not your typical heart wrenching best picture award winning movie.

but hell, i thought the visuals in the movie were phenomenal. and i was extremely pleased to see a movie that wasnt this non-stop shoot em up action flick with unbelievable action sequences.

i was overly pleased with this flick

Sith · 03-13-2008, 05:13 AM

It was a good movie, but i liked Twbb, superbad and 300 more...

zombieking · 03-13-2008, 05:15 AM

I thought the performances were strong and overall the movie was good, but I can't understand why it won best film. I mentioned this in another thread and some jerkoff flamed me for having bad taste in films. I'm still adding NCFOM to my collection, but There Will Be Blood is the one I want to see.

TWBB could be in my top 10 movies ever...

Everything.

BStecke · 03-13-2008, 05:20 AM

I haven't seen TWBB . . . want to, hopefully we'll see it on Blu-ray soon.

RCO · 03-13-2008, 05:27 AM

Just watched it----Great movie---I enjoyed it but not really doing backflips over the ending.

diamondfoxxx · 03-13-2008, 06:04 AM

Yeah, there's this new trend for unresolved endings--like Eastern Promises, which also left the viewer hanging.

Gremal · 03-13-2008, 06:15 AM

This isn't a "new trend". It's a Cormac McCarthy (one of the greatest writers of our time) novel adapted for the screen.

I am more pleased with the academy for awarding the Coen Bros best director for this film than I was for awarding Scorcese last year.

It's an entertaining movie, but not the best picture of the year.
