Film:4.5

First viewing of this. It never was something that looked to interesting to me. I'm glad I took a chance on it because it is a very good film. I have no problem that it won BP at the Oscars. It has a strong story behind it and it was way different than what I thought it would be based on the trailer.

The acting was good I had no complaints. Danny Boyle did a fine job directing. Honestly this film did everything almost perfectly, hence all of the awards, which it rightfully deserves.

The only complaint I have with this film is replay value. I just don't see myself watching this too many times. But do not get me wrong, this is a great film and is most def deserving of a viewing.

I hate this movie sooooooo hard.

0/5 from me.

Can't agree either.

Kingdom of Heaven Extended 5/5
Gladiator 4.75/5
Braveheart 4.5/5
Last Samurai 4.25/5
Troy 3/5

Of those films, I've watched KOH D/C more than all the others combined. And I've seen the others a few times

Wow simply amazing, at first i thought it was gonna be a horror, scary film but it actually turned into a drama/horror. I thought that the story was amazing and original beyond originality lol.

A Young man faces the difficulties of being bullied in school and standing up for himself. Not only does he have this problem to deal with but he also has a broken family, living with his mother he's faced with many childhood problems by himself. But next door to him is a girl that he shows a special interest to.....


Like i said before i thought the movie was amazing and really worth watching. Keep in mind its more of a dark drama, but worth every penny. Im looking forward to LET ME IN.

Note: The English Voice Over's are Horrible please watch the movie in its regular Swedish language.

Highly Recommended.

4.5/5

Are you sure?

That thread makes me frightened for mankind.

Many people compare this film to other historical epics of the past 15 years, so I'll do so too: Braveheart is far better on every single level and I have no idea how someone can think Gladiator is better. The Last Samurai is a better film. Gladiator is far better than Troy.

After the bashing from Surf and Squid i had to check my reasoning for my initial score for this dumb ass movie. I'd have to say its fun, dont wanna admit it but after seeing it as a dark comedy i couldnt stop my self from laughing at these idiots. And i mean ALL OF THEM are IDIOTS! I think i could right an entire blog about the stupidity that happens in this movie.

My favorite part by far is when

[Show spoiler]the kidnapping part. WTF.

William H. Macy was born for this role he's a complete idiot. Most comedy movies are direct hit you in the face but after seeing Fargo i wanna see more dark comedies to see how it compares.

I also got rid of this movie but its not going anywhere now!
I feel stupid for not catching the type of movie from the get go but o well

Recommended

4/5

Idiots is right. Macey has 4 scams going at once, and he isnt qualified to deal with even one of them. Duh!!!!!!!!!

I agree. Its nonlinear storytelling was executed perfectly. Potent film.

I wouldn't really compare them but since you guys are (because of other people doing so ), I without a doubt think Gladiator is the best of those (I haven't seen Troy).

Gladiator > Braveheart > Last Samurai

I thought Braveheart was pretty good, just not as good as a lot of people I guess. I gave it a 4.5/5. Gladiator though, I loved it, and give it a 5/5.

Last Samurai was 5/5 the first time I saw it, but on repeated viewings it went to a 4/5.


I was surprised to see Last Samurai mentioned in there instead of Kingdom of Heaven btw.

We are on the same page here D. See TROY the directors cut ASAP.

Thanks Foggeroni.

I read a review that said Hitchcock would be proud.

Well the entire movie is going for a huge Hitchcock vibe, so if it pulls it off I would be happy
