Miricale At St. Anna Getting Rotten Tomatoes - Blu-ray Forum

Roland1919 · 09-12-2008, 06:28 PM

I've seen all the TV ads hyping this movie but haven't heard much else where. Think I'm boycotting SPIKE for his cheap shot at CLINT, who unlike SPIKE, is a class act.

As one critic wrote:

The tone here is inconsistent to say the least, and screenwriter James McBride, who also wrote the film's source novel, doesn't take any one character's point of view throughout, leaving the narrative decidedly unfocused.

Another critic (this one positive)

It's always engaging, but the constant tonal shifts sometimes disjoint what should have been a seamless narrative. (Don't know if this is really positive).

The previews just look WAY too bland

i will be boycotting this idiot as well, after his comments about clint i have no respect for him at all and this past week at the toronto film fest he started bashing john wayne, i dont have a link but watched some of it on tv, he is a complete boob.

Just by watching the trailer, it looked to be the best movie that Spike had put out in a long time. But if the reviews are bad, I'll probably pass.

Plus, Clint Ownes Spike.

I'll pass on this one. Clint is by far a better director and since their little spat, I'm voting with my dollars.

Generally not a fan of Spike Lee's films at all. Plus, he's just a big-mouth.

I thought the preview I saw was interesting but I doubt I will ever see it.

Usually a fan of WWII movies, but Spike just gets in my nerves. Clint rules!

LOL, no that comment is definitely not positive.

C'mon, Inside Man? That's a fantastic heist flick!

Let's not forget: Spike doesn't just make movies, he makes "joints." How f'ing stupid! Will wait five years until they show it on TNT.
