Slateman Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 so what's exciting to you? Bad Boyz 3? There is no Bad Boys 3 . . . It just seemed like, "Hey! Let's run around with the black pregnant girl!!! Run over here! No, wait, they're not our friends!! Run over there! No they want to use the kid for their own goals too!! Run away, run away!!! Watch Michael Cain listen to god-awful metal and get high. The End." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drums and skins Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I saw this last night. And I have to agree with the people who think it was boring. I mean seriously. Did you watch the film? It was slow paced and the scenes didn't really gel together all that well. Character development wasn't that great. I don't know... The trailer I saw many months ago to me suggested that the movie was a lot more...well...interesting. There were some decent art moments, but other than that, the movie was bland.

honeydont Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 My favorite scene is when they run right through a hamas funeral/burial process a small moment but a very impressive one. The whole film is a classic -already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FedExFielder Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 The cinematography was groin grabbingly amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelarkascend1ng Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 the way they drop Krzysztof Penderecki in the single shot segment is absolutely stunning. i won't say anymore than that so i don't ruin it for people who haven't seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I think you can pretty much see that the film divides the audience along lines of intelligence. So you guys who didn't like it must be pretty excited about the upcoming "Legally Blonde: Roots" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rincewind Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Seriously - cinematography aside, I don't see how this was an overly intelligent film. Seemed pretty basic to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Crist, it wasn't war and peace ya idjit putzes (I mean rince). Its of the basic sociological/sci-fi genre but with better acting, casting, screenplay and production values compared to the norm. A cousin to V for Vendetta and not as goood, but done on a much smaller budget and scale, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Children of men is far superior to V, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 A fair way to go, m. I'm glad they made both. One to me was more obviosuly the comic-book origin, but I still liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drums and skins Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Seriously - cinematography aside, I don't see how this was an overly intelligent film. Seemed pretty basic to me. Exactly. I know I said it was slow before, but now that I think about it, the movie plotwise moved so fast, it barely allowed much time for character development. Why should I care about the main character's ex-girlfriend? We barely new anything about her. Pretty lame. Hell, we barely knew much about the main actor. We just knew what he was doing, and thats about it. The screenplay just wasn't written well... But, as I mentioned before, it was shot beautifully in parts. It just seemed this movie had too much cut out of it. It could have been about 2 hours and 10 or 20 minutes easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can agree with that - but some people here were making it out to be War and Peace - I'm just saying it isn't. I thought the screenplay was okay - but I may be jaded as I just read 'The Game Player of Titan', so some of the plotlines were very similar.

Muzzah Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Been wanting to see this movie. Heard its kinda sad though. I hate sad movies, i.e. About Schmidt. I thought that movie was supposed to be hilarious and brilliant but saw it and only got depressed by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 knowledge316--Gotta agree with you........didn't think the movie was as great as many here believed it to be. What do you know? You can't even make threads. I actually thought a lot of it was boring....but thats just me. Actually, a lot of people at the theater felt the same way.Well, which is it? Just you or "a lot of people"? And how would you know anyway, Chezwick. Did you take an exit poll or just read their minds with your vast mental powers? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: j/k---I'm just messin' with ya dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
