My buddy, who loved the movie, said that he really liked the ending but that "it wasn't Hollywood" but I bitch-slapped him and told him to shut up before he could elaborate on what that meant.
I really want to see it.

Edit: he also said that it's a film-lovers type of movie, so it's not for everyone.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

I liked Hot Rod, it wasn't bad but it def. looked like a cheap budget film. I also want to see No Country for Old Men, I don't give a shit what reviews people give it because everyone has their own opinion, if it looks interesting then chances are I will see it, and i'm not a harsh critic at all, out of every movie i've seen there were only 5-10 ones that I def. wouldn't watch again lol. I saw Hitman last week, I really liked it, so much in fact that i'd pay to see it again, even though it got horrible reviews. I am Legend also looks like a good movie, i'm probably gonna see that soon as well.

I guess its the kind of movie you either like it or hate it,after I left my review I was reading the others,it was about 50-50 either way,they either liked it or completely hated it
no country looks pretty damn good to me from the trailer,but I'll probably wait for the dvd
I was dissapointed in superbad,I didnt think it was as good as 40 yr old or knocked up
I might pay to go see national treasure 2

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

i didn't really like knocked up.... and i thought superbad couldn't hold a candle to hot rod...

I think it was about expectations.. i had none with hot rod. when the dude was beating on the car motor with a hammer like he was working on it to impress the chick I almost pissed myself...

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

I wasn't expecting much of hotrod to begin with, so it was a nice little suprise. Superbad was good, but I don't think it lived up to it's huge expectations, i thought it was kinda unrealistic too, I've never met a single cop in my lifetime that were as cool as those two were lolol, although it would be pretty cool if i did find one. National Treasure 2 looks pretty good but i'm probably not gonna go see it, i'll just wait 6 months until it's on HBO lol.

No Country is the best film of the year.

I also want to see "There Will Be Blood", PT Anderson's new one with Daniel Day Lewis.

it was eh... It had some cool moments and then there were some others that were just plain stupid. Also the character models for the infected were pretty weak for a movie of this scale. The trailers before the movie on the other hand were awesome with Prince Caspian, 10,000 BC, and most importantly The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger looks to have completely nailed the role of Joker and even got the laugh spot on as well.

Totally nailed your description for I am legend. Weak plot. Weak effects. Mediocre movie.
