Member Lionclaw Posted September 29, 2012 Member Share Posted September 29, 2012 What!?! Not The Avengers????? I was thinking the same thing. And I found Dredd quite dull. It may have been made first but The Raid did the concept way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 90s Bruce Willis/ freaking great stuff man!!! YES!!! It's an instant classic already! No joke either, it's already my favorite movie of the year! Definitely will be seeing it again soon. An original story with well developed characters and carefully planned out plot. Nothing is wasted on screen. Everything has a purpose and there are no cliched moments that make you roll your eyes. This is what happens when a film is made outside the studio system. Characters that are real and a story that doesn't waste time with unimportant sub-plots that hinder the experience! LOVE, LOVE THIS FILM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted October 1, 2012 Member Share Posted October 1, 2012 "Looper" is easily in my top three of the year so far. A top three that currently consists of "Magic Mike," "The Avengers" and "Looper." Though not necessarily in that order. Everyone seems to be backing "Dredd" and I'm one of the few that found it to be painfully generic and pretty bad, all in all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Amazing Psycho Per Posted October 1, 2012 Member Share Posted October 1, 2012 Seriously this one puzzles me:ooh:... Not the movie but the reaction it got. I didn't know alot about the movie except for the fact the it involved time travel and that it received raving reviews everywhere. Even read somewhere that it was to time travel movie what Indiana Jones was to adventure movies. So with that in mind, I had hope to blown away. Man I just don't get it. I tried hard to like it and get passed the supid premise. After the movie me and my girlfriend discussed for a while to see if maybe we missed something subtle that raised the movie to another level, but couldn't found anything. Everything is as straightfoward, dumb and previsible as it looks . Some characters make no sense given their exposure time such as the failure who works for Jeff Daniels and keeps fucking up... I won't go into great lenght on what I didn't like so I don't spoil the movie for others but I just don't get it. Seriously I feel like I'm the Twilight Zone or something. The last time I was this baffled with the unanimous love a movie receives was with Let the right one in... I really don't see how it's any better then any average sci fi movie... That this movie get so much love really shows you how dry genre is cinema is today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That this movie get so much love really shows you how dry genre is cinema is today. Well that is one way of putting it, then again it is refreshing to see a movie like this in cinema whereas all year long or even before that we've been getting nothing but formulaic star vehicles/remakes/ and sequels... I like how this movie combines a lot of other movies and even has a running joke about itself and the rules applied to a so called Time travel movie... What I got out of this movie is enjoyment, if it entertains me I'm fine.. I'm not one of those people who has to find some kind of loop hole/conspiracy or explanation to the story to satisfy me... At least the movie cured your curiosity as to what all the rave reviews were all about... I like that and I like a different view on a movie I admire...

I watch kung fu movies, so I don't think everything has to have deeper meaning or conspiracy:ooh:... Heck, one the movie I enjoyed the most this year was The Avengers. I don't know, with all the raving reviews from so much different type of critics, I expected something smarter. Something that would intelligently and surprisingly play with the concept of time travel. Something that would take a second viewing to see and understand everything. Something that you discuss with people and have different interpretation on what hapenned, or the ending. I think what I expected was something along the lines of Primer with a blockbuster coating. It is not what I got. Maybe my expectations were wrong, but when something get so much buzz... It is still as you say different then most Hollywood blockbusters and I salute that fact, I just don't think it's enough to make it good, at least for me.
