Surprisingly Good Movie


I went in not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised at how entertaining Fast turned out to be.

Same.

Best movie he ever made.

That would be the Other Guys

These are my thoughts. There are many others like them, but these ones are mine.

In a starring role. He died at the beginning of The Other Guys. Besides, one's a drama, the others a comedy. I liked how the enemies in this film respected each other as opposed to obnoxious villains blinded by hate. The bathroom scene for example. In typical Hollywood fare after "Please tell my son my son I'm sorry," The Rock would have said "*beep* you" and stabbed him again.

Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'? Aim for the bushes.

Haha, classic!

I love it. Solid acting and a simple, effective plot. The movie feels really small, in a good way. Makes it more personal I guess?

reply

No actually that would be The Rundown.

this movie blew me away!
one of the best action movies of 2010...

ethereal, transient, terrifying.
i am the sojourner of the ultimate void.

Too bad it didn't do well commercially.Now I don't think Rock is gonna do another all out action flick like this for a while.

it did alright.
almost made it 1:1 with theater revenue.

reply

Have to agree,only checked it out because of so much positive feedback.
Very well directed and acted ,well worth a look.

reply

I agree. The Rock is actually quite good in this, all around it is a very good movie.

reply

im a big Dwayne Johnson aka Rocky the people champ fan lol i loved this and it should be great to see him chasing down Vin Diesel in Fast Five

reply

same here, some people just don't get it, this is an action movie and a great action movie at that, what were you expecting? turn off your brain and enjoy as you did with such movies like die hard, i really enjoyed it for what it was, 8.5/10.

reply

Maybe Ive seen to many of these revenge movies, but this one was way to predictebal. The killer character was a waste of time, seems like its a must these days to have these comic book characters and titles in every action movie.

reply

Agreed. I saw the negative feedbacks and was like, "well I like the Rock and Billy Bob" and ended up really loving this movie.

Also, I wouldn't expect The Rock to write movies off because of the initial circumstances this movie fell under. A lot of movies easily start off like this and gain momentum later. Shawshank Redemption didn't do well either initially and gained so much word of mouth later it became huge. Look how much popularity rating this movie has gone up on IMDB. I think it will pick up as word of mouth gets around, at least I think it deserves to.

reply

Agreed. Wasn't expecting much with Dwayne Johnson in the main role but especially the directing of the movie didn't leave me unimpressed. Movie kept me interested throughout.
