What about the cemetery worker guy? Dr. Wynn? The neighbor who wouldn't open the door? All of the trick or treaters! The owner of the station wagon Michael stole! Also don't forget the train conductor who drove by the body near the phone booth! That dude was severely traumatized!!!
Definitely a good point! I think it has more to do with scaring the population by picking anyone than anything else, but I think your idea would have worked a good bit better!
I hate to be "that guy" but the original book for Battle Royale was considerably better. While there were some scenes straight out of the book in the movie which were excellent (girls in the tower for one), the added subplot regarding the creepy teacher (director of the film too!) and the main girl didn't work for me at all and just came off as weird.
I gotta agree with this. I think it has a great director and I like most of the cast involved. I also like Craig just fine as Bond and really hope that he goes out on a high note!
Don't ask! It must have something to do with final processing!
I agree that the older I get the more I love H3, but I would honestly prefer that they leave it alone and continue with MM... at least until Halloween Ends!
I totally agree, PMX! Today the press would sweep this under the rug as fast as possible.
Here's the thing: I definitely appreciate you posting the reviews and I read through 2 of them (the 3rd got a bit spoilery so I stopped) but I'm always going to make my own decisions and I often don't agree with critics. But, I've read enough horror film reviews to know that if they have any positives to give, the film shouldn't be that bad. Most horror films have bad reviews and if they are universally loved, why?
Bottom line is I will make my own decision but I see a lot to like in here. I get it that MM isn't Jason, but I have no problem with a super violent MM! Great kills? Sign me up! JC score! Exploration of Haddonfield and its population as characters? Cool! In the end, I'll have to feel it out for myself and I'll see it somehow.
PS: Score was pre-ordered long ago and I can't wait for it to arrive!
So I will admit a few things about this topic. First, I am 36 (about to be 37) and this came out the year I was born. With that, I do remember them smoking a lot in the film (though I think they dropped it by GB2, which I also love almost as much as the first and saw more as a kid) and I definitely thought smoking was cool because of that movie. I loved the Ghostbusters and was totally obsessed as a young kid. Somehow I never got into smoking (I've smoked but it never became a habit, thankfully) but I always remembered that it seemed cool because they did it.
Agreed. He didn't bail on anyone and he definitely didn't need to go to Dana's building for the finale of the film if he had bailed! Winston is definitely part of the team!
I have seen SHIT that will turn you WHITE!
Tough question really, but for now, I would say World's End by a hair. Every time I see it I like it more and the dialogue is great. Plus, like you said, some great moments but also some low ones.
Well put! Those writers were idiots. Leadership like hers can lead to mutiny!
I thought that was her! Yeah, in this, she is ridiculous, but at least in the Last Ship, if I remember correctly, they had a more believable back story for her than a SEAL Lt. Cmdr. and she played the Last Ship role fine and believable for the most part (if memory serves). This part made no sense.
See there's two grounds to every force!
I agree completely with this and say it a lot! She just looks creepy so often!
Agreed, I totally enjoyed it even if it wasn't that great of a movie. But, for me, often times fun is better than good, and this was definitely fun!
These days, Disney and anyone else think everything is offensive. I just ignore that stuff! Fun to rewatch this! Thoroughly enjoying it!
We would have gotten along as kids. I think I watched it daily for quite some time. It was taped off of TV so there were a few cartoons with it, but back in the mid 80s I wore that tape out! Found it on DVD 10+ years ago and am watching it now for the second time on DVD. Best part is I still remember a lot of the film considering I've seen it once in 25 years at most!
Agreed with the topic of your post. I basically hated the movie the first time I saw it until the SEALs showed up. Bored outta my skull. But, a year or two later, I gave it another shot. Loved it the second time! My expectations were re-aligned that time (as in, what I expected to see, not my hopes for the film) and I was able to better understand the pace and actual intensity of the film, while still enjoying the SEALs scenes (and the familiar faces of some of the SEALs and other actors).
