This thread needs a lot more talk of hot chicks with swords and ammo.
 
Screw that, I think we should talk about more putting Rick Jones in The Avengers.
 
Insomina was not a great movie. It wasn't terrible or anything but it was far from great.
I agree with Insomnia, but I really think Following is a pretty bad movie. It starts off good, with a nice premise, but it just gets extremely stale and boring.

Following-Didn't like it
Memento-Loved it
Insomnia-Meh
Batman Begins-Loved it
The Prestige-It's good, but not great
TDK-Didn't really like it.
Inception-Loved it
 
Sigh, Snyder and Raimi are completely different filmmakers than Nolan. It's like comparing Robert Rodriguez to Danny Boyle. Is it no longer okay to have a little variety? Everything must be visually realistic and gritty or it's shunned as no good?

:facepalm:
 
I hear Christopher Nolan is a man of true grit.

Well that's pretty depressing. I think Insomnia is one of Nolan's best. Maybe not enough anti gravity fight scenes.
 
^Yep, thats why 2 of my top 3 movies feature anti gravity scenes. Winter's Bone had the best action scenes of the year and the CGI was flawless and The Social Network, what can I say? Those action scenes make Inceptions look terrible. :rolleyes:

I never cared for Insomina and I'm not going to start now just because Nolan is popular. It was an okay 7 out of 10 movie and nothing more...to me.

I was kidding. Sorry if I came off as a d**k. I'm just surprised so many people find this movie to be meh. I guess what I'm used to seeing on other boards (not from anybody on here) is most people don't like it because it doesn't have a trippy high concept plot so most people seem to get mad when it's nothing more than a simple thriller (plotwise at least.) I didn't mean for my comment to really insult any of you, and I respect all of your opinions as you seem to at least enjoy it less for actual critical reasons. I guess I'm just used to the "WTH this is boring" from most boards.

Water under the bridge because it is very annoying when I have to constantly read how overrated and boring an actual well scripted and directed movie is while people on these type of boards constantly praise junk because "it wasn't trying to be serious or great, it was just trying to be fun."

I mean man do I understand your frustations about that. Thus is the price I pay for visiting nerd websites. And don't go easy on Hype, there are plenty of people on here who only love movies with bad acting and shinny CGI. That may sound snooty to some people but it's true. I love fun CGI-fests too but they aren't the only game in town and most of them are medicore to terrible films. I'm hoping that Suckerpunch lands on the "fun but doesn't suck" side of the wall.

Its my evil twin brother bashing Batman Begins in the Nolan boards. I am neutral. Fanboys and haters annoy me equally. The notion of defending Nolan without being a fanboy must be foreign to you.

I don't think you're a fanboy, I just find humour in deconstructing people's statements.
 
I was wondering how come Amber didn't seem to have a weapon in all of the promo pics, I guess this answer the question.
