Thoughts on "The Island"?

[Mentok]

Minority Report was a bore to watch. You take out the action sequences in the Island and you'll end up with the same borefest of a film MR was. I found the island quite entertaining. If it were made by David Fincher everyone *****ing about it would all of a sudden have glowing reviews.

Minority Report was far superior to The Island.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

The movie was bad Ewan's american accent was awful and Scarlet was miscast and horribly confused. You could tell she didn't know what the hell to do with her thinly written character and didn't know how to handle this type of movie. (Big SFX heavy loud action movie) The movie was boring and cliched to the max. Thumbs Down.

Minority Report was far superior to The Island.

I thought so too but it was still just an okay highly overrated movie IMHO.

 

[XwolverineX]

Nothing special, but I liked it.

I dig it...I think it's his best film aside from THE ROCK and it didn't deserve to do as badly as it did...

 

[Kaboom]

it was a two hour commercial for sony, xbox, aquafina, and anybody else who wanted to buy time for product placement.

Yeah, best commercial ever made.

I liked it. I loved Ewan and Scarlett's performances and any film with Steve Buscemi can't be that bad. I felt the storyline was fairly good if a bit of a rip-of. It could've been a lot better if there was more focus on the plot instead of letting it degenerate into a typical Michael Bay explosion fest.

And Bay is a moron for not letting Scarlett go topless.

A movie that started off well enough with good mood and atmosphere; however, Bay soon enough couldn't resist the opportunity to remind us that it is his film. This is when the film started to crap out, and we are soon exposed to his usual assortment of laughably ridiculous action scenes and over the top editing cliches.

The worst part of Minority Report was better than the best parts of The Island, if such a thing even existed in the latter.

Its telling when the execs decide to place blame on their cast, which was the least of their worries.

Michael Bay couldn't direct traffic through a McDonalds drive-thru without something blowing up in slow motion from a hundred different angles.

It was a good "popcorn" flick.....no heavy thinking...lot's of action....a summer movie.

Yeah, that'd pretty much how I look at it, but I can't help but think that if there was more focus on the plot and less on the action it could've been something with a little more depth.

 

[CConn]

I thought it was...acceptable. The concept behind it was pretty interesting, and McGregor and Johansson were really quite good as the leads, but the direction was quite terrible, I thought. If it had been made by a superior director as an out in out science fiction film, it would've been much better.

I'm not one of those actresses who's going to stop eating.

 

[James"007"Bond]

it can't touch "The Rock"..that movie is a fckin classic as Lord Blackbolt just stated

Of course its a classic, it has sean "the man" connery.

 

[Edward Brock]

People kept saying that The Island was finally a good Bay movie. I watched it and thought it was all pretty pointless. Sci-fi? Yeah right.

At least The Rock didn't pretend to be something it just wasn't. Stick with Bruckheimer dude.

 

[Obsidian]

Of course its a classic, it has sean "the man" connery.

and Ed Harris and Michael Biehn...the confrontation between the mercenaries and the Navy SEALS in that shower room was pure awesomeness
