[Carmine Falcone]

I think this movie looks very well made and entertaining, but not really exciting.

 

[Sava]

5 Clips!!!

From what I have just seen, dialogues and acting in the movie will kick ass

 

[Caliber]

Good to hear but the previews aren't that bad.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Weird, I just saw the commercial for the first time last night and was very excited because it looked exactly like I wanted it to look.
I haven't seen a full trailler but I can't imagine how it could "suck".
Looks awesome. Love the authentic looking 60's-ness.

I don't get what people want it to look like. It looks great the full trailer throws in music from the sixties so what more can people ask for?

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

That's what intrigues me about it, this more innocent, idyllic-looking time, dudes with short hair and dress shirts and bouffant hairdoed chicks and that mild, washed out polaroid look and then this twisted, evil sociopathic genius terrorizing them all for no good reason and never being caught. Awesome.

Maybe some uninformed kids wanted it to look like "The Cell" or "Freddy vs. Jason" or something.

So true, it is interest to see a story where the killer is never caught. Its really interesting to read the letters the Zodiac wrote the cops and newspaper. The guy was a genius.

 

[Arcturus]

I can't wait to check this film out, it looks pretty damn good.

There's a clip up at AICN, not much though.
I didnt know we were going to see the killer with his victims like we do in it.

 

[Movies205]

I'm a little confused by the trailer, what exactly is the tone of this movie going be? Is it going to be dark and suspensful, or more tongue in cheek?

 

[green]

You know Movies, Im not too sure. That clip, the tv spots Ive seen and knowing it's Fincher would lead me to believe its pretty dark but that music in the darn trailer throws it completely off.

It's quite an interesting review.

 

[Dark Donnie]

did anyone see the 20/20 thing last night on Zodiac?? Had some clips from the film and it talked about how they reopened the case recently

I try to stay away from movie reviews now a day, I find a film is more enjoyable when you know less, like in terms of set-up so I try to stay away from reviews. It could be more or less in line with Fight Club which Fincher considers a dark comedy, especially since they never catched the real zodiac killer, right? Anyway I'm excited, I love Fincher, he hasn't delievared a bad movie yet!

Nice Avy, Tim Sale's Batman artwork is awesome.

Yeah, I try to stay away from most of em too, I like reading them after Ive seen the movie to compare. Here's an excerpt though that gives nothing away.

Overall, Fincher has made a mesmerizing picture that recalls the most significant movies of the 1970s (for some critics, it's the last "Golden Age" in American film), when most of its story is set. "Zodiac" recalls films like "The French Connection," "Klute," "Serpico," "Dog Day's Afternoon," "The Conversation," "All the President's Men," and "Network." The best compliment I can pay Fincher is to suggest that Sidney Lumet, Hal Ashby, Sydney Pollack, Allan Pakula, and Coppola, to mention the decade's masters, would be proud of his intriguing picture, which as of today, is the best American film of the year.

And Emanuel Levy is a pretty picky reviewer.

Thanks, and obviously I agree
I cant stand his Superman work though.

Very interesting I absolutely love some of hte pictures mentioned there, like Network. I like Fincher style but how he doesn't lose sight of characterizations so I look forward to this.

Are you talking about Superman for All Seasons because I ahven't read that yet. I been so busy the last thing I read was Age of Apocaylse TPB VOl. 2, I ahve an unread New X-Men omnibus at home waiting for me(1000 pages of Grant Morrison goodness)

That review got me pretty intrigued to see the movie, I think the problem is people are going to go into this thinking its something it's not. I personally cant wait though, Fincher's work is always compelling to me.
There's also a link at AICN that leads to a New York Times article about how Fincher shot the film thats pretty cool.

Yeah, it's a good story I just dont care for Sales Superman design.

He truly was a real life Batman villian

 

[Dr. Evil]

Could this fim re-start the investigation?

I remember a segment on Unsolved Mysteries where someone said that he believed that the Unibomber and the Zodiac Killer were the same guy.

 

[Dark Donnie]

The investigation is reopened. They guy who Graysmith believed was the Zodiac died a few years back. They did DNA tests on the letters though and they found the DNA on the letters didn't match the DNA of the supposed killer.
