Actually the whole point of the film seems to be pretty cool as it wanted to say we have all the things we need to be free, we just need to use them.<br /><br />IT was a strange way of saying it and it wasn't successful but i wanted hot girls and violence and I got it.Mr Dgafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09805985596031861459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-24532835473591813402011-09-19T17:09:46.778+12:002011-09-19T17:09:46.778+12:00Julian - It makes me feel so guilty that I can'...<b>Julian</b> - It makes me feel so guilty that I can't say "it wasn't that bad"...I so wish I could!<br /><br /><b>rtm</b> - Ha, that's too bad!

Y'know what's funny, I asked a guy friend of mine to review this for my blog. He was all gung ho for it after the first time he saw it that he bought the movie! But then he watched it again and he had a completely different opinion. Needless to say, I didn't end up borrowing his Blu-ray.rtmhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-25949775448421140052011-09-10T09:44:54.948+12:002011-09-10T09:44:54.948+12:00I saw this recently, and honestly i found it to be...I saw this recently, and honestly i found it to be alrightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-67534582235110693902011-09-09T19:03:41.862+12:002011-09-09T19:03:41.862+12:00Brent - I'm glad I didn't have a migraine ...<b>Brent</b> - I'm glad I didn't have a migraine while watching this, but I think I did have one afterwards. I'm also glad I got this movie for free! (oh, the perks of having a DVD store...you can watch crap movies and not feel guilty for spending any money on them).<br />I totally agree!<br /><br /><b>Lesya</b> - Make sure you stock up on heaps of movies so you don't have any time to watch this one :)<br /><br /><b>Maria Sofia</b> - Jon Hamm is barely even in it...he's got like, 30 seconds screen time. That was a big selling point for me, too!<br /><br /><b>thevoid99</b> - Emily Browning is a very good actress, so I was a little bit pissed off that she didn't do that well here. I do agree, though...Gugino, Isaac, Glenn, Cornish and Malone were a lot better.<br />It would have been a better film had it just been about Sweet Pea and Rocket. I liked their backstory a lot and Cornish and Malone are two very talented actresses who would have pulled it off.<br />Well that's jolly good, then!<br /><br /><b>Robert</b> - I've only seen Watchmen...and I thought that movie was okay, certainly better than this one!<br /><br /><b>Toby</b> - I totally did!

It truly was just an effects-driven film, but I couldn't ignore the virginity/lobotomy thing. I thought that was mildly clever.<br /><br />I might be biased because I've truly enjoyed everything else Zack Snyder has done. This was the first original film he did. Kind of sad that it wasn't the greatest and it got trashed.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394045103473759585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-27006012335846181452011-09-08T09:06:45.679+12:002011-09-08T09:06:45.679+12:00I didn't think it was bad as a lot of people t...I didn't think it was bad as a lot of people thought it was. I watched with low expectations and it wasn't a good film. It had some moments but not much else. I think Emily Browning is a very good actress but she didn't really do a lot with her performance which I found to be very dissatisfying. Aside from Oscar Issacs, Carla Gugino, and Scott Glenn, Abbie Cornish and (my muse) Jena Malone were the saving graces of that movie.<br /><br />It was obvious that they were the only ones who kind of knew what to do and actually brought their A game no matter how messy the script and film was. I like their back story and wanted more from them. If it had been about the two of them, I think it would've been a more interesting film.<br /><br />I don't think the film was a waste of time because if it wasn't for this film. I wouldn't be motivated to write my script that I'm writing specifically for Ms. Malone.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-54131928759429958102011-09-07T23:46:07.564+12:002011-09-07T23:46:07.564+12:00I only hear about it when everyone was already say...I only hear about it when everyone was already saying that it was rubbish, so I never intended to watch it... that is until, I confess, I noticed Jon Hamm was in it.

Unfortunatley I saw a movie before this and had a migraine come on and I had paid for my ticket for this and I sat through it!!! Bad move!!<br /> This was a poor film that shows big bucks and quality don't ensue. For me it highlights the curse that CGI is one modern film making. It doesn't produce good cinema as filmakers would raher bombard the viewer with visual over load than supply acting, or heaven bid, a semblance of a plot.BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.com
