I’ve already got my ticket to one of the IMAX showings on Friday (I’m a huge Vanessa Hudgens fan, so I have been looking forward to this for at least a year now)…the soundtrack came out yesterday and it is AWESOME – seriously, a very unique batch of classics reworked. It’s not what I would have expected.
I don’t understand what me being a girl has to do with my opinion about this movie
I watched the trailer and then tried to google up the video game it was based on. Imagine my surprise when I found out it was was not a movie based on a video game, it was an original script that sounded and looked like a video game.
For the same reason chick flicks are chick flicks.
This is my argument against the popularity of the “Chainmail Bikini School of Art.” Warriors can wear practical clothes and still look sexy and cool, by crikey dickens!
RottenTomatoes lists it as “No Score Yet” and opening tomorrow. Evidently it’s being kept under tight wraps – no preview screenings, no critic sceenings.
I sense a certain lack of confidence. (And cluelessness – if it stinks, the word is out via social media so fast that hiding until the very last minute won’t save the opening weekend anyway.)
And you’ve never had the word ‘dude’ lofted in your general direction? :dubious:
I think you are an internet construct.
Given that it’s Snyder’s first original film and how hard they’re pushing the “you will be unprepared” theme (to the point of calling the movie “Sucker Punch”), I’m more inclined to believe he’s trying to avoid spoilers.
Not that that helps me, it’s not being released in Australia for another two weeks.
See, I hate chick flicks, and I’m female. The closest thing to a chick flick that I like is The Princess Bride, and it’s not because of the “kissing parts.” I do like monster films and action films. But this… eh. I dunno. I thought the commercials were some over the top elaborate joke for… I dunno, something else - when I first saw them. Like it was a takeoff on that “Drawn Together” riff on gay marriage leading to Nazis riding dinosaurs through the Apocalypse.
Well the trailers are fascinating and i have no problems with chicks fighting. I am looking forward to it
I don’t like chick flicks either.
OF course I have, people say “dude” all the time. But they don’t then put in parenthesis ( and you are a dude), meaning (I think you are a dude). What the heck is an “internet construct”??
An internet construct is an artificial personality, generated either as a consensus entity by a group or (more often these dyas) as a random phrase reaction engine by a single server/application. They are the true “ghosts in the machine” and are usually indistinguishable on a message board from meat-based participants.
um… ok… still not getting why someone would think i’m a machine…
Probably just trying to push your buttons.
I’ve noticed this trend by some people when your opinion differs from theirs.
Ditto.
Your offense at my mistaking your gender is a bit overblown. If I saw a post, with a made up username, and two or three sentences, how the ever-loving…er, how on earth would I know what bathroom you frequent?
Eta: Besides, It wasn’t I that called someone’s intelligence into question. How would YOU expect me to react?
I’d expect you to take a katana to a nazi robot dinosaur, that’s how I’d expect you to react!
Nonsense! I’m not a girl in a sailor outfit.
Actually, there were critic screenings, because I attended one last night. I was pretty stoked for the film, because I was a huge fan of Watchmen and 300.
Sadly, the rest of your quote is true. The film is uneven at best, and regrettably similar to stuff we’ve seen before. It’s visually dynamic, and Zach Snyder has a very strong directorial approach that mostly works, but it starts to feel long. I checked my watch twice, because it starts to drag in places.
I think this is because the “twists” are seen coming from a mile away, and the character development is haphazard and lacking.
The zombie steampunk nazis were cool, though.
The thing I find really odd was the decision to edit it down to PG-13 instead of R. That obviously entails limits on the cheesecake and violence, requiring the plot to serve as more than a skeleton upon which to hang the presentations thereof. I gather that the plot proved unequal to that task.
