Weapon X Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I never read the graphic novel by John Wagner, but I hear this is a very worthy adaptation. This movie was great. I ain't gonna spoil (nor should anyone else), but if you want a really good character study, this is it. If you ADD kids can manage to sit on your hands for a couple of hours, I strongly recommend doing it in the theatre watching this. Cronenberg's best movie since The Fly, EASILY. Also, they managed to squeeze in some serious humour into the flick. I was laughing out loud in the theare, and I rarely do that. Go see it!

Gunm Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Corpse Bride was way overrated....kinda boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weapon X Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 My buddy and myself thought the movie was hilarious, but the old people in the theatre didn't quite catch on. Cronenberg fully knew what he was doing. Oh, man - what a good film. ------- Tease, seeking said that Lord of War is good, and Corpse Bride has to be decent. I want to see that soon - maybe after Serenity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story is decent but too many emotional moments make it feel slow... See it, but don't expect anything before hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnomeToys Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I'm a Cronenburg fan, liked his shitty old movies like Scanners and Videodrome. I didn't even know about this movie, I don't watch TV anymore so I don't see trailers unless someone tells me to go find one. I'll check it out. Sounds nifty.

Quoted post Scanners and Videodrome are about as far from shitty as it gets. I don't think Cronenburg has made a film that I didn't like, and I've seen them all. This one was great.

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I haven't left the theater with that quiet air of "holy fucking shit" draped around me since I saw "City of God" in theaters. Absolutely fucking amazing. Also, I agree 100% with King Bling about "The Constant Gardener". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 this movie looks really good. ed harris is the man such an underrated actor i'll take the advice however, i think the $8 cost of a movie is not worth it anymore. it's gotta be some special effects/cinematography monster to be worth that price no? unfortunately, my not going to see quieter movies in the theaters will only serve to undermine the studios' motivation to make smaller films.

PushbuttonWarfare Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 The whole movie through I thought girl was Diane Lane, and I kept thinking "fuck, honey love looks good for an old lady, goddamn." Then I found out it was the girl from payback. Good movie. Cronenberg loves that graphic shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
