WEll to appreciate it then they better get up to speed.... slackers!

Frankly, I would've rather the movie skimmed much more over the setting up the powers bit, and if people didn't quite understand, well, let them find out from people in the know or (heaven forbid) by reading the comic books themselves.

The preview for Hero runs before Kill Bill Vol. 2, and I have to say it looks awesome. I'm a little worried, though, that the release will be LA/NY only. It seems Hero was originally released in Asia in 2002 and was even nominated for an Oscar (Best Foreign Language Film). It has been quietly garnering a cult following over here as the DVDs, which have been out over there for some time, slowly make their way over (they're illegal here, of course, but we all know nobody cares). I read that the only reason it's being released here at all is that Quentin Tarantino has agreed to "present" it (whatever that means...I guess he did something similar for Iron Monkey a while ago.

All in all i thought it concluded well. Now the next two movies on my must see list are Troy and Hero w/ Jet Li (it looks like a much more action packed Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon)

Go here for info and trailers.... http://www.herothemovie.com/index2.htm

Troy was too predictable and long. I couldn't wait to get out of the theater.

I saw Van Helsing and The Punisher on back to back nights. I loved The Punisher and was laughing with the rest of the audience through the back part of Van Helsing cuz it was so corny.

Bluey and I just finished watching Kill Bill 1 on DVD and went to see Volume 2 last night at the 2.00 dollar theater. I enjoyed the 2 movies, but could have done without some of the bloody scenes.

*snicker* He was fidgeting the entire time durring the movie. Drove me insane. Of course it was predictable, it's an epic tale

I think the word was that it was boring. Even the epic tales where I know what's going to happen, usually I don't get bored. A movie is supposed to draw you into it and Troy didn't do that for me.

Maybe because most people already know the story.

My friend and I used the words "hits" and "misses" to describe the movie. When the movie "hits", you can't look away. When it "misses", it is difficult not to be dissappointed. And in my opinion, the "hits" of the movie always has Eric Bana in it. He delivered a very nice acting in this movie. Even if Troy was far from a perfect movie, it doesn't dissappoint the viewers as a summer fare. I watch movies in the theatres once a week and I recommended this on a lot of people who gave me a good review on the film.

I've yet to see Kill Bill 2. I didn't like the first movie so I'm not as enthusiased for this movie. I'll just wait for it on DVD. -_-

What did you think of Kill Bill Vol. 1?
