Hi Everyone,
I watched this movie later this afternoon.
It was an interesting movie to watch as it involved true events. I felt the movie had dragged on for most of the time it was playing. I felt there was too much focus on the one side of the movie. The investigation part and tracking down . I felt there should have been more of a focous on the killer and his methods, rather than the Cartoonist and the Police following and trying to track down the mysterious serial killer. It has not been the worst movie I have seen, but it comes pretty close. Wolf Creek takes the honourable # 1 spot of the worst movies evar awards.
The movie walks you through a process of elimination and events and a few twists with suspects. There were too many plots going on at once and the time lapses of the characters lives left me thinking "uhhh.... ok, so can someone explain this and how did you go from there to here"
Zodiac

Overall I give it 4 tracking serial killers out of 10. Ranked high for me on the "True Events part" ranked low on the how it was all put together and how it flowed.

i agree. the movie dragged on sooooooooooooooo fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking loooooooooooong. i saw it on its opening weekend and by the time it was over, more then half the people had left already. its ironic because when i first stepped in the theater i was like "i hope this movie depicts the real events of the zodiac killer (or killers) and isnt a mostly fictional hollywood retell"
i was eateing my words after what seemed like 5 hours later. i was praying for a sweet shoot out or anything more interesting then watching the cops and journalists talking about shit all. and the huge breaks ( 4 years later, 5 months later etc etc) made the movie lose what little momentum it had. id give it 1/5. i wouldnt recomend this movie, not even to rent (unless youre really bored)
now 300 on the other hand was fucking wicked. "oh it has no diolouge or themes or all that shit" s what you fags from ther journal say. i say fuck you. it was awesome. ive yet to meet someone who didnt love it. |

You've got to accept 300 for what it is, mindless entertainment. After reading all the hype on these boards I was a bit disappointed. It was still a fun movie to watch, but you don't exactly need to leave your brain switched on for it. |
