Just watched this recently and really enjoyed it. Thought the ending was OK.

While it was little short, the book is still much better than this movie. Why can't you read the book?Originally Posted by Letti
I will check it in the English bookstore but it's possible they don't have it so I need to order it.
Roland would have understood.
I just saw Red Belt. Had a lot of depth for a martial arts movie which was refreshing. Four beers on Jerome's system.
Saw it last night. Loved it. The scenes where he was learning to fly, especially his first try were priceless. You almost felt sorry for the poor robot arm on fire duty. All the actors did a great job.
Oh, I can't wait to see "Red Belt". I love Mamet. Heading to see "Speed Racer" on Monday (work is delaying me from seeing it this weekend). I loved "Iron Man"....

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
I saw the previews for another Incredible Hulk movie. This isn't a sequel to the last one, is it? Do they think if they keep making this movie one of them will hit?
No and yes.
Just saw Mother again.
Yeah, I'm still confused as to why they're making another Incredible Hulk film seeing as the first one didn't too well, and didn't that one only come out a couple of years ago.
The fact that the first remake (by Ang Lee) did NOT do well is part of the reason for the remake. Marvel has more control over this version and there's a tie-in to the Avengers movie just announced. This one is supposed to be more "true" to the adventure and story of the Hulk. I'm looking forward to it.

The original teaser looked terrible, but the trailer I saw before Ironman the other night had some redemptive qualities. We'll see.
Agreed with everything Jimmy typed up there - the comic relief parts were (gasp!) actually funny, the action scenes were well paced, and the suit itself is just a wander to behold on screen. Downey was impeccable as Tony Stark, and I can't wait for the sequel.
The end was the best. I couldn't stop laughing.
Roland would have understood.
Yea, I'm holdling my breath on the new Hulk... of course, like a ComicBook-Movie-Lemming, I'm going no matter what.

1 more month til The Dark Knight!
Excellent movie! I agree wholeheartedly with Jimmy and Rejso's reviews.
And Letti...the ending when he started reading from the card and then basicially was like...screw it.."I'm am Iron Man".I laughed my butt off.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
Same here. It was a-w-e-s-o-m-e.And Letti...the ending when he started reading from the card and then basicially was like...screw it.."I'm am Iron Man".

And kudos to who ever made the decision to hold off on using the Black Sabbath song until just that moment. It was perfect.
i'm sitting here in my ACT class watching it right now. we're in a computer lab.
WANTED ......the movie.
OK, I just saw this trailer and that looks BADASS!!!!!
Jimmy, Feev, you gots to watch this! It looks like another equilibrium type movie, and I bet it ends in the Dinky Earshaw way, if you catch my drift.

"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
It does look good. I am a little disappointed they didn't use the costumes such as the comics. I'm not huge on costumes, but the ones in Wanted where bad ass.
"As for gunslingers, Roland," Cuthbert says, "I am here. And we are the last."
When two fit, it makes you think
I got the cute one, my woman
She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
When two fit it makes you think
See us both in the black
She lays on me so relaxed.

I've been following the trailers for this movie for a while, but it doesn't hold my interest much. The graphic novel doesn't appeal to me either...well, the first few pages anyway.
Maybe I'll check it out anyway though.
i didn't even KNOW it was based on a comic.
I just said Jimmy and Feev because I figure if it looks good to me it'll look good for you.
We'll see when it comes out, this is one movie I'm definitely going to the drive in to watch....

I saw this trailer months ago in Cinema's. I'm very sorry I did. As soon as I saw that bullet not go straight I lost all interest. And I despise Angelina Jolie so I'm skipping this one. Isn't Morgan Freeman in this? For Shame Morgan, for shame.
