YES.
Shia LeBouf was better in Transformers than Tommy Lee Jones. Fact.
I thought it was pretty middle of the road myself.
Yawn. Oh Federwang. Your tastes can be countered by simply saying that you enjoyed Transformers.
What was the point of Tommy Lee Jones' character?

Tommy Lee Jones' character is aging and becoming disillusioned with the world - especially since this tale shows the kind of violence he is incapable of understanding. By the end of the film, he's a broken man and yearns for old-timey simplicity.

Yea I got that, they pretty much hit you with that when he talks to the fat guy in the dinner. But his story goes nowhere and is boring as hell.

God, I used to think this forum had GOOD taste in movies.
Basically if this forum likes a movie, I expect it to tear it down within two weeks.

I haven't seen There Will Be Blood yet, and some other films (Atonement, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Gone Baby Gone) but I'm pretty sure a kickass Daniel Day-Lewis performance is the only thing that might rival Javier Bardem in this film for me.

Pretty much. Hell, I was about to give PD shit because he only gave it a 9. More like a 9.5 for fuck's sake.
I think more people wanted another Big Lebowski, not another Fargo. I havent seen the movie cause im not in the mood for anything dire, even if it is well done.
Sorry, anyone who can put Transformers on the same level as No Country for Old Men...
While I do have problems with the ending as well, it is a minor flaw in the overall story...
But shit, his performance was adequate.
Sorry, anyone who can put Transformers on the same level as No Country for Old Men...
I never did.

Didn't you give Transformers a B-?
Sounds like you put it on the same level to me.
oh wait dude, I was with ya till the Big Lebowski comment. Youre on yer own now.
Event Horizon > No Country
I was expecting this thread. We can never go too long before a movie PD, Cheebs and the BK Beast rally behind are shat upon for kool points and bonus boners. There'll be one for There Will Be Blood too, without a doubt.

Junos dumb. bobobobobo they talk fast and say things that are offensive to old people!
Event Horizon is pedestrian. It would have been a lot better with Shia LeBouf in the role of Dr. William Weir, and Tommy Lee Jones instead of Laurence Fishburne, and Ron Howard directing it.

OMG
just OMG

The only thing I am going to say about Juno, because it's obviously not this forum's taste in film, is that it's better than Little Miss Sunshine, and I think we can all agree on that.

hey, i haven't seen no country yet. i loved fargo a whole lotta, and i don't consistently share willco's opinions on movies.
little miss sunshine > juno > garden state as KOLLEGE KID KWIRK movies go
Everything gets it credit in due time - even Prole admitting to liking Borat after the forum hype died down. This is just the case of an overhyped, good-at-best film.
I hope you aren't trying to say this hype backlash thread is an example of NCFOM getting its "credit in due time". I'm pretty sure that would entail waiting for a point when hype isn't such a consideration!

Evidently. Even though Big Lebowski
WASN'T THAT GREAT.

while i haven't seen the movie, slavish adherence to a novel's structure and narrative isn't always GOOD for cinema. i'd like to assume the coen bros know the difference, though.
still, the shining is all the better for tossing out some of king's tripe in favor of its own themes. on the other hand, i think children of men would have been improved in the area of characterization by including some of the motivations and scenes from the novel.

Didn't say it was! I agree with you. But I also think No Country For Old Men is one of the best movies I saw last year. I agree with Willco that Tommy Lee Jones is just playing a variation on the characters he always plays (him and Morgan Freeman always play the same character types over and over), but he doesn't bring down the movie.
Sounds like failure to me!

The problem is not with the adaptation - it's with the actor. The movie essentially relies on a peformance that you even agree is merely adequate at best. And I'm sorry if I'm not enthralled with 30 minutes of a merely adequate peformance that abruptly stops a great film. If it weren't for the fact that the first 90 minutes were so good, it'd be a deal breaker altogether, but as is, it's just a good film.
The problem is that the home stretch relies on a heavyhanded character arc for Tommy Lee Jones, who turns in one of the most forced Oscar "for your consideration" reels I've seen in awhile.
Can you give another example of a forced Oscar performance? Like, in recent memory?
