Post by: Human Snorenado on June 09, 2007, 02:11:39 PM: Yeah, it's gonna suck, but please don't use CoM as a benchmark.
Title: Re: I Am Legend the movie will SUCK - Spinoff thread.
Post by: MrAngryFace on June 09, 2007, 02:13:19 PM: CoM's plot was crap. It borrowed only the things from the book that make no sense together and added new characters that made no sense and fucked up the ending.

Children of Men isn't the greatest book in the world but the movies focus on the govt chasing them instead of theo's personal growth as a character was a big for the lose since THEO is the focus of the book.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on June 09, 2007, 02:14:44 PM: OMG A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE ADAPTION ISN'T 100% LIKE THE BOOK KILL ITTTT

Dude, the movie is amazing for what it is. It's one of my favorite films of 2006, and the universal acclaim it has gotten from critics AND internet elitists is quite impressive.

Post by: MrAngryFace on June 09, 2007, 02:16:47 PM: I wish the TOS said I could ban people that have crap taste in movies because they have no clue what makes a good movie. Just because you found other distinguished mentally-challenged fellows on a planet of well over 6 billion people isn't arguing your case.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on June 09, 2007, 02:18:30 PM: When me and Triumph agree on something, chances are its a universal truth. As it stands, Children of Men is a great great movie, period.

I'm not gonna turn this into a CoM bitchfest, but saying that Theo isn't the focus of the movie when he's in EVERY FRICKIN SCENE is stupid. There's also plenty there showing his development, but you have to look for it.

And Michelle, you still have terrible taste even if you think it's fashionable to agree with the cool kids sometimes.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on June 09, 2007, 02:26:34 PM: Oh come on, my favorite movies of the year (no particular order)...

The Departed
The Fountain (lol MAF)
The Prestige (yay MAF)
Children of Men (lol MAF)
Pan's Labryinth

...are all pretty awesome wouldn't you say? Pursuit of Happyness isn't on the list, therefore I deserve some 'spect

Post by: MrAngryFace on June 09, 2007, 02:52:33 PM: Just cause he's in every scene doesnt mean he's the focus.

and PD, just cause you can bandwagon doesnt mean you have taste in movies.

It's pointless to try and debate this with you- you're just pissed they didn't make the movie follow the book exactly.

Post by: MrAngryFace on June 09, 2007, 03:50:19 PM: No, im pissed they weren't smart enough to take the RIGHT elements from the book. CoM the movie had a very weak plot which IMO is kinda important for a movie.
Title: Re: I Am Legend the movie will SUCK - Spinoff thread.
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on June 09, 2007, 04:33:53 PM: CoM the movie is actually really excellent, this thread is worse than your CRUSH one. I would normally be agreeing with you about how Will Welcome to Earf Smith is going to fuck up one of my favorite horror movies but instead I have to talk about how you think CoM is a bad movie and that Theo shows no growth in it. lol. I liked the movie a lot more than the book fwiw!

It's certainly isn't "bad" enough to let it come between us and trolling Will Smith's latest inane Hollywood venture.

YET MAF INSISTS ON USING IT AS THAT DIVISIVE WEDGE

where there should be unity MAF has sown only discontent

Post by: Phoenix Dark on June 09, 2007, 10:38:08 PM: The story isn't "bad", it's just sci fi. I think people are mad there weren't any laser guns and jet packs.

To those who think the movie is meh/good/average/bad/etc: would you cede that technically the movie is very impressive? Like, in terms of the cinematography, including the amazing tracking shots
Title: Re: I Am Legend the movie will SUCK - Spinoff thread.
Post by: MrAngryFace on June 09, 2007, 10:39:49 PM: Thats not why we're mad. ARE YOU DENSE?! Jesus fucking christ.

JUST good cinematography does not a good movie make. I've already mentioned Clive Owen's great acting and the great long shot, but the plot was scrambled garbage. They didn't go all the way making it their own, instead borrowing some of the weirdest parts of the book and inventing new characters.

I know you live in Japan, but get with the times son. Smith hasn't made a "theme" song for a movie since what, MIB? I know there wasn't one for ID4
