I like clocks.
in Zocalo v2.0
It's out...and it's goood.
I had some issues with over-the-top product placement in a few spots, but movie as a whole made up for most.
One thing I did notice about it was the run-time versus perceived coverage. It felt as if it were missing about a half hour of general character development. Its largest weakness seemed to be that many characters felt as if their development was "skipped" past and the plot advanced. This, however, is only a minor complaint given the general quality of the rest of the movie. Superb.

It was a fun/good movie. Only problem was all the funny parts because there was this guy behind me and he didn't talk during the movie or anything but every time something funny happened he laughed really loudly. Became quite annoying at the end. :p
Hope they will put the lost bits into dvd, now its prolly done american audiences in mind, and cut all the "needless" bits between action.
Of course there were cliches, it was a superhero movie, how could there not be? But they didn't feel like cliches, they felt right and logical as if it was stuff like this that invented those cliches to begin with. It was only at the end that I realized they were cliches at all right before I realized I didn't give a shit.
I agree with Sanfam that if it had one weakness, some characters were underused and/or underdeveloped. I still felt things for said characters however so it wasn't a huge problem and besides I have a very strong feeling there will be a sequel...or three.
Overall, this was fantastic, one of the best movies I've seen in a while and certainly one of the best superhero movies I've ever seen. I'd say it even topped Batman Begins for me, at least on initial viewing. Repeated viewings may make other flaws more obvious, we'll see.
One last thing, welcome back Robbie! OMG he proved his acting credibility with this, he was totally at the top of his game and he has never looked hotter, and that's from someone who has always had a crush on him. :D
Singing Detective was nice... He was in Good Night, Good Luck.. Scanner Darkly.. Zodiac.. and even better, he will be in a funny looking comedy called Tropic Thunder. Even if it has Ben Stiller, seems like its going to be fun.
Stiller can be highly entertaining. Zoolander is a great comedy (mind you, part of that is Duchovny as the former hand model turned conspiracy theorist).
Other than that, *fun* movie. And you *must* stay to the very end.
I was thinking the same, actually. I couldn't place the name until now, but there you go. :P

You mean you didn't turn around, take it away and throw it? I almost did that once and I think I will the next time someone tries that shit on me.
I ended up next to some rather large person who refused to share the left arm support. When he finally moved I put my arm down. Then he proceeds to put his damn drink in the arm support I just claimed. :rolleyes:
Anyhow, this is why you go to good movies 30+ minutes before they start. You get to scout on a good location and "save" chairs around you so you will have elbow room. :) Oh, this was the first movie I ever saw in digital projection. All I can say is.....niiiiiiiiiicccccceeeeeeeeeeee.
Oh god no. Anything but that! :p
But no, seriously, I need to see this movie again. Maybe tonight if I finish my homework. :D
Hrm, that's pushing the rules there...[url]http://forums.firstones.com/showthread.php?t=7233&highlight=Steven+Siegal[/url]

My only complaint besides the rather brief character development (if they cut a bunch then maybe fixed with a directors cut?) was that we didnt get to see enough of the suit kicking ass before getting trashed.
Actually thats my only complaint with most of these films: you get great detail on their personal lives and such, and when they come up against the uber-bad guy who kicks their ass until the last fight scene, but you dont get to see them kicking some [b]serious[/b] ass first! I know it would get boring after a while if they come out on top for most of the film, but dammit that just wasnt enough!
:) my 2 cents
And yes, War Machine was a pretty big hint! :D
