Being a fan of the original for so many years I was excited to learn Scorcese was re-making it with De Niro and Nolte no less, so you can imagine my disappointment when I saw the finished film.
Nice to hear from someone who's actually seen it!
as with all Scot's movies visually very strong and a story that has been done before but too often not as good. A decent movie that I originally saw in the cinema upon release but could still motivate me easily watching it into the wee hours of the morning. {Why do they show so many good movies at ridiculous hours?}
Age of Ultron first viewing upscaled to 4K the film looks pretty God Dam good, the film has its flaws though been several months since I watched it one of my favouraite viewings of the film.
Got a good question for you. Since I know you love the classics, which film remakes do you consider to be the best?
Knowing about this film for a while, and seeing some members talk about it on this thread lately finally got me to see this film. And it did not disappoint in the slightest. One of the best thrillers I've ever seen. I totally loved the whole hitmen section of the film, both main characters were very charismatic, and they had some insanely brutal scenes
On an entertainment level, I needn't see another movie in theaters this year, because it isn't getting any better than that. I was a very, very big fan of the first one, and the sequel is much, much, much better, bigger and better in every single way.
There's certainly nothing else like it @DaltonCraig007
I just love the eerie sense of dread the film exudes.
The director Ben Wheatley has never come close to bettering it.
@Creasy47, I still need to see the first, and want to see the second in theaters.
I know some view these movies and others like them as mindless action, but in this case I have such respect for the production teams of these films for the kind of choreography they are able to pull off on screen. Watching these films is to appreciate some of the most unbelievable talents in the field of stunt work, with some of the most clever visuals around. That stuff can be just as appreciated as a drama's story, for my money.
The fact that there's still no performance awards for stunt crews at events like the Oscars is blasphemous.
It always bugged me that the Oscars lacked a category for that, but then I realized those awards shows are pretty much bullshit anymore, so now I don't bother with them.
Take this year: Martin Scorsese's 'Silence' has the same amount of Oscar nominations as 'Suicide Squad,' and one LESS nomination than 'Passengers.'
I know more people who watch the show because they care more for the red carpet and what people are wearing than the movies and film industry it's supposed to be celebrating. That's our world for you, looking at the superficial while ignoring all meaning and what is salient.
The hilarious thing is that I guarantee you most of the actors and actresses don't know or care what they're wearing, and they're just told by publicists to go along with it. They get random calls from "fashion people" and get money to wear their dresses like a mannequin on the carpet, and then the imbecilic presenters encourage the actor/actress to say what designer they're wearing to create a buzz about the person who made the suit or dress. It's the equivalent of Nascar drivers wearing uniforms plastered with sponsors. I love hearing stories about the stars then losing their clothes or the clothes being stolen before they can be returned to the designer after the awards show. Great, great karma.
I hate to say it, @DarthDimi, but those geezers probably slept through that one.
You know I was wondering if Batflecks abs got the 300 treatment in that scene it's a great training scene though, Rocky are my go to films for motivation I need to fire myself up to start training from scratch. :)
I thought it was good but check it out for yourself.
