Review the Movie You Viewed 10 (out of 10=Masterpiece)

Is that clear enough?

Munich is one atrocious sex scene away from being Spielberg's best dramatic film.

Your distaste for the final act of A.I. makes you a fully-fledged cinematic reject.

lazarus · 06-13-2010, 04:19 PM

The final scene is about as subtle as mid-80's Robin Williams on stage after an 8-ball. Same with Bana on the phone with the wife and baby.

The film isn't bad per se, but it's still a misfire. Nice to see Marie-Josée Croze in the buff, however.

It's the execution, not the idea.

Also, I'm getting use to being a reject by now.

I like the idea of Laz's execution.

Funny, I meant that Robin Williams metaphor as a response to LMP's Munich post, but it applies equally to the coda of A.I., which is equally bad and ham-fisted.

Hey Haley Joel, let me sit down next to you so I can unload a bunch of exposition!

I'm still convinced that we saw that in the same theater.

lazarus · 06-13-2010, 04:29 PM

I think I saw it on the 3rd Street Promenade on a weekday afternoon.

I literally could hear people groaning when the coda began, and throughout it.

I saw it in Westwood.

A few people groaned, but one guy yelled out "oh come on with this fucking bullshit" and it was hard to argue. I still love much about that film, very much, but that was hard to stomach.

If I ever showed A.I. to friends, I'd probably pause in-between for about five minutes so they could enjoy a great film on its own, and then subject them to that landing on par with Wile E. Coyote's skills.

Maybe someone will choose AI for the movie club.

Lancemc · 06-13-2010, 04:37 PM

You didn't get it.

No, but seriously.

Hm?

Lancemc · 06-13-2010, 04:39 PM

It's way more snobbish not to explain what I mean.

lazarus · 06-13-2010, 04:44 PM

We're intelligent enough to understand what was going on, as well as the "irony" which causes to many to defend it. It was just poorly-written and directed.

That's true.
