Million Dollar Hotel--Thumbs up or down?

[Utoo]

Not the soundtrack-----just the movie itself.

I watched the whole thing straight through for the first time today (it's on HBO). I haven't decided yet if I like it or not......

What do you think?

 

[Numb1075]

I hated it

 

[U2Man]

Weird.

But the soundtrack gets a huge

 

[bathiu]

Great movie IMO...

 

[ramblin rose]

I've never made it to the end. It puts me into a deep sleep by 35 minutes in.

Mel Gibson was right when he said that it was as boring as a dog's arse. The soundtrack is good, but the movie is bad. It's unbelievable and that might be its biggest fault.

 

[Bono's Doll]

I wanted to like it, but just couldn't. The music is good though.

 

[AtomicBono]

I haven't watched it in years, but I remember it being artsy and weird, so it's probably good.

 

[Liesje]

Weird. I love the fifth Beatle guy though! I might use the movie for a project in social psychology...

We don't know what it is, so it must be art.

tried to like it, but in the ends I decided it SUCKS!!

 

[The Disciple]

Definitely different. I don't think I could personally do better, so I can't say 2 much....

 

[corianderstem]

I did not like it one bit. I couldn't even sit through the commentary, even with Bono's voice coming out of my TV for two hours. I made it about 10 minutes into the commentary and said, "Nope. Not gonna happen."

Okay, who let Gollum onto the boards? LOL.... I'm just kidding.

It took me three days to watch it the single time I attempted it.

 

[U2dork]

Like others, I tried to watch it 3 times and each time I fell asleep.

Movie
Soundtrack

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I rather liked it. Then again, I have really odd taste in movies.

It's rather normal compared to any John Waters film, and I have his box set.

It's not super great, but it's not total crap either.

 

[annie_vox]

I haven't seen it yet... But I intend to. Do you think a Tim Burton lover would like it?

 

[WinnieThePoo]

it was good , love story , wim wnders is a good director

 

[Bono's shades]

I kind of liked it. Then the ending came and I was like "WTF"!?

[Tiger Edge]

It's in that grey area of movie ratings.
I watched it alone and that's probably the reason why I'm on the fence.

I have to watch it again eventually.

 

[u2granny]

How's this..I liked it more than Entropy.

 

[Earnie Shavers]

I think Wim Wenders is fucking fantastic, but I haven't seen this. Probably more because of Mel Gibson than anything else.
The soundtrack is awesome though.

Wenders hasn't been watchable for nearly 20 years, now. It was shit.

Dude's one of my favorite directors of all time, but this one stank. It's even worse than, for example, Until the End of the World.

AND...

...it's even worse than Stay.

Stick with everything up to and including Wings of Desire and you're good to go. Oh, how I wish U2 had been on THAT film's soundtrack...!

 

[Earnie Shavers]

I didn't mind Stay. It's not a patch on Wings of Desire though. I haven't seen Until the End of the World (happen to know anywhere you can get this fucker on DVD?)

Boy, and I thought I could listen to him reading the Taco Bell menu.....
