i am not great fan of cartoon movies but this one is very good
Funny all the way, fast paced, excellent graphics

it gives a good description of what happened, so that we can see the events of the kidnapping. It has good imaging.
on the other hand, it is kind of those washy movies that want you to feel positive but don’t add substance and don’t explain why that tragedy happened

as 300 this movie is cartoonish
You shouldn’t look for any psychological or political or philosophical insight. See it as another Superman or Batman. With a difference. Unlike these supernatural heroes, V enjoys slitting the throats of his enemies( see the scene when he fights the cops). This modern hero is a bad one, fit for the generation of youngsters who like violent video games.
“My hair was cut. I was tortured. I was tortured” Lol
A rat refusing food. Lol. A perfect cartoon otherwise, but hey I passed long time ago the age when I enjoyed Superman style movies.

boring, i couldn’t watch it, very not funny

some songs are interesting, great special effects and visualization
on the other hand the story is pretty one-dimensional

My brother made a subscription to an editure specialised on eastern spirituality. So I had the ocassion to peruse some of these books and I learnt about Milarepa and read about buddhist mystic and wise tales.
This is what I was expecting this movie to depict. I was disappointed. Milarepa is a young boy who seeks revenge for the injustice done to his family. He masters the evil powers. And then he attacks his foes. We learn too little about the wiseness of his teachers and when it gets better, the movie stops. It has only 90 minutes.
It looks more like Lord of the rings. Not deep, bring the kids to see it.

ok, add some American stereotypes: a radio broadcasting football news, golf, Shrek, car race,
add some tearjerking apocalyptic scenes: a kid crying, the president making a statement, the evacuation
add some CGI and Will Smith, mix these ingredients and you get a movie for average Joe.
All is plain clear: we have the good guy, some virus gets loose and some men are transformed in zombies. No need for much intrigue or existential questions.
Also some things don’t make sense and i give 3 examples: why the cure for cancer will be announced as…just another news? why the zombies don’t attack when he’s injured and crawling, instead they unleash the dogs? what makes HIS blood so special that cures the virus?

Anton Cigurh is bizzare, lacks empathy for others, and has some (sick) intelligence. Rather a practical intelligence. He seems to defy the bullets and he walks calmly as if nothing can happen to him. He’s the God. He decides who lives or die. His “principles” are like the ten commandaments. In the end, he suffers an accident. That shows he can survive the predictable but still is under real God’s choice.

There is a lot of dark humor.” Sir, a bone sticks out of your arm. Let me sit for a minute.”
” Is Carson there?”“Not in the sense you mean”

The movie has two parts that didn’t capture my interest: the first 45 minutes and some scences from war, well most of the movie.
The story is not developed emough and is rather simplistic.
We don’t really get to know what the characters experience inside except an unconsumed love story.
As the end approached, the melodrama reminded me more of Titanic.

It seems that Mel Gibson has intention to bring to screen all the palette of torture and human sufferance.

Like in Passion of Christ, this movies shows the Golgota of the main hero. It specializes further to depict humiliation, hate, basal instincts of killings and torture.

It seems that there are many similarities with 300. The same violence, blood spurting from venae, macho guys. The same ridiculousness and caricature: for example describing chasing by animals: in 300 we have rhino and an elephant, here a leopard and snake. Darius and the Mayan ruler look similar. Conclusion: it uses the same caricatured methods to attract adolescent audiences and above all, sell in theatres. No matter that lowers your i.q.( if that is possible :) ).

The good things about movie is that it has action and creates tension towards the end.

Also some things don’t make sense: the eclipse has duration of 3 minutes, why the hero has to hide his wife in a hollow in earth when he could sent her in jungle…
