Wait, wait, really only Act 3 had a ton of carnage, Acts 1 and 2 developed the story with the main characters and the issue with that character that arises. Once they get in the government building, essentially Act 3 begins. I thought Act 1 was great in explaining the background information of District 9. This movie was not all blood shed. This is more of a sci-fi drama than a sci-fi thriller.
Inglorious Basterds is actually pretty tame in comparison to QT's previous movies. Overall the movie was amazing. Highly recommend. QT has the ability to keep you glued to the screen even throught the dialogue (eg the first chapter which was mostly just talking but so intense). Havent seen district 9 yet, heard it was good
Well considering that District 9 is getting some high critical appraisal I'll take their "critically" informed opinion over yours. District 9 has deeper underlying themes than just violence and carnage. If anything it's pretty mild to a lot of stuff out there. Don't be such a girl.
You're such a buzz kill. District 9 was more about how a indecisive and "clumsy" character transforms (quite literally) into a commanding and deliberate one. I agree, the blood and gore was excessive but it doesn't ruin the movie! Some people probably did enjoy the movie just because of the gore but I liked the "realism" and character development. It was a fantastic movie.
I can't believe how much I liked this movie. Then again, I love lines and dialogue. I really liked the German Colonel and Shoshanna, as well as Brad Pitt's character. Not so much for Diane Kruger's. The gore wasn't that bad. We went as a group of 4 couples, and aside from two parts where my wife looked away for a second, even the women enjoyed it. They also all liked Pulp Fiction, though.
The only part of PF I turned away from was when John Travolta stabbed Uma Thurman in the chest with the needle. I'm looking for to IB.
Agreed. I saw it on Monday. Loved it. A few gory parts, but you have to expect a little of that in a Tarantino flick.
Here are 10 movies that I love: Three Days of the Condor The French Connection Chinatown L.A. Confidential A Civil Action The Shawshank Redemption Four Weddings and a Funeral Bridget Jones' Diary About a Boy Diner
^ Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorites also. I'm with ya on major gore. I dont need to see people getting their heads chopped off etc.
