Ahh, but is the recommendations via a media related outlet (radio, TV, newspaper) ?

I must admit, almost every film which I have seen that is highly rated by the media has been crap, or at the least nothing worth shouting about.

It may not look like advertising.....but in most cases it is.

Did you not see the trailer?
Would have thought that was a fairly clear warning of what you were in for....

Bad Santa was alright, and the majority of the cinema seemed to think so too.

The scene in the boxing ring was pretty funny.

Thumbs down

Reservoir Dogs must be the worst film of all time.

No action from start to finish.
Just a bunch of blokes in a warehouse pointing guns at one another, shouting and acting hard.
Even the infamous ear cutting scene happens off camera.

But I loved Pulp Fiction! Though I needed a lot of convincing to go to see it after the hugh letdown of the overhyped and underdelivering Reservoir Dogs. I just expected so much from what people were saying about Reservoir Dogs and felt let down when it delivered so little.

Another vote for "Open Water".... complete and utter tosh.

Now, if you want scary - go and see "SAW". Brilliant film.....

Strange....

I thought Reservoir Dogs was fantastic, with the depth of characters, the comic bits, the way the story was told, the way it was shot (even though it was on a budget) and just the general grittness (sp? - if it is a word!!) of the film.

On the other hand, I found Pulp Ficton too polished, tried too hard to be like Reservior Dogs, the convoluted story and the way it was told.

Much the same for me with Kill Bill, I loved part 1 and found it clever with great story telling, but part 2 left me thinking "was that it?" The only saving grace in part 2 was the homage to old Kung Fu movies!!

Personally I watched Reservoir Dogs after all the hype had died down and just watched it.. and I was surprised that I really enjoyed it. I really looked forward to Pulp Fiction, but found I was left pretty dissapointed with the film!

21 Grams, what a pile of cack!!

Tried to tell the story in a clever fashion, but done very badly unlike movies like Memento which was cinematically fantastic IMHO!

(Yawn) Deer (yawn) hunter?(yawn, yawn)???:

Watched it with a mate, we'd heard such GOOD things about it, that we sat right through it waiting for SOMETHING to happen. It never did

Afterwards, we both said we wanted to go to the pub from the first hour in!

We "must" have missed the point of this "Great" film then?
