Critically Evaluate the last movie you saw.

That brought a smile to my face.I would have laughed but for the fact there was no actual human suffering involved.

Something like this:



I'm a little frightened...

[Stehle]

"Ping Pong" balls made my night Meg..... Thank you.

I'm a little frightened...

How come if the term is "a little frightened" then the corresponding term isn't "a big frightened"?

[megabyteme]

I believe the corresponding term is simply to hand in your man card.

[Stehle]

Yeah, but you must have one first.

Edge of Tomorrow ...a decent movie, well directed, unique story or plot line. Lots of scifi action!

Overall very entertaining!

(Really wanted Bill Paxton to say, "Game Over Man, GAME OVER!" like he did in the "Aliens" movie for those who viewed it way back when.)

I've read your review a few times Stehle and gone away going be nice, it was a good movie, be nice, it was a good movie and it's true it is a good move but a unique story.... honestly all the way through I was going this is Groundhog Day with big fuck off guns and armoured suits. The movie is a pastiche of a lot of other ideas and there is the all pervading feeling that you have seen it before.

There was also one massively gigantic plot hole at the start. The General thanks his advertising genius who has just given him thousands of new recruits by falsifying reports of him impersonating an officer and sending him to the front line as cannon fodder.... really....??????? Why exactly would he do that? embolism?

The Equalizer: More Charles Bronson with a little Michael Myers sprinkled in than Edward Woodward.

The movie starts out really well but falls victim to a severe case of the stupids about the time the main villain is introduced and steadily degenerates into the truly implausible by the end.

If the director had had the sense or restraint to keep things '"smaller" and if not realistic then in the same area code at least ( I'm not going to use the assault rifle of the thug that I just killed because using a garden implement seems a lot more sporting) then he might have been onto something.

Anyway Denzel's OK if you can overlook the fact he already did pretty much the exact same thing in Man on Fire and Safe House so I'm assuming he and Liam Neeson are in some sort of contest as to who can play the same character in the most movies.

Didn't hate it but besides making me nostalgic for the original it left me feeling a little empty. As I didn't really give a review I'll quantify everything and give it a 4.5/10.

Morgan Freeman would have been the better the better Equalizer- having come up on the Street...

Too Morgan Freemanish.

I think the role needed someone middle-aged and milquetoast on the outside but steel underneath.Who that is I have no idea ,De Niro of a few years ago and not so New Yorkish, could pull it off maybe.Either that or Clark Kent.He's real,right?
Denzel is always going to strike you as the man of action type and that works against the character( when Woodard showed up people were given to thinking it was practical joke or something until asses started getting kicked) but that is the very least of this movie's problems.

I liked the Equalizer series. Much of its strength came from being protected by forces that were not available to "mere" civilians. When pressures were made, it was shown to these local-type criminals what pressure means.

There seems to be an element from the original that is somehow out-of-place.

Still intend to steal the shit out of the movie, just wish it could have maintaines some of its roots a little better...
