This should give you a pretty good estimate.

"Repo Men has an intriguing premise, as well as a likable pair of leads, but they're wasted on a rote screenplay, indifferent direction, and mind-numbing gore."

No one can tell you whether you personally would find this ( or any ) movie worthwhile or not ,that is oddly one of those things you have to determine on your own.
Life a bitch sometimes isn't it ?It would be a whole lot easier if someone else would just decide how I feel about everything and save me the trouble of independent thought.If nothing else I'd probably have a lot more time to snack then.

Just go with this, Idol. It even covers snacking...

Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American dream.
About me, about you, about the way our American hearts beat way down
in the bottom of our chests. About that special feeling we get in the
cockles of our hearts, maybe below the cockles, maybe in the subcockle
area. Maybe in the liver. Maybe in the kidneys. Maybe even in the
colon, we don't know.

(Sung)
I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job.
I'm your average white suburbanite slob.
I like football and porno and books about war.
I got an average house with a nice hardwood floor.

My wife and my job, my kids and my car.
My feet on my table...and a cuban cigar.

But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested
no way
No, I've gotta go out and have fun at someone else's expense
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane,
While people behind me are going insane.

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

I use public toilets and I piss on the seat,
I walk around in the summertime saying "How about this heat?"

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces,
While handicapped people make handicapped faces.

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong...

NAAAAH!

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

(Spoken)
Know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado
Convertible, hot pink, with whaleskin hubcaps and all-leather cow
interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights... yeah! And I'm
gonna drive around in that baby at 115 miles per hour, getting 1 mile
per gallon, suckin' down quarter pound cheeseburgers from McDonald's
in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers and when
I'm done suckin' down those greaseball burgers I'm gonna wipe my mouth
on the American Flag and then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers
right out the side, and there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can
do about it. You know why? Because we got the bombs, that's why Two
words: Nuclear fuckin' weapons, OK? Russia, Germany, Romania, they
can have all the democracy they want...they can have a big democracy
cakewalk right through the middle of Tienamen Square and it won't make
a lick of difference, because we got the bombs, OK? John Wayne's not
dead, he's frozen! And as soon as we find a cure for cancer, we're
gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know
why? Have you ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15
million times, that's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be.
I'm gonna get the Duke and John Casavetti and Lee Marvin

and Sam Peckinpaw

and a case of whisky

and drive to Texas...(HEY, HEY HEY!>



Why don't you shut up and sing the song, pal?

(Sung)
I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole
A S-S H-O L-E
Everybody, A S-S H-O L-E
Arf, Arf Arf, Arf Arf, Arf Arf
Thoomph A-thoom-thoom A-thoom-thoom A-thoom-thoom
Oooooooo

(Spoken)
I'm an asshole and I'm proud of it

:lol: Asking others what they think of a movie isn't the same as asking someone if I would personally like a movie.

Thanks, sounds like one to give a miss.

No but you asked if the movie was any good so aren't you are basically leaving it (as with going by the critics at RT) entirely up to someone elses opinion whether to watch it ( ie whether you might enjoy it) or not.:unsure:

Geez RT wasn't ,despite the only 24% fresh, a slam dunk stinker.Most crtics had something positive to say even if on a whole they couldn't recommend the movie.Those are usually the kind of movies that if you find the premise intriguing you end up, maybe even despite yourself, really liking .

Of course now by listening to other people and as I said not bothering to form your own opinion that is something you will never know.

Btw I give this thread a 1/10

Btw those critics that you are basing your decision entirely on are mostly middle-man family men/woman who see roughly on average a thousand movies a year each , think Federico Fellini is God and Adam Sandler is the anti-Christ.
If you fit into that demographic then you've probably done the wise thing.

The Grand Inquisitor:clearly you have no idea what kind of a can of worms you are opening here! Just be quiet and let us decide these thing, we know what is best

Doesn't Make sense

Agreed :)

Just because I said it looks like a movie to miss doesn't mean I won't watch it. The idea of reviews and asking others opinions is to get a rough idea of whether it is something worth watching and then make your own mind up. You might have been mistaken when you previously used the term 'independent thought' but independent thinkers still use various sources of information to make their own decisions.
