I wanted to see more of Ray (Jammie Fox) then they showed. The previews leads you to think he is the main star...they lied. He had a small bit partSpoiler: Showand the AI plane tricked him so he got killed off early into the show, So you hate the AI plane then later they try to make it have feelings so you like it...insults your intellegence
So I would say wait for it to come out on DVD or Download, not worth the money in the theaters.

Thanks IKE I didnt see this thread...after reading my review are you going to see it the theater?Quote:

sort of like, uh, nearly all of the threads on the first page of the "movies & tv" section. with a coupla exceptions, theyre all based on comic books, based on video games, or theyre digital cartoons like WOTW & Stealth. :/

no, but if jessica biel's a character in the book and then i have the misfortune of seeing her do a promotional interview where she blathers on about how the pilots in the book are the best of the creme de la crop (what action book DOESN'T claim its hero is from some amazing & previously unheard of corps of elite deadly hotshot super-soldiers?)...Quote:

... then i'd reckon the book's prolly horrible.
ALSO: anyone else notice how quickly xxx 2: state of the union was rushed to dvd? wasn't it in theaters only a few weeks ago, or sumthin' like that?
a lot of my friends say they are going to see it just to see jessica biel in a bikini. heh.
i don't think i'll see it. it just doesn't look that good. maybe i'll see The Island, because it got more stars. but i'm not super enthused about Stealth. i don't know...
maybe it's just me??
is there a good torrent site with this movie on it?
ok watched the movie, sucked ass
stupid american ego movie
what a waste of time
What's an American ego movie? :huh:Quote:

Ya know. Like in U571 where the movie makers play to a (predominantly American) audience's ego or their sense of national pride.Quote:

That's an American ego movie. I duno if Stealth is since I haven't seen it - nor am I likely to.
How did I do in the post above?Quote:

You guys should see "three kings" now thats an american ego movie.
Hmmm...sounds "historically inaccurate". I've seen where film makers depict a film in an American light but that's fucking ridiculous. I've had that film for years on DVD and never watched it. :(Quote:

Since I didn't see it, and historical inaccuracies aside, did the movie have good action?Quote:

Well, you didn't ask how a movie about a stealth bomber with AI is an American ego film. I have no idea of the answer because I've not watched the film.Quote:

They glorify American heros ... or if they can't do that, they steal other country's heros - or simply make 'em up :schnauz:
Yeah, it's not that bad.Quote:

A hero is a hero, whether simply an American character in an American movie, an American military character, or a European character blahblahblah.Quote:

They glorify them. Americans are portrayed in a glorious light. There is a lot of glorification of Americans going on in films where movie makers glorify Americans.
Wait, did I say that. Oh yea ... I did :dry:
Oh damn you did.... :ohmy:Quote:

That's glorifying Americans. Do you see how it works now.
It's piece of shit inaccurate storytelling.Quote:

Since this is a genre of movies (American glorification), can anyone name some more?
I might feel like going to Iraq to get shot or somethin'.
Maybe Hollywood should stop making black glorification movies..portraying black people in a good light, spurring them to feel proud of where they came from. :dry:
Stealth sucked.
I refuse to watch U571 on principle. Just as I'm sure some Americans would refuse to watch a movie about a wholly British team of scientists inventing the Atom Bomb, as a Cuban might refuse to watch a Bay of Pigs film set on the Isle of Man or a Brazilian may refuse to watch a film about the 2002 World Cup where Peru win it.

Won't a movie, where you are fighting for your country, have patriotism in it?
The movie is called Independence Day ffs.....a slight allusion to July 4th.
Btw, I agree with you on the U-571 thingie.
I could have sworn there was a disclaimer put in the beginning of the movie about the British because of pressure from history buffs.
Even though some liberties will be taken, historically based movies should not change the important basics of historical events.
Making the heroes out to be American is fucking shameful.
However if there was a movie about Brits makin' da bomb...well if the movie looked like it was made well, I'd probably watch it.
I just think that movies that put forth as not being "what if's" but as real historical events are irresponsible.

Do other countries feel left out? I mean I heard someone get pissed 'cause WOTW didn't show action in another country. Are you that fucking stupid?
It would nice to see a nice epic 'round the world movie but 'it just ain't'.
I get why people are pissed over U-571 but don't get pissed at Hollywood 'cause your fucking country wasn't included in the lastest release ya dipshits. :dry:
You know what Hollywood does if they want Americanize a movie? They fucking remake it....and still we didn't get pissed 'cause "aww man in China their always doing dem flips why come they don make kung-fu wit a white American in it.
Hollywood makes predominately American movies. Doesn't Bollywood Indian movie or sumthin'?
If an American turns out to be the hero in the movie don't be shocked. If it's a military it juuuuuust might have some patriotism.
I saw the same thing in Enemy At The Gates...all that fucking Russian patriotism. :dry:
Many of us like patriotism. Unfortunately we have Darth Sidious as our President...but that's another matter.
So far we've got....
U-571 (which was a travesty)
Independnce Day (we are fighting maraudingaliens WTFdoyouexpect...not to rally our troops :dry: )
What else?
Saving Private Ryan? Oh yeah it was mighty patriotic to send soldiers to get her last remaining son out of combat.
Unbreakable? A non-military movie where there is an American hero. It even has a black antagonist. Those damn white American heroes.
Hamburger Hill? Well no, we pretty much got our asses kicked.
Plus ain't that another military movie?
Die Hard? Well, wasn't too much patriotism there.....just some poor bloke trying to stay alive. Oh but he was a hero and uh Americannnn. :ohmy:
Hey Amelie wasn't American and was critically acclaimed.
Go watch that.
