I just can't imagine giving over a couple of hours of one's life to either of these men's movies. The conversations in Summer Hours are so much more exciting to me than any cinematic explosions.OscarGuy wrote:It's fun if you like explosions. The one thing I like about Emmerich compared to say Michael Bay is that Emmerich actually WANTS the audience to see what's going on. Bay just wants things to quickly edit together. I may not like either director's inability to weave a coherent or credible story, but at least Emmerich makes you delight in the destruction in creates.

BTW, the escape sequence from Cusack's ex-wife's house towards the airfield is a chaotic, destructively beautiful sequence that dwarfs any visual effects piece that I've seen so far this year.

I am fairly intrigued. With so few films on my "must see" list...it's good to have one. This and The Lovely Bones are about it that I'm actually excited about this season...and all year, really.

Really?? I'm extremely excited for this film, maybe I'm alone, but the trailer makes it look great in my opinion. I guess I don't know if I care about whether it amasses the most nominations or really any nominations, but it is the film that I most look forward to these last 2 months. Especially with Invictus seeming pretty bland....is no one else excited to see this film?Sabin wrote:It still doesn't really make me care about this movie.
