I really thought this movie was going to be complete shit, I was put off by the preview’s corny lines and the fact that it is an MTV film (although that goes without saying since it is coming from the cartoon)
just came back from it…it was alright, had bad scenes…but I found that it picked up nicely towards the end. still, a lot of people couldnt resist laughing at some of its cheesyness. I guess that made it fun cheese.
I haven’t seen the movie yet, I was supposed to see it Friday but my friend flaked on me(he always flakes on me when it comes to seeing movies). Few things though -
Couldn’t the actor who played Trevor Goodchild of dyed his hair blonde? What’s the big freaking deal just dye your hair or put on a wig yeash…
I liked the cartoon better before it had dialogue when it was on Liquid Television. There was also a lot more violence and sex before they started talking too.
Didn’t make sense without dialog, doesn’t make sense with dialog, the Herotus File book doesn’t make a lot of sense… so the movie makes sense I gather from the previews and what people are saying? That’s one of the reasons I feel Aeon Flux shouldn’t be made into a movie in the first place. Well, not a Hollywood one that makes sense anyway, it’s just wrong. Now if they made the film weird like “I Heart Huccabees” or “Being John Malkovich” or “Adaptation” or even the recent “Stay” or “Run Lola Run” or heck, the Japanese “Dead or Alive” movie trilogy or something like that that was just plain bizarre and made you think they might have something with an Aeon Flux movie but in the minds of Hollywood exectuives “OH NOOS TEH PEEPLE HOO WAANT TWO SAE CHARLIZE THERON KEEL PEOPLE DOONT WAANT TWO UZE TEREH BRANES OH NOOOS…”
But I haven’t seen this movie myself, thinking outloud I guess… I’ll see it tomorrow or Tuesday if my friend doesn’t flake out on me again.
I went to it thinking it would be complete shit like the rest and was pleasently surprised. I didn’t think it would be that good and while some moments were crap there were a few bright spots.
I think a lot critics might be upset because the studio didn’t allow for review screenings of the film, but if they did I think it would have been a sort of Thumbs up and Thumbs down reaction across the board.
I’m not trying to tell anyone how to do their job, but I thought that this sticky was meant to provide quick links for movie related threads, not be an “official movie discussion” thread, which seems to be what is happening with the X3 thread and my Rocky thread being merged into here.
Honestly, I just saw the movie yesterday and it really isn’t that bad at all. To me, “Aeon Flux” was rather enjoyable and I didn’t see what made the plot so hard to understand. This is one of the main reason that I don’t listen to critics.
Virtually all Indian films revolve around musical numbers. In many cases, the musical numbers are the most crucial factor seperating a successful film from a unsuccessful one.
Indians are a corny bunch…ive been messing with a indian girl that is hearing impaired…she is mad cool…but not very culturaly indian (thus why she is messing with me)…indian people as a culture only fuck wit indians or white boys(in that order)…it pisses me off…but at the same time it seems like the best looking indian women are in india and in these movies…
Gorden bennit now I remember why I dont watch Indian movies,
the only Indians I now watch now at the movies is that dude from Harold and Kumar go to white castle
Him and John Chow are like the most whitewashed Asian actors in Hollywood, though. I pity them, but it’s their fault for starring in teen comedy movies.
