is it good?

 

aka: The Hunt for Osama Bin-Laden...I think it's only just come out.
It's directed by Kathryn Bigelow (who also did 'The Hurt Locker') and its getting a lot of media-attention due to it dealing with CIA-Government sponsored torture...

 

i heard it's good but not great.

 

You heard wrong.
However, Im always a little suspicious when a movie gets universal praise.

I'll post a review this weekend

 

I bet you don't like it.

 

i prefer to watch homeland instead, but the movie was pretty good. better than the hurt locker.

 

Don't spoil the ending in this thread please. I once mildly threatened someone at work for giving away the close to Michael Jackson's "This Is It".

 

I was shocked at the end of "Titanic", when the boat arrived at it's destination in a safe and uneventful fashion, and they had the poor micks in the basement apartments freely mingling with the Vanderbilt's and Carnegie's of the world..............allied together through their unabashed hate of Kate Winslet's hips.

 

:laughing:

The end of that movie was a total mindfuck.

 

How can you say I heard wrong when you haven't even seen it yet?

Kathryn Bigelow’s follow-up to The Hurt Locker has been eagerly anticipated and is now being ridiculously over-praised by people who seem to be re-reviewing her last film, not studying the tedious travesty that’s in front of them here.
It is her second celebration of American determination and persistence in the war on terror. Like the hero of the previous film, CIA operative Maya (Jessica Chastain) has one thing on her mind: not to dispose of bombs this time, but to track down and assassinate Osama bin Laden.
Where the previous film was a character study of a man grappling with his demons, Maya is pretty much a blank canvas, certainly not a living, multi-faceted character like Claire Danes’s equally driven CIA agent in TV’s Homeland.

AG - Chris Tookey has been doing this for years: he is notoriously well-known in the UK for not liking pretty much everything! It's almost become his trademark now, so Im not surprised at this review...

 

Watched it last night.
But really overrated IMO. That is, in light of its nominations for Best Picture / Actress / Screenplay? :scratcher:

The first-third of the movie focusses on CIA-torture, the scenes are pretty much 'seen-it-before' (e.e. waterboarding in 'Safe House')

The it shifts onto the amount of searching and red-tape requred to finally get a fix on OBL and it ends with what we all know what happened anyway.

I give it a solid **********

 

is this movie actually good?

it's about a really uninteresting series of events

 

Well, might not be interesting, but certainly relative and significant turning point in the fight against al-Qaedea / related groups / terrorism?

 

so it turns out i heard right?

 

Re-post. This doens't make any sense.

 

:up:

 

::

Something like that!

 

an incredibly boring movie

:scratcher: so so boring

 

I could've made a much better movie than this. I'd have just done 1.25 hours of the seals flying in, going into Osama's compound and killing him and then taking his body out to sea and burying him with the american flag raising in the end with all the families of 9/11 victims cheering and the anthem playing during the closing credits. American audiences would've loved that stuff. Best Picture material right there.

 

I've watched more boring movies than this though...'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' for example, I was yawning after 30 mins and switched off after 45...

 

how so?
Bin Laden never actually claimed responsibility for 9/11, he was just a figure for rednecks to get angry at and support wars

who who ever gave a fuck? (apart from rednecks who were duped)

the movie is basically propaganda.....but very very boring, it's about watching people push paper

 

the movie isn't even factual ::

'Argo' tops this movie.

 

Not by much.

Argo is actually the movie I thought this one resembled so much. In it's failings that is. This movie was very boring and very long. Magus claims this was better than Dragon Tattoo but I disagree. Dragon Tattoo had great pacing, flow and dialogue. This film had none of that. It really felt like the director didn't know how to tell this story in an entertaining way and about the mid way point I actually had visions of the director watching the precut version of his film and flinging his pen down in frustration. I wondered did he walk out on his own film? Did he feel it was as boring as the rest of the world did? How the fuck can you have a drama of this type and never have any decent conversation throughout?

5/10 with zero replay value. There is quite simply no reason to ever watch this film again.

Quick note, I watched a done on the cheap National Geographic movie about this a couple months prior and I actually think it was better.
