This movie absolutely sucks!

END SPOILERS

Unreal..absolutely unreal.

$15 Million budget, which has already been made back overseas.  I can't foresee more than a $15 Million BO here at the NABO.

Mind numbingly dull and completely uneventful.  Dialogue that thinks it's really smart and hip, but in reality is annoying as all fuck.

I've literally never walked out of a movie before...never really even considered it.  I considered it here...often.  I stuck it out, but in hindsight, wish i had left as literally nothing of any importance occurred.

All you theme lovers, go line up to see this...please.  You'll just love how they have a backdrop of Obama and Bush hashing out the 2008 election - oh wait...I mean McCain and Obama with Bush also spouting some mumbo jumbo about the state of America.  BULLSHIT!

You know...seriously...in all seriousness...how and why was this made into a movie?  Why did Andrew Dominik ever write it?  Why didn't someone...anyone say, this is really dull and uneventful?  You know how you read crappy scripts with scenes that have absolutely no reason to be in them?  Check this fucker out - it's jam packed with them.

I honestly can't put into words what a complete waste this was on every level imaginable.  I really can't.

Talk about something with ZERO repeat viewing qualities, and this turd should hog the conversation.

Maybe Brad Pitt and Andrew Dominik have some secret relationship going on.  I don't know why else he'd sign up here.  Oh My God, this thing sucks the high hard one.

Shockingly, the theater was packed for a 10:00 AM showing, but you know what?  When this ended - very abruptly, I may add, the theater was silent at first...then the groans started up.  I exited as quickly as I could, because I was insanely angry that crap like this can be made.

Rotten Tomatoes somehow has this at like 70% approval.  Huh?  For reals?  WTF?  Maybe the critics who reviewed this favorably also have some strange relationship going on with Andrew Dominik.

I'll leave you with this.  I'll never, ever set foot in a theater again if I see Andrew Dominik's name associated with a movie.

Pure shit, shat out of a dead dog's ass.  Unwatchable almost for me.  TERRIBLE!!!!

I just read a really positive review of it in the Boston Globe.

Means nothing. People obviously really differing on this one. I have heard Pitt mentioned as Oscar candidate here.

Oscar-worthy?  Unreal.

There's nothing wrong with Pitt's performance, understanding that he had to work with what he was given, but if he's up for an Oscar here, then what little faith I still have in the Academy will be gone forever.

This is pretty easily the dullest, slowest, most plodding movie I've ever sat through...and that's actually saying quite a bit.

This thing is pure shite, hardened in the AZ sun for 2 weeks, then put in a blender with all the rain water collected in those 2 weeks in AZ...and guess what you have?  The same piece of dried up shite you had to begin with.

So...you're saying you liked it then?

Well played.

I'd honestly prefer to watch a turtle walk 100 yards in an empty grassy knoll.

I will check this out...

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is one of my favorites.

By the way, I'm pretty sure Brad Pitt's company made this, so that explains his presence.

I loved this film, thought it was the best I've seen in quite awhile.  Opening sequence hooked me and then the early-Tarantino dialogue kicked in, and I was totally drawn in.  Thought the cinematography was great, dialogue, characters and acting were all fantastic and the action was executed well.

I also didn't think it was boring at all.  The movie really relies on talking heads, but the dialogue and acting were so magnificent I didn't care.  I admit that the grittier scenes in the ghettos has more strength and appeal than the James Gandolfini scenes in bars and hotels, but James Gandolfini had an excellent character.

As for the politics, that's really what this movie is about.  The whole thing strikes me as a metaphor for the economy crisis of 2008, but represented on a street-noir level.  And when I say "strikes me", I mean with a sledgehammer, because the politics in this movie are pretty heavy-handed.  After almost every scene there's some radio broadcast of McCain or Obama talking, and they always explain what we're supposed to be seeing: the political metaphor.

It does end abruptly, but I kinda like it that way.  The movie was lean, only around an hour and a half, and I think Dominick really considered the perfect length for this movie.  Apparently the first cut was two and a half hours, imagine that.

The end is also the most indulgent part of the movie (literally a political rant from Brad Pitt).  So I didn't really dig that, but the last line is fantastic.

Overall, I loved it.  Even if you don't like the politics, you can still appreciate is as some well-made hard-boiled fiction.

Seems the crowds agree with Jeff's assessment, as this movie scored the dreaded F on cinemascore.  It also flopped pretty badly at the box office.

That's good to see.  Thank you, Ryan.

This thing deserved an F all the way.

I am utterly shocked Gage gloated over this and said he actually loved it.  I honestly don't see how that's possible.

A buddy of mine also saw this Friday and he did literally walk out after an hour and 15 minutes.

A true stinker in all regards.

I haven't seen it for myself, but it figures that fucking Owen Gleibermann gave it a 100 on Metacritic. I can't stand that guy and his stupid smug smile.

Quoted from Dreamscale A true stinker in all regards.

You see, I just don't get this.  Surely there was something redeemable for you in it.  Could you elaborate?  Didn't you think that the acting was at least above average?  How about the cinematography?

Is it the lack of drive that the plot had that turned you off?  I agree that the plot was lax at points, but to be honest, this was a character-driven movie.

Gage, it was shockingly slow, dull, and had zero payoff.  The dialogue itself was irritating and annoying and not nearly as "smart" as it thought it was.

Every single second Gandolfini was onscreen, it was for absolutely no reason, as he did nothing and made no difference being in the story.

Just because a dish has lobster in it, doesn't mean it's necessarily good.  This dish shouldn't even be fed to starving homeless folk.

I loved this movie. I understand why audiences are not enjoying it, but I love it.

Pitt's monologue at the end wrapped everything up in a bow at the end.

People act like a community to get what the want, but in the end, it's every man for himself.

Felipe, do you also love watching flat white paint dry in empty rooms?

Whenever I hear that someone "loves" a movie, I try and figure out why.  I can't here at all.  There is nothing to love.

I honestly think fanboys of whatever or whoever get caught up in hype and critical praise.

This Andrew Dominik hack n ow has 2 major fails under his belt, both with Brad Pitt, and both Brad's worst box offices since he became a star.

What a crock...
