Minority Report

Ghoulish Delight · 06-20-2008, 02:06 PM

To stop the derail.

To be perfectly honest, I hated the movie so much that I can't even recall even a fraction of what I hated about it. All I really remember is that about 1/3 of the way in, CP and I both naturally turned to each other and gave the mutual, "Is it just me or is this utter crap?" look.

I'm looking around at reviews, and it's refreshing my memory some. There are, of course, the plot holes, but my disdain for the movie began long before the plot got far enough to have any holes. I abhored the entire style of the movie. Gimmicky technology, cheeseball editing, bizarro establishing shots with idiotic slapstick bits seen through windows.

And then there's the jetpack cooking a burger scene. W....T....F?!?!

I'm well aware I'm in the minority, but I don't really care. It was a painful viewing experience that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

I hated it too. Like with most movies I hate, I don't care to remember enough about it to talk about why I hated it.

My new goal is to agree with you as much as possible.

A worthy goal that all should aspire to.

Let me rephrase.

For rhetorical purposes of bringing GD pain, I will pretend to agree with GD as often as possible.

I will jump into the fray and be contrary.

I do remember two scenes. One involved an eyeball and one involved a billboard that spoke directly to you and knew your life/purchase history/etc.

But I can't be contrary about the quality. I hated it.

Unfortunately, I see this in the not too distant future.

It has its own thread now, GD? GD! Well, now I guess I'll have to see it.
