This is a strange time to release this movie, since it seems like big-budget Oscar bait in the vein of The Departed.

YES

Man I want to see this movie, I'm so glad it's getting good reviews. Jake Gyllenhall is the effing man.

What i'm more surprised about is the pretty low reviews for Black Snake Moan.

I'm excited for it.....but you should never trust early RT ratings.

Norbit had a 70% for awhile.

i never go by rt's ratings anyway...they take in every critic and just average it out...metacritic actually has a lot more that goes into their overall ratings.

I like to look at Yahoo Movies to suggest for me. I do not always listen but they give an average of critics and then they have it where users vote on it as well. Then they have a section where you can rate movies that you have seen and they suggest if you would like the movie based on your rankings

Awesome. I have been interested in this movie since I first heard about it.

I got to see this at a screening last week and it was really fantastic. It is a strange release date, though, given how strong the film is and many of its performaces (Robert Downey, Jr is fantastic as usual, Jake Gyllenhall is good, but nothing amazing, honestly). Definitely check it out.

I liked Robert Downey Jr. in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but overall I didn't really like that movie. I wanted to, but I didn't.

it was pushed back from an oscar release date to march, which made me think it must suck, but i guess not.

RottenTomatoes has 5 reviews on it and all positive so far. I was really interested in watching this movie before the reviews came in so this is just a bonus

reviews are solid.

i am glad they are marketing the movie "From the director of Se7en and Panic Room". Panic Room doesnt get enough respect and since it's Fincher, I would have figured they would push Fight Club but they aren't.

Ruffalo is awesome too. I love the cast and I love Fincher.

Can't wait to see this one. I heard its like three hours too.

I really did not like Panic Room. Like at all.

i liked panic room more than most people, but the guy is most known for se7en and fight club. that's how they should advertise it, it would definitely get a lot more people who didn't know much about it more interested.

i don't mind gyllenhall.

i've only seen him in moonlight mile, the good girl and donnie darko, so i haven't seen a lot of his stuff. but i haven't hated him in what i've seen.

Word.

and Gyllenhaal is awesome too. Loved him in Brokeback Mountain and Jarhead. I've liked him in everything he has done, actually.

I even have a spot for Bubble Boy in my heart. No joke.

TJ Wells
02/26/07, 01:15 PM
ah jarhead, forgot about that.

so he's MOSTLY made great movies.

Look what he made AFTER Bubble Boy... sigh.

Moonlight Mile was a good one too. He was fine in that.

well there is 1 negative review now but if you actually read it, it doesn't seem to be negative at all. He just thinks the movie is a bit too long.

I hate it when the reviews are different than the rating given. If your rating and review are going to be completely independent of each other for some reason (as is the case with the one you're talking about) don't even bother with a star rating. The written review is what's important.

it did at the bottom have a 2 1/2 out of 4...unless we're looking at different reviews. are you looking @ the one negative one from rotten tomatoes?

I've been waiting for this movie since I first heard about it. The Zodiac Killer was always an interesting topic to me.
