Just came from seeing it - excellent. Makes me want to read the books again.
I’m happy to see a chart-topping book/movie about the dangers of big government and tyranny. I hope people think about its meaning and not just how hot their favorite character looked.
They hype fooled me with the first movie , a real snooze fest. I won’t get fooled again( apologies to The Who)
My wife and I rarely watch modern movies even though we have multiple premium movie channels. We did however watch “Hitchcock” with Anthony Hopkins the other night. It was very good. No foul language, no nudity, no gunfights, no car chases, no explosions, and most important of all...no zombies.
Jennifer Lawrence is a good actress and seems like a decent person. She is a shining, clean standout in the muck that is Hollywood.
That is one helluva conservative movie. I got very upset when watching that because I have a young kid and I know that is his future.
I thought the first movie was good, so I’ll probably go see this one given the positive reviews (Rottentomatoes has it at 89% fresh). The best movie I’ve seen this year so far is ‘Rush’ but I’m looking forward to several upcoming films, especially the Coen Bros. ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’.
I only ask because the only people I know who have read the books have been women. If they are good for men too, I might throw them on my Kindle to read later.
My 14 year old Daughter went on and on about how good the first movie was...
I watched it with her and DIDN’T get it...
It seemed to me they didn’t do enough to build the characters in the movie.
She told me “the book did”.
I reminded her Jaws was a book I didn’t read before I saw the movie and I understood Quint.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a book I didn’t read and I understood in the movie why he would build a model in his living room.
So needless to say I am not going to go see the sequel but eh to each his own.
Have you seen this?
