Seriously though you didn't like the movie? I thought it was awesome wanted to watch it again right after I finished it.
It was a beautiful looking movie for sure, but the story was a mess. There were many nice moments, but as a whole it was kind of silly and failed to be poignant as they obviously intended. I felt very much like I did after watching the latter 2 Matrix movies. Visually dazzled, but ultimately disappointed.
Hmm I can see where you're coming from for sure. I was really drawn in to the movie but was taking breaks throughout. I do think it would have been much better off as a mini series rather then a movie but then again it probably wouldn't have had near as good of a cast.

He is way harsher than I am, and if I had my own review site it would include my "real reviews" which I don't post here. Reading my written reviews would be as fun as watching paint dry.

Actually it would be more like painting, as sometimes they seem like a chore to read (especially if I don't get a private screening because then I have to include start time, actual start time, # in attendance, break down of audience, trailers included, etc.). It's much more fun to come here and give quick and blunt reviews.

But I did enjoy reading some of the guy's reviews, so thanks for the link.


So... I think we all know Capcom remastered Duck Tales, yes? I highly doubt the reboot is ending there. I'm not promising a Duck Tales movie is in the works, but I'm not denying it either.

Maybe you should post one of them here one of these days just for kicks. I'm kinda curious.

I can do that. The review will be heavily edited due to privacy issues, but the next theatrical release review I write I'll post. Expect heavy nonsense like:

Date and time of viewing: Blah blah

Theater:

Theater and Location: Blah Blah
Movies Available at Box Offcie:Blah blah
Show Times: Blah Blah
Other theaters in Vicinity: Blah Blah
Movies available at competing Theaters: Blah blah
Show times at competing Theaters: Blah blah

Audience:

Number in attendance:
Audience Demo Break Down:
Time of last entrance:
Time of last exit:
Audience Participation and Reactions:
.......



and it goes on for a while before the actual review takes place.

Big time pain in the rear, and it can make enjoying a movie somewhat of a challenge. But screw it, I feel lucky and privileged that my opinion is valued.

Boring as hell those reviews are.

That's awesome to hear, man. That's exactly what I was hoping for. Ya know, back when they were making the first DuckTales movie, they had plans for a second one, so I'm really hoping they'll dust that off and finally produce it. It would also be really cool if they finally made the Rescue Rangers movie they'd planned on.
I'm not a glitch, I just have pixlexia.

Do they let you write while the movie is going? Last one of those I did I ended up writing most of it before I left the movie since it was so predictable.

Always. Another reason detailed reviews are a pain; I'm sure I'm distracting others.
