National treasure is good, better than I thought it would be. Its fast moving, lots of action and just soooooooo fun to watch.However critics said it was rubbish.Which it is not.
My next film im looking forward to is Alexander. I know critics say its disapointing but critics are too harsh these days.They said King Arthur and Troy werent very good and they even said National Treasure wasn't very good.
But guess what I thought they were all very good films and I guess that is my opinion! and everyone is entitled to an opinion. I think that Critics when it comes to films like these expect all films to reach LOTR standard. But lets face it very few films will.
Do you agree?

I love Punchdrunk Love, yet found Lost in Translation to be the equivalent of listening to a really boring mumu-wearing lesbian talk about plants for 2hrs. Hated it with a passion and will punch Bill Murray in his hangdog face next time I see him for stealing precious moments of my life.
But Paul Thomas Anderson, for me, can do no wrong.

Ugh. I went to see that at the cinema. What a mistake, it's... Terrible. One of the few films I truly wouldn't see again if I had any form of choice.

they will say any thing critics
Mm, the whole thing is a little "Emperors new clothes" isn't it? As I said, I thought that it looked very good, and the atmosphere was spot on. It's just that the film was a turgid piece of chiffon-coated cr@p.
A friend of mine told me that I didn't enjoy it because I didn't get it.
But then a little while later she said that she was a movie buff because she subscribed to Empire and went to the cinema once a week....

Bandied around by movie snobs, and the slightest critisism will get you a sneered "Ohh, you just don't understand it, it was a beautiful movie" as they wallow in an increasingly self righteous air and make you out to be of below average intelligence.
Yeah. I "got" it. I "understood" it. I simply thought it was utter and borderline offensive dirge.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought Lost in Translation was a load of rubbish.

See, I liked both. They're both fairly gentle comedies, and I know you like more confrontational brands of humour. I think you have a point though; you have to be in the mood for that sort of film.

Mm, I prefer Takeshi's Castle to Lost in Translation...
I liked the general feel of the film, but it's a shame she forgot to bother with a decent script.

Not "About Schmidt"? ;P
But no, I didn't enhjoy it at all either. Same with "Punch Drunk Love", one of the only movies I had to turn off half way through. I usually enjoy these types of movie, but I just wasn't in the mood I guess. I'll not be going back to either one of them.
"Punch Drunk Love" screamed at me that only movie snobs should like it. You know the type, the ones that thought "Lost in Translation" was something other than 2 hours of tedium, looking out of windows and "lets laugh at the Japanese, aren't they kooky and weird". Damn, at least Clive James, when he covered "Endurance" at least made the effort to look as if he was laughing with, and not at. Probably wrong though. :)

I want those two hours back from my life. It goes NOWHERE and does NOTHING. Mabye it's supposed to be a wake up to 9 to 5 suburban deadheads or something.
