again, starts off promising enough - thought it was gonna be a futuristic espionage piece later downgrades into a "save the VIP from deranged psychos" flick the first 10 minutes also have some pretty neat visuals, but after that, just lock, stock, barrel any 2000s sci-fi movie 2/10 |

Thor Well this movie was a hell of lot better than I had been lead to believe. It's not the greatest movie of all time or anything but I'd say it was on par with Iron Man and Captain America and better than the last Hulk movie. |

The Thin Red Line Fantastic movie as far as cinematography, acting, and emotional power go, but like many reviewers have commented, it's a bit unfocused and not entirely sure what it wants to be. About 5/6 of the way in there's a really long set of dialogue that feels like closure, and then a whole new fighting scene comes in afterwards. I would have cut some of that dialogue to make the movie drag less and feel more focused. Overall, I was quite impressed. This movie is basically The Tree Of Life set in the pacific theater (or rather The Tree Of Life is this movie set in 1950's America), and I love both war movies and The Tree Of Life, so this was a treat. 8.5/10

A Thin Red Line was amazing and unfortunately over shadowed by the other rather good WW2 film that came out that year
finally! so i finally found a decent copy of this that was not a cam and not in german....what was funny was the comments on the torrent page....all of them rated the video and audio at top....but almost everybody was saying the film itself was horrible....all i could think was "did you not know you were going to watch a movie about a space nazi invasion from the dark side of the moon?" needless to say.....they were all WRONG to my surprise the movie is actually very well done and with a much higher budget than i expect.....the visuals in the film itself were as good as any big budget blockbuster and the plot (as hilarious as it is) was actually really good with tons of subtle jokes in it.....just yesterday the film finally picked up USA distribution and will be opening in theaters in select cities (not mine i'm sure) and has actually already sold out screenings! if you can dig on some well made b-movie fun i highly suggest this masterpiece.....and lets face it....watching nazi's getting their buts kicked is always fun...they make such great bad guys |

This movie was a lot of fun. I picked it out randomly at the movie store because I was in the mood for a vampire flick and this was very satisfying. Colin Farrell makes an awesome vampire by the way. 8/10

Because the Horror movies from Europe and the far east are far better than what mainstream America spews forth so to compensate they remake everything pre 1990 in the hope that they can claw back some credibility.
It hasn't worked.
