Children of Men[views:4330][posts:29]____________________________________________ [Apr 10,2007 11:40am - FuckIsMySignature ""] Thought this would be a cool post-apocalypse movie but it was just awful. Don't waste your time or money on this garbage. Acting was terrible (despite the fact that I usually like Clive Owen's work) and the story line jumped around without explaining enough of the plot direction to keep any interest. Two thumbs way down. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 10,2007 11:45am - Granny_Monster ""] ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I saw this in California and fucking LOVED it! |
| ________________________________ [Apr 10,2007 11:46am - dftg ""] I thought it was excellent. The battle scenes were some of the best I've seen. |
| ____________________________________________ [Apr 10,2007 11:49am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i turned it off halfway through cause i couldnt stand it... maybe its just because of the british dialect. maybe i'll try watching it again with subtitles. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 10,2007 11:50am - ZenErik ""] I thought this movie was excellent. You can't give a review on a movie without even watching the whole thing. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 10,2007 11:51am - Granny_Monster ""] This is one of the best movies I've seen in ages. Definitely a new favorite, I've seen it a couple of times now. |
| ____________________________________________ [Apr 10,2007 11:52am - FuckIsMySignature ""] fine, i'll take it out again see what all the hubbub is about... |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 10,2007 12:08pm - powerkok ""] 3 of my friends have also raved about this. I too must check out the hubbub, bub. |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 10,2007 12:51pm - Nuclear Winter ""] The movie was pretty good, but I'd rather be watching Road Warrior. |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 10,2007 12:54pm - y_ddraig_goch ""] One of my new favorites. |

Two thumbs way down. as long as you dont have add, the story line was very easy to follow, I actually thought the movie was going to be more complicated than it was. I liked it anyway. |

I liked it anyway. i watching it with my parents and they were talking through the whole thing and bitching about how they couldnt understand the british accents... but like i said i'm gonna watch it again on my own after seeing such a huge influx of positive reviews on here. from what i watched though... i wasnt impressed. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 19,2007 2:30pm - mcmahon ""] ehhhh, pretty much a waste of time. caction sequences and camera angles were good though. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 19,2007 2:36pm - jonnyc ""] dont believe the hype. Def sucks |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 19,2007 2:52pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i'm glad i didnt re-rent it for further dissapointment |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 19,2007 3:26pm - ariavette ""] I started watching it but fell asleep. I hear the ending makes it worth watching.. but I haven't seen it yet so I can't really say |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 19,2007 4:05pm - SlavonicIdentity ""] Hm, I just watched it. Good movie, but I thought the ending sucked. |

Definitely a new favorite, I've seen it a couple of times now. agreed, the way they shot the movie was amazing. the last 20 minutes of the movie is one of the best scenes i have ever seen. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 19,2007 6:21pm - y_ddraig_goch ""] the whole prison camp scene was definitely one of the best I have seen in a long time. It chilled me. |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 19,2007 9:15pm - VoidExpression ""] It's definitely more impressive from a technical standpoint. The fact that the car scene in the forest and the battle scene are basically one take each is staggering. I know they had to use a tricked out, modified car to pull off the first one, and hopefully there will be some cool footage on the DVD. The plot (it's explained sufficiently, but it's thin to the point of non-existence, but Cuaron has never been one to tell a complete story) and acting is pretty rough, though, and Juliane Moore gives one of her worst performances (and that is saying a lot) |
| ____________________________________________________ [Apr 20,2007 8:58am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] This movie had some kickass war scenes. That's all I'll say. |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 20,2007 9:00am - FuckIsMySignature ""] julianne moore looked beyond haggard in this movie...luckily she was shot shortly after the start of the movie. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Apr 20,2007 9:10am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] That was the hottest part. |
| ________________________________ [May 12,2007 12:11pm - jesus ""] this movie was fucking awsome, the camp scene is incredible |
| _______________________________________ [May 12,2007 1:17pm - Y_Ddraig_Goch ""] Agreed, the refugee camp scene was one of the best ending scenes I've seen in a while. |
| __________________________________ [May 12,2007 1:44pm - succubus ""] it reminded me of the game: fall resistance of man (one of the last scenes) i watched it yesterday with my 2 nieces |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2010 12:06pm - arktouros ""] I fucking love this movie. |
