Movies

major spoils

Posted by: RogerMore on Mar 02, 10:18 in response to Willroast's post Gone Girl was a very pleasant surprise. It's easy to want...

This held me back from giving it an A - he wasn't unlikeable enough.  In the book, you're not supposed to like him - you're supposed to suspect he has murdered his loving wife.

Perhaps it is because I knew how things would turn out - but I thought Affleck was too every-man and that Pike was too cold (even in flashbacks) to be the charming, adoring perfect wife of his dreams.

But I get that movies aren't like books and choices have to be made, etc.

Theory of Everything - B-, Gone Girl - B+ {nm} RogerMore Mar 02, 09:41

Gone Girl was a very pleasant surprise. It's easy to want to dislike Afleck, but hard considering what he does. {nm} Willroast Mar 02, 09:50

Don't get me wrong, I liked it, though hardly Fincher's best (not even his top 3) {nm} ~JPV~ Mar 02, 19:08

If you're remaking to the "Earth Stood Still" remake. Yeah, it was pretty bad (the original is classic) {nm} VictorY Mar 02, 09:47

It was completely different, more refined, more mature. Great characters, but I like all 3 films. Drew and Adam are great together! {nm} pennystocks2 Mar 02, 16:18

Just so you know tealfan, I am obviously a fan of this feature, huge. I don't respond because I watch mostly non-new movies. {nm} Willroast Mar 02, 14:08

Just back from Chappie, massive pre-screening (in rock concert venue; big audio). B+ (I notice 4.3/5 avg. user rating on Imdb.) {nm} Facto Mar 02, 14:43
