Your opinion, please.

Don't hold back.

(I want to know your opinion, so I won't inject mine)





Promise...

[skygazer]

1. Stupid title

Never saw it.

[Xipe Totec]

3. Okay, that's honest

thanks!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Weird.

But not in a good way.

[Xipe Totec]

4. I can definitely see that.

[RadiationTherapy]

5. Awesome. I loved it.

I am a bit partial to disfigured beauty, though.

[Xipe Totec]

6. Physically, or psychologically?

Both are present in this movie.

[RadiationTherapy]

11. Definitely both.

And I like disfigured (rather than malformed) because it seems more indicative of the temporary nature of beauty or something that had to survive or live through a thing.

We are all such gossamer, fragile glass moving through a stone and ripping world; and I have been drinking.

[Xipe Totec]

15. What do you think of Saul Tigh?

changing background, but not subject?

[RadiationTherapy]

21. No idea who that is, but you have given me something to think on. nt

[Xipe Totec]

23. You're in for a real treat

Saul Tigh is the most psychologically flawed character in the "Battle Star Galactica" series.

A Cylon (cyborg) who, paradoxically, is the most humanly flawed character in the series.

[Taverner]

7. Stupid movie. See the Spanish Version, "Abra Los Ojos" instead

[Xipe Totec]

12. Abre Los Ojos nt

Imperative familiar.

[Taverner]

14. Yeah yeah - I need a reintroduction to the Spanish tenses

The hardest part of Espanol

[Xipe Totec]

16. Español

I kid, I kid!

:rofl:

[ghostsofgiants]

13. I couldn't get into Abre Los Ojos for some reason.

And it's not because I'm not used to watching foreign films.

[MrCoffee]

34. Agreed

:thumbsup:

[ForrestGump]

8. Weird. Cameron Crowe's LSD trip.

Some good, some bad. All weird.

Kurt Russell's always cool, though. So was Jason Lee.

[Xipe Totec]

19. I liked the acting

Kurt Russell did a great job.

[ghostsofgiants]

33. Jason Lee was great.

Love that guy.

[alphafemale]

9. I liked "Abre Los Ojos/Open Your Eyes"

That's the original Spanish version.

I can't bear to watch Tom Cruise in much of anything.

[Xipe Totec]

17. That's a common reaction

unfortunate that Tom went off the deep end, I agree.

[alphafemale]

22. That and....wasn't he about 15 years too old for the role?

The ick factor would overwhelm me.

[Xipe Totec]

24. 11

He's only 11 years older than Cameron Diaz.

12 years older than Penelope.


But that's not really the source of the ick factor, is it....


Just fact checking.

[regnaD kciN]

31. I actually liked both...

...but thought the original was better.

[ghostsofgiants]

10. I really enjoyed it.

It's by no means a masterpiece, but it's a pretty enjoyable flick.

[Xipe Totec]

18. Is it oversold, intellectually?

or is it deeper than it seems at first glance?

[ghostsofgiants]

20. Probably a little oversold.

But it's neat nevertheless.

[arcadian]

38. I'm going to agree.

I liked it, it ain't great. It's a sci-fi movie with no light boards and laserblasters.

[Release The Hounds]

25. Absolutley horrible

[doc03]

26. Tom Cruise was in it I don't watch his movies he

is overrated.

[Swede]

27. I liked it a lot.

It was sad movie.

[crimsonblue]

28. Penelope's boobs

YAY!!!

[Xipe Totec]

36. Tom Cruise and Jason Lee?

:evilgrin:

[ChazII]

29. My son was consistantly

told to, "Take of the mask" so that one scene really got to me. The character had choices to make and DID NOT have to be a bitter person. I know thre facially different people (1 being my son) who have been called worse names, treated far more unfairly and unkindly than the character the Cruise plays in the film. Not one of them are the prick the character is in the film.

The topic hits too close to home so I can't give an unbias opinion.

[ghostsofgiants]

35. I think that's the point of the film. *SPOILER*

He was a prick, and it takes his lucid nightmare, so to speak, to make him realize this and so he decides to re-enter life with this newfound perspective at the end.

[ChazII]

37. It is sad then

there are people that incredibly stupid. While my son was disfigured from birth, my two other friends had normal/symmetrical faces until NF2 left them looking like Cruise in the film. Incredibly sad that even those around him, the public that is in the film are just as much a prick as he is.

[IcyPeas]

30. sigur ros is great. (soundtrack)

[ghostsofgiants]

32. Spiritualized and Radiohead, too.

Some good tuneson the soundtrack.

[Jade Fox]

39. The soundtrack overwhelmed the movie. n/t

[Blue_Tires]

40. liked it

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

41. I loved Cameron Diaz's role

But I'm no fan of Tom Cruise and I had no idea WTF Penelope Cruz was saying the whole time.

It's one of those movies that tries to impress you with some brilliant "twist" ending that's supposed to blow your mind......and you just go....."Huh......that's it?"

Brilliant use of The Monkees' lost classic "Porpoise Song", though.

[Xipe Totec]

42. Saddest girl ever to hold a martini

I had one yesterday, just to commemorate that line...
