dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Most of Del-Toro's films are the same Eh? Character wise he brings them to the big screen as if he was pulling them straight out of a comic book Vivid colors but no depth I did not go in expecting oscar winning performances but it was completely adequate for this type of movie it had emotion when it was needed On this movie (Pacific Rim) I would agree. Definitely his weakest movie character wise (who needs characters when you have great big monsters fighting with giant robots right?) but on pretty much everything else he's done I would say he has a very keen eye for characterisation. Whilst I very much like a lot of his work I do understand the point to a degree. There is a certain gloss to all of his movie making that can, at times, detract from the characterisation aspect somewhat. It's not something I've a particular gripe with as he has made a couple of my favourite films, but in retrospect I can see why some might not be able to see past that gloss.

donnie Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Road to perdition - 10 out of 10. Easily one of the greatest films of the 21st century and arguably the most overlooked also. I know sometimes people are not keen on tom hanks but he is perfect in this. Love love love the ending and the beautiful soundtrack.

Can't wait. McQueen is a great director. Edited July 19, 2013 by CarewsEyebrowDesigner 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masterpiece I watched that again last week for the first time since seeing it at the cinema, and completely agree it's a brilliant piece of work.

VillaForever1970 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Excellent, highly enjoyable well written and very funny. Probably not as good as Shaun and Fuzz, down to the fact the characters are not as likeable, but still up there. "What the **** does W.T.F stand for!"

theboyangel Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Have got Maniac and Warm Bodies to watch this weekend. Have no great expectations for either! Is 'Only God Forgives' the next one from Gosling and the Drive director? looked pretty good in a minimal way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait. McQueen is a great director. That trailer is chilling. That said, if I watch it, it will be my third slavery-themed movie of the year (first two being, of course, Lincoln and Django Unchained). All of a sudden, slavery seems to have become one of Hollywood's favourite themes. I wonder why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting predominantly poor reviews, which is a shame as I had high hopes. Just finished it. Hmmm... it's okay. No where near the standard of Drive. There's not really a lot to it... could have been a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The internet is having a collective orgasm/heart attack at the minute. Snyder to direct a Batman/Superman film based on 'The Dark Knight Returns'. Many questions need answering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
