Watching Road to Perdition...
 
Jude Law is awesome. The kid is pretty amazing as well. Hanks shmanks.

Wasnt to impressed with this bought it on dvd not bad but i think the critics went overboard about it.

eyeronic 04-19-2003 09:51 AM

I think you're right. I'm having trouble watching it and not just posting. Amazing cast and great acting, but slow.

Porkchop 04-19-2003 09:56 AM

Law is good in it he is also one of the highlights in spielburgs A.I.

eyeronic 04-19-2003 10:33 AM

Didn't see AI.
 
I thought RtoP was pretty damn good. Nice tone. I finished and am scanning back through.

I too thought this movie was pretty good. It has a better plot then much of the drivel released today and a good cast. Overall, 8/10.

RTP is an astounding movie, I was so glad to see that it won an Oscar for best Cinematography.

If you were interested in the mythos, you should check out the new graphic novels being released about the Sullivans while they're on the run robbing banks.

I thought the movie dragged on a lot, but maybe that was because I watched it so late at night. I have to agree that the plot and characters were pulled off nicely.

the beautiful thing about this movie was that it was an action movie with REALISTIC PHYSICS!!!!


i don't know why that got me excited, but it did.

wakelagger 04-19-2003 07:20 PM

The soundtrack for that movie is very fitting too..

guthmund 04-19-2003 08:28 PM

Jude Law was the only thing good about A.I.

Road to Perdition was pretty good. I just hated the soundtrack. Every other scene I noticed the odd plinking and finally it over rode the rest of the movie. I know the whole movie was a one giant drama, but please lay off the uber-dramatic movie music in every scene or at least play it softly to blend into the scene rather than shadow it.


Other than that very pleasing movie. :)

All of you who enjoyed the movie should check out the manga and movies the graphic novel is based on - 'Lone Wolf and Cub'.

Saw it recently, quite a good movie. The ending was easily predicted though.

Reese 04-20-2003 01:00 AM

Good movie but Over rated.

It was also very predicable and the ending wasn't dramatic enough.

Not A Tame Lion 04-20-2003 09:57 AM

I really enjoyed it! Compared to what one usually gets for his 8 bucks, this was a welcome change for me!

Pham 04-20-2003 11:38 AM

I don't like road to perdition much.. Jude Law is good tho.. he is great in Gattaca, a great movie btw..

dragonhawk 04-21-2003 10:09 AM

I thought it was okay. Way to slow. Glad I only rented it...

zfleebin 04-21-2003 05:22 PM

it was bad ass I was really drunk though

K-Billy 04-21-2003 06:56 PM

It could have been a lot better. Still, not bad.

TheDave87 04-22-2003 08:48 PM

I thought it was great. Crime stories from that era have always fascinated me, and this one was no exception. It may have been slow, but somehow the pace seemed fitting to the story for me. Hanks wasnt in top form but i agree that the kid and law were awesome in it.

JoeyB 04-23-2003 10:19 AM

It was a solid movie which didn't rely on massive explosions to get across drama. Tom Hanks is always solid and Jude Law was very impressive.

It may not be the greatest movie ever, but it's worth the 2 hours.

UyEnHeAd 04-23-2003 11:40 AM

great flick, the acting was awesome but the cinematography made the film

dangermouse 04-23-2003 01:05 PM

The best cure for insomnia I've ever seen.....

TaLoN 04-23-2003 01:20 PM

this is one of the first movies where tom hanks character didn't "wear his feelings on his sleeve". In this movie his character is much deeper. I don't agree with using a title that gives away the ending like this one does but then again i can't really think of a title that would fit. Overall i liked the movie as i am a big fan of the mafia and it was pure satisfaction watching hanks mow down those gangsters.

zf0enix 04-23-2003 01:27 PM

It was interesting, but not that great for me. Jude Law was sinister, which was cool.

Hanks was kinda tough to pass as a overweight thug and the ending was as expected. Overall, a decent flick, worth the $3 at blockbuster but not much more.
