On the Record  Posts: 6193 Joined: 7 Feb 2008    | I've been super jazzed about this one since I first saw the trailers. I was wondering what the hell kind of movie this could possibly be. With about a million glowing reviews under it's belt calling it the best Thoughtful, Action Packed Sci-Fi since "Children of Men" (one of my all time favorite films) I don't think I'll be able to resist. I still think Moviebob was a bit of an asshead on Star Trek, since you know, it's based on the original series which was Campy, Silly and more than a little bit Dumb. |
Paperboy  Posts: 40 Joined: 22 Jul 2009    | Good one Bob, you've definitely made me curious. But 10/10? Not that i don't believe you, but what will top this? |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3229 Joined: 10 Mar 2009    | All right I'm going to to see this now. I also think it was a smart move to drop the Halo movie and focus on District Nine. |
Paperboy  Posts: 31 Joined: 15 Jan 2009     | The hell Halo Is a great storyline I'm sorry if you can think for more then the 3 hours of a movie to enjoy something thats complexity driven, last stand action, and has more undertones then teenage angst. How about steven Spielberg LOVING the halo movie idea you think that guy doesn't know a good movie when he sees one? Edit: other then that though good review totally agree with you on that sci fi argument. its targeted twords dushbages what can we expect if idiots love something? I saw it last night and it really was as good as this guy says. |
On the Record  Posts: 6516 Joined: 10 Mar 2008   | I am definitely intrigued by District 9, from what I can gather from the trailers it looks like a fresh spin on Aliens invading the Earth. Instead of the Aliens coming in and killing everyone with the Humans being the hostages, it's the other way around. The Aliens are the hostages and the humans are the ones being the assholes. That being said, I'm not the most blood-tolerant guy out there. Anything with an "R" rating out there makes me worry about all of the extreme blood n' gore n' stuff. I know, I know, I'm a nansy pansy for worrying about this, but I can't help but feel squeamish whenever I see a bunch of people being dismembered or something (Ironically, I have little problem with doing that in a game....well, maybe a little). I'll definitely consider watching this though, mainly because I get a tingly sensation whenever I see the word 9. |

Spielberg made The Lost World, War of the Worlds, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull/Temple of Doom, produced Transformers 1 & 2, Hook kinda sucked too and most of his 21st Century films are kinda bad/mediocre. I think Spielberg doesn't see a bad movie when he is making/producing one. |

I agree completely, especially about Children of Men. One of my all time favorites. |
On the Record Posts: 6516 Joined: 10 Mar 2008 | Damn, unless I'm horrible at reading the Tomato Bar, Rotten Tomatoes has District 9 as a 91% fresh rating. Damn, that's pretty good. |

I think what happens is Spielberg likes to make a ton of cash and so he puts out what people will go to see and spend money on. That way he can finance his more serious films. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1154 Joined: 31 Mar 2008   | My first thought was this was a movie about 17 years out of date but I keep hearing enough good things about it to go see it. |

And his more serious movies haven't been up to snuff either. The last GOOD serious movie he made was Saving Private Ryan. |
PROBATION  Posts: 9643 Joined: 5 Mar 2009  | Ok so im renting this. Why? Just because, personally i already saw my best movie of the year. Although this review let me know a little more about this particular movie, since everywhere else has been so vague about it. I still cant stand your review style bob, but every now and then youll make a decent point. Such as this time around. Ill see if you were right 6 months from now when i go to blockbuster.

He hasn't made a good serious movie in a long long long time. Munich could have been great but it was badly handled. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 548 Joined: 10 Oct 2008     | I so want to see this movie, to bad no theater in my country is going to show it. |
Muckraker  Posts: 234 Joined: 13 Jun 2009    | Good recomendation, I'll definitly try and check it out, this looks impressive this time because it's once again notably different to any other Peter Jackson production, showing that the guy is more than just a one trick pony. Also King Kong does rock. Though I am sort of outraged he dare class the people who like Star Trek with the same douchebag impersonation that he used for Transformers. Star Trek was a good movie get over it. And I'd hardly call you audacious as you put it, your reviews do pretty much corresepnd to what ever the majority of the internet is saying, Star Trek excluded. |

Which was...? Yeah, I'm definitely checking out district 9. I need to spend a weekend just going to the theater, I'm seriously backed up on movies I should see. I suppose District 9 not being a flop is a good enough reason as any to go. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 892 Joined: 13 Mar 2008   | Mayhap I'll see it then... |

This limited release movie called "The Hurt Locker", definitely more my type of movie. User was put on probation for: Poll: OK, this is kinda weird.. (7 days) |
Paperboy  Posts: 36 Joined: 19 Mar 2009    | I was going to give this a pass since Hollywood's ability to deliver a decent SF movie is too common and the ads I saw reminded me of Roland Emmerich. However, I will now check it out. Thx Movie Bob. (I'll be back to tell you if you are wrong but so far I have concurred with your reviews.) |
Muckraker  Posts: 249 Joined: 21 Mar 2009  | I was planning to see this movie anyway. But after such a fantastic review I'll have to get some people together and get a move on to see it. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2737 Joined: 10 Oct 2008 |
Huh, haven't heard of it. Guess I'll look into it. Thanks for the pseudo-recommendation. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 554 Joined: 27 Jan 2009  | I already planned on seeing this without the review, but I thought I check it out for shits and giggles. I guess you can't go any where on the internet without someone bashing halo... Anyway, I guess I'm all alone when I say "I can't wait for a halo movie to come out". Nice "review" anyway. A tad annoying at some parts, but eh, was nice. |
Anonymous Source Posts: 5 Joined: 20 Jun 2009  | YES!! i was hoping you'd like this movie, it's also good to see someone who appreciates Peter Jackson as much as I do. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3966 Joined: 1 Nov 2007 | I've been hearing good things about this film. Not just good things, excellent things. Thank god Halo fell apart. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 184 Joined: 25 Dec 2008   | I dunno. Peter Jackson's King Kong didn't really fly well with me. Honestly, it was a bit long for my taste. It was good, but it wasn't something I would say is totally amazing. Even the Lord of the Rings movies were just okay until the third one. The third one is the best Jackson movie I've seen thus far. That being said, I'm skeptical of this movie just like I am of G.I. Joe. I want to see them both but a rather empty wallet and a hectic schedule sort of keep that from happening right now. Also, I did like your comments on the Halo movie/game. Pretty bland game would make a pretty dumbass movie. Curious what you think of the Prince of Persia Movie that supposed to be coming out not too far down the road. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2704 Joined: 20 May 2009 | It was directed by the same guy who was going to make the halo movie before fox and universal had a hissyfit and shot it down... |
