You are a greater Canadian than I.
I can't stand Maple Syrup.

IT'S FUCKING BRUTAL!

I almost want the brutality to be a surprise to anyone who sees it, but damn this is a fun movie.

Fucking Great

I'll be seeing it later.

Adikt · 08-14-2009, 07:04 AM

there were alot of parts where it could have been a really shitty movie, but then it does a complete 180 and multiplies the awesome x10

*exitspeed* · 08-14-2009, 07:21 AM

DAMN. I gotta go see this this weekend.

Slammed180 · 08-14-2009, 08:16 AM

My first thought was this movie is going to blow. But Ive been reading great reviews all over the place. Going tonight to check it out. I really hope it lives up to the hype.

Read this from IGN:

Quote:

The trouble with giving this film the five stars we've elected to give it is simply that it elevates expectations; it drives people to know more, filling their cinematic bellies before the main course even begins. Know only that the movie is good, it is important, it is strongly made. Let words like "great" and "brilliant" and "genre-defining" linger after the credits have rolled. Go to the film as empty as you can, and believe us, you'll leave satisfied, and with the urge to book a return trip to District 9.

tricky_ab · 08-14-2009, 10:05 AM

Crap...Sooo many good movies out right now...

ronmcdon · 08-14-2009, 11:19 AM

IGN says the most redundant things.
Of course all things equal, lowering or raising your expectations will have some effect.
You also can't fairly rate something based on hype (or lack thereof).
It's not the film's fault you built up your own expectations.

I agree. this year in general has been the worst in a while.
Even the indie/foreign films aren't all that great.
Seems like most action films are PG-13, and made for a pre-pubescent audience.

District 9 look good though.
I find it hilarious how the film takes place in South Africa, with the locales being almost bigot-like.
As always, I enjoy Peter Jackson's work.

MandTPhotography · 08-14-2009, 02:30 PM

This movie....was fucking epic.

So much better than what I expected, and I had high expectations.

This movie is brutal, so good.

240sxdriftin · 08-14-2009, 03:04 PM

coww-cho!!!!! · 08-14-2009, 10:39 PM

i heard this movie was supposed to be about the HALO game series but they just changed it up probably due to how low of a budget they had

can anyone confirm whther or not it was supposed to be a halo movie?

i havent seen it yet but i will soon

Yeah sure, it was a Halo movie.

Slammed180 · 08-14-2009, 11:04 PM

Meh, went and saw it.
It exceeded my original expectations, but I don't think it deserved as high of ratings as it received.

Overall, I think it's a good renter.

BustedS13 · 08-14-2009, 11:13 PM

SHIT WAS HARDCORE.

any time a mech shows up in anything, it's going to kick ass.
any time Peter Jackson has anything to do with anything that isn't lord of the butthole rings, it's going to kick ass.
blah blah blah, it's going to kick ass.
i thought the main character the whole time was the dude from dead alive. guess i was wrong, but he looked pretty close.

AND THE TRAILER FOR FINAL DESTINATION. OH FUCK.

Z33dori · 08-15-2009, 12:22 AM

GOD THIS MOVIE WAS EPIC WIN

i loved it... nothing like i expected at all. It was awesome

Souljahzs13 · 08-15-2009, 12:38 AM

I've been waiting for the reviews to come in, and it looks like I will be watching it too. I can agree with a few of you that there are not many worth movies out in the theaters right now. I walked out on Bruno...

DataXUnknown · 08-15-2009, 12:39 AM

In my opinion there is way too much fucking hype for this movie. Litterally every damn post in this thread is like "OMFG DISTRICT 9 FUCKING AMAZING GO SEE IT ITS SO GREAT ASDFASFD". I just saw it today and it was just weird. It was pretty good, but nothing close to a movie where I would be going crazy about. I was just curious of what it was and what it was about because I saw signs everywhere off of freeways and by LAX theres a huge billboard of it.

Z33dori · 08-15-2009, 12:43 AM

huh, there was zero advertising on the east coast.... other than in the movie theaters

i never even saw a preview on tv...
