nope. but to reference a person, as a ship, that sold Africans into slavery, where they were abused and tortured is irresponsible and not clever, especially since it was based on actual events.

Darn, if only Google images would seperate images by the number of times Scott1598 has seen them! Then I wouldn't be in this pickle.
Anyway... now wait a minute! I detect a slight amount of sarcasm in your post. We're talking about Amistad being in this movie and you go and get sarcastic. When discussing slavery, that's just immature.
Back on topic, did anyone see Amistad in last year's "Never Back Down"?

Forgettable but entertaining film, but Amistad did kick ass in it...Amistad could star in Redbelt 2, and replace that other Serenity villain dude, who's a great actor too that I can't remember or pronounce his name.
Actually, on a serious note, they should team up together for the Black Panther live-action Marvel film. Either can play the hero or the villain, they are such good actors.

Just got back from this movie. I liked the story and the premise. The movie itself however left a lot to be desired. Many of the points have already been brought up.
Mine are as follows: Dakota Fanning is a good actress, I didn't like how they tried to sex her up. She's a kid and they have her in a short skirt with a couple shots showing a lot of leg. This is not taxi driver, no need for skin from a 12 year old.
The score gets irritating after a while. To have a hard hitting score accentuate certain points is a given. You can't let it go on and on or it loses its effectiveness and grates on the nerves.
Take your seasickness medicine. Some of those jump cuts were so frenetic they were nauseating. Again, a little goes a long way. They took an idea and overdid it.
The final act did a nice job with a few twists and turns. It redeemed the movie for me although the final scene with Belle and Hounsou could have been done differently. They already had a scene like it early in the movie. They should have done something really original to end the movie on a cool note instead of "seen that already 2 hours ago"
When the DVD is released I'm sure I'll give it a rental and give it another try. Until then I'm guessing this is a C- at best. It was D before the final act.

The proper way to refer to Mr. Hounsou in a joke context is to call him Digimon.

I'm watching it now, it hasn't pissed me off yet.
Decent light fare so far.

I don't know if Dr. Mabuse is doing it, but the combination of:
1. texting during a movie
2. texting about the movie he's currently watching in a dvd talk forum
3. Valentine's day
is a bit creepy!!
I'm hoping he's watching it on a computer!

Ok, this thread is cracking me up. It's more entertaining than the movie.
Just watched Push. It's pretty much a middle-of-the-road movie. Not good, but not bad. I enjoyed Jumper more than this, like most people have said (when not discussing Amistad).
Digimon is very watchable in any movie he's in, but he doesn't have much to do in Push. Neither do most of the characters. They're just kinda there showing off powers, but not really doing anything. I was fairly entertained but I wanted more. There's probably not going to be a sequel to this movie, but I'd really like to see one just to figure out what the hell is going on. The movie just ends with nothing really accomplished. Lame.

(*As you might have been able to guess from my screen name.)
(Actually, Dakota Fanning might have made a pretty good Misty in a live-action version of Pokemon.)
