Solid Snake

Jesus titty fucking christ, Terrell. Someone's got a goddamn passion or sense to heavily defend the film.

bluetoast

I mean it doesn't seem any different than all the hype for the Dark Knight. For example, If people talk about the marketing, that's defended. Bane's voice, instantly defended. The only difference here is that it's one person (or a few) instead of a big amount who are this pumped for the movie.

Tom Creo

Same here. It's kinda funny that they felt the need for 3 titty lady to be in this. Like thats a deal breaker for some.

DaveyJoe

All of which could have been done with practical effects. It's cool if you are pumped for this movie, but I just don't like his style. The scene from the Total Recall trailer looks fake and overly stylized to me, just like I felt Underworld was overly stylized with no real substance. The guy is trying way too hard to be cool, and I could care less for his characters or stories.

No, not at all.

Really, it's all right. Love any film you want, it really doesn't matter to me.

Why So Blu?

Well, the Arnold's version is a bit of a classic. A lot of people like to front and say it isn't, but it's great and it's due to those "subtle" nuances like a 3 titted martian.

Arnold version the last of his golden age of movies. 1982-1990 when he was a bonafide star.

Silver age:1991-1996, still good action hero but none of the verve of golden age.
Bronze age: 1997-2003

Why So Blu?

No, T2 would have been his last bonafide starring vehicle. 1991.

Solid Snake

ahem...True Lies, yo.

Tom Creo

This being a remake, they should bump it up a notch and have a 3 Cock Martian.

It's kind of funny seeing some dog Terrell - He actually made some good points and even wanted to discuss things further...I mean, I can't say what has happenned in other threads he's been in cause I don't know but it's clear that he is just excited and would like to discuss the film more.

For me, it looks decent - and I do like that opening shot as well. Not a big Colin Farrell fan - with the suprising exception of Fright Night but it looks pretty good.

Why So Blu?

That was Silver Age.

FRwL

T2 while groovy, is definitely kickng off a new phase of his career. It doesn't have the pulpyness of his last types of flicks. And plus its the first one where it does feel like its the 90s plus Arnold's slimmer frame. I cannot put it with the golden age (Conan-Total Recall) but it does add weight to silver age (T2-Eraser) where he's still into enjoyable action just not as iconic while Bronze age (Batman and Robin-T3) he's just messing with us.

I shouldn't have said fake. But you said it better, unecessarily stylized, atleast for me.

It looks like a movie scene trying to look like a video game scene, which in turn is trying to look like a movie. If that doesn't make any sense, it's like someone mimicking a mimic.

Although I liked Underworld to a degree, I felt that film was overly stylized as well.

Movie poster is out

This is going to be PG-13 right? I read the budget crossed $200 million, no way they let this go out R.

Solid Snake

well it's Len Wiseman..so....probably not.

Defiant1

I would wager the studio would be very grateful to release this as a PG-13 with a budget that high. According to Wiki, the biggest budgeted movies of all time with an R rating are Troy, Terminator 3, Alexander, and the sequels to The Matrix. Colin Farrell didn't do too well the last time he headlined a mega-budget production!

GoldenJCJ

That is one, big, penis shaped gun.

FRwL

A home vid of him eating out some girl doesnt help.

d2cheer

$200 million and an August release? No way does this make its money back unless it does really good business overseas.

sauce07

I was shocked when I read what the budget was, who gave the go ahead for that? I wonder if it includes any of the money spent on the failed TR2 projects, like how Superman Returns budget included the money spent on Burton.

Mr. Cinema

Filming lasted for 4 months and I didn't read anything about re-shoots or delays. So this must have a shit ton of expensive f/x shots. The cast and crew doesn't contain any A-list talent, so I'm not sure how the budget got that large.

joliom

I saw the full trailer today at the movies. It was wall-to-wall CGI. There were holographic displays, flying cars, storm trooper-looking robot cops, etc. It looked completely ridiculous. There's no possible way this is going to be better than the original (and I by no means think the original is a masterpiece). I almost laughed out loud when Kate Beckinsale popped up in full-on Underworld tough girl mode.
