I hate this 3D crap.
But only cause we don't get them in my country.

SpaceBoy

Just got my ticket online, my wife is out of town which is a great excuse to check this out - since she would go over her dead body.

Don't expect much, last horror movie I saw in 3D was that Nightmare on Elm Street movie and that was terrible. I'm never even seen the original, was it any good?

My place charged 2 bucks more too like all places it seems.

A Nightmare on Elm Street was fantastic, the sequels.. well some were okay, mostly not so hot.

LosingMyMind

The 3-D is supposed to be fantastic in this. It's the first time this particular 3-D process has been used for a horror movie.

Dumb question, but I was looking at movie times via Yahoo Movies and noticed something odd.

There are listings for My Bloody Valentine 3-D and just My Bloody Valentine.

A local theater near me has the listing times as (3-D), while all the theaters near my girlfriend's place have the latter. Is there a non-3-D print of this being given to theaters?

LickTheABCs

Yes. They're simultaneously releasing a 3-D and 2-D version of the film.

asianxcore

Thanks for the info!

Dream Warriors is fantastic, a ton of fun. New Nightmare is a great satire on the direction the Freddy character was taken after the original.

SpaceBoy

I loved the first 3 which includes DREAM warriors.

I honestly would rank them and I know I'm going to get bashed for saying this:

Part 3
Part 2
Part 1

(yes, prob opposite of everybody) I just found 3 the best of the bunch and liked the way part 2 was put together too..

Off to run a few errands then hit the 10PM showing, I'm curious if it's going to crowded or not.

Expanding on this question, is there a list of the theaters that are getting the 3D version? I don't imagine it'll play here in a million years, but a new place opened in town recently (now we have two theaters; man, you city-dwellers are spoiled. ) and I was hoping for a miracle...

asianxcore

Not that it helps but searching for movie times on Yahoo Movies will let you know if any theaters in your area are screening it in 3-D. You never know, the town I'm going to see it in is around 7,000 people and they are the only ones in the area showing it in 3-D.

On that same note, this theater I am going to tonight will be showing it at 10pm tonight (Thursday!)

Just bought tickets for a friend and I to check it out. Don't even have to wait until midnight!

Dan

My fiance just saw this tonight and she said it was great and it was a movie that I'd really enjoy...

*sigh* she doesn't know me anymore...

Zen Peckinpah

Freddy's Revenge is IMO quite unmemorable with regards to the effective atmosphere of the original and the fact that Dream Warriors is such an utter blast. I think the aspect with the gym teacher, however, is quite fascinating.

SpaceBoy

Just got back from the 3D version, saw the 10pm. I wish I had seen the original, but I haven't so I can't speak to how true or good/bad it is compared to that one.

I enjoyed it, but I like a lot of bad horror movies. I wouldn't have been happy seeing it in 2D, that's for sure. To me the only selling point was the 3D, otherwise it felt like a bad cable movie they show at 3AM. Also, I felt like I was wanting it to get over already - but that might be a result of it ending after midnight by the time they jam 10 previews in front of it (non 3D, but did get the F13th and the Last House on the Left etc.)

There were some really good kills, but most seem to remind of kills from Friday the 13th and don't remember thinking any of them were overly original or memorable in this flick.

I must admit, that 3D has come a long way since I remember seeing it in Jaws 3D (I think that's the first 3D movie I remember seeing in person as a kid). The effects were awesome, and it really did add to the movie, which needed it imho.

Hopefully I'm not talking people out of seeing it, I think it's really worth it to see in 3D, personally if I couldn't see it that way I would wait for dvd - but that's me.

As it was I enjoyed it, and the crowd (very full) added to it, with lots of laughs etc. Def seemed like it was a made for 3D movie.

LosingMyMind

This is going to make some good money. I'll have to wait about a week to see it. The closest theater playing it in 3-D is an hour away, plus shitty weather here.

asianxcore

I agree with some of SpaceBoy's points. This movie definitely thrives in 3-D and there should not be a reason to see this movie outside of that (IMO).

The crowd at the 10pm was great. Everyone was having a great time. Lots of people (including myself and my friends) were laughing, cheering, cracking jokes. It made a fun environment for an already fun movie.

Having seen the original it was nice to see..



This is the most fun I've had watching a movie in the theater in a while. Already made plans to see it again early next week with another one of my friends

LickTheABCs

I'll probably see it on Sunday. After the Eagles/Cardinals game, of course.

Matthew Chmiel

I'm going to be the first one to say it, but this film sucked major donkey dick.

Never have seen the original, but this remake was the antithesis of fun.

Yes, there were a few good kills (midget death for the win), but that doesn't make a movie watchable or likable. I didn't come to watch a shitty movie with a lot of crappy acting and dialogue in 3D. I came to watch a movie filled to the fucking brim with carnage and I only got about 10 minutes of that within a movie that runs almost 90. Disa-fucking-ppointing.

MovieMaster11

Seen it tonight and I really liked it. No it was not the original but I don't think it was trying to be. It was a very fun movie with great 3-D effects. Those blue and red glasses used to always bother my eyes but I forgot I was wearing these most of the time. Was I the only one that thought the guy that played Tom was the twin brother of "Cody" from Step by Step?

Cosmic Bus

Yahoo isn't listing anything in this area or across the lake in Vermont.

This is why I hope these 3D films never catch on; when it's important to the enjoyment of the movie (as is apparently the case here) or being used as an integral part of the movie-making process (with Avatar) but only a portion of your audience gets to see it, that really stinks. It isn't like with a small release that could go wider so everyone gets an opportunity, with 3D someone either lives in the right part of the country or they don't.

Do a zip code search on this site.

Those are my thoughts exactly. I loved the characters and location in three and the deaths were pretty imaginative.

Anyway, I just blind-watched the original on the new SE and enjoyed it. Still not sure if I'm gonna give this remake a shot.

Good:
- It was in fuckin' 3D!
- Blonde chick who spends her entire screen appearance buck naked
- Tom Atkins is in it
- I'm pretty sure there is 3D cameltoe in the movie
- EVEN THE END CREDITS ARE IN 3D!
- A midget gets killed
- Jaime King is occasionally charismatic, unlike everyone else in the movie

Bad:
- The movie sucks.
- The acting is awful (except for the aforementioned Jamie King)
- Occasionally I wanted to quote The Onion: "Character in 3D Movie Uses Cane to Point at Things"

In short: don't see this movie in 2D. Ever.

Ronnie Dobbs

Due to space constraints on their marquee, my local theatre is advertising this week's new releases as "My Bloody Blart 3-D".

Matthew Chmiel

I think I completely agree with this list except on Jaime King.


Sadly, that also wasn't the only time we were dying with laughter, because those moments happen more than the death and carnage. This film just makes me wait for Final Destination 4 with even more anticipation.

And one more thing ...
