La Haine. One of the best movies I've ever seen. I really suggest everybody watch it, excellent movie.

Zodiac could have lasted 1 hour.

It was filled with 2 hours of crap and nothing going on.

That's an exaggeration.

It's too long, but it would be fine as a 1.5 - 2 hour film. However, if length of the movie is a major problem for your movie watching experience then I would steer away from watching movies that go longer than whatever your personal time limit is.

 

[Enron]

Zodiac sucks. End of.

I disagree. It's pretty good. I think people expected it to be like Silence of the Lambs.

 

[king Ale]

I don't personally care about a movie's length, you can always watch it in two days if it's really that hard to finish it all in one day. Zodiac is a very good movie IMO, I wouldn't even say it was unnecessarily dragged.

I once sat through a 5 hour work print of Gangs of New York. That was painful.

What's so good about Zodiac ffs? It has to be the worst thing I've ever watched. And many of my relatives and friends share the same view. From story to scenario to acting everything was below zero.

 

[Enron]

The acting was good, the story was fine (not that much can be changed). I think the weakest part of the film is probably Jake Gyllenhal's portrayal of Robert Graysmith (the cartoonist), that and Fincher's annoying insistence on slotting known actors into bit roles.

The things I enjoyed about it (just watched it Sunday afternoon) are its realism, the lack of action scenes, portrayal of law enforcement communications in the 60's and 70's and the lack of face time for the killer. I looked up the run time and it's 2 hours and 27 minutes long. So it's long but not LOR or Braveheart long.

You're more than welcome to your opinion, but I just disagree.

Then again I just might be odd, I hate the movie Troy. But many people I know love it.

Nope, not really. Like I said, I watched LOTR which lasted more than 3 hours and I didn't even feel it.

I just think it's a horrible movie and I understand what's Rab saying.

You probably didn't like The Social Network either?

Just watched On The Waterfront. Marlon Brando was supernatural, fantastic acting in the scene. Those of you who have seen it know which one I'm talking about. I could've been somebody instead of a bum

Oh and, on the entire discussion regarding the lenght of movies. Does it really matter? If a movie is good, then it doesn't matter how long it is. I can sit through both Che movies in one sitting - because they are spectacular movies. I can't sit through Star Wars 1-3, because they are all bad.

I think it was decent. Worth of watching because it tells many things about friendship and everything, but nothing special IMO.

 

[king Ale]

I liked Zodiac more than other works of Fincher (haven't seen The Social Network yet though).

I was thinking they were very similar in there pacing. That's all. I liked it better than Zodiac.

Wait. You liked Zodiac better than Fight Club?

 

[king Ale]

Yes

Not a fan of Fincher's in general though.

I agree. Schindler's List was on 2 DVDs (way back when they first came out) but it's pretty amazing. The same with Lawrence of Arabia. But I think there is a difference between slow movies and quicker paced movies, at least as far as preference.

 

[Enron]

Yes

He's pretty dark and dreary.

It's very good indeed. Check out Un Prophète too.
