| This film is good (by texas_phil) |
| OK... this movie so far has been slated by critics and board-posters alike although playing devil's advocate you could suggest that critics are often people who didn't make it for themselves as film-makers, and board posters are often people who didn't make it for themselves as critics so I wanted to sit in Guy's corner with the magic sponge to perhaps reach maybe a couple of the people who've decided not to see the film based on how everybody seems to be looking down their collective nose of approval at it.The film's biggest flaw in earning wide support is how <more> |
| Why this movie wasn't successful (by gudelj_b) |
| First of all, when people hear 'GUY RITCHIE', they immediately think of SNATCH. Yes, Snatch was a good movie, but the problem is that everyone associates Guy Ritchie to Snatch. They don't expect him to explore new frontiers. This movie REVOLVER is different than snatch; it's much darker and is very complex. The reason I gave a rating of 10 is because I've had to watch Revolver 3 times to understand everything. So this movie toys with your head. It's very cleverly written.This movie is different than Snatch. It was done wonderfully, the cinematography is beautiful, and <more> |
| A brilliant movie (by lubomirv1) |
| I watched to movie today and it just blew my mind away. It is a real masterpiece of art and I don't understand why most of the people think it's garbage. The main idea of the movie - take your ego away and then you will have true power! This was the main battle at the end of the movie and Guy Ritchie has shown that in a magnificent way. "The greatest enemy will hide in the last place you will ever look" - do you remember this from the movie? Because our true enemy is in us - it is our ego... That voice that always tells us that we are important, that gives us our pride, that <more> |
| A great film (by stant0s) |
| I have just finished watching this film and I can honestly say that this is a work of art. I was very surprised to see the overall rating as 5.2.Not only does Guy bring together a b list ish movie cast and make them into such glorious characters, he has given us a movie with a fantastically diverse story line with much left to the imagination.Far too many people are wanting movies with a plot that can be understood and handed to them on a plate...yet these are the films that get poor reviews because they are far too predictable.This film is special. Get it, now! |
| A Masterpiece (by Darkness_9) |
| Guy Ritchie has made a fantastic film here. It's something different and he made it work, its a masterpiece. You may be left confused the first time you watch it, but if you watch it the second time, i think you may really like it and you'll change your prediction from crap to fantastic. Guy Ritchie got really good actors for this film, and i think Andre Benjamin was great as Avi and seemed like he does acting for a living he done so well. Jason Statham was still great working for Guy. He played Jake really well and didn't mess up at any point. Overall, all the actors done really <more> |
| Great performance! (by cipy) |
| This is my first review here, so please read other's reviews as well before deciding if this movie is for you.An excellent performance by Ray Liotta, he's been great throughout the entire movie. I haven't seen him in films for a while, but sometimes he just manages to amaze me. A good actor knows how to shift between that solid, iron mask that defines his character, and the soft, narrow borderline that defines his personality. In this picture, Ray did it amazingly.The film is well worth seeing by all those who like psychological and mob-style movies.Probably not the best of its <more> |
| Well, I liked it... (by justiceforall) |
| I always enjoy seeing movies that make you think, and don't just drip-feed the answers to their audience. "Revolver" is one of these films, and although many reviewers have stated that it is difficult to follow, with a bit of concentration and an open mind I got it. First time. True, it doesn't compare to other mind-mucks like "The Usual Suspects" or "Memento", but in its own right its an intelligent and thought-provoking film. Another thing I really liked about this film is how damn beautiful it is. Every scene, every camera angle seems to have been <more> |
| A movie that deserves multiple viewings (by studleymoore2027) |
| I will start by saying that this has undeservedly be panned by just about everyone! The fact is it wasn't what anyone was expecting, especially from Guy Ritchie. What everyone was expecting was cockney geezers and good one liners "do ya like dags?" etc, but this is far more mature than his previous works. I would agree that it is confusing but all the facts are there for us we just have to see them and listen harder, this film demands all your attention! Look past the cool and dazzling look of the film, try to listen to the dialogue rather than admire the performances and i <more> |
| one of the film events of the decade (by justinyoung1978) |
| I have never known of a film to arouse such debate in my life. Believe me when i say that this film will eventually be remembered as an all-time classic. I was waiting in anticipation for this film as i had previously loved both Lock, Stock.... and Snatch, but after some of the negative reviews i thought i would be very disappointed. I absolutely loved this film and i can't wait to see it again. This film is totally different to both of the aforementioned Ritchie films, and also a lot better. I have my pick of favourite directors but none of them have pulled off a move as great as Guy <more> |
