I have downloaded this movie but everyone that has seen it that I know was very disappointed so my expectations are low

was alright, was watchable even tho that number 23 stuff is bollocks. rated about a 2 rather than a 3. want a nu-noir stick with sin city.

Everyone I know has really liked this :o I for one thought it was really good!

 

At first him acting seriously is a bit off-putting, but once you forget it's Jim Carrey (takes about 20 minutes) you really get into the film, and trying to work the plot out!

i saw this film yesterday and i really liked it, one of the best films i've seen

 

Dont mean to be rude, but you've not seen that many films then have you....? It's rubbish for me, even by its own genre limitations, it's incredibly poor stuff (the fact that it IS so poor is probably mainly down to Joel Schumacher and the barely trained chimp who wrote the script, because there's certainly the potential for an interesting story with this whole '23' theme if you actually look at some of the Conspiracy websites..).. It's like a mentally challenged version of Darren Aranofsky's amazing "Pi - Faith In Chaos" in which a mathematician becomes obsessed by unlocking the mystery behind a mathematical formulae which may provide the undertanding of all human existence. His search brings him into conflict with a secret Hassidic sect and an incredibly shady Corporation, both of whom want the formula to pursue their own agendas.... "The Number 23" seems pretty c**p now, doesn't it.... :lol:

 

Seriously though, watch "Pi..." and then tell me that "The Number 23" is actually a good film....

I saw it and thouht it was quite good, I was expecting it to rubbish but I was pleasantly surprised :dance:

i suppose in this case is whether its matched to some striking noir from the 1940s or some dodgy late night romp with saxaphone overload on the soundtrack :lol: . film is watchable but just nothing more than rubbish about numbers, suicide blondes and women in red.

Yeah mate, I kept half-expecting INXS to turn up on the soundtrack when the endless references to 'suicide blondes' came up... :lol: That element was something that was particularly rubbish..... Frank Miller's "Sin City" graphic novels (and indeed the film itself...) deals with modernizing the conventions of 40s Film Noir to far greater effect than the nonsense Joel Schumacher puts into this film.... Schumacher probably thought he was being, like, SO Post-Modern... Without realising that proper Post-Modernism has a damn sight more than just self-reflexivity and mind-numbing referencing going on underneath the surface... Something that Miller and Rodriguez (and indeed the French 'Nouvelle Vague' film-makers) certainly understood....

Yeah looking forward to sin city 2 (as well as 300, grindhouse etc), however think fantastic four is out first :lol:

 

 

(and btw talking of 'Nouvelle Vague' and Inxs remember to buy this :down:

now dont the doors need a new singer??? :lol: this sounds like a job for Mark Burnett :lol:

don't like him really.
This was absolute SH*TE.

 

It certainly was... I was expecting an elaborate 'conspiracty theory' type plot (and there's PLENTY of source material on the Net surrounding the whole '23' thing to make a film like this...), and what I got was a dull, tedious waste of 90 minutes which just ripped off "Sin City" and a load of other, better films...
