May 28, 200718 yr It does look well $h!t and generic but I'm going to get my sister to download it anywwwaaay! Just because.
May 28, 200718 yr LOL. If it's really as bad as everyone says I may just download it instead :kink: Good idea mate, don't actually waste your hard-earned in a cinema actually paying for it.... And frankly, I dont care what anyone thinks, the producers of ramake trash like this, which pisses on the memory of a decent film, deserve to be pirated and have "future productions jeapodised".... :lol: Please, let's jeapordise it, a LOT..... :lol:
June 2, 200718 yr Author Good idea mate, don't actually waste your hard-earned in a cinema actually paying for it.... the times gave it 3 stars out of 5 while the guardian gave it 1 star
June 3, 200718 yr the times gave it 3 stars out of 5 while the guardian gave it 1 star "The Times" clearly has film reviewer who's about 12 years old then.... :lol: Either that or they're a middle-aged woman who fancies Sean Bean.... :lol: :lol:
June 3, 200718 yr i think i'm probably the only person on here who actually liked it :lol: i thought it was alright :)
June 3, 200718 yr i think i'm probably the only person on here who actually liked it :lol: i thought it was alright :) Go watch the original film with C Thomas Howell, Jennifer Jason Leigh and the brilliant Rutger Hauer now PP, and then say that....
June 3, 200718 yr ok, i'll watch the original as well but it probably wont make me not like the remake not everybody likes the same thing
June 3, 200718 yr ok, i'll watch the original as well but it probably wont make me not like the remake not everybody likes the same thing Fair enough PP, but just pay attention to the actual acting.... The quality of the interplay between Howell and Hauer (and it really does make a difference that in the original film Howell is totally alone for the first half of the film).... The slow-burning realisation that John Ryder just might be the Angel of Death or the Devil himself.... I never got that feeling with Sean Bean.... The original film truly does have a metaphysical quality about it completely lacking in the remake, and it's down in no small part to Rutger Hauer and how he interprets the role, and Eric Red's original script (hacked to pieces in the remake..) really does give him a considerable amount to chew on.... Genius acting.... Something that Sean Bean could never be accused of..... :lol: :lol:

June 3, 200718 yr I thought it was okay. Not as bad as everyone made it out to be. Still a bit predictable.
June 4, 200718 yr I thought it was okay. Not as bad as everyone made it out to be. Still a bit predictable. Yeah, predictable, something the original film was emphatically NOT.... Well, at least, not at the time anyway - 1986.... So many films have just ripped this one off, that if you were to look at it now you may mistakenly think that it was predictable.... I just fail to see how anyone who has seen the original film can possibly think this tawdry remake is "okay"..... In terms of script it is dire, in terms of acting, it is a joke beyond words, in terms of direction, it is leaden and without flair.... I'm just waiting for some talentless bozo to "re-interpret" Kathryn Bigelow's magnificent, poetic "Near Dark"..... Wont be long I reckon..... <_<
June 6, 200718 yr This looks scary Sean Bean is about as 'scary' as a bowl of soggy rice pudding mate.... He cant even do the "Mad-Eyed" piercing stare that Rutger did so effortlessly in the original..... He honestly seems bored by the whole thing, like he'd rather be doing something else, like playing football or summat.....
June 7, 200718 yr Author "The Times" clearly has film reviewer who's about 12 years old then.... :lol: Either that or they're a middle-aged woman who fancies Sean Bean.... :lol: :lol: Sean Bean?!?!?! and i thought it was Bryan Adams :lol: :lol: (then again that could be funny if it was him and the USP was 'death by dadrock') I'm just waiting for some talentless bozo to "re-interpret" Kathryn Bigelow's magnificent, poetic "Near Dark"..... Wont be long I reckon..... <_< thats a cool film man i got that with my mag subs. however the thing with this and all the Chainsaw remakes is like if you're gonna film and colour correct the edit so it looks like it is a independent film from the 1970s why bother?? just so you can sell some alternative emo fratpunk to your 12 year old mallrat demographic??? and however good that NIN track is, it didnt work at that point in the film i thought. out of sync with the vibes This looks scary Sean Bean is about as 'scary' as a bowl of soggy rice pudding mate.... well i suppose if it was a huge swimming pool of soggy rice pudding you could drown in it and so that would be quite scarey. there you go Jigsaw, one for Saw part 967 :lol:
June 7, 200718 yr Poor remake, I prefer the original. I wish they stop making remakes, originals are always better than remakes, take the Posiden flick from last year, how bad was that.
June 7, 200718 yr Author Poor remake, I prefer the original. I wish they stop making remakes, originals are always better than remakes, take the Posiden flick from last year, how bad was that. However was reading EW and they fantasised a Robocop remake with Wentworth Miller. Now that sounds good. but obv not as good as T-Bag the Movie :lol:
October 14, 200717 yr I saw this last night and I didn't think it was as bad as everyone made it out to be. :lol: One part I don't get though, is when they're at the gas station at the beginning and they agree to give the guy a lift, Sean Bean is on the phone to someone yet apparently he's a "ghost". Granted he could have just not been on the phone at all and just pretened to be, but it seemed to me like he was. :lol:
October 14, 200717 yr Dreadful remake. Anyone who has'nt seen the truly excellent original, should watch it. It is on tomorrow night on ITV at 11.35pm :D
