Anyone gonna check it out tonight? Later on, or some other time?

This looks like it could turn out to be a pretty good film, hopefully renew my faith in the rather lackluster movie industry as of late. (Insert about 90% of the summers movies here)

I'm just waitin' on a later time for a show, and hopefully get one of my lazy friends to tag along.

I'll have an impression later tonight.

Ok I just got home, and holy crap, I was amazed.

This movie is all eye candy, awesome scenery, especially the city. Think the Dick Tracy retro look (Which is obvious in the commercials, but it's awesome when the cameras going around through the city streets). Also som very other nice areas to look at that I won't spoil. Great flying scenes as well.

I really, really liked the style of all the robots, that old plain look, yet had a certain charm that drew me in. Was nice seeing some robots move around like ACTUAL clunky robots without them flying around at speeds defying physics, and wielding lightsabers. beigeroll.gif The flying manta ray things were kinda strange, but I grew to like them.

Dialogue was a bit incoherent at times, which made me scratch my head at times, but I later caught up. I also enjoyed the movie score, something that's hard to find in a lot of movies lately, music you'd hear straight out of a WW2 movie.

One of the best parts (In my eyes) : no uneeded cheesy humor, if something funny happned, it was justified, no random BS "haha he made a smart ass remark when killing someone" kind of crap.

If you don't like Angelina, you'll be pleased, she doesnt show up a whole lot. beigebiggrin.gif Although I admit, she played her character rather nice. Surprising from her. . .

Maybe I'm just a sucker for that old retro look, but overall, I really like the movie, a very refreshing thing to see these days. Incredibly enjoyable, I recommend checking it out.

3 out of 4 stars.

Random SPOILER! You been warned.















Not sure if it really qualifies as a spoiler, but to a lot, reaction counts I guess.

Corniest. Ending. Ever. I let out the biggest groan in the theater. I'll leave it at that. That's just the last absolute scene tho, the last part of the movie was very exciting.
