I might be in a minority here but I fucking HATE long movies. If you're going over 2 hours you're going too long.
I would agree with that actually. It's happening a lot now. King Kong, which is an awesome film, is over 3 hours and that is way too long for any film. It really could have easily been 2 hours and still been great.
Although saying that, the film was so good it flew by.

I finally saw The Deer Hunter, which I'm giving a 10/10. It took me 27 years to see the movie and I'm predicitng it will probably take me just as long to recover from it.

funny, I see positive movie reviews about Chronicles of Narnia, even though it's an allegory of Christ's life..

It's a very loose allegory. For example, when Christ returned he didn't bite the head off of the romans.

It's also not the type of movie I'd bring a small child too. What with the stabbings and eating of faces.

I started reading it back when I was 13 or so and I hated those damn children and all the Christian morals faggotry. I never finished the book.

almost every single story we tell can be traced to our mythological roots.
religions are fantastic stories - why not enjoy the stories on their own merit?

star wars is based on the teachings/writings of one joseph campbell, who speaks of this very principle.
edit: wtf? that came out totally backwards

I saw a bit of joseph campbell's Sukhavati: A Place of Bliss. Some interesting stuff - wouldn't mind learning more about that stuff some time.

LotR is the same basic story, but I like it much better. Same story, better execution.
I generally hate reading books where children are the main protagonists though, I've always hated that, even when I was a kid.

yeah great work spoiling the entire movie for everyone here (apart from the fact that your synopsis hardly makes any sense)

Sorry I didn't know the rule and I thought that you already saw the movie since it's a 1994

Just saw Narnia as well...
7/10. I was very impressed.
It was a very good adaptation; well acted for the most part, considering it was almost all kids and talking animals; very impressive effects. I didn't think it was very long at all, though.

I saw the Doom movie the other day. The first person section made me want to play Q4 single player.
I just watched Face Off with a friend. What a stinkin pile of shit. John Woo must have got a bulk deal on fireworks and sparklers.

Miller's Crossing: 10/10. Pure cinematic excellence...not one wasted breath or superfluous shot. It's boneriffic.

that's truly an excellent movie.
However, my sources inform me that you've seen this movie in the past. I hope that you saw it again recently, since this thread is only about the MOST RECENT MOVIE YOU SAW.
