How could anyone like this better than Snatch?

I just don't get it. This movie is crap compared to Snatch. Yes, Snatch follows the same formula, but it improves upon it greatly. Snatch has better characters, a better cast, a more rocking soundtrack, better jokes, it's not as boring as Lock Stock is, and it's more stylishly directed giving it more pizzazz.

So, that being said, how the Hell could anyone like this better than Snatch?

Both exceleent films. Lock stock shades it for me. Just better paced, and that little bit darker.

The first is always the best as when you attempt to film a movie such as this you take risks and LS passed them all. Lock stock is by far the best.

I just rewatched Lock Stock for the first time since it came out, and afterward I was thinking "Didn't the guy who made this movie make another one that was kinda similar, like a year later?" But I couldn't remember wtf it was called.

Thanks for reminding me, now I'm off to go look for Snatch. Ahem.

Yes, how could anyone have a different opinion than you, when you are the sole authority? Strange world indeed.

Never be complete.

I like Snatch better than Lock, Stock but only by the faintest of hairs.

quite easy...Lock, stock is a superior movie in all aspects...especially the writing department...snatch is just stylish and cool but lock, stock have beside its coolness, a really clever story from start to finish.

I love them both and wish we could get another like it, Revolver was just not anywhere near as good as these 2 and Rocknrolla was alright but i preferred the cast he used for this and snatch.
