Now that I've seen the movie


I can wholeheartedly say how incredibly retarded this movie is. This was a pretty bad movie. At the very best it was an okay movie to watch when you're bored with nada to do. Why you may ask. Where to begin? The whole "what would you do in this situation" is the only entertainment I got from this. It was a good idea, horribly executed by talentless actors. They may be good in japan or whatever but are jus awful compared to America's acting talents. The story itself has a good base storyline but the details and subplots *beep*în BLOW! How many freakin teenagers loved a female in their class forever without tellin them til they're dying? Ohh and cause you say that, the other will automatically love you back and wish you'd have said somethin but darn, you just died. Yk only after everyone stops what they're doin so they can give a speech then die when they've said all try wanna say. I assume the killers took smoke breaks during these speeches. I really heard someone say THG is set in a completely unbelievable and never could happen dystopian future, yet this movie could happen? This is just as ridiculous if not more than the reason behind THG. At least In THG the bad guys are fully aware to the obvious fact that they're doin this to strike fear and taunt their fallen adversaries from the rebellion whereas this movie, the villains act as if they're doin everyone some good natured favor. Did I mention the acting was jus horrendous? Simply takes you right out of the seriousness. And all these people who were jus casually living on the island as f they didn't know hey would blow up the next day if they don't kill each other. But no, they'd rather all die being morons than acceptin the situation and doing what thy have to until they're completely backed into a corner. One of them knows how to jam up computers and signals and practically everything to do with their "system" yet none of te dozens of workers overseeing the whole event, who were trained and created these computer programs, seem to be able to outsmart this teenager. The *beep* teacher bringin an umbrella for no reason was a stupid scene even tho I realize the small significance, it was still so stupidly played out on screen. The movie was in a different language the whole time so I basically read a movie when I could've just read the "ohh so better book." I honestly don't care if fans of this movie get butthurt, say "no one cares about my opinion, or try to say "I jus don't get it" cause at the end of the day I do get it, and nobody cares about your obviously *beep* opinion claiming this movie is some masterpiece. It sucked ass. I wish I coul get back the time I wasted reading and watchin these imbeciles try to portray and interesting concept. Overall, props to the writer for the base idea as that was entertaining. But the rest of the film, details, acting choices, outcome, never ending love stories, they all suck ass. Never seein this movie again.

Ohh and almost forgot, how many times do you need to be shot to stop gettin up? Like the fûck? Seriously? The teacher dyin was *beep*în stupid as hell. He gets riddled with bullets all throughout his body, then jus casually gets up, walks over to his phone, has a normal convo, eats a cookie, then dies. OMFG that was pathetic. How was that even remotely realistic? Also several students would keep on gettin shot, then falling to the ground, to jump right back up like they weren't jus filled with bulletholes to get shot again, get up and run, shot again and then finally die. I could tare this movie apart all day. It was jus awful and I'm so upset I went against my better judgement and watched it when everything screamed not to. I am ashamed -.-

Thank you for sharing you're opinion but you don't need to post ten messages about that, it won't really change anything. Some people don't like the movie, some people do, thats it. Its already 14 years old, the director is dead and whatever you think won't change its current status. I just don't understand americans sometimes. You seem to write well but you are getting annoying with all these posts. And Quentin Tarantino will still say that its his favorite movie ever.

I just hope you are not part of the 1/4 of americans that doesn't know africa is a continent or the earth is turning around the sun or that the fake immoral bible is true and doesn't know where is Canada on the map.

Man just relax. Its like if I would waste all my time bashing the bourne movies because its nothing like the books and was a big insult to the late Robert Ludlum vision.

There are bigger problems in the world right now.

"fake immoral bible"
lost all credibility here.

first of all, who are you to decide what is right and what is wrong ?
you are reading a book written 3000-2000 years ago.
actually the 21th century is the most gentle one. our fathers probably was hit several times in their lives.
and if you are old enough, so were you. (i know i was)

what im going to say is not a religious idea but a true fact with scientific proves including artifacts you can see in museums:
1) the bible is not 'fake' entirely. the bible was written by scholars or some people of the time of the event, and very likely to believe in god, just like everyone else in the land. if there is a large storm- it happens because god is angry so they write what they saw and what they believe.
2) it was edited several times so we cant really be certain what was in the original and what wasnt.


the bible is more than just a religious book. it is an ancient history book that proved helpful during archeological diggings, especially in west Jerusalem. (unfortunately the arabs in east jerusalem will stop any work in the area).











sorry for english, obviously im not an english speaker.

What a brilliant review, you're a very well spoken man and your points are remarkably concise. I especially enjoyed the multiple times you used the ever-so eloquent term of "sucking ass" in a mature and educated manner, that was simply masterful. Bravo, good sir, bravo.

On the plus side, at least the boy's waking the board up. He's funny too. Had me snorting my coffee a minute ago when I saw him whining - at some length - about being put through the torture of... reading subtitles!  Bless. To be fair, it must be hard to keep up when you have keep mouthing out the words! 

Amusingly I think he's serious.
Haven't seen you in forever, Jimi. Hope you're doing well.

Yes, his grammar is very poor and he showed a remarkable lack of vocabulary. But he did have a point about the teacher and students who showed an even more remarkable ability to walk and talk when their lungs and other parts of the body were shredded with bullets.

Did you learn to write from reading "The Hunger Games" over and over again?

At least use paragraphs to break up that childish, rambling mess...

Due to the lack of moderators, trolls can ruin the IMDB message boards. Don't feed them.
