I Saw This Movie Recently

A Little Disappointing

By: destry
Written on July 7th, 2011
Watched "The Adjustment Bureau" last night. I was anticipating it, actually, because it looked interesting. But... I think it could have been better. It was a bit boring, and maybe if I was a religious person, it might have been more interesting. The ending seemed flat and anti-climactic. I was hoping for something more Matrixy or Dark City-ish.
Oh well... it wasn't terrible enough that I got sleepy, and had some weirdness at least! lol

    I'll check that out, too. I liked the special effects (primarily the deserted and overgrown NY) and I liked the dog. I thought the movie fell to pieces when she died. Will Smith was good but I'm still trying to forgive him for The Pursuit of Happyness. (The message more than the spelling) And I've just discovered that I saw the original discarded ending. I can understand why they ditched it.

    If you are a fiction reader and you liked the movie I AM LEGEND, then I suggest you get the book. The book was written in the 1950's and is a bit different than the movie and has quite a different ending. Worth a read.

    I thought it was really disappointing and it didn't do it any good coming so soon after Inception. I saw I Am Legend for the first time tonight - did the film end or did they run out of money?

      Yes, competing with Inception was a bad idea. I liked I am Legend because I am a Will Smith fan, and probably also because I liked The Omega Man (1971) which was based on the same novel.

    Also, you might like the "Watchmen". It is a dark-superhero movie set in an atlernate universe. Interesting concept and a pretty good story line.

    hey des:



    yeah, Limitless is that very same story about the magic little pill...;)



    It's based on a cool story called "The Dark Fields" by Alan Glynn.



    It's a pretty neat little film. It should be out on DVD and Blu-Ray soon. :)

    I hate it when the trailer looks great and then the movie is blah!



    I love Brad Cooper! Yum... *drifts off for a moment* ahem... sorry! :P *giggle*

    Totally need to see that! Is that the one where he takes some kind of successful life pill or something? It looked good. I always have to wait for the DVD! lol

    Hmmm...this one looked good from the trailers, but ya can't win 'em all.



    Although it is not quite as sci-fi-ish, I really liked Limitless, with Bradley Cooper and DeNiro...:)

    I haven't seen that one. Dark City? Ah, you speak my movie language. I enjoyed that movie. based on your like of Dark City, might I suggest Equilibrium, The Island and Gattaca. Possibly you will enjoy one or all of them. :)

    It was well acted, and such, no doubt...but that story had so much potential to be a freaky good sci fi flick, and it just didn't do it for me.
