    I'm screwed, I'm only in my thirties and I already get this

    A very good but not the best Tarantino, but I think it has to do with the fact that his style is getting familiar. The surprise is gone, but the way he films this is still as brilliant as ever. So this might be a downside to his success.

    Besides, the babbling Dr. King Schultz reminded me too much at Christoph Waltz's character in Inglorious Bastards.

    But I LOVE the amount of details he puts in some scenes and the work he does with his actors. They really give the best of themselves.

    ★★★★ Watched 19 Jan, 2013

    A romcom that gets awfully close to the whole concept of the word 'romance'.

    ★★★★ Watched 05 Nov, 2012

    If you ignore some of the over the top action, it's a pretty good movie.
    Joseph Gordon-Levitt really uplifts this film with his performance. And Jeff Daniels is nice as the boss of the loopers.

    The diner scene is great, reminded me of Heat.

    Would have been a lot better if he dropped the morale lesson.
    Tatum delivers a good solid performance (one of his best) but McConaughey steals the show.

    Didn't need to see that much of his butt from that, or any other distance though.

    ★★★ Watched 31 Oct, 2012

    It's nice, especially the first hour but then it derails towards the final.
    So not his best work but still enjoyable.

    ★½ Watched 08 Jul, 2012

    What starts out is a good parody goes awfully wrong, really fast. The movie hits rock bottom when the love interest shows up and doesn't get up on it's feet for the rest of the time.
    With that crew, it should have been a better movie.

    Tough one to like, tough one to dislike. The only sure thing is that Josh Brolin's performance is great.

    ★★★★ Watched 02 May, 2012

    In regards of my first impression about this movie after I saw the trailer, I was pleasantly surprised that it has more depth then the average super hero movie.
    Than I saw the name Joss Whedon and remembered how much fun Firefly was.

    Some criticism: Although very well done, the final action scene is a bit to long.

    First of all, watch this.

    The reasons? This movie hits you like a sledgehammer because it mixes the humor so well with the drama. Few movies actually find that delicate balance, this one does.

    Personally I hate it when a movie is going all the way to get you in tears. The only response they get from me is annoyance or laughter where the latter annoys the sniffing/snorting people around me.
    So with a story about cancer I was expecting…

    This film struck a nerve is of a delicate beauty. Scarlett Johansson as I like to see her and the (almost) ever awesome Bill Murray as the ideal counterpart.

    One of the worst promoted movies ever which made me discover this years after it's release.
