Letterboxd — Your life in film

Pretty close to perfect, however I expect nothing less from Tarantino. We have not only the most badass main character of all time, but the most likable antagonist to grace the screen in some time (in Leo DiCaprio). The movie delivers in ever aspect and I'm not surprised to call it my favorite of 2012.

Started out pretty dull. Was tempted to leave (no kidding, it was annoying me). SO glad I didn't, however, because what took place after the first half-hour or so was an insanely fun ride.

My third time, and finally the way its supposed to be seen: True IMAX. It gets better with every viewing.

Even better the second time. Now to see it in IMAX.

Just a few questions:

How is it not nomiated for Best Picture?
How is it not nominated for Best Actor?
How is it not nominated for Best Directing?
Why did they even bother nominating other films for Sound Editing?
Why aren't there more movies like this?

My dad said it best: "In ten years, this will be one of the movies that people are looking back at. Classic."

The in-theater commentary was both informative and hilarious. Rian Johnson is slowly becoming my favorite director currently working, who's name isn't Martin or Quentin.

Not quite what I expected it to be, but still a great sci-fi movie that makes you think.

As far as Rian Johnson goes, the man is 3 for 3. And although Looper isn't quite as perfect as Brick and not quite as charming as Brothers Bloom, it still delivers. Looking forward to whatever this guy makes in the future.

Here's the thing about this movie. The story isn't good. Its a pretty terrible story, in fact. However, it is one of the most well-cast films of all time. The performances not only save the movie, they actually make it great. Sure, there's some great dialogue and Russell knows what he's doing but the real heroes behind this film's massive critical success are pretty much every actor/actress involved.
The fact that these people could take a story that I not only didn't care about, but hated, is extremely impressive. I left the theater feeling really good.

Much better than I thought it would be, given what everyone's been saying. With the cast, I should have known better. Sure, there are cheesy parts, but nothing that wasn't in the book. I saw it in regular 2D, so I have no comment in regards to the 48 FPS or the 3D quality. I liked it a lot, but it wasn't as magical (for lack of a better term) an experience as the LOTR trilogy was. Can't wait for the next one, nevertheless.
