It's been a long, long time since I've seen a movie this good. If you're waffleing, go see it. Now.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I doubt it can compare to Sin City :p Seen the trailer, the idea seems funny, but that's really nothing more than a popcorn movie imho.

Sin City's a totally different genre, I grant that. Plus a movie review / opinion is only good if one's opinions are similar to the opinion-giver. So, since I thought Sin City was a bizzare movie that bordered on insanity, not genius, and was very nearly a waste of time... ;)

Honestly, it looks like a bunch of famous actors, 'xplosions and cheap gags, with everything else taking a backseat. Of course, I haven't actually seen it, so feel free to contradict me at any point...like now.

I loved Mr. + Mrs. Smith. Good, funny action movie that didn't pull any punches (unlike standard fare, when people got thrown out of cars, they actually got run over :D).
Sure, it's mindless violence with impossible shooting stunts, but the movie isn't trying to be anything else. It's good fun, imo.

Bifferent genre, but I based it on the "long time I haven't seen a movie that good". On that base, it could have been a porno movie, the comparison would still have been valid ;)

Episode 3, which we're not changing the subject to, was a movie that trounced Episodes 1 & 2, and thus left one with a relatively good impression when coming out of the theater. However, that impression got worse and worse the more one thought about the movie. Current;y, I wouldn't define Ep3 as a "good movie" by any standards. :ick:

Mr. & Mrs. Smith, however, is great. As I said before, the give and take between the two main characters is done most excellently, and stands on its own, without any help at all from the action scenes - which are also good.

I rather liked Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Action movie with a little bit of romantic comedy thrown in.

I didn't think Episode 3 was a good movie, but I did like it.  The two feelings are distinct. :)
