Why did you say Cinderella Man was shit

I just thought it was spoon fed, American shit. Could have been really good but Ron Howard and Zellcrapper ruined it. Crowe and Giamatti were good but that was it.

 

[Albion Dan]

Crash was the biggest load of pretentious shite I have ever had the misfortune to sit through. Shockingly over rated.

My best...

Sin City
batman
War of the worlds (shame about the very poor ending, SPOILER....how the hell could his son have survived??)
Machinist
The Aviator

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Downfall and Sideways are the best I've seen.

 

[surrey jim]

Batman begins
Team ammerica
Cinderella Man

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The ending in the book was the same AD, Spielberg could'nt exactly change the ending could he

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Sideways - superb
Batman Begins - very good

 

[Virgos Magician]

Team America
War of the Worlds
Mr and Mrs Smith
Hostage
Star Wars

 

[A Melbourne Albion Supporter]

Honourable Mention : Star Wars Ep3

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Narnia
Star Wars Epiosode 3
Harry Potter
Wallace & Gromit

Can't think of another one. All kiddies film but all very very good

 

[Albion Dan]

The ending in the book was the same AD, Spielberg could'nt exactly change the ending could he

The ending wasnt the same in the book, the family did not all by some miracle survive, even the grandparents, and the son who went to fight the aliens, despite almost the entire rest of civilisation being wiped out and all meet up in a house in Boston that would have in reality been blown to simthereenes!

That was not in the book and it was a RUBBISH hollywood ending.

 

[Les Biehn]

Narnia-Dull.
Episode 3-Ok, but still shite compared to the original 3.
Cinderella Man-One of the worst films I have ever seen. Utter Gash.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Les Biehn

Thats a very silly thing to say isn't it. Cinderella Man cannot be said to be Utter Gash by anyones standards with 2 of the best performances on the year with Crowe and Giamatti both receiving Golden Globe nominations.

Narnia can in now way be desribed as Dull.

Why do you post such ridiculous and stupid comments is it to get a reaction

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Crowe was good in it, yes but although its a true story i have seen enough underdog storys that make yanks look great.

WOTW was bad, very bad the acting was crud and that fanning girl needs a bullet in here neck to stop her screaming.
