JCVD

[Crow550]

Post your review and give it a whatever outta 5 star rating.

I am gonna watch it later today on Netflix Instant. So I will post my review later.



Just wanna know what you think? I was never really a fan of Van Damme. His wooden acting or crappy fighting skills....

Here is a hilarious review on Street Fighter & Mortal Kombat (which he wasn't in but still a funny review.) part 1: http://thatguywiththeglasses.c...ghter-the-movie-review and part 2: http://thatguywiththeglasses.c...e-movie-reviews-part-2

I liked Blood Sport, Universal Solider, Replicant and In Hell though.


But everyone is praising this film, even the non fans. Saying he can act and this is amazing and such.

So what do think?

I thought it was good but not great. I was hoping for something more openly comic - it has its funny moments but it's largely kind of bloated and overly serious IMO. I'd give it 3/5 stars. On a technical note, I too watched it through Netflix streaming - it's HD and has pretty solid video quality (though, as usual, we are stuck with stereo audio).

I know that thing is huge.

However as Arnold would say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BANkMaLJaY4

I have heard 3 or 4 different stories on how he got it.

Here is some people talking about it: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt11...board/thread/122799412

It's in my BB cue on BD. I'm renting it for humor as I was never a fan of his.

I have watched allot of his newer DTV flicks because......I dunno.....Replicant and In Hell were good and man if you want a good laugh......Check out The Hard Corps or Second In Command, well that one might put you to sleep.

Sometimes i'll check out what Dolph is up too. Heck he is more entertaining than Jean Claude. However Dolphs best role was Andrew Scott in Universal Solider. Yeah screw Ivan Drago.

Steven Seagal......Never gave two craps about him......Might check out his early stuff....Any good stuff at all?

I think i'll stick with Arnold, Sly and Bruce for my action needs...... But sometimes it's nice to support the DTV fallen action heros.....Well......How often do find a gold nugget in a pile of shit? Wait....That's gross.....I'll just say it....A good movie in pile of bad, cheap ones..... Course look at 98% of what hits the big screen these days....

under siege is one of the greatest action movies evar! You can't go wrong with a supporting cast of tommy lee jones, gary busey, and hot topless chick.

I think it brings light to the fact that he's a fairly good actor within his native language. I liked it. Nothing mind-blowing but I'm glad I watched it. 6.75/10.0

I liked it a lot. The premise is very interesting, kinda half action movie and half introspective reflection by JCVD on his career and how much of a joke he's become.

 

[xboxist]

The "self-reflection" scene was completely out of the blue and interesting. Really liked that.

 

[Squisher]

Liked it a lot. Would watch again. +++

I laughed, I cried, it became part of me.


Sorry, I got carried away. 4/5 stars.

I thought it was a very good movie and certainly proved JCVD can act (given his native tongue).
Its a clever movie and a "smart" idea I think.
It certainly shines a different light on the man thats for sure.

 

[KeithTalent]

Really want to see this; I have it high up in my queue, but it seems to be more popular than my rental place expected, so I may not get it for a little while.

One of my favorite (and surprisingly so for sure) movies from last year. Saw it at the theater and we were the only people there on opening weekend. Glad to see it hit Netflix instant so others can check it out easily.

I just heard of it for the first time yesterday when I saw the trailer.

 

[hiromizu]

It was good.
