Road To Perdition: Your Thoughts?

[Modeps]

Yeah so, I saw it opening night and while the movie was a bit slow, it was an awesome movie. I guarentee it at least one oscar.
what did you guys think?

(i did a search for perdition and didnt get any real results except a guy that went to the advanced screening)

Awesome book, I haven't seen the movie yet so I can't help you there.

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Haven't seen it yet, but I'd like to.

I think it's another lame-ass Tom Hanks movie that I'm not going to see.

Make sure you keep an open mind.

I enjoyed the movie a lot.

it was good, but definitely not anywhere near the 'best movie in years.'

also i found it extremely predictable

Well it's not a typical Tom Hanks roll at least.

 

[Red Dawn]

Is Meg Ryan in it??..No. It should be good then🙂

It's not that far off, either. Sure, his title in the movie is Mob Enforcer, but he never does anything bad on-screen. Well, anything unjustifiable anyway, as killing people is generally considered bad.

as with the best picture in years...if u compare it to "Best Picture" of the last 6 years i'd say its #1...(A beautiful mind, gladiator, american beauty, shakespeare in love, titanic, and the english patient)

How's it compare to Forrest Gump?

i dont think you can really compare these two movies.

also i found it extremely predictable

I thought so too, like when Conner gives Micheal that letter to deliver, you knew what to expect.

all in all i thought it was the best movie i have seen in a recent memorey.. i saw it yesterday, might see it agian. i would definatley recomened it, 4/5 stars.

The storyline was rather predictable, but the acting, IMO, was incredible.

Sure you can. Which Movie was a better experience?

Maybe I have no taste but I really regret paying to see it in a theater. I couldn't justify paying a few bucks to rent it either.
Perhaps I was expecting too much, but I walked away very disappointed.

 

[LH]

Its by far the best movie of this year. Although thats really not saying much.

 

[datalink7]

I thought it was a good movie. A bit predicatble though. I knew exactly what was going to happen in the end as soon as he walked in the house. I also knew exactly what his sons last line was going to be "he was my fater." No joke, I whispered it to a friend before it was said.

But overall it was good and worth seeing. But I thought Minority Report was a better movie.

I honestly didn't expect that. I guess I thought he and Rooney were too "tight" for him to do that...
