I will re-read your comments today. Positive reactions were common to this film, although on imdb there are quite a few people with reactions similar to mine. I usually read those only after viewing the film, but if you take a look, you will know what I mean.
Follow Ups:
Well on this film like on " Lost " it goes from very good to very bad.
I can not accuse the small pace of this film because of your temperament, as being some one who did get through " Solaris "...You should have been immune...Hehe.
M & C is very enjoyable for me even if real developments are missing.
BTW in France it has been very well recieved even from the " Cahiers " which, of course, do not make it better, I only wanted to mentionned that.
I am sorry but I reaaly thought you may have some fun out of it.PS: Forget every thing I said about " Lost " don´t look at it...Hehe
Of course the slow pace didn't bother me, IN ITSELF. Problem was what filled it was not too well done. In Solaris it was important, here you felt they had to fill the gaps.Let me clarify my reaction - I was more upset because I was expecting more, not because of the absulute merit of the film.
On its own it is a solid and highly professional work, albeit boring. I was simply expecting more, so perhaps my judgement was colored by this fact.
It is certainly good that film was made, and it is much better than perhaps 98% of films we get each year. It's just that it didn't have the grab.
Too late on Lost... it is already in the plan! :-( Shake in your boots!
Well I was teasing you with " Solaris "..( hehe remember ) I would be not foolish enough to compare both of them...Even I still have to do my home work and have to re-watch it.
I can understand why you did it find boring, it just failed to attract your attention, and I thought it would as it did for me.
But in the end I see it like you do, 98 % ....is more I would tell!PS: I am shaking....But " Lost " is really a good film, on a scale of ten for Hollywoodian´s films it would get a two " Master " a four.
From what I know about it it will probably score higher. Remember - I watched a part of it, so you can't fool me 100%! Only about 70%.If most Hollywood films were of the Master or Lost caliber life would be so much more pleasant.
An eight and a six for Master! Sorry I used the German way of thinking! ( a one is very good and a five is the worst )
