You gotta see it again... trust me.

Posted by: TheWeekendWarrior on Sep 17, 07:02 in response to Ruthian23's post I actually liked it quite a bit. Not as much as I was...

The thing is that the movie is so different from anything else we've seen--sure, one can make comparisons to Kubrick or Lynch or Cronenberg--that you have to adjust to the change in pace and tone the first time you watch it. The second time, knowing what to expect, you can appreciate the artisty much more.Ā 

So what's up with the hate on Drive? 93% from critics and 88% from movie goers on Rotten Tomatoes Juiced Sep 17, 06:32

Rottentomatoes isn't really the average moviegoer. It's more in line with IMDB users, the type that would fall in line with critics {nm} HarryWarden Sep 17, 06:35

I actually liked it quite a bit. Not as much as I was hoping I might based on the reviews, but... Ruthian23 Sep 17, 06:49

I'll likely do that when it comes out on DVD or HBO. {nm} Ruthian23 Sep 17, 07:05

I never considered IMDB as a source to fall in line with critics... SakowskyBrothers Sep 17, 07:06

To be honest... Drive is the best movie of this year. {nm} bapi Sep 17, 07:10

Looks to me judging by the comments that the film embraces the current trend of foreign "slow cinema" mixed with graphic brutality... SakowskyBrothers Sep 17, 07:15

Maybe it's just the right type of fresh air the box office needs. {nm} SakowskyBrothers Sep 17, 07:19

Because it's a pretentious mess (spoilers), if the entire movie was like the first heist it would have been great ceregon Sep 17, 07:21

Writing "spoiler alert" in the heading of your post might've been nice (not that I was going to see it anyway, but still...) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Sep 17, 08:14

He said spoilers, but I read it on accident anyway. Fcuk! Still going to see it anyway, sounds even more intriguing now. {nm} SakowskyBrothers Sep 17, 08:21

Comments like this are why I hardly post here anymore. Thanks for reminding me. {nm} ceregon Sep 17, 08:51

I missed it when I read it. I'm sorry. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Sep 17, 11:05

so I guess when he said (spoilers) he should have spelled it out for you....oh.... {nm} Anniebecca Sep 17, 09:06

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Sep 17, 11:06
