Movies

No, it stunk but at least it was trying to be edgy {nm}

Posted by: HarryWarden on Sep 29, 11:04 in response to TheWeekendWarrior's post And that's probably the worst movie of Jackman's career.....

As usual, Harry Warden was wrong... Real Steel was great! A real crowdpleaser! TheWeekendWarrior Sep 29, 09:58

But can it open 30+? In these times? {nm} theycallmediddy Sep 29, 10:15

Well, if it was renamed to RockEm SockEm and featured DD boobs and gore, then yes. Apparently. Or something. {nm} Paul2k Sep 29, 10:21

No, it's good because it's a very light PG-13 and kids will love it {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 29, 10:28

I was trying my HarryWarden impression there...not bombastic enough? {nm} Paul2k Sep 29, 10:34

Weinstein Company needs to hire him to market Piranha 3DD (as if they haven't already) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 29, 10:38

I thought it was a good impression... {nm} Rocket Sep 29, 14:50

But you're not a kid so why did you like it? {nm} HarryWarden Sep 29, 10:50

Because there are many more moviegoers who prefer lighter and more innocent fare than dark and violent R-rated movies. TheWeekendWarrior Sep 29, 10:54

Not every R-rated film is dark. Hell, not every horror film is dark. PIRA2 being one example. {nm} HarryWarden Sep 29, 10:55

That's the question! :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 29, 10:27

Glad you had fun with your cheesy, pseudo-uplifting family crap. Don't forget to buy all the associated merchandise while you're at it {nm} HarryWarden Sep 29, 10:40

If they were selling Noisy Boy or Zeus toys outside my screening, I would have bought them. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 29, 10:41

Wake me up when Hugh Jackman actually seems like he cares about making a movie that pushes at least one envelope and isn't in it for the $ {nm} HarryWarden Sep 29, 10:43

Recently, Hugh Jackman took edgier roles in "The Fountain ", "Scoop", "The Prestige" and "Deception" {nm} Peterlee Sep 29, 10:54

Remind me how much he got paid for this and X-Men Origins, which he's making a sequel to purely for the money {nm} HarryWarden Sep 29, 10:56

There is nothing wrong to star in mainstream blockbusters for money. Afterall, actors need money to live and support their family. {nm} Peterlee Sep 29, 11:00

Puhleeze. They make more than enough money with one movie that they could do one for the $ and live off that forever if they spent wisely {nm} HarryWarden Sep 29, 11:01

Still, it is nothing wrong for Jackman to get more money to support his family to live better. (especially he has two adopted children) {nm} Peterlee Sep 29, 11:11

'families' , not 'family' {nm} Peterlee Sep 29, 11:01

Deception was the only one of those that was actually edgy {nm} HarryWarden Sep 29, 10:59

And that's probably the worst movie of Jackman's career.. please don't tell me you liked it. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 29, 11:03

No, it stunk but at least it was trying to be edgy HarryWarden Sep 29, 11:04

The film isn't successful, but it is Jackman's honourable effort for trying to do something different {nm} Peterlee Sep 29, 11:05

Wow. You couldn't be more wrong about Jackman. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 29, 10:55

The best X-Men movie was the one in which Jackman only had a cameo {nm} HarryWarden Sep 29, 11:05

So: A couple questions: 1. It's a kid's movie? Trailers didn't indicate that. 2. Why do the trailers make it look like such a train wreck? {nm} goodvibe61 Sep 29, 16:16
