i'm not going to attempt to make a rebuttal against this statement due to the fact he just drops the statement "overrated" without backing up his words. You have to give us clear examples why you think he is the way he is. |
Look at Too Fast. Too Furious. That scene with all of those cars racing down the road is just ing cool because they're all tricked out n' . Plus, I'm pretty sure not a single Jew was involved in making that movie. I don't know that for a fact, but how many Jews do you know who drive around in cars with nitrous kits? |

This sounds like my brother talking to me. I tell him Transformers is terrible, he says some movie I love is terrible. I compare movies like music. Commercial crap vs movies with a good story and actors.
Overabundant explosions, rapper actors, wrestling actors, ryan reynolds, etc. does not make a good movie.
Some of the movies I have ended up enjoying the most have almost little to no promotion.
P.S. Lol at Hollywood crying broke when they keep on writing checks for awful movies. I pirate everything except the few movies I feel deserve my money. Don't get me started on this stupid 3D trend. I'm looking at you George Lucas, shame on you for re-releasing "The Phantom Menace" in 3D. |

| at least GoSpeedGo expresses his thoughts deeply when he keeps pounding us with his "Sucker Punch is one of the best films of 2011" statements. Sure we don't share the same opinions as he does in regards to the film, at least he's able to back up his words. I respect him for it. |

Apparently you don't know the difference between a movie and a film.
Edit: That goes to OP too. |

starting from Paths of Glory to his last film Eyes Wide Shut, they are all very good movies, and do belong in the top 3% movies of all time.
Paths of Glory
Spartacus
Lolita
Dr Strangelove
2001
A Clockwork Orange
Barry Lyndon
The Shining
Full Metal Jacket
Eyes Wide Shut
none of these movies are misses. |

Honestly, what do you guys see that is so good about him? He is total and when I am not stoned. I cannot help but laugh at almost all of the dialogue and scenes. What a ty writer and director. I can't help but think the only reason people think he is any good is because of the thousands of idiots that view him as a God. Add to that the fact he is a Jew and almost everyone involved in the Hollywood business is a Jew. Well you see where that is going.
I can't help but think of how pathetic the guy's movies were. |
lol, you're an idiot |

It's funny though; if you read some of the reviews of 2001 from when it came out, the film wasn't recieved well at all. It was quite divisive and it took time before the film got proper recognition.
When you look at what happened with Tree of Life last year, it was similar. I also have this romantic fantasy that in 10 to 20 years, Speed Racer will be recognized as one of the milestones of cinema, along with Citizen Kane or Space Odyssey. |
