Abrams must not have dropped a C note in Eberts pocket at the viewing

 

Oh give me a break. I don't think people appreciate how good of a movie reviewer Ebert is. You won't come across it from his stupid star reviews or his TV show, but his writing is phenomenal. Even in movies he doesn't like he explains why he didn't like it and what was to like, or what people could take away liking from it. And he's a great writer. His actual newspaper reviews speak very eloquently about a film in a way a review should work, helping people decide whether to see it or not. He's had reviews where clearly he was not thrilled about, but written in a way that I knew I could like it. I love ebert.

Read it. Notice the difference between a movie blogger's snarkiness and Ebert. Even as he continues his tangent about the implausibility of the science, he ties it into how it works as a lazy plot device. But more than that, he realizes that other people could see his hanging onto the science of a science FICTION movie as frivilous and acknowledges it. He doesn't rail into the film for railings sake over something many might not give a s*** about. Edited following sentence: To find the absence of righteous indignation in movie review's nowadays is refreshing. "Look at how many way's I can say this movie sucks!"

Well Balta? I know you went to a midnight viewing

Actually no...movie viewing isn't exactly something that is in my budget right now, no matter what film it is.

I appreciate him just fine. Take a chill pill, it was a joke. I have never gone out of my way to criticize his reviews in any way shape or fashion, and I used to tune in to Siskel and Ebert/Ebert and Roeper at the movies growing up on WGN. I know how he writes and think he has been a great writer for his entire career.

 

 

I will go back and put my comment in green so you can pull your wedgie out

Can Bay ruin it even more?

I didnt think it was ruined in the first round, but whatever. Awesome action and corny dialogue, I will take it

Forced to watch "Yes, Man" today. Just a terrible, terrible movie.

I have never been a Star Trek fan. I have never seen an entire episode of any Star Trek series. I have never seen a Star Trek movie.

 

J.J. Abrams' Star Trek was beyond enjoyable. It was one of the best movies I have ever seen.

The way they incorporated Leonard Nimoy was beyond brilliant.

 

I implore all non-fans of the series to check this out... it's awesome. Those of you who are, I presume you'll be putting the pants you s*** in in the washing machine when you return.

 

What an awesome movie.

I actually thought the first one worked better as a comedy then as an action movie. Still enjoyed it though.

same. I watched an episode of each series here and there....never was a fan of the show. Went to watch the movie, and I got to say it's the best movie I've seen released this year.

Wow I guess I will see it then.

I knew Star Trek was going to be good as soon as i saw the creative team that was working on it. Seeing it on monday, loving the reviews.

This is how I am regarding Star Trek. I've never seen an episode of the show, but when I saw the trailer for this new movie, I kind of thought it looked good. Glad to hear it's worth seeing even for someone that knows nothing about Star Trek.

I'm convinced to go see it now as well

Looks like it shot past The Dark Knight in opening weekend money. Yowza.

Star Trek didn't even make half of what the Dark Knight did in its opening weekend.

They even fixed that in a line in the film. They say something to the effect of, "the bonding process has not completed". It's an easy fix, so i don't mind it. What they did with

Wade Was basically a round about way of doing what they did with him in the comics. Weapon X, terrible experimentations, healing factor, powers, scarring.

 

Yeah, the only thing I can think of is he wasn't ready to go yet that's why he looked the way he did.

I missed a part of the article - it beat DK in IMAX.

steve was right about Star Trek...I always used to hate anything trekky but that movie was freaking awesome.

 

I knew there was going to be some traveling through TIME and space but the time kinda confused a brother in some spots.

 

But this was my favorite movie so far this year.

P.S. Can somebody teach me how to embed videos here?

P.S. Can somebody teach me how to embed videos here?

Hopefully I can explain this easily... Sorry if it's confusing.

 

1) Take the "embed" link from the video, and copy & paste it into your post.

2) Change "Post Options" from "HTML Off" to "HTML On - Auto Linebreak Mode"

- "post options" is located under this text box, but above the optional post icons --> shouldn't be hard to find

 

Then you're done. Just add your reply.

 

 

It worked! I will buy you a box of cookies.
