not kidding... all the actions sequences are in the ad, the ad portrays one movie and it turns out quite different. i wasn't impressed just like the film he was in before that that happiness one it sucked too... his movies are getting worse by the years.

You must want some pretty shallow movie experiences, but besides that... this is a trailer for the movie:

Roughly a minute and a half out of two and a half minutes is dedicated to showing you just how "mundane" everyday life is then. I mean it says such keywords as "wait." Then a minute is showing you those action sequences that you desire so bad. But the trailer definitely doesn't mislead at all. It doesn't tell you "THIS MOVIE TAKES PLACE AT NIGHT ALL THE TIME, THIS MOVIE IS FULL OF ACTION."




Now mind you, I'm not arguing your personal taste because nobody can do that. One's entitled to hate/love what they want, but the advertisement for it is pretty right on with what you get. Not to mention you missed the point of the movie.

And the Pursuit of Happyness was a pretty well crafted tale of the struggles that a father and son face. I saw it and was surprised by it. But if you just want action and jump scares in movies then well... obviously you aren't the audience.

I seem to remember I am Legend taking place in 2012....and New York kinda died.....ummm 2012? ring a bell anyone?

lol obdurate... say what you want... i feel it was a very misleading... and found the film very disappointing.. wasn't at all what i expected and no i don't want all action movies or jump films.. just wasn't what the advertisement lead you to believe your getting... and there are more than one trailer for movies... but regardless your always right.. its okay.

and pursuit of happiness was not what the trailor lead you to believe either i thought there would be alot more father son situations and it was basically his business life... so i suppose i read the trailer wrong on that.. along with several other people that were very disappointed as well.

Edit: Nevermind. What's the point? You aren't going to get it anyways. So this is the only part of my original post that remains:



Can you give me a list of some of your favourite movies?

i get everything you said just fine... i still don't like the movie... i know what its about... just didn't like it... must you always try to persuade someone into viewing things from you point of view? its pretty apparent we see things totally different. you need not explain the ins and out the movie... i saw it and i get what its about... i am legend and pursuit of happiness... i still didn't like them i feel the ads were misleading... you may not agree so we can agree to disagree.

as far as movies i like... god i could go on all day listing movies i can't pin point a particular one... cause another will pop in my head thats just as good but in a different way. and why should i even bother complying with your wish... so you can pick a part the most recent titles that come to my mind and instantly assume im an
"THIS MOVIE TAKES PLACE AT NIGHT ALL THE TIME, THIS MOVIE IS FULL OF ACTION." person? right like i'd give you the enjoyment...

You try to make people see your point of view everytime you post so don't go there.
I'm not trying to make you LIKE the movies. I said above that you can like or dislike what you want. I don't care what movies you like.

Debates happen once someone goes beyond "I like this" or "I don't like this" and try to give reasons why. They you can start to criticize an opinion. I deleted a lot out of my last post but since you're being thick, here you go:

Your reasoning that you have given to backup why you disliked the movies is dumb. What did you think I Am Legend would be about? A guy killing vampire type things for an hour and a half? There's an obvious attempt at making a story and it's apparent in the trailers.
What did you think the Pursuit of Happyness (spelled with a y, btw) would be about? Father and son sitting around bitching about being poor? Yeah that would sell. Trying to get a job to support his son is the THEME OF THE MOVIE. It didn't pretend to be anything but that.

Use some common sense.

You can't even adapt to a movie when watching it. It's stupid to use "well it was advertised wrong" as a reason for disliking something. The movie didn't advertise itself. Experience the movie as it's meant to be experienced. Forget the fucking marketing campaign for ANYTHING and judge stuff on their own merits.
Oh well it wasn't what I was expecting. Can't you see how ignorant that is?

If you would have given an actual reason this wouldn't have happened. I just wanted to tell you that the trailer doesn't mislead.


For the record, I just wanted to know what your favourite movies are, but you appear to be really scared for some odd reason. I get no enjoyment from you.

Here's an example of a post that would have gotten a free pass:
I didn't like this movie. It didn't appeal to me. I like more action in my movies.

Who can argue that?

And I'm done with this. You feel like replying? Either PM me or think again. Quit shittin' up my thread.




So I just watched The Devil's Eye. Bergman is a legend, no doubts about that. This was his attempt at a comedy though I saw it as more of a drama with comedy elements. There were some parts that made me chuckle. As always, direction is top notch. That is why this guy is widely seen as one of the greatest directors of all time. I didn't like this movie nearly as much as Persona but this is still worth a watch.

i don't need to shit up your threads you do a good enough job of that yourself... and the truth is the reason i didn't like the movie is because i felt it was very misleading... you want me to tell you i didn't like it cause i like more action or whatever and thats not the case... the movie trailer or pursuit of HAPPYNESS (spelt with a Y) was all about a relationship between a father and son, and the hardships they went through... the movie itself was quite different in my opinion it didn't focus on what the ad's were focusing on to bring people to watch the movie... this is why i didn't like it... yes it was a good movie... but it wasn't what i expected... and alot of other people feel the same way not just me... i've posted about this in another thread on this forum... movies these days are all based on getting that initial first day sales so they are going to show you what they think will get you in to see the movie... why do you initially want to go see a movie, cause you see the advertisement think it will be good... and then it turns out to be something completely different...

I am legend.. ya you see the short sniplet trailers on tv and you think oh another zombie movie.. you get there and its very different than what you expect... not saying the movie was terrible it was good in its own respect i just didn't enjoy it... first 30 to 45 mins i nearly fell asleep... it didn't keep my attention... i kept waiting for it to get to the point were some friggin thing jumped out of no were and started attacking people cause thats what the commercials and ad's lead you to believe it was. so naturally ya i was a little disappointed...

opinions are like asshole.. everyone has one.. yours just tends to be a bit wider than others.

lol I saw you had a big reply to me but honestly I didn't even read the post cuz I told you if you wanted to continue this you could do it on a PM, so you do it there AND here! Then you think I'M angry!

dun dun dun... wow i have an im... guess who its from...
