yes sound good.

Hated the movie. The vapid, useless ending brought nothing to the table. I do see though, that as a novel, this could have been good. But as a movie? All pointless. Each death has no meaning. And finally, the hero's death only angers the viewer. What worth is it? What's the difference than if they all died in the initial crash? You just sit there and watch men being slowly tortured and die one by on with no hope. When the last one dies, I was angered. It was all hopeless. No meaning. With the novel I imagine you hear the musings of the hero in depth and find some growth in him, but the move showed very little of this and I felt he was only changed minorly(sp?), not nearly enough for the useless death.

  Vapid ending?
  He struggled and didn't succeed. That's a realistic scenario. It isn't a Hollywood typical film, that I'll grant you. When you're facing sure death, that's when your true character emerges.

    There's a scene inserted that suggests that Neeson may have survived the fight.
    
    I thought it was a pretty good flick, actually.

I'm going to re-visit The Master when it comes out on BD - Road Warrior 10:51:15 01/02/13 (1)
as I was put off by the first viewing. There were some memorable parts however with great acting and perhaps it'll gain stature on a second viewing. As for The Grey... meh. I kinda thought Wes Anderson hit, if not a home run, a solid triple with Moonrise Kingdom.

A pox on his family and 100 years of bad luck for the inventor of "Intelligent Touchpads" for laptops!!!
- I really liked Moonrise Kigndom, not sure I'll ever bother watching any of the others ..nt - late 05:42:42 01/05/13 (0)
