[QUOTE="melon, post: 229302"] I saw ROCKNROLLA at the movies last night. Relatively good, but Guy Ritchie tried to make it too much like [i]Snatch[/i] and [i]Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels[/i][i]. [/i]Whether or not this was the intended purpose, I don't know, but what I do know is that this third installment isn't of the same calibre of the other two. The characters are menacing and interesting but don't quite have the "X Factor" of the previous movies' ones. All in all, in every facet of the film, RockNRolla is a 3/4 movie. Its 3/4 of what its supposed to be. That final 1/4 means a lot too. In terms of movie viewing at home I saw [i]The Dark Knight [/i]and [i]Tropic Thunder[/i]. Seeing as though Harvery Two face came to existance, I'm guessing there's another movie in the woodwork? Heath Ledger was brilliant! Its a shame the movie didn't have a higher restrictive rating because if the Joker partook in more graphic violence for the audience to see, I think he'd certainly go down as one of the most menacing characters of all time. [i]Tropic Thunder [/i]certainly had it's hilarious moments, but its potential to become a cult film has failed...thats my take on it anyway. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (jawmalawm24 @ Nov 1 2008, 01:48 AM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=357197']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> Sometime next year? My bet would be Halloween next year. Just a wild guess though :P [/QUOTE]
