Vantage Point

[That Swan]

I just saw it yesterday after i have been waiting to see this and i enjoyed watching it, its probably going to be like you love it or you don't.

Spoiler

I had no clue the movie was going to be set up the way it was with flashbacks basically showing every person's point of view until the end where it panned out and played like a regular movie. My friends and i also saw NEXT together with Nicholas Cage and they all hated the way it was set up with his vision of the explosion so they where flipping out but we all ended up liking Vantage Point except for one who literally hates movies

I think it looks good. I definitely interested in seeing it at some point.

Same here, a couple of friends said it was horrible.

Re: Vantage Point

I saw it last night and thought it was pretty damn good. I like movies that are stylized like that. I really do. I'd be curious to find out what people don't like about it.

Re: Vantage Point

Rashoman (sp?) style movies are either "love it or hate it". I think the movie looks darn good and will see it ASAP.

Re: Vantage Point

I saw it yesterday I thought it was a lazy excuse for film making. The idea of showing different vantage points was good idea but they just didn't convey it the right way imo.

I also so saw Be Kind Rewind this morning! Loved it but no suprise there he is a master film maker.

Re: Vantage Point

I saw it last night and thought it was good, but not great. I liked the different style and thought it was well executed, not just a gimmick. It reminded me a little of an episode of "24" in the way it was shot and like "24" it takes a little suspension of belief and patience to fully enjoy.

I was worried that the trailer gave away too much (like many people were), but rest assured that it really didn't. As it has already been said, some will really enjoy the style and intricacies while others might find certain aspects of the style frustrating (you'll see what I mean). Personally I enjoyed it and found it entertaining for the money and worth seeing once.

Re: Vantage Point

Seeing it tonight. Definitely looks to be good but I also heard it was really bad. I'll form my own opinion.

Re: Vantage Point

I thought it was just Okay at best. They abandoned the whole different vantage points gimmick halfway through, so it just turned into an average action movie.

Re: Vantage Point

It reminded me of that show that was on NBC for half a season "boomtown"

Re: Vantage Point

Got a chance to see it last night and I thought it was pretty good. Not a movie you absolutely, must see, but a good movie that has all the pieces of the puzzle fit at the end. I'm not huge movie guy though. I go see one once every couple of months.

Re: Vantage Point

Saw it yesterday. I should have listened to the reviews. Wow that sucked.

It felt like some jerk-off watched the Bourne movies, and then made a ****ty rip off.

Re: Vantage Point

Is it a plausible plot? It just seems like this type of story would be too easy to poke holes in. Plus, I judge PG-13 movies too harshly - especially with subject matter of this type. This movie would benefit from an R-rating. I understand the wanting of a PG-13 rating, but I think it always does a disservice to the movie. I personally like R-rated movies much more than PG-13 movies.
