  1. Oh hell yeah!! This finally came to theaters by me and I saw it Friday night with a few friends and holy shit was it awesome! I'm always skeptical when I read reviews like best (action) movie in years and some of the best choreographed fight scenes you'll ever see, etc. but by god they were right! The main fights in the hallways, the meth lab brawl, the flyin backwards neck into broken door move (I loved that!) and the 3-way finale fight...I just can't say enough awesome things about that 3-way battle with mad dog at the end...it's simply one of the best fight scenes I've ever seen. And I even have to give props to the story, acting and directing. Normally I could give two shits about the story in some of my recent favorite action/martial arts movies (what's that Tony Jaa, someone took your elephant? I don't give a shit just go break some more bones, kick some more people's asses and put some more stunt doubles in the hospital please!), but with this it actually builds a decent story up in the beginning and the initial raid of the building with the suspense of the spotters and lights out shotgun blast was done well and was suspenseful...as was the scene when they were hiding in the wall.Anyway, I definitely plan on catching it again in theaters (probably with another group of friends as I spread the word) but for anyone who likes action movies go see this right now!A-, 9/10

  2. Yeah, Mojo says like +650 theaters I think.I am about to go to work and I am hoping our booking agent will give it to us. It is such a freaking sick movie.

    Yup, a few theaters by me have it now and I saw it on Friday and it was awesome! One of the best action movies I've seen in a while...some of the fight scenes were flat out amazing!
  3. THG brainwashed everyone to think it was something it isn't. There isn't one original thought in that movie. It's all borrow from other works. At least Twilight is original and it tries. THG is lazy and plagiarizes every story it could find. lol...I'm gone for real now...I expect to get back and see this with 20 pages, all of them attacking Twilight. lolololol

    You should at least take some solace in knowing THG's success as a movie is almost entirely from its perfect timing at the books height of popularity...it's not a success because of the movie itself, but from its fans and the book (same as twilight though).
  4. Well, I'm going for the day...thank god i have a funeral to go to today. It would be unbearable around here with THG falling so little.But just know that THG is one of the worst films to come out this year. It was incompetently directed, poorly written, amateurishly photographed and the only good thing about it is some of the acting. But it's rushed, makes no sense to those of us who have not read the books and it's just flat out a mess. Twilight, Shrek, Transformer and most other 300 mill films are at least well made and entertaining. This piece of crap is just hogwash. Enjoy your day and your crappy movie.

    A funeral on Easter? Ugh, that sucks.
  5. THG as a film was actually quite bad. I get that it has a loyal following with the books, but the film was rushed, uninteresting, amateurish and it was nothing like I heard about based on the story in the books. So yes, this disappoints me that it is doing so well.

    I agree with this, the book was so much more engaging and better than the movie, which was ok, but could have been so much better. THG is a success because of the book/its fans, not the quality of the movie. Which twilight is most guilty of (success from fans, not quality).
