Some of the acting was eh...but once you over look that the movie really picks up. I will say it does have cliche characters in it. Like the young guy, the risk taker, the torture leader type of stuff. But it was an ok movie. I enjoyed it.Wolfcastle said:Anybody seen this yet? I'm going next week. On student discount nightI'm broke. I hope it does well and has a good opening weekend.
That's what I was hearing, about the cliche characters. An alcoholic and some guy that didn't like being called chickenslimklp said:Some of the acting was eh...but once you over look that the movie really picks up.

Yeah exactly. But if you can overlook that it's pretty cool. Only thing i really didn't like was the transitions between scenes. It never felt natural, it just switch from one scene to something totally different, it had a really jolted effect. ALso 95% of the planes on and off the ground was damn CGI, kinda disappointing.Wolfcastle said:That's what I was hearing, about the cliche characters.

I think it has more to do with Hollywood thinking that an all black cast will not get as many viewers as an all white cast would. That doesnt mean that they are racist but instead that they are aware of the racism of the viewers. That said i think hollywood is right in this. It would certainly be a bigger movie if the cast had a white cast. I dont want to go into why i think this because i know some retard will think im being racist just because im talking about it.dorian_j said:Yeah. He suggested it when he was on The Daily Show last week, and I don't see why it wouldn't be true. Hollywood is still full of shit and racist as hell. I'm glad someone like George Lucas is speaking about it and bringing the much needed attention to that issue.
Torture leader?? not sure what character that is. You mean like the leader that is good but tortures his crew to make them better???slimklp said:Some of the acting was eh...but once you over look that the movie really picks up.

Sounds like him not being able to find funding for the movie affected it a good amount. Kind of reminds me of G.I Joe the movie. That had pretty horrid CGI. Made me sad because i certainly think the Joes deserve a bigger funding then they got.slimklp said:Yeah exactly. But if you can overlook that it's pretty cool.

I agree. The planes still looked great but it wou;d've have been great to have real ones.SideWays408 said:Sounds like him not being able to find funding for the movie affected it a good amount.

Interesting. So, with your logic we will never get a blockbuster movie with an all black cast, just because some people aren't ready for this. Yes, Hollywood might be aware of racism among the audiences, but that doesn't mean they're helping to fight the issue by not making more films where all the stereotypes are being discarded. Hollywood is at blame for this too. Let's not act like they're innocent. It's not like those films or certain scene will cause riots. This is not the early 1960s. It's 2012, so let's try to change the mindsets a bit. Instead of living in the past, let's try to make a step into the future. That's all I'm saying.SideWays408 said:I think it has more to do with Hollywood thinking that an all black cast will not get as many viewers as an all white cast would.

For instance you remember the movie "Hancock"??? well the reason there is a scene cut when Will Smith goes to kiss the white girl before she throws him revealing her power is because during the pre screen viewing the white viewers where grossed out that a black man is kissing a white women. So hollywood cut the scene to please the white viewers. Its messed up but its still a reality in alot of places. I personally am a white straight male and i can honestly say i think Will Smith is a stud and he can kiss any women except fat/ugly ones and i wont be disgusted.
Logic isnt the correct term for this. Im not solving an equation or something. Im pointing out what the facts of race in hollywood is.dorian_j said:Interesting.
