Dude, no offense, but it was based on a graphic novel and stayed damn close to the original material. People who ignore this and act as if the idea cam eout of nowhere are ill informed to begin with. That movie and Sin-City deserve all of the credit they got for staying true to the source material.

Word. This is why I loved Casino Royale. It is damn near word for word Ian Flemming’s novel. I now what them to remake the rest of the movies based off the books and do the James Bond series justice.

Citizen Kane - Rosebud my ass.
LOL
I’d like to know how many people who consider themselves ‘movie buffs’ have actually sat through the entirety of Citizen Kane, which is supposed to be the epitome of cinema.
I have, and yeah, that shit sucks. Just a totally different time, I suppose…
That is my favorite movie. Then again, knowing the history of the flick and of Orson Wells, adds to my appreciation. BTW, I don’t consider myself a movie buff.
Star Wars Ep1 was the worst cinematic letdown of all time. Only Matrix 2 and 3 can begin to compare.[/quote]
Thanks for backing up Citizen Kane. I have a deep appreciation for this movie after studying it in film class in college.

Casino Royale was not a great movie because they followed the original so well. It took place in current time. That was nothing like the original.
It was a great movie because of great acting and production. There was an entire new production to make this movie. It is one of my favorite movies but not because it “followed the script.”
There is this book about a piece of dog shit in someones yard. The movie actually follows the book to the word. Sadly it is still a movie about a piece of dog shit and wether it was following the book does not matter because the book or whatever sucked to begin with.
I don’t understand how anyone can call Pulp Fiction over-hyped. Every time I watch it my appreciation for how truly good it is, top to bottom, grows. I’ve seen it at least twice a year every year since it dropped in '94. I’m 26. Do the math.
I am a little surprised that some douche bag hasnt come on here yet and said that Iron Man was crap. Its a good thing b/c that person would need to die.

Iron Man did not get that much hype imo. I didn’t even know it was coming out for a while.
It seems like it got some good reviews too. I may just see it now.

I couldnt turn the TV on and not see a preview. Even Colbert talked about it
