Critically panned films you thoroughly enjoyed

[quote=“count of monte cristo, post: 901771, member: 348”]Maybe if your sole intention in watching it was to garner the information re the protagonist but to develop all the characters it would be hard done in a half hour.

5 mins to introduce character
5 mins to have him kidnapped
5 mins to show him at first plantation
5 mins to have him transported to fassbender’s plantation
5 mins to show struggles with Fassbender
5 min to show his salvation and reunion with family

It would see a little rushed.[/quote]

Thanks a fucking bunch

Youre fucking welcome.

Ah for fuck sake!!! Sake!!

Ban that cunt. Ban him now.

What exactly was @Mac expecting from a Steve McQueen directed film?

Something more enlightening

Why?

its a hollywood production surely people didn`t expect a sad ending

im what way am i being hypocritical kev?
i stated the film was boring

I take it you didn’t like titanic then pal ?..:popcorn:

no pun intended…

12 years a slave is a good film. Bar the Brad Pitt preachy bit, I thought it captured the horrors of slavery well. The every day mundane existence (if you can call hard labour that) yet hinged on the threat of violence exploding at any minute. It also tried to show the mechanisms in place that stopped a black majority from revolting- and the total despair in being separated from family as so many were. It’s a slow burner but the story isn’t about him getting out of it- It was the portrayal of the everyday life of a slave… But Transformer fans like @Mac want all flash and thunder.

Speaking of, the dinobots are going to be in Transformers 4. I can’t wait. I fucking love transformers.

Was it Farmer or Clarkeycat that complained about there being a scene in Hunger which showed the Warder sweeping piss off the floor for being self indulgent and too long winded

Apart from the bit with the boobies

I knew the ending before i saw it so it was ruined for me…

No wonder you usually skip Dublin hurling games

The acting was brutal. Sickening what passes off the days. Fasbender was out of his depth. Pitt snailing in at the end as the hero type. It was shit and a major disappointment.

I should have mentioned this earlier, but the your are both in the wrong thread.
