The ''Last Movie You Watched'' Thread

Funny Games - urrrrrrggh stinking pile of shit, and I like Tim Roth. Slow as constipation and twice as painful to watch.

Tim Roth's American accent made me cringe: if you can't do it, then just be a British guy in America. In the scene where he calls the police he was focusing more on acting scared than his accent and it's literally horrendous. Minus points right off the bat.

You can see the director tried really hard to make a revolutionary movie, even going so far as to say "it's not a horror movie, but a social commentary about violence in the media". What a load of pretentious wank. Everything reeked of being overdone, like the constant breaking the fourth wall, the prolonged set-up with the wannabe Tarantino realistic dialogue, the long still shots later in the flick, it was all unnecessary and felt like it was shoehorned in. And oh god, don't get me started on the rewind scene, fucking hell. Any interest I had in the movie crashed and burned after that.

It was boring. Dull, dull, dull. I didn't give a shit if the family lived or died. Oh, and brilliant use of cinematography: whenever something violent happened, 90% of the time it was off camera, with the focus being on someone else's terrified face. Even the premise was limp: I was expecting a bunch of torturous and sadistic games to last all night, not just Naomi Watts getting naked and then an eeny-meeny to decide who dies. That's it? Way to have nothing of real substance whatsoever in your movie.

Also, I'm well aware that it's a remake of a German movie of the same name, but since the American version is a shot-for-shot adaptation by the same director, I think it's safe to level the same criticisms against both of them. Never watch this, ever.

VERDICT?

Zombieland.

Gave me the Meh pretty much throughout. Not funny enough to be a funny movie. Not scary enough to be a scary movie. Not bad enough to be a bad movie. Not good enough to be a good movie.

Solid 6.5/10
