sheepyvillian Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I watched the first Rurouni Kenshin film. No as good, imo, as the film where you're told of the beginning of the legend that is Kenshin, but still a good couple of enjoyable hours. When it comes to filming sword fighting the Japanese are most certainly the bees - knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kind of opens a portal up now for future films, how about one set in feudal Japan? Etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etc That's the rumour and I would love that The more I thought about it over the weekend the more I'm sure the film does have some depth Spoiler I think they do a good job of saying the Predator is crazy powerful and skilled but at the same time also like a juvenile on trial, the wolf injured him, the bear injured him, so do the trappers then the brother And then ultimately she wins because she learns about him but he doesn't learn about her Maybe also something about the trappers from the modern world almost being cartoonish bafoons but at the same time it is modern technology that sees her through, that might be a stretch though Its put me in the mood for last of the mohicans that's for sure, love that film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still find myself imploring Neil to please leave it alone. I guess some itches just demand to be scratched. I loved it when I watched it back in 2007 and rewatched it this Christmas. I actually thought this time that it had aged so badly and came across as stupid. Al Pacino is the worst cop—the amount of destruction he's directly responsible for is crazy. And then he's portrayed as some kind of god cop who can do no wrong in the dialogue—but it's so unsubtle. His scenes with his wife I remember as being pretty embarrasing. The script tries so hard to make him out to be the hero, but it seemed so forced. I have loved Michael Mann as a director and still really rate Manhunter, and I know Mann's style isn't ever subtle, but I think I'll leave Heat to the past unfortunately.

But after all, it is 30 years old! At the time it was cutting edge stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the trick is not to watch it a third time. It's other moments in the film that I like, such as the ex con trying to go straight as a grill chef and having to endure endless abuse at the hands of his boss, but being told by his girlfriend that she is so proud of him, and he can't work out why. I also thought Jon Voight was wonderful as the quiet talking, no nonsense middle - man. Edited August 9, 2022 by sheepyvillian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Yes,I thought the cat was the best thing as well,would have been better if it wasnt a robot but then it could not help them as much as the robot cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I managed half of it before the daughter got bored and turned it off The trailer was misleading Spoiler He knew that he was jumping forward in time, it was a good scene but the trailer made it seem like he jumped 70 odd years in one go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
