Want *SPOILER* for Flightplan

[Crothian]

Well, thanks for ruining that movie for me.

It wasn't that good either

That movie is 4 years old, tough luck.

If Trancejeremy were some bystander on the street talking loudly, you'd have a point. I can't avoid a loud guy. But I didn't expect to walk into a Flightplan thread and read a spoiler for a completely different movie, one I'd been meaning to see for a while. That's just crappy netiquette. I didn't care to see Flightplan at all, but I'd heard it had a really stupid twist and I was curious about what it was exactly.

Besides, what's this "4 years old" jive? Who are you to say what the statute of limitations is on giving away surprise endings? I don't go around telling people exactly who carved up Janet Leigh in Psycho, even though I expect most people who haven't even seen it know by now.

Did anyone who actually saw the movie think the big reveal falls apart? My wife and I didn't.

And actually, The Others was a quite good movie. If it wasn't for the release of The Sixth Sense shortly before it, it would have been even better; it suffered from a severe sense of deja vu as it was.

Is it cool to hate movies or something? I don't get it.

Oh, come on, you've been around long enough to know that people will complain here more than priase.

I didn't think it was good, it felt predictiable and the writing and acting were sub par.

Only the bad ones. I'll praise a good movie when I see them, but to me these are not good movies.

Becauyse if a movie is old, it is usually safe to assume that most people who have an intention to see it have. If you haven't, then tough.

Well, there's usually a few consistent voices of folks who apparently don't like any movie ever made. Then there's usually a few off-the-wall complaints about how some esoteric little bit-part in the movie "ruined it for them."

But there's usually some folks who liked all but the most egregiously horrible movies too. I thought both Flight Plan and The Others were tolerable, if not classic. Looking at review on places like yahoo movies, netflix, etc. it seems the consensus in general is that they're not bad movies either. I'm surprised that they're getting nothing but teh hat today.

Well, yeah; like I said, it was predictable, because if you had already seen The Sixth Sense it was like deja vu. Now, I haven't seen the movie in three years or so, but I certainly don't remember anything about the acting or the writing being subpar; quite the opposite, in fact. What about it didn't you like?

Beats me. My parents thought it did, and they're pretty accepting people when it comes to movies (too accepting, IMO!). I can't say speak for myself in this regard since I didn't (and won't) see this movie.

Only crappy movies that one doesn't like.
