Oh sure, they probably designed the shots with 3D in mind way back when, but they certainly didn't worry about a 3D version when it came time to actually shooting, from the sounds of it.

Think I'm with you there. I'm totally burned out on super hero flicks, enough already. Terminator looks terrible beyond belief and Jurassic World isn't doing it for me either.

So no Mission Impossible and Ant-Man for you?
Incredible action sequences.
Incredibly thin plot.
Seriously the cinematography, real cars slamming into each other, real explosions. real stunts. It was an absolutely stunning visual experience.
The story telling was....well. It was there, but I am of the opinion that no movie should go without a good story. With that said, that doesn't seem to be the point of this film, so don't let that distract anyone.
Once again, I can barely process how good the action was in this film. It's on another level.

That was probably the best action movie of all time for me. Please don't bomb so we could get a sequel.

I..i dont think the Raid movies are very good, especially the second movie. I was exhausted by the 90 minute mark and i still had an hour left.
I'm really hoping i dont feel the same way with this movie. My GF and I have been looking forward to it since the first trailer came out.
I went in expecting to be exhausted by the action, but the movie managed to pace itself quite well and added all sorts of little surprised and changes whenever it was about to become repetitive or predictable.
I thought the concept of a movie that is one long chase would be repetitive or exhausting or annoying, but it worked incredibly well, unlike e.g. MoS, where the action became a bit nauseating after a while.
Wait, so does that mean he get's two reviews on RT?
Went into this one blind with only the experience of the originals setting me up for it and I loved every minute of it. Absolutely amazing all the way through. I enjoyed it infinitely more than Furious 7 and The Avengers (which I enjoyed - but not like this).
3 rotten but only 2 reviews?
RT wat r u doin
edit: never mind, the "NYC Movie Guru" wasn't fond of it either

Ok, I'm done with this thread for now. I've had my fill of hype and doubt and now I need to clear my mind from it for the next couple of days (seeing it either Saturday night or Sunday morning).

Trying to convince the wife to go on a date night strictly so I can take her to see this.

Dramamine? I thought the solid camerawork was one of the best features of the movie. I can't think of a film in recent memory where the action was so clear and the camera was so deliberate.

I expect more negative reviews to showup from clickbait assholes writing negative reviews just so they get visited.
Don't believe a single negative thing you hear about this movie.
It's amazing, it's sublime, it's an emotional rocket ship through joy, misery and explosions. It's something you won't forget, and it is supremely important.

So...having returned from viewing the film, I might have to say that this might surpass Road Warrior as the best of the series.

"Number of times I checked my watch: 4"... nice.
The guy is a movie critic. The fuck else does he have to do with his time than watch movies for a living?

Convinced my buddies to tag along when we're out of work in the next hour. I'll pop back in afterwards for a review.

It's time for me to write a negative review.
I'll make my mark on RT for sure!

I hope he's a web designer...cause that site is amazing...
It seems from the site's home page that he is "currently doing research in the health industry and [has] uncovered important information that needs to be fully disclosed to you and everyone you know."... and wants you to "read [his] first article published about the cover-up of hidden MSG and its potentially harmful health effects."
