Shutter Island

...Are all of his newer films going to have Leonardo DiCaprio in it?

 

[Slick5150]

They like working together obviously.

 

[BrownShoes]

Trailer looks decent.

 

[jonks]

any bets on whether Leo is the missing patient? (OMG he's dead!!)

Mark Ruffalo's character captured him after an escape attempt and returned him to the island.

 

[Jadow]

this one looks stupid

 

[TehMac]

I think it looks kinda cool...but half the plot got revealed in the trailers...lol

 

[slayer202]

I believe it is based on a book, so the story is out there I'm sure

 

[irishScott]

Doesn't look that bad. Nothing wrong with DiCaprio either.

yeah, so? kind of like all of his movies with DeNiro.

the collaboration has worked tremendously thus far.

 

[moshquerade]

Anyone seen this one yet?

 

[Alone]

Saw it. It was pretty good; not quite what I expected.

But there's another movie I've seen that is pretty similar, I'd name it but it might give too much away.

yeah saw it yesterday. Movie was alright, ending was extremely predictable

Like Alone's comments above.

Saw it yesterday. The AC in the place wasn't working, so there were about 100 uncomfortably warm people in the theater....lol. Seemed a tad long, but overall I enjoyed it/would recommend. Reminded me of another movie.

 

[Gothgar]

I like Leo

Saw it this weekend. Mediocre. Very disappointing if you consider it's a Scorsese film.

A lot of the stuff was predictable, but more importantly, much of it was boring. I liked the tone and ominous-ness of it all, but the plot wasn't good enough to support that tone.

In terms of plot, this is the sort of movie you'd expect to see someone make during film school. In fact, I am pretty sure I wrote something similar, albeit much more moronic and amateurish, in high school.

I thought it was pretty good. Wasn't mindblowing or anything, but not a waste of money or time either.

To me, the trailer sort of misrepresented what kind of movie we were going to be seeing.

 

[SpanishFry]

great film. very engaging and overall it's exactly the experience i look for when going to see an anticipated film.

I think it's safe to say that almost every movie is predictable. Not many movies end the way you don't think they would.

It doesn't really matter so much to me whether a movie is predictable or not. Watching the story play out, etc. seems to be more important. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to enjoy movies we've already seen (though I know people who can't or won't rewatch a movie).

Yea but the way it played out was predictable as well. I was extremely disappointed with this movie.

What I liked about the ending was, if you didn't listen to DiCaprio's last sentence, you would have really missed a huge twist.

So many people in the theater didn't get the ending at all (going by conversations when walking out...)

Exactly...that was what i liked about it. Obviously one sentence doesn't make a movie, but it makes a movie a lot better.

Not in my opinion. I liked that line but it wasn't enough to save the previous hours of mediocrity. It was perhaps enough to prevent it from being worse than mediocre.

Yea the movie wasn't terrible but it wasn't good. The last line made you think for a quick second then you remembered how mediocre the rest of the movie was and how predictable it was.
