This is way better than the, horse shi*t critic revered; No country for old Men

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2007)

If I could summarize this movie into two singular words it would be; ouch, and wow. I would first like to start off about talking about the "ouch." When I came out of the theater It felt like I just got punched in the stomach. Not a lot of movies can do that to me, but this one left me utterly stunned, and not it a bad way. The reason I felt so, was the ending. There has been a lot of flack for the ending, people complaining "oh it wasn't like the original, what a travesty" bull crap, but for me that couldn't be further from the truth. I think people are forgetting some other movies that had the same problems but are now considered classics. One is A Clockwork orange. A lot of people were upset that the movie didn't end the same way as the book but look at the attention it gets now. Just for people that go watch movies that were adapted from books and expect it to unfold just as they read it remember, its called adaptation for a reason, its the directors and screenwriters ideas that are formulated from the book. Meaning its not going to be exactly like the book. But i digress. The second emotion I felt after the movie was wow, wow because I cant believe how great a movie could get such bad reviews. To me(and I know people will scoff) but this was the movie of the year(at least of the ones I've seen). I saw a little movie last week, you might of heard of it, it was called No country for old men. Now that movie had awesome, terrific reviews. The only thing I felt when I came out of the theater was I want my 10 bucks back and are all the people who loved this movie blind. The only thing great about that movie was the cinematography. Dialog:complete crap it was just pulled from the book, pacing:I was more entertained with Pulp Fiction at that had some slow pacing, Characters: the only thing I kept thinking was, "I could care less what happens to them". I know that all reviews are not fair that critics are influenced by other critics and the studio or personal agendas, but if your going to be a critic call it for what it is, you should be impartial. I almost missed out on my personal pick for the movie of the year because I trusted the critics. Which is why I now will never listen to them again. So personal opinion if you want to see something that can make you feel real anger, real despair and emotion not, something force fed before you even enter the movie, go see, The Mist.
