yeah I heard it was "the worst movie ever"

Re: movie: syriana
 

I couldn't agree more. I was really excited about seeing this, but it was one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. Don't bother.

Re: movie: syriana
 

My money was much better spent on The Ringer, which was pretty decent.

Well, the experts are telling me you don't know what you are talking about.

i just want to say daryn is right a shockingly large percentage of the time

Re: movie: syriana
 

I liked it a lot. Why did you hate it so much? It was admittedly a little slow and obtuse at the beginning, but I thought it was interesting and timely overall.

Yeah, I always check out rotten tomatoes before I go to a movie and the glowing reviews were part of the reason I wanted to see it. They got this one wrong.

Re: movie: syriana
 

I saw this movie with 6 other friends and we all decided it was absolutely horrible.

I really hated how they introduced a new character with 15 minutes left in the movie, and how they changed locations every 2 minutes.

Re: movie: syriana
 

This is going to go on my list of litmus test movies along with stuff like Glengary Glen Ross, Sideways, and Crash (the last one being a [censored] terrible movie). If someone thought Syriana sucked then I can trust that they have terrible taste in intelligent movies.

Thankfully, I can still turn to these people if I need a good review of Vin Diesel Extreme: Part III.

Re: movie: syriana
 

Well I liked it. I had no problem following the plot and the myriad of characters.
Then again, I also liked The Constant Gardener.
Not having my mind degraded by TV and video games also helped.

darying:

is it actually your birthday?

Re: movie: syriana
 

I thought it was fairly good; however, I was pretty tired when I went to the theatres and wasn't prepared for as heavy a movie as it was, so I left pretty confused... I would like to see it again.

Re: movie: syriana
 

it's obvious you didn't get it cuz your iq's so low.

Just curious fuxrad, did you like "the thin red line"?

Re: movie: syriana
 

syriana is good, the constant gardner was great, the rest of you are morons.

I agree, it was a really good movie. As was Constant Gardener.

I had to see it a second time and make sure to read up on who the characters were before going back, but after the second time watching it I thought it was damn good. The first time, I saw it tired and was totally unprepared for what it was.

I like intelligent movies.

Re: movie: syriana
 

the book seems good too, but i just started it.

Re: movie: syriana
 

i really liked the movie, but i really like those that let me put things together.

Re: movie: syriana
 

i.e. you are not semi-retarted?

Re: movie: syriana
 

daryn,

I liked this movie a lot.

Re: movie: syriana
 

i agree with daryn. big letdown. then again i should have known because traffic sucked. and stephen gagham is douche.

also, people that say the crap fluxrad and mtndave have in this thread are pretty much insufferable twats. really annoying, and really lame. but hey, that is just my opinion!

*fluxrad: i really like glengarry, and considered sideways a top 3 film that year. however i would be embarassed if i had written or directed syriana.

Re: movie: syriana
 

i definitely disagree with you

Re: movie: syriana
 

I thought it was good.

maybe you could elaborate as to why you thought it was bad.

Also, have you seen any of the following movies: Traffic, the Constant Gardener, Lord of War?

What did you think of those; I think Syrianna was very similar to them

Re: movie: syriana
 

oh and happy birthday daryn

like i keep saying just super boring, dragging on.. constant switching of characters.. introduction of characters that i didn't care about

traffic was great

the concepts going on in the movie were certainly "interesting" but not to make a movie out of.. you know what i'm saying?

No I would rather have an engaing plot and dialogue that didn't hop around like a kid with candy.
