after reading the nazar review as well as this latest review of mr&mrs smith, as a reader one tends to feel that that the critic [though his reviews are quite catchy ]tends to rely too much on a spicy and wannabe 'funny n cool' style of writing and one may say he probably falls short where serious appraisal and hypothesis of a film is required.a critic is expected to also review the finer aspects of film making such as the editing , background scores, screenplay etc. and not just rely on a humorous, reader friendly style of writing.the crtic is definitely a good writer but where film appreciation is concerned i guess his lack of proper training is conspicuously evident .
seriously, man - do you really watch any of the movies that you write about
- there is NO chemistry between jolie and pitt - action sequences are badly crafted and mindless - there is not even a "cool"ness factor about all the action - or perhaps tarantino and rodrigues have taken us all on a different plane altogether regarding "cool" - dude, where is the story, huh ?
I saw this last saturday, and I after seeing it, I felt I wasted 2 hours of my life seeing this crapfest. Avoid burning a hole in your pocket and your brain with this movie.
Boycott it and make sure the movie does not make money or live up to the producers financial returns expectations.
If this movie fails, we have made sure to teach Hollywood a lesson, not to make trash movies like this again, and maybe makes sure they forget about their plans making this into a franchise...a movie sequel or prequel later on!!!!
Go watch Parineeta or something, or better still wait till Batman Begins comes out.
The movie is one big stinker. And to think we'd like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt together? No way Jose! It drags on and on and on with retarded "comical" scenes. The only blessing was Vince Vaughn,saving grace! IMHO! *rolls eyelid* And yes,it's a request,REVIEW the movie.Not tell the story! :S^10,000.
I hv noticed that it has become a fashion of sorts for readers to go bonkers over the rediff reviews, calling it nonsense and what not. I feel its a whole lot of crap, and the attitude itself sucks big time. i have found most of the reviewers on rediff doing a pretty job, and the reviews themselves are for the most part, objective and sensible. If u feel disgusted by the fact tht the redif reviewers dont sing to ur favourite star\'s tunes, then its high time u consulted a shrink; coz a review is not all abt putting stars up on a pedestal. and NO, reviews are not expected to be short and crisp - they could take up pages for all i care, if it makes for interesting reading as the one above. so give that attitude that cries i-am-above-the-rest-of-the-world the chucks, and learn to be accomodative, for gods sake. unless ofcourse u r cribbing toddlers whining around for chocolate pies!
Saw this movie on the very first day of its release with my lovely wife. The movie had its bit going up in the first half, but in the second half it was pure banal stuff with nothing going right. I had this not so good feeling after I came out of the the theatre but Yes, my wife did like it. That's Mr. and Mrs Smith for you. 2 apart
