Tell me if I'm out of line...I doubt that I am. I haven't seen the movie or anything, just caught the trailer.
Mind you, I'd first seen the posters and thought, FINALLY - a black people fairytale...or at least a black princess in a fairytale movie.
Well...the bit of the trailer I saw...wait let me first say or ask, you do know the story about the princess and the frog right? How the princess kisses the frog and it turns out the frog is actually a prince?
Well, in this black fairytale...guess what! A freak of a twist.
The black princess kisses toad, and becomes a toad herself.
WTF?

THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH!
Lets see, how many others came before it!
Dare I list?
Actually, Brokensword would do a better job.
I'll try me best.
I AM Legend!
Terminator!
Day After Tomorrow!
Armageddon!
There was that Tom Cruise one, War of the Worlds I think its called. And plenty others.
Argh! Its bad enough that you doing a story on the end of the world, but to frighten everyone into thinking it will happen in the next two years. ARGH!
Low blow.
I think the movie is just desperate.
I suppose it is entertaining enough. I managed to get through the entire thing. But just thought...ARGH! Its a 'whatever' type of movie if you ask me.
Yes, yes, all story lines have pretty much been done now. And its all about how well you can retell the same stories these days, and to use amazing visual effects to drive the story home etc.
John Cusack's in it...not sure if that would mean you'd bite. I suppose I should have known that if Danny Glover plays president in it...well...dud!. My wanting to watch it had nothing to do with anyone involved in the movie. Just wondered about the story, and how well they'd tell it.
Must say I absolutely lurve Chiwetel Ejiofor though (he's just yum), and ofcourse Thandie Newtown, both are featured in the movie.
I suppose there were some fun bits in the movie. Also loved Woody Harrelsn in this - he plays crazy.
And also absolutely adored Zlatko Buric who plays rich.
Okay, okay, so it wasn't that bad. Quite fun actually.
If only they didn't have Danny Glover in it. Heheheheh
