    Apparently, aprés filming, every frame was edited to "enhance" Angelina Jolie's "breasts" smile.gif

    Sounds good to me

    My friends 7 year old kid went to see it and apprantly she is having nightmares over it. She keeps waking up in the middle of the night screaming "How did they get funding?!"

    Just home from seeing it earlier on, it's pretty average, some nice action sequences but some of the stuff between them was aweful, I was pretty bored waiting for the next action sequence all the time. But hey, it's got Angelina Jolie in the shower and some reasonable action, so it was worth the time smile.gif


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,494 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    Saw it Friday night.

    (this does not spoil the film)

    The scene in the garage is good - I felt sorry for the guy who got smacked by the Steyr TMP - but I felt really sorry for the next guy.

    I went to see it earlier, and had to say I was impressed. I expected a female version of Bond. But TBH if they had made this film with any other actress, it probably wouldn't have been as good. It is def. a guy flick. Jolie was amazing, this movie is going to make her a real sex symbol for quite a while. My favourite part has to be the start!!

    A alrite secound to any Indina Jones movie.

    Saw it last night - mediocre at best. Old story with no new slant except for having a heroine at last. Nice boobs though - even if rumour has it they digitally remastered them in each frame ...

    Crap boobs. They were lobsided in a few scenes and they just didn't look right.

    Yeah I noticed that in one seen too, quite strange smile.gif

    Also, out in the middle of a frozen landscape, wearing an open front coat and a skin tight top, how come there was no sign of her nipples?! I'd have thought they'd have taken advantage of that tbh smile.gif


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 842 ✭✭✭the celtic tiger


    she had her nipples removed in a tragic skydiving accident involving a man and a duck.

    True, but the was one shot in particular that they were particularly lobsided and can't just be from them being different sizes.

    I've got 2 things - GIA and The Indiana Jones Trilogy. Therefore I don't need to watch a second rate Indy cloned teenage wa^k fest.

    Well I saw this the other day and I enjoyed it. The story was weak, acting was not oscar material but the action sequences were done very well and Angelina Jolie, Mmmmmmmm nice biggrin.gif

    Turn the brain off and enjoy !

    In all fairness, Angelina Jolie's jabs in Gia are pretty fukkin awful, all saggy-like. It's good to see them digitally remastered, the way nature intended. Worth every penny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭Spunog UIE


    Finally seen it,
    and what a load of ****, i felt embarrsed comming out of there. it had little pervy bits that were realyl aimed at ille 15 yr olds, maybe i should of expected that. The action scenes were pretty crap too, they tried to copy films like the Matrix and MI2 but failed completly (music good tho), i felt embarrsed comming out of that cinema, i wasn't a pervy 12 year old i swear, it could of been good, what a shame.

    oh her tits looked stupid as well! especially the snowy bits.

    They were not digitally remastered.

    Jolie got into serious shape for this movie. During shooting, she was a 36D (or so she claims). Lara is supposed to be a 36 DD or 36E (depending on which nomenclature you prefer).

    Padding was used - not digital remastery. This explains :

    1) lack of nipples - hidden in the padding
    2) lopsidedness - caused by movement within padding, not noticed until editing, at which point too late to reshoot.

    Also, the tight elasticised tops she was wearing show her figure off to its best extent, and the choice of bra was designed again to add maximum "impact".

    Overall, the movie was reasonable. The major script flaw for me was the weird interaction with "supporting" cast - they seemed not involved enough script-wise, but very involved story-wise, if you get my meaning. And that was not always consistent.

    The main plot however, is indeed laughable. Its about as credible as, ummm, an Indiana Jones plot. Or an XMen plot. Or ID4, or MIB, or pretty much any other "fantasy" action plot.

    Park your brain outside, or turn it off at the same time as your mobile. Sit back, and enjoy. Then when you come out, say to yourself "that was mostly good". At least, thats my take.

    Hmmmmm Jubliessssssss...

    But oh, no tears please, fear and pain may acompany death, but it is desire that sheperds its certainty, as we shall see...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    Just seen it (l8 as usual) wasnt too excited about it, wasnt from beginning. BUT it was not a disaster. Actually i'll say its the best game to movie attemp yet (gee wha competition) But i found the story bad (some bits felt like indiana and others are mixed up) useless use of the Illuminati and the action equance were not great. Didnt have tha oompf to them (not cinematic enuf for me?) But overall i didnt walk out like id4 so it gets a 2 (for wha 2 assests) from me (which is average)

    I liked
    -jublees
    -Improvement over other game to movie

    I h8ted
    -the general feel of the film
    -useless use of co-actors
    -useless vilian
    -Jolie (despite being a kinda sex icon) is actual a good actress and i didnt really see this.


    funnily i have alrready forgotten most of the film.


    p.s may be a improvement over other game to film attempts but final fantasy looks to actual get it right.

    People of the Boards

    I have a cunning plan

    and before u ask how cunning

    just trust me its cunning

    oooo thats cunning
