Here is someone who hates the movie and has taken it to the next level:

Funny, I quite enjoyed it.
-
Did you like it enough to...COUNTERSUE!????;D
-
No, no I didn't. I found it an entertaining way to spend a couple hours while I painted some minis. If I wanted deep plot, I'd buy a book. I wanted to watch some **** blow up, so I was happy.

Funny way to frame a movie critique. Have not seen the movie, and don't expect to. But, you can never tell what mood may strike in a year or two when I am up late night, with too little sleep and poor judgement while HBO runs the mandatory 50 showings of each movie...maybe then.

OMG! That Malkvoitch scene was beyond hilarious...he's got less enthusiasm then a table read. I can't believe the director allowed that. WOW!
-
I like how the "critic" mess up the facts from the movie there.
- Perlman and Malkowich isn't brothers, Perlman is a monk and therefore referred to as "Brother".
- The WWI setting is very logical but only for people who know the background and the setting.
- Not to mention the key-part, he/she must've not been watching the whole movie or been otherwise occupied.
Other than that, yes, they did mess up the movie by taking the setting out of the background. Still it's a kind of neat movie.

hmm, don´t like the critic.
1.
is quite possibly the worst movie ever made,
the movie is faaaaaar from beeing the worst. really, i saw a lot of "bad-movies" and MC is not one.
2.
opportunity to delve into .. strange high-tech warfare, ... treated to a war that looks just like World War I trench warfare
by using the word "Chronic" in his name, that perhaps this film...
he does not know MC-RPG/TT. the WWI style is from the game. he expects high tech war, and thats simply not what they _wanted_ to show, since its lost-tech and not sci-fi.
3.
backdrop to a series of boring and pointless conversations between soldiers
yes, the _story_ is quite flat, but the same is true for other war-movies, including gems like e.g. apocalypse now and others..
-> for what it is, i enjoyed it. you see trences (unforunately not imperial)
-> you see brotherhood and some faith-stuff
-> cool mutants and heroes
-> cool cities/suroundings.
=> all in all not a very good movie, but a good adaptation of other media, much better than many many other tries, be it superheroes (hulk, superman) or most books-based filmes (in the category "pulp")

I think it's clear from the review that the viewer didn't "get it" and clearly wasn't paying much attention through most of it. Having not seen it myself I can't pass judgement...yet.

...and there were only 4 corporations, in the movie - not 5. This "critic" is clueless and a blowhard.

Leave it to my wife - she has just made the quote of the century -
"This guy should've shoved a Twix bar in his mouth before he wrote this, and took a moment to think about what he just watched."
I am laughing tears!

I gotta see if I can set up a second karma counter on your account so we can give some to Mrs McGee when she hits the long ball

Critics (people) like that need to be kicked out of the gene pool. IMHO.

You're assuming that they evolved from the same gene pool as humans.
As Mark Twain once said, “It is the will of God that we must have critics and missionaries and congressmen and humorists, and we must bear the burden”.
Or even better, as Irish poet and revolutionary (terrorist?) Brendan Behan said, “Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves”.

+1 for the truth :)
in this context i like the phrase: "opinions are like a*sho**s, everyone´s got one"
(-> you need to have a why, not only a what, and this "review" is seriously missing the nessecary "why" it´s such a bad movie (one of the worst(!!), really, that opinion does not have a basis))
-
Woo hoo!!! My first karma point!!! I feel blessed! What are these for, BTW?!
-
Absolutely nothing, but they look nice.
-
and if you get a lot of (-) karma ppl see you as a ruffian (http://www.tabletopwelt.de/forum/images/smilies/aufsmaul.gif)
-
But NTN, you ARE a ruffian! :o
-
karma for you, i feel honored (http://www.tabletopwelt.de/forum/images/smilies/rotebacken.gif)
-
Are we talking Han Solo-style ruffian, typical pragmatically-challenged gamer ruffian, or just plain craphead ruffian?
-
Hmmm, I'd say the rabble-rouse kind of ruffian. Not to be confused with a hooligan of course!
-
Hooligans? Us? Never! (okay, maybe we rouse a bit of rabble, every now and again ;))
-
Nothing wrong with being a ruffian! There comes a point where some people only get the message through blunt physical trauma. Ot happy about it, but there it is.

Well, i saw this yesturday, and while not what i was hoping for it was fun... some of the dialouge was terrible and they were swearing JUST to swear..which i find sad... lack of creative dialouge. oh well it was fun for what it was.

So let me get this straight...it was released on DVD in Europe, but is slated to be a December theatre release here in the states? What does that say about the typical American movie-goer? Never mind, I don't want to know...
