this looks fcking epic.

Adam Grimes
Yes it does

Patient_Leech
I'm not impressed with big, epic CGI and action unless I find the characters/story/premise interesting.

Robtard
Piqued my interest, will watch this.

marwash22
it has your curiosity, but does it have your attention, tart?

Robtard
No, that's reserved for your mom, mouth

Think I'll take some magic mushrooms before seeing this. Give myself proper brain damage.

The whole city on wheels thing reminds of a Transformer

Garbage.

Happened upon an ad for this on YouTube. I think it looks pretty terrible. It just doesn't feel like a believable world. Not good, Peter Jackson.. not good...

Kazenji
Yeah, Jackson is slowly becoming like Lucas with lots of CG everywhere.

Zack M
Will watch.

Flyattractor
Looks Goofy and Cheesey as Hell. So yes. Gonna Hope for AWESOMENESS!!!!!!

To be honest, the ONLY thing that makes me the slightest bit interested is Hugo Weaving. That guy commands the screen any time he's on like few can.

BruceSkywalker
this might have flop written all over it

It does not look good and the X-mas competition won't help it either.

That's basically the only thing that drew me in. And he was fine, but even he couldn't lend much credibility to such a strange premise.

To be honest I fell asleep and missed maybe the middle 30 minutes or so of the movie, heh. But I don't think it made much difference. The movie has tons of impressive visuals, but it was difficult to care about much of what was going on.

I basically used the movie for a lazy Sunday afternoon and it fueled my nap quite well. thumb up

Robtard
Tried watching this awhile back, got maybe 25-30 mins before I turned it off.

They should've just done a movie about Shrike. His character was awesome.

Esau Cairn
Yeah Shrike was seriously an interesting character.

Not many movies can introduce a one dimensional character & then build up on its personality as the story progresses...

I was seriously hoping this movie was dark, gritty & on a LOTR scale.

I didn't realise it was based on a teen-market novel in the vein of Hungergames or Divergent.

Patient_Leech
I (sort of) watched the movie, but I couldn't tell you who Shrike is.

Esau Cairn
Shrike was the unstoppable assassin.

It was filled with bland characters, I liked Hugo Weaving but the rest was awful
