Hey, you cheeky swine. I dropped by to check out the reviews as I'd like to see this movie and I find my nationality being smashed. Not enough that the entire GDF hates Brits, now the Movie forum's getting in on the action?
Watch it, Mister nahuh

It's not up to me to encourage them, they should re watch it, or maybe even pick up the book, that'll give them more insight than I can. If they don't have enough interest in cinema to do that, then I'd rather they stick to watching shit films which they can understand, rather than practically insult a film, by asking questions which suggest that this is some kind of flaw on the film maker's part.It's not dumbing down their experiences, it's giving them films that are more their level.
He didn't insult the damn movie just by asking an honest question. And don't think that this movie is perfect by any means. While it is good, it has plenty of flaws.
The point of a movie is to portray the story of the book. If the movie requires you to read the book in order to understand the story better, then the movie didn't do it's job.
No one should be forced to watch Michael Bay movies.

Regardless of nationality, there are some pretentious bastards that hang around here; just happens to be that some of them are British.
The majority of members that frequent this board, are absolute idiots who probably surprise even themselves by getting dressed in the morning; it just happens that most of them are American.

I never said that the movie was perfect, I don't know where you got that impression from, the book wasn't perfect either. Though this film was remarkably true to the book, an easy feat as McCarthy did originally write it as a screenplay. The story was presented very well, what a lot of people fail to grasp, is that there's some things that you're not meant to understand in pieces of cinema like this, it adds to the quality.
I never said they should be forced to watch Michael Bay films, I was just using Michael Bay films as an example of the simple films which leave no unanswered questions, apart from 'how much did that explosion cost?'

This statement implies that anyone who questions anything about the film is suggesting it is a flaw on the filmmaker's part. If someone has an honest question about the film, they shouldn't be attacked for it. That's why this forum even exists...to discuss the film and ask questions if need be.
