Edge of Darkness

Started by SnakeEyes3 pages

Saw this the other night... it was pretty bad.

Poor Mel. Twas supposed to be his big 'comeback' movie. Oh well. I guess we'll have to wait and see when Mad Max 4 comes out if he still has it.

Holy crap, they remade Edge of Darkness??!!

The original series was fantastic, though at a glacial pace for modern audiences.

They can't have kept most of the plot; it was too complex.

Also the original plot was about the UK with the US getting involved. I cannot see the same situation working in reverse due to the precise nature of the relationship between the two- though I note that this one has Ray Winston as a Brit in the US, where the original had Joe Don Baker as a Yank in the UK.

Oh man! I just checked the synopsis and they gave it a Hollywood ending! Noooooooooooooooooooo!

Other then the spoiler issue, it would involve explaining rather a lot.

I suspect the film has cut out the bit about the flowers and the Gaia hypothesis too. I note the film is about

Spoiler:
nuclear weapons, which I suppose makes it more direct. The original was about nuclear production of any sort
, and the very complicated chain of interests created between the US and the UK.

Live film is out, there's talk of it being made as an animation, with Mel supplying the voice to the character.

is the original probably something that should not have been remade?

Yeah, I read up on Mad Max 4. Mel won't be involved. Looks like a bunch of no namers in a movie that will be partial CG and partila real life. It'll take place 3 years after Thunderdome.

Going to suck ass....

Saw it and enjoyed it. Gibson was good in it, and I enjoyed the dialogue. It wasn't amazing, but it was a fun ride.

Just saw this... It wasnt bad, kinda typical and lacks good action but still not bad.

For those like me that was

Spoiler:
expecting Mel to pull off a Dirty Harry/Harry Brown type character...forget it! it doesnt happen or at least not very well.

Amusing, animated review for it on Spill. 😄

👇 This movie left me very disappointed,I am quite surprised it got good reviews from the critics,I was expecting big things,what I got was a movie that was just overcomplicated and overlong,I found it way to ''political'' and just way too complicated for the sort of movie it was.I found myself bored,and waiting for it to finish,there was a couple of good scenes here and there,but mostly this movie was lame,seriously.

its a remake of the UK tele series... i have watched it when i was in UK
