Ron: Came close to my list. Trying to be an awards-bait epic and failing so hard. Fincher cannot do emotions.
Boosch: I don't think it glorifies or justifies violence, especially when the torture gets Jackman nowhere except estrangement from friends and family. I loved the style and Gyllenhaal. Just not the villain, that sucked.
Walleye: This is turning up way too much
Chien: come now, Chien, this is hardly a film that received rave reviews. almost everyone said it's worse than the original. I actually prefer it - sure it's way too long and there's no real story, but that car chase makes the whole thing worthwhile
John: It's still one of Scorsese's best films this Century (but his only truly great film is Wolf of Wall Street, a 3-hour masterpiece I've watched thrice), because it's more heightened and fun than some of his others, but yeah, it's not the film that should have earned him all those awards.
Tranny: Agreed, although I do like the film. But I thought its second half just couldn't surpass the madness of the first.
