No Country For Old Men. It won many awards, is called best picture of the year, and is praised by every critic on the planet. I guess that should have been my first clue. I sat through this film waithing for everthing to culminate to make a great plot or twist of fate or something, but it never happend. Boring as hell is the only way to describe this movie. It runs two hours and felt like four. It is violent but lacks action or even drama. It has no soundtrack and very little dialog, and the few conversations the characters have is fairly meaningless. After watching this I still don't really know what the story was supposed to convey as the plot is....One guy finds money, another guy likes killing random people...thats about it. It was not a joy to watch, it was not funny, it was not a thriller, it didn't teach a lesson. Total waste of a perfectly good dvd case.

Hitman was pretty good...the only problems I had with it were 1 - the actor was pretty awful, and 2 - number 47 is not supposed to show ANY emotions....and there were emotions everywhere in the movie. But still, not bad. :)

Hit 'Em Up was not a great movie by any means, but it was hilarious and had lots of action in it. :D C'mon, how many movies have a guy that kills with CARROTS??? LOL

Anyone who liked hitman has never played the games....Hitman was the biggest piece of shit EVER!

NCFOM also sucked.

Yeah she was hot, too bad the rest of the movie sucked. NCFOM wasn't to bad, haven't seen Hitman yet but heard it sucked. Shoot 'Em Up was pretty entertaining. Revolver is a good movie.

I enjoyed NCFOM, actually.

However, if you want to talk about bad award winning movies, try There will be blood. It sucked donkey balls.

Amen. There Will Be Blood was sooooo boring. I've now watched all the nominations for movie of the year and this was by far the worst.

No Country was great. It felt like a good 80's action flick to me. Loved the characters as well.

Hitman was pretty good as well. The girl in the movie was also hot :). I was expecting not to like this one.

Gone Baby Gone was OK.

Atonement was pretty good.

Michael Clayton was OK.

NCFOM wasn't that great IMO

Shoot em up I thought was badass. Although the acting sucked, the action was pretty cool.

I still need to watch Hitman. I think I might go rent it tonight.

I plan on picking up Hitman today when I get I Am Legend. NCFOM is currently in my trashcan unless one of you wants it, Pm me.

Pertaning to Hitman; is it action packed and kickass?...I don't want to doze off during a movie again. I know I Am Legend is good, I saw it twice in the theater. Any other good flicks out I should grab?

I Am Legend was pretty disappointing IMO. It had good potential but really fell short of what I expected.

Also it really didn't go into anything at all explaining the zombie thing that trapped will smith.
It put it on the bottom of my Zombie movie list personally.....

Depends, Have you played any of the hitman games? or know anything about the hitman series? If so....then your gonna be pissed off and very disappointed with the movie....if not, then go for it.

Ive played the hitman games and i thought the movie was still pretty badass.
The actor in it was the porn producer from "the girl next door" and he was the bad guy in "live free or die hard." I thought it was a pretty weird choice of actors but it was still good. It has plenty of action i think.

I thought shoot 'em up was alrite, it was pretty funny and still action packed.
My friends said bank job was badass..and i still need to see I am legend.
