produced by edgar wright. it's a comedy about inner city kids fighting off space aliens.

Everyone at South by Southwest was going apeshit about this movie.  I probably spent a total of 3 hours in lines trying (but failing) to get into this.
I've heard good things.

I really want to see this. Austin and LA got screenings. NYC = shit out of luck.

I flipped out over this, just like everyone else. Hopefully the hype doesn't turn it into something bigger than it is - because it really IS that good, but you know how hype works.

Yup, this was the only movie that I couldn't get into, but I didn't really expect that I would get in anyway. Looking forward to seeing it.

just came back from it. I really enjoyed the characterization of the kids - they felt like hood rats - aggressive, impulsive, brash, insecure...etc., broad strokes but accurate strokes too. I was glad it wasn't just hardy boys in different uniforms. soundtrack was cool.
the action sequences suffered from Hellboy syndrome; they felt repetitive as they'd been fighting the same creature (mostly off-camera?!) for the entire movie, and the ending really wasn't any more exciting or thrilling than the beginning. they did a lot of cutaways to save money, one of the biggest explosions in the film happened fucking off screen. kinda not acceptable for a scifi horror action film.

It suffered a little from broad strokes of the characters but they were accurate enough to keep me stimulated. Kind of a let down and the hype killed this picture which is too bad because its just okay. But overall, Bleh.

What has happened to Silias' serotonin levels that he is giving all these good movies bad reviews?  He used to go ape-shit over car commercials and puppy videos on Youtube.

[Pubrick]

Haha I don't know about the other movies but here he is just blatantly plagiarising what other people have said in this thread.. except where he gave it a "bleh", he probably stole that from somewhere else.

The rest, though:

suffered a little from broad strokes of the characters but they were accurate enough

Was taken straight out of Pete's review:

the characterization of the kids [...] broad strokes but accurate strokes too.

Actually the "bleh" might come from the rest of Pete's post where he doesn't sound too enthusiastic about the action sequences and the film's ending. But most likely Silias was just fulfilling ghostboys comments about hype:

Hopefully the hype doesn't turn it into something bigger than it is

Watch how Silias inversely copies ghostboy's comment:

Kind of a let down and the hype killed this picture

Can no one else see this?

[RegularKarate]

Inspector Pubrick solves another one.

Maybe Silias CAN'T give bad reviews so he has to paste them together out of other reviews so that people will stop accusing him of loving everything.

Holy crap, he's Keyser Soze.
