Well, sometimes...
One of my favorite movies.
Best... Movie... I... Have... Seen... For... Ages...
My sig says it all.
I liked it. Kind of an 90's head film. I like how there was stuff going on outside the windows. IMHO it is Oliver Stone's best.
This is definitely Oliver Stone's best movie. It far surpasses anything else he's done.
Aside from "Reservoir Dogs" I find Tarantino annoying- but I've got to hand it to him... "Natural Born Killers" was an awesome script. I'm glad he didn't direct the film himself. It wouldn't have had the same effect.
The cast of characters in NBK was excellent, too. There wasn't any miscast actors/actresses.
All in all, NBK is one of my top 5 favorite flicks.
I like this movie a lot. The director's cut has a few moments of interesting gore that were cut from the theatrical release.
I saw this movie in the theatre and walked out halfway through the movie.
Oliver Stone is an extremely over-rated director and Hollywood elitist.
I guess why I found the movie so appalling was because it seemed so contrived and forced. I have no problems with violence in movies, per se, but it seemed like Stone was trying to be "hip" or something. At the time, Tarratino was new on the scene etc, and Oliver Stone wanted to appeal to the MTV generation.
I never liked Stone's movies. It's always like he's trying to prove some point or something. He comes across as self righteous.
Oliver Stone is an overrated director. Mixed media was cool though.
Alexander sucked. As for Tarantino, I'll be sure to see Sin City next Friday. I've read an "early draft" of NBK, and it was too documentary-ish. It didn't deliver like the finished product of Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill.
I liked NBK when I first saw it, but couldn't really get into it when re-watching about seven years later. I think it was one of those movies that seemed more important at the time than it wound up being...I remember one of my professors raving about it when it first came out and saying that it was one of the most important American movies of the last 20 years or something like that, but I really don't know if many people would say that today.
