That's what your mom said last night.

Care to elaborate on why you found it to be a disappointment?

>>18139702
So OP's mom said last night that you were disappointing?

>>18139764
Not! That's not what she said. Dammit!

>>18139787
>>18139787
>bad acting, bad joke/dialogue
The acting was fine.
>Rushed plot
It wasn't so much a rushed plot, but more of a 'we're gonna dump you right into the middle of everything' which I felt kind of lent a sense of reality to the whole thing.
>>I was unconvinced near the end when Moses "apologizes"
Been forever since I've actually seen it, can't remember the seen off the top of my head.
>It wasn't scary, it wasn't clever, it wasn't an action movie... it tried to be all those things and failed
I don't think it was trying to be scary. How was it not an action movie? There were plenty of action themes that worked very well in it. Not sure what you mean by it trying to be clever.
>Unlikable
At first maybe, they did a good job of developing him
>unintelligent
Um, no, not really. They may not all have been the brightest bunch, but they weren't (all) idiots.
>unsympathetic thugs as protagonists
Well yeah, they're thugs, but even then they all go through moments of emotional insecurity. Plenty of sympathy in the movie. Also most of the main cast are pot-heads. You expect them to the most likable, highly intelligent, upright citizens?

>>18140045
>seen
sorry for the typo.

>>18139787

This. My first thoughts when thinking the trailer were essentially:

Chavs chavving the chav until they get attacked by bad CGI.

>>18140045
I disagree with every goddamn thing you just said.

It's all opinions in the end, but my opinions are more correct than yours.

Later, bruh.

WHOOP WHOOP

>>18140063
>but my opinions are more correct than yours.
sigh.

Glad to know you disagree with things that I stated that are actually facts. Do you believe in unicorns too?

>>18140111

I can believe in Jesus shitting into your mother's asshole, because my opinions are more correct than yours.

ALWAYS.

>>18140111
>thinking acting is objective
Thinking that
>At first maybe, they did a good job of developing him

isn't a stupid comment. They did a terrible job of it.

Fuck your thoughts.

>>18140141
Did I say everything I said was fact? No I didn't you idiot.

Is there a torrent of it out now?

>>18140111
>Glad to know you disagree with things that I stated that are actually facts

Point of 1 of those "facts," faggot.

BUHLEEVE IT FAM

I liked it a lot, and was a little disappointed the white kid didn't get to kiss the chick.

>>18140175
Yep.
Don't believe the hype, though. Watch it and see for yourself.

>>18140175
If only there was some kind of engine that would let you SEARCH for things.

If only.

just finished it. was great, though my hatred for block muggers and scum was really put into question

>>18140192
Put into question how?

>>18140197

none of those are facts, try again

>>18140197
>can't remember the seen off the top of my head.
That's the only fact in there, dumbass.

Do you even know what a fact is?

>>18140079
Woop-woop!
That's the sound of da police!
Woop-woop!
That's the sound of the beast!

>>18140183
fuck yeah, been waiting for this for a while

>>18140213
>>18140215
Prove they aren't fact faggots.

Oh, and I didn't like the fact that Highhats was able to teleport into the penthouse before everyone else even though it showed him walking toward the exit of the building a scene or two earlier.

>>18140229
>prove a negative

not up to us to prove it, burden of proof resides with you.

>>18140229
They are opinions.

The sun is hot: that's a fact

>they weren't (all) idiots.

That is NOT a fact. Their actions and reaction to situations were that of morons, kids with no common sense or instinct.

I really wanted to see this and missed it in the cinemas.

Anyone got a good stream or DDL? I can't find ANYTHING.

>>18140240
You're the one claiming that what I've said isn't true, even though it's been taken straight from the movie itself.

Yet I have to prove that what I've said isn't not true.

Cool story.

>implying it wasnt good

It was decent way to spend over 1 houre.

Haters are mad cause it didnt have underage girls in it[/spoiler

>>18140243

So, a teenager reacting to an 'animal' attack by wanting to kill the animal is against instinct, then?

I'd say that's actually a pretty basic instinct.

>>18140253

Please die? I mean google movie name and put world torrent behind it? How did you even found 4chan if you are THIS stupid

>>18140243

is the sun being hot a fact though? surely "hot" is opinion, the sun might be quite cold to some unknown alien race

>Well, that was disappointing.

Maybe if you saw it four months after the hype on your computer.

>acting like stereotypical niggers and blaming the police for hating you

They were fucking idiots.

Unless you're a fucking idiot, you'd see that.

inb4 i didn't like them because they were black.

Bullshit. My favorite movie is City of God (where they can actually develop immoral characters).

>>18140200
well traditionally the "bmovie" or alien film genre relies upon the audience both cheering and sympathising with the main protagonists, thats why the kids vs the aliens sub genre is quite strong and has had revivals every decade or so (just look at this and clover field).
but with this, right from the get go you hate these characters for what they do to sam, you sympathise far more with her after all. yet when you begin to scratch the surface of the characters, the setting in which they live and access the events and people who led them to where they are, you begin to see them as something other than a nightmare.

>>18140243
>acted like kids
>confirmed for idiots
"Oh man they didn't act like sensible adults! They must be idiots."

What were the ages of the characters? 13-15? No shit they acted like kids at times, they were fucking kids. If you want to watch hoodlums act like adults when aliens start falling to earth, then go watch a movie where aliens start falling to earth and the characters are adults.

For being 14 year old hoodlums, the characters acted perfectly intelligently.

>>18140288
Hot isn't an opinion when dealing with the hottest things in the universe.

The sun is a star, stars exists in every galaxy... aliens would never be able to survive with that heat because they evolved the same way we did, near a star.

>>18140330
>you begin to see them as something other than a nightmare

All I saw at the end was still stupid, ignorant thugs.

>>18140331
>For being 14 year old hoodlums, the characters acted perfectly intelligently.

Watch more movies.

Please. Watch more movies.

>>18140318
>>acting like stereotypical niggers and blaming the police for hating you
That's what the characters were. Drug using, hoodlums from a fairly shitty part of London. People there actually do act like that.

OH NO, CHARACTERS IN MOVIES ACTING LIKE REAL PEOPLE!!! THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT!!!

>>18140318

>teenagers see meteors falling from the sky
>they get excited

What the fuck kind of childhood did you have that you wouldn't react the same way?
Also, once people started actually getting killed, they took it pretty fucking seriously, and decided to fight back instead of die like trapped rats.

SO UNREALISTIC

>expecting to be sympathized

Not really, they stormed into her apartment and implied they'd cause her harm if she didn't help.
Then, those couple of moments when they think they're about to be fucking eaten, they start to get a little emotional and 'fuck tha man' -ish.

>acting like a sterotypical nigger

You do realize they lived in the fucking ghetto, right?

>>18140369
The movie's objective was to show you a different side to them, a non-generic side, which the movie failed to do to anyone who isn't easily manipulated.

>>18140368
Alright, what movie has 14 year old hoodlum boys, located in south London that act like you think they should?

>>18140377
>decided to fight back instead of die like trapped rats.

They ran to the fight.

>What the fuck kind of childhood did you have that you wouldn't react the same way?

You'd cower under your bed, you little girl.

>SO UNREALISTIC

SO UNCONVINCING
>FTFY

>they start to get a little emotional
>emotional

You actually felt emotions in that movie? Silly me.

>You do realize they lived in the fucking ghetto, right?

I'll point to in the direction of what I said here
>>18140380
The movie's objective was to show you a different side to them, a non-generic side, which the movie failed to do to anyone who isn't easily manipulated.

>>18140380
But it did show a different side, what sort of side were you expecting? Did you expect them to turn out to be super intelligent youths who went on to cure cancer or something?

I thought it was a waste of time too, it really had nothing going for it.

>>18140330

>nightmare

Feeling sympathy for chavs is difficult.

>>18140412
WHAT. DIFFERENT. SIDE.

Other than the asspull near the end where Moses gives his "hurr durr i'm a changed man" performance.

>>18140377
I think we're just getting trolled dude.

>>18140428
How bout when they all go to their homes and we get to see a little into their home lives, with their parents.

>>18140359
well than you saw them as something other than a nightmare didnt you.
you saw that they were idiots, morons who acted incredibly stupid for the most part.
thats a completely different depiction than what the majority of the media and public see them as, which is monsters who just want to kill, hurt or rob you.
joe cornish used the image of the fighting boys from the blocks for and against them. he used their "cred" as a means of saying these guysare tough and can survive an alien attack. but also undermined them with their language, maturity and approach to life. thats why sam was there, if she hadnt been it would have been a propaganda film for the gangs of the council estates.

>>18140429
Unless you see me say "cry more" or "butthurt," hold back that assumption, please.

>>18140410

I'm sorry if the kids from the ghetto that got attacked by aliens behaved in a manner appropriate for kids in the ghetto that get attacked by aliens, and not how YOU would.

Maybe they should make a movie about your town getting attacked by Aliens, but I guess it would just be you running away.

>You'd cower under your bed, little girl

Well, not unless I knew there were aliens killing people en masse.
But, I didn't grow up in a slum, and I don't mug people on a nightly basis, and I also did have a psycho, trigger-happy drug-dealer as a rolemodel.

But that's just me.

>>18140445
Stupid, thugs acting like kids when they go home? .... NOOOOOO...

Not to mention those scenes were 15 seconds long.

You've fail again, sir.

>>18140428
>>18140428
When whatever his name is, is trapped in the garbage bin. Stereotypically they're supposed to always be tough and not afraid of shit, but we saw him very afraid.

Again, what 'other side' were you expecting?

>>18140447
You don't understand what I'm saying, do you? I'm saying that the movie tried to show a different side to the thugs, yet it ended up being formulaic and cliche... not to mention unconvincing.

What a fucking... fucking.... fucking...... no. I wont say that word.

>>18140461
You really think a woman's opinions of a film mean anything to me? It doesn't. Especially for a crappy flick like this.
Enjoy your filter, I can't talk to unreasonable people.

>>18140464
>You've fail again, sir.
you've failed at grammar, sir.

And again, what the fuck other side were you expecting? When they're on the streets, they're gonna act like the stereotypical thugs. When they return home (however brief it may be (hurr durr, he made a good point, better find a way to discredit it)) we do see the other side of them. The side that isn't all about street cred and being the toughest.

Could they have spent more time on that? Yeah sure, but this wasn't a drama about south London street thugs, it was about south London street thugs dealing with aliens.

>>18140495

>unreasonable

You're the one striving for realism in an action-comedy movie about punk kids fighting aliens with phosphorescent teeth.

I think the advertising was particularly poor.

Went in expecting Shaun of the Dead style comedy, which it REALLY isn't. Loved the film, but it's not the movie I was expecting from seeing the trailer.

Has a lot more in common with something like Dog Soldiers.

Literally just saw this and loved it to bits.


Everything The Goonies should have been

>>18140495
>unreasonable
You're the one holding the dramatic character develop moments of the movie to the standard of an award winning drama.

That's like saying "Hurr the jokes in this horror film weren't as funny as the jokes in this comedy film durr."

>>18140483
ok what did you expect?
this is an alien action film with a hint of comedy.
it needs cliches in order to not only function but exist. its not going to be a hard hitting drama which portrays the youth in such a light that you examine their lives. but you cant say it didnt show a different side of the thugs. of course it did, for one thing the fucking film begins with them mugging a lady, this is the generic image of kids on the block. from then on, the film slowly undermines them with their stupid reactions to the aliens.

if you were expecting for them to be redeemed by saving the aliens than you expected the wrong film. if anything having the boys all of a sudden turn into martyrs for the people of london would have been too unbelievable for the characters. even for a film about aliens.

also btw this film made a greater profit in the wealthier parts of london, specifically in areas populated by a "liberal" student community on release.

>>18138939
watched it last night and thought the same thing, OP. after the ridiculous amounts of hype for this film, it failed miserably.

I agree, OP. ph,wait. I am OP.

>>18140599
I wasn't expecting anything except a good movie, not this pile of schematically arbitrary crap.

It failed to do what it tried to do, that's why I hate it.

I have nothing more to say.

>>18140537
welcome to advertising 101.
sell something like its like something popular.
there is actually a good little article in sight and sound a few months ago which was about how they approached the advertising for this film, they pretty much ignored what one may consider the main target (the thugs portrayed in the film) and aimed to get fans of edgar wrights work, horror films and all those rich kids who like to act like council estate thugs.

to me, thats something beautiful. such a fantastically smart approach.

ITT: OHMIGOD THIS MOVIE WASN'T THE BEST THING EVER, IT SUUUUUUUCKS.

>>18140683
It sucks because it was poorly executed, not because it failed to live up to the hype.

>>18140698
Well, that, like, your opinion man.

>>18140717
And a well-strutted opinion it is. Unlike the rest of you who only like it because you don't know any better.

>>18140698

It wasn't poorly executed at all, I wanted to be entertained, and it over-matched my expectations.
This was similar to the Monster Squad in that it had it's light-hearted, funny moments, but it was mostly...

>>18140738

Oh.
Thread hidden.

>>18140738
>It's all opinions in the end, but my opinions are more correct than yours.

Care to explain why you thought it was poorly executed? Or is your reasoning the same as the bullshit that has already been posted?

>>18140698
putting aside any problems you may have with the narrative and character development of the film.
you cant say that the film itself was poorly executed. it was fucking incredible to look at. beautiful, the cinematography was amazing.

the use of light and smoke along with the monster design itself just blew me away. and thats not even beginning to talk about the great use of music

>>18140761
Will you just get outta here???

All this hate has really sparked my interest in this film. I was going to write it off as another Edgar Wright film, but now I'm interested.

Who knows? If /tv/ hates it, it must be doing something right.

Well, Joe Cornish is a bro, so OP clearly sucks cocks.

>>18140738
>well-strutted opinion
"poorly executed" is the most empty of criticisms one can give a film.
it suggests that not only do you know better than the director but you also have a better idea of what the film should have been in all aspects.

>>18140804
It's a genuinely good movie.

All of the arguments against it so far have been utter shit.

>>18140771
>it was fucking incredible to look at.
I'll give you that.
> the cinematography was amazing
Let's not go that far.

>light and smoke along with the monster design itself just blew me away

They made the monsters so in order to save millions of dollars on CGI. The monsters would have been scarier if their mouths weren't minrave parties.

>>18140835
Thought the teeth were quite creepy and worked well.

>>18140826
I have made countless points on why the film fails. If "poorly executed" was the only one you read, you might want to scroll up.

>>18140833
Name 1 "utter shit" argument I gave.

>>18140857
I'm sure it would look creepy to a 8yo, but for us men.. blue mouths on a black gorilla looks like a marketing ploy to attract scene kids.

>>18140867
>Name 1 "utter shit" argument I gave.
>All

>>18140835
no they made the monsters the opposite of what one usually expects in a cinematic environment where JJ abrahms is a creative force.

they created an alien design which was original to the film, so in future that image can be connected directly to the film. unlike most hollywood films, which seem to have one alien design everyone works around

>>18140881
>thinking he wouldn't be scared if a large, pitch black, hulking beast was running at him with (even if you think the blue teeth are silly)

>>18140893
And.. your point... is?

It was still a clever way to save money.

>>18140890
Nice.

>>18140925
I'd be scared if an octopus with a mustache ran after me.

You would be too.

>>18140867
the earliest argument i see is >It failed to do what it tried to do, that's why I hate it.

>I have nothing more to say.

so this film, putting aside for the moment the fact you know the "thesis" of the film better than those who made it, failed because it didnt do what it tried to do?

i believe thats one step away from the same level of stupidity that is calling a film "hipster"

>>18140929
>It was still a clever way to save money.
Now I assume your the one who has been posting most of the stuff about hating it (no big surprise, your Mark) If true, than I can conclude that you're the one who said they weren't clever.

You've just now said they were clever.

Good job.

>>18140948
>It failed to do what it tried to do, that's why I hate it.

>It failed to do what it tried to do and the end product was a crappy movie

FTFY

>>18140929
sonow youre basing the films worht on its attempt to save money?
does any cost cutting act mean a film fails? can this be applied to every film? why not? why put it to this film to have this seemingly insane criteria?

>>18140941
Yeah I would be (especially seeing as it would be weird to see an octopus running) but I'm not the one saying part of the aliens wasn't creepy.

>>18140957
My Mark?

>You've just now said they were clever.

The way they saved money on putting some effort into the alien were clever, not them movie itself.

>>18140963
what do you mean FTFY?
i quoted directly from you

>>18140975
The aliens were the only saving grace of the movie.
I'm not coming down on the producers for wanting more money.

>>18140976
They would have been more creepy if wasn't for their potty mouth.

>>18141000
>fixed that for you

>>18140978
>not them movie itself.
Now you're arguing semantics. You hate the film for ridiculous reasons.

For some reason you judging this movie based on some ridiculous, and crazy standards.

Allow me to elaborate.
>I want my car to be attractive, somewhat decent gas mileage and be somewhat comfortable
This is setting a high standard (it's not all that high, but you get the picture (oh wait, you're Mark, maybe you don't))
>I want my car to look as good as Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Be as fuel efficient as a mass-produced econo-car, and be as comfortable while driving as a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley is to ride in.
This, is a ridiculously high standard. If you were to judge every single car that gets produced by this standard, then every car would fail.

You're using a ridiculous standard to judge Attack the Block, one that I'm sure you don't use to judge any other movies.

So the question is, why are you using it with this one?
