Movie 21

[Alex99]

This was a very awesome movie. I watched this last night on Fox Box Office and loved it.

It stars Kevin Spacy, Laurance Fishburn and the ever so delightful Kate Bosworth.

Must see movie – awesome stuff.

I have not seen it yet but it has had mixed reviews on here in the best and worst thread of 08

I might see it for myself on Box Office tonight. I still have a free one left for this month

I am a fan of Blackjack and casinos though and i will let you know what i think.

I nominated this as the worst movie of 2008 in the best/worst thread. If you are a fan of gambling/casinos then this is a must avoid.

 

[Lensen]

I thought it was good, but the ending was pretty awful.

 

[Hanis]

The ending was laughably bad as were their stupid hand signals that said Laurence Fishburne was suitably badarse and the soundtrack is decent especially the use of "I am unknown" by Scottish band The Aliens

Yeah i almost never gamble or go to a casino. Maybe once or twice a year.

Just finished watching on Box Office and it was O.K. By no means the worst movie i have seen but it did lack a bit of realism especially when casino play was involved. I wasnt dissapointed in it at all but want to view the documentary again that the movie was based on as this movie was based on real life accounts that occured to these college students.

I rate it a 6.5 / 10 and worth a look.

I thought it was a good movie. Not predictable and most of all entertaining.

They were always going to glizt up the gambling aspect of this movie for the average schmuck. People aren't going to go and see a movie of someone sitting there quietly counting cards and gambling for two hours.

I thought it was a pretty good movie and as mentioned Kevin Spacey does an excellent job as usual. It's got lots of glitz and glamor as you'd expect from a movie set in Vegas. Not the greatest movie I've seen but it did entertain me for a couple of hours so that's all I ask of a movie of that kind.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I thought it was lame. Exaggerated hand gestures, always the same "crew" working together, in the same casino in the same hotel every time. It was a bit too unconvincing for me.

 

[Mario the Lothario]

6/10

 

[PHX]

It was extremly average mid-to-end after a decent beginning. In the end its just cheesy and lame.

 

[Butane]

Was pretty cliche'. 6/10. Ok for a Sunday night alone.

 

[Truetiger]

I liked it. I just wish i was smart enough to do it Good film

 

[CF]

Again it was OK, a good "DVD night" movie really. Not the worst movie for 2008 that honor has to go to The Love Guru surely!

Surely no one would even bother watching that to find out if it is officially is the worst!

21 on the other hand was a movie that looked good but turned out very ordinary.

Well not now that it has been shit canned all over the place and given that, it is easy to sound hip and cool in your put down even though you have never seen the movie. No intelligence in just parroting what others have said.

But when it was first released, one could but hope that Mike Myers had produced the goods. After all, he isn't exactly a dud when it comes to movie comedies. Alas, it was a huge dud, maybe even a career destroying dud for Mike Myers. Which is a shame because he is a very funny bloke.

Not many movies live up to the book, unfortunately this film was no exception.

Crappy movie. If you enjoyed the story though, I encourage you to read the book it was based on "Bringing down the House".
