promethuem5 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 So I was real bored here at college last night, and decided to watch Southland Tales, which I remembered seeing a commercial or two for. I had no idea what it was about going in, as the commercials never provided anything in the way of plot. What followed was one of the most incoherent messes I've ever seen... the visuals and the universe were interesting, along with the opening sequence, but everything from there on was simply garbage... The Rock was the best actor in it, and his role was such a scattered mess until the end (and even then it started to get better and then fell apart again). Couple a mess of a story with some really silly time-travel rearing it's ugly head at the end, some really bland dialog and Justin Timberlake singing and dancing, and you get a stupid and sloppy film that really ends with a whimper... Anyone else watch this? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanedaestes Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I saw it and enjoyed it. Apparently if you read the graphic novel first it explains a lot of the film, or you could just wikipedia it and read the details. It was a very different, artistic and ambition film that will not resonate with everyone but as i said i liked it. I especially like the very serious and dark turns a lot of comedians took for their roles it was interesting to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
