Lone Wolf

Sorry this review is sorta sloppy. I was distracted as I was writing it. Didn't help that I was still trying to decide what I thought of it. One thing I meant to clarify was that the scenes between Zeus and Hades were my favorite because despite how brief they were, it was the only time I felt any true sense of development and watching gods, all-powerful beings, reveal how emotionally vulnerable they are is such an interesting subject matter for me.

I'm sure that's how many people feel about the camera style. Even I was predicting it, and I forgot to mention how I enjoyed the film being almost exclusively from Katniss' point of view. But even after expecting that camera style and trying to except its inevitability, I still was disappointed. I think partly because it's such an overused and cliched technique in modern-filming that I've just begun to miss the long shots that created the scope of the scene. I understand that "Hunger Games" is a story about humanity and all and I fully understand the use of a camera angle/style to give the viewer an idea of what a character is feeling. But for the start of the game, many kids start dying and it's not just Katniss who's in danger, so I feel like a more generalized shot would've been better for that one part. The following scenes I can understand, but for the most brutal part of the movie, I just thought it would've been more satisfactory.

:P I actually wrote this on Facebook, but then my friend said I should re-post it here to spread the positivity of the film. I don't think I'll really get active here again, but whatever reviews I make on Facebook, I'll be sure to put on here.

Love it. I especially appreciate the concentration camp setting for Erik's poster. Very reminiscent of one the comic book covers.

Scrape that question. I didn't read the description.

OH! MY! GOD!!!!! FINALLY! THUNDERCATS! HO! It looks very different, but in a great way. Adds more depth to the history of the ThunderCats. Kind of like an origins story in an alternate timeline. Although, I have to ask, is Panthero not in the new series.

Very cool. One highlight to me for the "Transformers" flicks was the character design. It blew me away with how complex and organic each Transformer looked. Far cooler than the ol' cartoon, and I say that as a big fan of the original shows and comics. I really like Megatron's look for this one. I was expecting him to resemble his "dragon form" a bit for some reason, but the Sith-esque look works really well. Not what I expected, but still awesome.

"Come on down to the William Clinton Presidential Library where we have full internet access, with no parental blocks....yeah."

@Narrator, nah. I'm not much of a political conspiracy theorist or anything. I just love politcal humor. Both the "sophisticated" kind and the very simple kind like what I just said.

Funny thing, at my school, I'm a kid who is told to look like ALOT of people. Harrison Ford, Christian Bale, Micheal J. Fox and plenty more. But one I hear the most that just kind of stuck with me was Bill Clinton. (I used to comb my hair like his back in middle school and early high school, but even then I still can't see the resemblance). And people who think that ALWAYS greet me as "Bill" and I of course will do an impersonation of him. (Impersonations is a bit of a hobby/skill I have) and I was just thinking earlier today that I should go to school one day since it's my senior year and dress like Bill Clinton. Suit, hair color, hair style, voice, everything just for those people who get a kick out of it.

Perfect example: W. doesn't speak while Cheney's drinking water, check that stuff out.

@Narrator, I guess A.D.D. is what we have to pay for "electing" George Bush twice. :P

@Narrator, A.D.D. is probably the best way to put it.

@Supes, well seeing as you seem to be one of the funny guys around here, it doesn't surprise me you are a professional at it. Randomocity is indeed one of the best forms of comedy. Just look at the brilliant show "Robot Chicken".
