2012: A Review

[CroutonsofDeath{RD}]

I'm kinda boycotting this one, mostly because I'm tired of hearing people yell "2012!" plus my latest venture to the movie theater, I ran into a party leaving the film comprised of relatively old people who looked fairly wise but they were going "OMG OMG Life changing... Im scared now omg omg brilliant movie but scary because its really going to happen" and I was rolling my eyes so much that I lost control and they unscrewed themselves out of the socket and fell out.

As far as Emmerich's movies go... :\ However, I DID like StarGate. I really did! That's the only one that really interested me. Another reason I don't have any interest in this one, is because when it comes to disaster/action movies with no real plot (So that means things like Terminator 2/Inglorious Basterds/Etc. are forgiven since they all had plots and whatnot) I can only take 1 hour and 50 minutes maximum. If it exceeds that, I become emo and try to commit suicide in the theater of total boredom and I've heard this one is a full 2 and a half hours. Barf. Transformers 2 nearly murdered me by having that length and I'm still in trauma, I'm amazed I made it out of the 2 month boredom coma, so I doubt I could handle sitting through 2012.

I personally hated Stargate with such a passion that I find watching Godzilla preferable. Anyway the film takes the piss out of the whole 2012 doomsday concept. I mean this is the same guy who takcled Global Warming with "The Day After Tomorrow"

Also in comparison to Transformers 2...2012 is a bloody work of art.

I will have to agree that my friends and I did our fair share of laughing through that whole thing. And yeah, there's only a few deaths that actually have any emotional attachment to them.

It actually got to the point that my friends and I were trying to point out the falling bodies in the office buildings when they were collapsing. That's pretty bad lol...but it's even funnier how easy it was to see them.

And I'm just going to say this for those of you who have seen it. Gordon. Holy crap. Biggest surprise of that whole movie.
