So is it good?

Allicrombie

That answer is not even remotely close to what leviathan91 was asking. It's a fairly simple question to be honest. "...is it good?" is a yes or no question. What wasn't aksed, and I don't know how you inferred this, is whether or not it's worth watching. But I have to suppose that your repsonse is just a roundabout way of saying it's good.

Is this one of the best movies of the year?

That is a very hard question to answer, unless you've seen every movie that has been and will be released. But it's one of the best films to have been released this year, so far as my opinion goes.

I don't think it's one of the best movies ever like some posts here act like it is. But it's a solid flick. Of this year? Yes.

well, American audiences have shown that they would much rather watch Hotel Transylvania than this

Looper may become another Inception for me. I need to see it a second time so I can just sit back and enjoy watching the movie, like I did with Inception.

Just came back from it. I thought it was okay.

The movie is wayyy overrated though. It was good but not THAT good. I thought the premise was great but the execution felt lacking. The story ends up completely different than what I thought it would be.

just came back from seeing. i thought it was really good overall, but here are some of my gripes:

[spoiler] jgl's character falls onto a car in the beginning of the movie but suffers no noticeable injuries. i mean, he caved in the rooftop, and then we see him sprinting several scenes later.

they say that they created loopers because they can't kill anyone in the future because of some sort of tagging system. this just seems unbelievable in the world they present, because there seems to be no order at all. jeff daniels' character even uses the police during the hunt for jgl and bruce willis. so who would actually care if people were getting killed, and why would it be that big of a issue? hell, they even kill bruce willis' wife in the future.

Yeah...[spoiler] That was my slight problem with the plot. The entire thing is based around Loopers because it's so difficult to kill and dispose of a body in the future. Then they just go and kill Bruce Willis' wife like its nothing. Additionally killing and disposing of bodies is difficult in the future, but their solution is to engage in time travel, something that is supposedly in that time period heavily illegal and extremely prohibited, but I mean that's a lesser complaint, I guess if time travel is harder to trace then it's a safer law to break. [/spoiler]

Can't decide to see this or The Master.

Well I just got back from it and have only one thing to say about it...

Also, the slow-mo kid shots were unintentionally hilarious.sammyjenkis898

The kid's character on the whole was unintentionally hilarious.

Yo sammy we're always best movie bros no matter how many times you're wrong. :P

What the hell did I just watch?

The movie died when JGL arrived at the farm.

Was pretty hyped for it, previews looked really good.

Was disappointed. It wasn't bad, but I was expecting a great movie and it was just decent.

It was amazing untill

[spoiler] the kid was the all powerful being who controls the mob in the future so they have to kill him in the present so Joe can be happy with his wife [/spoiler]

Wot I Think:

- Bruce Willis was right dammit

- Young Joe is an idiot

- What's so bad about killing the kids, especially when you know one of them will turn into the Rainmaker?

- That guy with the ponytail looks so much like a young Jeff Bridges!

- The time travel rules made no sense but it really didn't matter. Great idea to have Bruce say that.

- Magic evil kids suck. Always.

- I felt bad for the badass looper that finds young Joe on the farm

- Emily Blunt is waifu material

- Best scene: old dude falling apart

Watch the movie halfway through and then leave. That way you will be left with the false impression that it is the best movie of the year... the end scuked. It was not just the ending but the lead up to it was kind of dumb imo.

Bruce Willis's as of late seems to be in movies with best trailers, but only to be left disappointed with the final product. Ex. Expendables, Surrogates, etc.
