A Movie that was better than expected
« on: January 25, 2013, 01:46:54 pm »
Have you seen any movies recently that were a lot better than you expected them to be?

I recently saw Jack Reacher. I went in with pretty low expectations, but thought it was pretty good.

I am so sick of what Hollywood is dishing out that I do not go to the movies much anymore.  I do want to see Lincoln someday.

Hmm...the last time this happened to me was with Sean of the Dead. Poorly advertised, but the movie was fantastic.

Cabin in the Woods. I thought it was gonna be just another new age crappy horror movie but it actually turned out to be a lot of fun. It's not a scary movie but more of a monster movie.

Recently rented, "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer," which is not my normal type of rental at all.  But--I thoroughly enjoyed it.  It was fun watching Lincoln go all-ninja on those vampires, and with a subject like this one you don't have to worry much about historical accuracy at all.  I liked it more than I thought I would.

Argo was a great movie.  It was very dramatic and complling.  I recommend it to all adults.  It will open your eyes to what can and is happening.   :wave: :angel12: :o

"Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer," history and fiction come together.

Didn't really think I would like Django Unchained but it was much better than I had expected.

Hope Springs was much better than I expected. Glad to hear about Jack Reacher because I plan on seeing it.

I saw Parental Guidance last month and I have to say that it was better than I was expecting.  I thought it would be good but it was beyond that.  It made me laugh and then cry and then laugh again.

Oh, I so agree that Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was MUCH better than I expected.  But, thank you, I want to see Jack Reacher and now that I have read your endorsement, I am SURE I will!  It was just seeming that some of the more recent Tom Cruise movies have lacked the bang he had before.  I was not impressed with the Mission Impossible movies and a few others he has done, but now I will be sure to check this one out.

Thank you again!
