Its not a grand sort of film like his more recent ones. Its just totally off the wall weird and hilarious. Serious at times too but just really goofy. Definitely worth a watch.

I thought it was very good, but was slightly disappointed, because I expected it to be epic, and it wasn't.

I was really let down by it. I thought it was too choppy and it jumped scene to scene without any flow. I usually really enjoy military movies (I have no affiliation with the military, I justlike them) and I think that's why I was let down. I expected a lot more.

By all accounts the problem with Kane is attitude....that's scary....say what you want about Schenn's skill level in comparison, his work ethic and attitude has never been in question....makes you wonder if the rumors were true at the draft about both Schenn's being offered for Kane.

I think making media reports into the truth, needs to be done with a lot of caution involved. Tyler Seguin had an attitude problem also. I find most media accounts, when it comes to this kind of stuff, to have a very low percentage of accuracy.

I agree with that, from home to deployment 1, back home, deployment 2, etc.

Exactly. It didn't allow me to get to know the characters intimately. Nor was it action packed enough to make up for that. It just left me feeling meh.

Premise:

Advanced stats are useless in baseball. An 18 year old player can be evaluated by a blind scout because he can hear the hitch in the player's swing.

Kind of like they didn't spend enough time in each subsection so to speak. To be fair, there is a lot of ground they had to cover.

Past history, which is why I included the example of Tyler Seguin. Man, did Boston screw up on that one.

Don't get me wrong. I didn't think it was awful, I just wasn't impressed or worth the hype. I left disappointed.

In Boston Seguin was a bit of a gong show...very immature....party animal....the trade was a wake up call......and yes Boston did screw that one up.

You know they're going to make the playoffs, and all this will be for naught.

Sorry bro, but Kassian isn't even in Couturier or B Schenn's league as a player. I see Kassian's upside at best is developing into a 3rd line winger. I have very little interest if any.
- MJL

I disagree. I think his development could go either way. Not a very good fit in Vancouver. Right now this team could use a tough third liner.

Yes. There was a barrel scene. Lots of killing of Orcs
- PhillySportsGuy


And a big awesome dragon. The scene with Bilbo and Smaug is the best part of the whole trilogy hands down.

Kassian is not a 3rd line player on this team. He wouldn't be on many.

I stand by my comments on page one. He's still not a guy I would especially be interested in.
