since when did IMDB use advanced generic tags?

the content and direction of the film is straight film-noir. it deals with crime, in a dated american setting, with nihilist/absurdist themes.

'neo' because it uses modern, updated filming techniques and methods (i.e. actually filmed in colour first and washed out)

you're wrong. stop trying to pick a stupid argument that doesn't exist.

and try actually fucking watching a film before making shitty comments... food for thought in a movie-review thread

what i like about you is that you somehow think it's worth congratulating yourself over putting such shitty bait out in the first place

honestly the last 4 posts of yours are so worthless. not even entertaining 'trolling'.

you're doing the 'being a purposeful dumbass' act as if its original, or as if we already dont have a shifty/warman

GREAT JOB!

Salt - 6 - Pretty predictable mindless action spy flick, but nothing special or original.

Law abiding citizen - 5 - Ohhh, this one had potential. Was heading for a solid 8, by omg did that ending spoil it. All I could think of was it's like the jackal all over again, an awesome movie ruined by the bullshit sappy the hero must win ending. Ahhhh.... so disappointed.

The Town - 6/10

Wow, I thought this was supposed to be really good...?  It had an interesting premise but not so well executed.  And it just went on forever and ever... and drifted away from the storyline too much.  It was bearable to watch but really not that good at all.

I thought the Town was pretty good. Maybe it's because of how familiar it is to HEAT.

On an interesting sidenote, it was Ben affleck's directing debut. So yay for him.

TRON: Legacy was absolutely fantastic. It was everything that the first movie should have been. Definitely /10.

Gone Baby Gone was his directing debut. I taught they were both deadly, he's a better director than actor lol

The gap in technology is entirely irrelevant. The original TRON movie, even with all of the technobabble, had an incredibly weak story.

ok maybe it's because it's been a long time since I saw a good movie, coupled with the fact that I absolutely love mystery flicks such as this, but I'm giving it an epic 8.5/10

an absolute must-see. also better to know nothing of the plot beforehand, it'll be more fun that way

The entire concept of Tron is a wholly unrealistic jumble of nonsense that calls for complete suspension of disbelief. Its strength was in the visuals, not the story.

A History Of Violence - 5/10

Can't believe how quickly this was over, did it ever get started? I thought it might just be developing into something good, then bang, the end. What there was, was average. The plot was rushed and full of clichés, poor script, random sequence of scenes etc....I thought it was just a weak film.

Why this has an IMDB rating of 7.6 I will never know.

A story grounded in fiction does not need to be a story grounded in inanity. To dismiss the story of TRON because the movie was carried by the visuals is to dismiss the the potential of the concept, which TRON: Legacy most certainly proves to go way beyond what TRON delivered.
