It was kind of a kids' movie - an extremely, extremely boring kids movie. It looked nice, and Jolie did as much with it as she could, but the plot was meh at best and storytelling was duuuuullllll. I barely made it through the whole thing. I think I even cranked up the DVD player on my computer to watch it 15% faster than reality (an awesome feature standalone DVD players should have) and it still drug on like a gimpy two legged buffalo. Imagine Tomb Raider 2 if it was done in a stylized manner - that's how dull Sky Captian was.
And Giovanni Ribisi sucked even more than Paltrow. I wanted his annoying character to die every second he was on screen. ~Ron --- On Wed, 1/7/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [The Unique Geek] Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, January 7, 2009, 12:30 AM Is freaking incredible! Why wasn't it a big smash? I loved it. I took it out from the library to get some costume ideas and I was blown away! I mean Paltrow sucks, but Paltrow sucks in everything, but Jude Law was great (and he is not always) and Jolie is hardly in it but looks cool. The dialog was hilarious, the design was great. Just fun, like a sci-fi Mummy sorta. Like a live-action Fleischer cartoon. I read somewhere recently that Speed Racer was a bomb because they marketed it to adults. Maybe that happed here too (becuase I don't think it did well). It should have been advertised as a kid's movie, since that's really what it is, but a great one. I'm really late to the party here. How did the rest of you recieve it? Or did you skip it? I did, when it came out because I was burned out on the stars. I think this will be revisited in a few years and come back as a matinee kids pic. Super! Get a free MP3 every day with the Spinner.com Toolbar.
