And for those millions of everywhere posters that keep saying that this is a copy of “Apocalypto”, remember well the time it came out to the cinemas how many reviews did the round saying it was a copy of Stargate because of the damn pyramids! So who’s the uncreative guy now?

And not because someone doesn’t makes something good it “has” to suck! He makes films for people who like his style…and that seems to be the mass. He makes films that bring money for the studios, this money goes exactly right there to compensate the bad sellings of the rest of intellectual films that no one ones to see. Hollywood has to make money to survive, the cinemas have to be filled up, otherwise the studios will never ever again will produce things like the minority of wisdom seekers orbiting this pages want to see. I don’t want to say that he is really good, he’s just necessary, because low budget “intelligent” movies need this big nerdy blockbusters to keep on rolling, almost like parasites. Never wonder why do the cinemas are making less and less profit! You are the reason, people like you that do not like diversity. Bread and games is the only thing the Romans want, someone has to give it to them.

kiko,

Just because someone makes something up doesn’t automatically make it “good” or cuts it from any criticism. Sorry.

I’m a 30-something male and I have to say this one surprised me. Verdict: A few moments of weak CG do not ruin a movie. I don’t want to give anything away as I am the type that loves going into a film without knowing a thing about it.

Much better than expected.

10,000 BC will not make that much loot, its looks like poop and I do not know anyone that wants to see it yet for 300 I didn’t know anyone who was not pumped as hell to check it out. It looks like a cheap rip off of Apocalypto. Apocalypto was an artful piece that was a very good movie and well mad (and I loved that it was not English, so mush more realistic, even though some of the story points where disproved but experts.

The Bank Job looks pretty good though, I know I will def rent it, but prob won’t catch it in theaters, I still need to catch up on Semi-Pro tonight.

NOT. 10,000 BC looks like an Apocalypto ripoff and the CGI is bordering Scooby Doo.

I saw that Miss Pettigrew movie last night…it doesn’t have a chance of huge box office but it was surprisingly good.

At least not a new comic film adaptation. the script was made out of Emmerich’s imagination, that’s something more difficult than copying the efforts from past comics or films…that’s why Emmerich deserves some respect in Hollywood.

This is a flick my mom would want to see…. I know, cuz I’m taking her to it. She cant wait. :rolls eyes:

I’m betting this film will do very well with the 50+ crowd.

10,000 BC looks like something someone thought of while watching those Geico commercials.

after that beauty of a prediction for semi-pro last week, i’m wondering if these tracking folks might not be so reliable…

You’re kidding, right? 10,000 BC will not make $40 mill. Sure the awareness is there, but only because the ads run non-stop. I think you’re off on this one…and I think ladies would probably watch greased up Leonidas than wooly mammoths. This will be an interesting weekend to watch.
