Five years is a long time isn't it?

[tylerolsonfilms]

this was one of the first stockman reviews I ever saw

[ChrisStuckmann]

@AnnaBarton10 Yeah I posted it on my facebook days ago haha you must not be friends with me on there.

I just wish Mel's character's problem with the puppet was resolved with a less violent plot device. The ending was tonally off.

[SeeItInIMAX]

I am not sure if I'll be able to see this film in the theatres because it wasn't allowed to be released worldwide due to the sketchy reception it got in art house cinemas. But I do want to see this. I agree with Chris on what he said about actors being directors and the communication between other actors. There are quite a few actors out there that direct and their good at it.

i just finished watching the movie and omg i loved it so much, very original, as you said in your review. also interesting that this review is 10 years old.

[broghad]

Chris used to be laid back and cool
Nowadays he'd cancel Mel Gibson instead of being "non judgemental"

[MikeBannShow]

i always tell people what you said, separate the art from the artist like when tom cruise was going crazy i said that should not keep you away from his movies, he is so talented and thats the same thing with mel gibson, great review

[projektSoulXpat]

Separate the art from the artist. And yes, if we were being followed by cameras, we'd be doing more stupid and crazy shit. Stop judging Mel Gibson. He already repented and asked for forgiveness. Who are we to judge the man?

[BambuProductions]

I'm definitely going to check out if gets release here. I agree with your position on judging famous people. Good review!

[gristlefat]

watching in 2016, took me forever to watch DA BEVAR!

[JimmyneutronwasokayIguess]

@TyJensenable well that's your opinion. I just think it's much better then a lot of people are saying. Not a masterpiece or anything but it's still great.

[JimmyneutronwasokayIguess]

@TyJensenable I am sick of people saying crap about Avatar. The story seems very much like Dances With Wolves but only at first glance as i've watched it more i've appreciated the story more. It has so many sci-fi flourishes that it seems kind of original you just have to look at it in a different perspective. The first 2 hours are kind of slow but there's enough eye candy to keep me moderately entertained sadly that doesn't make it good but the exciting & moving final hour does. Powerful movie

[StuffedBurritoEnt]

Very excellent review. I've been wanting to see this for the longest time.. It sucks that it's bombing in limited release. How easily the public forgets how talented Gibson is and the classic films he's made for us. Like you said, We all say stupid things when we're mad and drunk but because he was recorded saying that stuff, he's beneath us all. Bullcrap. I like Gibson, I respect him as an actor and director. I want to see this film.

[TheRocknRollfreak]

Good review! I'm gonna have to wait to see this on dvd though I don't think the movie is coming anywhere near where I am.

[KubaRoman]

agree with you about judging people! we all make mistakes....just the majority of us have the luxury of not having everything recorded in our lives...but great review! ill wait for the dvd/blu ray release..too many big movies this summer i gotta save up for :p

[sergioccs]

Wow Chris, what a change, you look a lot more presentable now hahaha

[sfighter]

I've seen the first trailer, and the premise looks really good.
