booboom 0 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Did anybody see the Island? I don't know why but I absolutely LOVED this movie. I saw it on Friday (opening day) and again on Sunday. I'm going to see it again today. I keep taking people to witness the greatness of this spectacular movie. While I'm on the subject, what's the most times you guys have seen the same movie in the movie theaters? Mine will be the Island because I expect to see it at least 3 more times before it leaves the box office. My previous was 2 and that was Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Also, Feel free to discuss how much you either liked or disliked The Island. And before I forget, Scarlett Johansson is so bomb! Link to post Share on other sites
SAM_Hard8 50 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Scarlett Johansson is amazing. I actualy payed twice to see Lost in Translation because of her. How much does she show in this movie?I saw Star Wars 26 times at the Eastwood theater when it first came out. A friend of mine has seen Rocky Horror so many times she lost count around 300!

booboom 0 Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 omg thats amazing. 300 times? Scarlett doesn't really show anything in this movie. There is a sex scene but it barely shows anything at all. I hardly even count it as being a sex scene. Link to post Share on other sites

devilsslide 0 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 How close is the plot of this movie to that of The Matrix (the first one), i.e. things are not as they appear, must break from those that are oppressing you, etc?My current record is Jurassic Park 7 times Link to post Share on other sites

At least its not as hard as the matrix was to understand at first. These two movies aren't too similar in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
MarionSauce 0 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I wish Ewan McGregor would pull out a light saber at some point in the movie. Link to post Share on other sites

I'll see it tomorrow because you recommend it so highly Link to post Share on other sites

devilsslide 0 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hey Dood! I just saw the movie and I thought it was great. Normally when someone tells me that a movie is good I expect too much and end up dissapointed. The Island did not dissapoint-- nice recommendation.Scarlett Johansson is so bomb!Agreed.

booboom 0 Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 I'm glad you liked it Devilslide. What about you Marion? I saw it again today and I can't believe that I still get shivers at certain parts during the movie. I expect to see it again this week with some other amigos. I can't believe I'm such a nerd for this movie. Oh well... Link to post Share on other sites
NortonFan 0 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Have not seen it yet. Most times iv seen a movie in the theaters is 6 times and that was Sin City. So many hot women. Link to post Share on other sites
poguemahone68 0 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I went and saw it last night. I thought it was good, but no real plot twists or anything. It's definitely a summer hollywood action blockbuster.Scarlett is hot as usual, but damn I'd like to see her get nekkid. Ewan was cool. Buscemi is always great.I didn't think there was anything original in this movie though. Lots of similarites with the Matrix, Logan's run and Coma. It had lots of potential, but just didn't go anywhere. It could have been a mindbender, but settled for eyecandy.I bet the anti-stem cell research folks will love it.Having said all that, I still recommend it. It's an entertaining movie, with some good visuals. Link to post Share on other sites
