Movie "Limitless" is pretty cool. Definitely not award winning or anything like that, but definitely entertaining.

The Counselor was decent despite all the negative reviews it received

Yeah, for me The Counselor was all about appreciating the monologues and the scenery being chewed by the actors. If you're looking for traditional narrative, you won't like it...

That said, I also wouldn't mind seeing it again in a few months. Ridley Scott did a good job with the visuals (as always).

I didn't like limitless it lacked originality its been done before and was just so predictable.

What movie did it before?

Limitless was really fun because it showed all the stuff that you wish you could do if you were super smart. But the ending was really shitty IMO, completely unrealistic.

The Counselor was decent despite all the negative reviews it received

I really liked Limitless. Had some cool eye-boggling effects. Haven't seen The Counselor but pretty much every critic panned it.

It is definitely worth watching. I watch a lot of movies (of all kinds), and I honestly think it is much better than the reviews claim

I saw Limitless, definitely worth a watch but not really one that I can imagine wanting to watch again any time soon.

Any similar films to "Now you see me"? I don't want any mindfuck. With some mistery, but no scarness at all. AT ALL. I like those where thay are slowly solving some kinda mistry and finally finds what they where searching for. Those treasure hunting like Indiana Jones and Lara Croft were good, but i saw them already. With some kinda "real" history would be cool, like Knights Templar misterys or something like that.
Thanks a lot.

What about The Da Vinci Code or National Treasure?

Da Vinci Code bored me, I'm not sure what I expected but it was something of a snoozefest as I recall. Doesn't make it a bad film, but just wasn't one that I could get into.

Angels and Demons was the other movie that went along with DaVinci code I think. That one was pretty decent too...

Yeah it was good.I watched it.

Angels and Demons is far better than the Da Vinci Code.

Da Vinci Code bored me, I'm not sure what I expected but it was something of a snoozefest as I recall. Doesn't make it a bad film, but just wasn't one that I could get into.

Try to read a Da Vinci Code book, it's much more interesting compared to movie.

The film was very disappointing and doesn't live up to the book at all. I haven't seen Angels & Demons yet. Think they're making The Lost symbol film soon.

I think as a blanket statement, typically movies don't live up to the books that they were based on. Common sense would say that the movies would be more interesting than the books, since it is all visual, but somehow it always seems to be the opposite. It is probably because movies crunch about 10-20 hours of reading into 1.5 hours of viewing. A lot of people can't find the time to read a 3 inch thick book, so they have to settle for the movie.

Yeah, that's true and I agree, but I always try to read the book first before I watch the film. One film that is better than the book is The Devil's Advocate. Book is one of the shittest I've read and the film actually has more literary merit.

Yes, that is an oldie but goodie. I don't usually like Keanu Reeves. Have you noticed that he is always in movies with some sort of devil involved? How sick is Al Pacino's office with that massive stone desk and the huge balcony with no rail? That is the dopest office I have ever seen!

Yeah, there's some great scenes/dialogue in it, none of which are in the book. This is my favourite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGR4SFOimlk
