[livejournal.com profile] hotmarscube wanted to see the movie 'Drive' because it got "good" reviews.

Yea.

Sure.

Well, now I know what the critic was on - and it wasn't excitement from seeing the movie. Let's put it this way - arthouse 'action' movies SUCK ROCKS. Slow car chases (including lots of hiding and looking 'normal'), 80's slow music and lots and lots and LOTS of long non-conversations consisting of few words and longing looks. Uhg. No explosions, only two rolled cars and 'slow' chases (of which there were not that many). Oh lots of cursing and violence as well as some gratuitous naked boobs.

Give me a testosterone fulled, blow 'em up action movie any time!

I read in the LA times this morning that while critics gave it high praise, the audience gave it a "dismal C-". Ha. Boy, I'd say more like a D-. Only the first 30 minutes were anything close to good.

Thanks for coming along, even if the movie did suck rocks!
