hollywoods horrible remake of the brilliant dutch film "the vanishing". completely ruined the ending.
Eberts opinion:
 Quote:
"The Vanishing" is a textbook exercise in the trashing of a nearly perfect film, conducted oddly enough under the auspices of the man who directed it... The ending of the original "Vanishing" is of a piece with the rest of the film. It is organically necessary to it. No other ending will do. That is why this Hollywood remake is so obscene."

Is this Oldboy film any good?
Bit random I know, but its sitting here and I havent seen it yet.
Oldboy is ******* incredible. just about everything directed by Park Chan-wook is excellent. after you've seen it - watch the rest of his "vengeance trilogy". the other two films are "sympathy for lady vengeance" and "sympathy for mr. vengeance".

I've yet to see a film with a WTF moment to truly put me off it. 
Worst one I've seen has to be Takeshi Kitano's Zatoichi. Near the end he finally reveals that he could see the whole time (choose not to), then right at the end, he trips, then says "Even with my eyes wide open I can't see a thing." 
COULD HE SEE OR COULDN'T HE? BRAIN PAIN!
Seconded or equalled possibly by Casshern's ending.
I definatly agree with you about Casshern, the ending was terrible. I didn't particularly like the movie at all though. lot's of eye candy (way too much CGI), little plot.
but *beat* takeshi's zatoichi? yea, it was a bit silly when he trips but the film kicks so much ass it makes up for it.. even the dance scene at the end.

"A.I." is an enthralling piece of filmmaking, and the least flabby Spielberg picture in several years -- until the ending. There is a perfect moment to close this picture, when David takes control of a sort of submarine-type craft and is about to submerge in the New York waters to find what he's been looking for. But instead "A.I." drags on for a fifteen-minute stretch that goes from unnecessary to weird and ends up simply mawkish. Pity.
I agree that A.I. is a mess of a film. Did the reviewer mention that A.I. was initially a Kubrick film. Having died before completion (even initial filming), Spielburg took it upon himself to finish the film.
