12 angry men

by Anima • 23 May 2010, 11:10 • Journals
i watched this movie yesterday night thinking that it's gonna be a good movie (its on nr 7 on IMDB or something.) but what a boring movie i was yawning the whole time and i know the movies on IMDB top 10 give you like this feeling of awesomeness after the movie but i was watching it and all of a sudden it ended and i thought wtf? is this it?.

so what i dont understand is how the fuck did it get so high on the top 250? i mean i do understand the message its trying to give to the watcher but the movie is at the top where godfather 1,2 is and pulp fiction. it got me so confused yesterday i was trying to think it over for like 30 mins why it should be on that place and i just couldnt figure out why.

if you watched the movie and you feel different about it plz share i wanna know why its so high

Most of the movies before 90' are slow and very boring, but ppl like to hype them to show how oldschool they are. Sure there are few exceptions.

Dont even try to reply on me, this is my opinion ^_^

For me the best old movie is The neverending story http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088323/. Cried when the horse died :(

Had the same with the godfather. Thought it was too boring and slow.

Downloaded one flew over the cuckoo's nest which is also a 70's movie. Hope it's going to be good.

Godfather was copied so many times that it makes you feel its unoriginal and boring, but when it first came out everyone was like holy shit what was that. I really enjoyed watching all three Godfather movies in a row though.

I'm also watching those really old movies of imdb top 250 atm. I must say Rear Window was quite nice. 12 angry men is an interesting movie, too. I wouldn't consider them as good as they have been rated, though. Citizen Kane however was really shit. I tried to watch it with an open mind and I forced myself to watch the whole movie. Will never understand why so many people hype it as the best movie ever.

Gonna watch Seven.Samurai, The Birds & It's a Wonderful Life soon.

I also watched Rear Window recently, and 12 angry man quite some time ago. Liked both, and also couldn't get into Citizen Kane. Seven Samurai on the other hand are awesome.

tbf, it's actually a pretty good movie. But then if you don't like slow dialogue based films then I wouldn't even bother trying to download the majority of the old movies in imdb's top lists

i dont care if a movie is long or short or slow, fast etc.as long as its well... good :D. but what i think of this movie is that it doesnt deserve its spot as nr 7 tho, i understood the movie quite well and the message it tries to give, but to be at the top with all those great movies? dont think so.

Those old movies, you have consider the grade at the time the movie was made.
You can't compare an horror movie in the '60s to a modern horror movie.

We think of ourselves as the generation of random, but after seeing A Clockwork Orange i had to reconsider that.

Transformers 2 much better :]

Nonix 23 May 2010, 15:11

Its a really well made movie. In terms of skill and storytelling then having a limited cast and stage etc makes the focus much more just on the acting and story which are really well done

Think a few people have mentioned its a wonderful life, rear window as well - good old movies and well told stories which is what it's all about.
