This adaptation looks well cast, and I look forward to it.

Title: The Men Who Stare at Goats Post by: Ozzu on October 14, 2009, 10:48:52 PM Just saw a trailer for this earlier tonight. This really looks funny and the lineup of actors is really good.

Not nearly as good as it should have been. It had some funny moments, but somewhere in the last 30-45 minutes, it went way off the rails. :heartbreak: Title: Re: The Men Who Stare At Goats Post by: UnSub on August 15, 2010, 07:52:37 AM Yes, it never quite hits the heights it promises to.
However, not a waste of a film and I appreciate Clooney playing a nut. Title: Re: The Men Who Stare At Goats Post by: Samwise on August 15, 2010, 10:38:56 AM My main complaint with the movie is that it should have ended about two seconds earlier. :awesome_for_real:
Title: Re: The Men Who Stare At Goats Post by: K9 on January 11, 2011, 03:54:53 PM I'm trying to watch this at the moment on iPlayer but I don't make more than 3-4 minutes before I get bored and alt-tab out.
Pity. Title: Re: The Men Who Stare At Goats Post by: JWIV on January 11, 2011, 05:17:08 PM I really wanted to like this but it ended up boring both my wife and I. I like Clooney a lot, but the movie just never really clicked.
Title: Re: The Men Who Stare At Goats Post by: pxib on January 11, 2011, 05:19:30 PM I want to say again that it's a fantastic book and recommend you read it. The film, checked out from the library, is dreck. The screenplay is poorly paced, the scenes are poorly edited, and the adaptation makes all the wrong decisions for all the wrong reasons. It takes what was a believably bizarre story and turns it into an obvious fiction.
Fail. Title: Re: The Men Who Stare At Goats Post by: Teleku on January 11, 2011, 11:43:27 PM You people suck. Saw this in the theater, loved it. Had family go see it, they loved it. Its a quirky weird dark comedy. I enjoyed.
Title: Re: The Men Who Stare At Goats Post by: Mrbloodworth on January 12, 2011, 09:47:06 AM Yes, this was a fun film with some really good stuff in it, I need to watch it again.
