It literally got released 2 days ago after all the talk that it would not, that is barely enough time to watch the film, let alone make a whole review on it. It may be next week's review, or even the week after depending on if Bob had plans already. I just saw it at a mate's place, and it was pretty funny, with Franco being great and some of the B-movie special effects being amusing as well.Xman490 said:Not reviewing The Interview, eh? Just going by whatever comes to press screenings? Oh, well.
For the record, I heard that The Interview is funny in parts, but it relies on toilet humor and has a rushed third act.
Considering during the credits he said that this video was made last week well before The Interview was released he would have to rely on press screenings to see the movie. Even if he did see The Interview as a press screening it still would have been removed from theaters with no point to make a review about it since MovieBob only does one review a week.Xman490 said:Not reviewing The Interview, eh?

Wow, it's almost as if it had been screened for critics over a week ago. That'd be crazy, wouldn't it?! A world where movie critics get to see movies before they come out to formulate a review? That'll /never/ happen. /sDaymo said:It literally got released 2 days ago after all the talk that it would not, that is barely enough time to watch the film, let alone make a whole review on it.

Whilst it is true that the Taliban are hardly a band of saints, there is a difference between "a negative depiction" and "the guy tortures children with a power drill, keeps a bakery full of human body parts and in general acts so cartoonishly evil he should've pledged COBRA instead of al-Qaidah."Uriel_Hayabusa said:Oh, and I hope Bob feels at least a little bit silly to refer to a negative depiction of a Taliban-terrorist as a ''super-villain'' considering all the horrible things the Taliban do and have done. The 2014 Peshawar school massacre is a chilling reminder of that.
I think it's a fair criticism of a movie made to entertain; had Eastwood simply wished to do a Cromwell-esque, warts n' all look at the man then a documentary detailing his life and bolstered with the opinions, observations and anecdotes of those closest to him.ravenshrike said:So basically MovieBob whines that Clint Eastwood decided to do one thing. Namely, tell the story of a man's life. He didn't decide to insert meaning where there wasn't any and for MovieBob this is a Big Deal.
