Re: KNOWING...The critics are trashing it.
What a shame. Every trailer I see makes me more and more excited for this film. I don't know what people's problems are with Nic Cage. I've never taken an issue with any of his acting.
I think people just think that it's now fashionable...the "it" thing to bash him and his films.

"Knowing is among the best science-fiction films I've seen -- frightening, suspenseful, intelligent and, when it needs to be, rather awesome."

The man has spoken!
Most Critics follow social trends... ebert just watches the movie that was made.

Didn't Ebert also give positive reveiws to a pile of stinkers, among them Phantom Menace.
Since he got sick, he has admittedly not wanted to be as harsh on movies as in the past, and gves out positive reviews like candy.

Trashed or not, Unca accomplished something few screenwriters have.
And I know I can live with that.
I hope any cold reception won't reflect badly."I ask every producer I meet if they need TV specs they say yeah. They all want a 40 inch display that's 1080p and 120Hz. So, I quit my job at the West Hollywood Best Buy."

People tend to confuse their tastes with quality or value. “I don’t like it…” or “I don’t understand it… therefore it sucks.” is faulty logic.
The negativity surrounding the film is purely social hyperbowl. The movie has a pushy pace, a story nobody expected, Character development issues, plot is conceptually flawed and overly pulp acting, still not bad things.Last edited by Goober; 03-20-2009, 03:17 PM.

Re: KNOWING...The critics are trashing it.
I'm still hoping that my Villanova Wildcats can someday make it to the Hyperbowl.
Staying on topic, THE PHANTOM MENACE was an inexcusable pile of shi-- excuse me-- poodoo.
Congrats to Unca for getting a film released with his name on it. Something most of us will never see happen.Reaction time is a factor, so please pay attention.
