Proudiddy's Sometimes Weekly, Semi-Monthly Recently Released to Home Media, Movie Review - "Flight"

[TylerDurden]

Disappointing.

[4Corners]

Yeah right bro this moving was very good.

Denzel doesn't make bad movies.

The ending could have been a little better but this movie is certainly one I would recommend and Denzel deserved his Oscar nod.

[Happy Panther]

I liked it. Didn't think it was best of the year but DW's performance was great I thought. And Cheadle too.

Of course it was a night i decide to crawl into a bottle of vodka which was ironic. But I didn't end up on the floor or snort coke to wake up the next day.

I thought it would have been better if he beat the whole thing but i don't see how they would have written it realistically.

[Darth Biscuit]

Hmmm, I quite enjoyed it.

[4Corners]

Yeah I thought it was good as sh1t.

Plus you get to see that Latina slut from My Name is Earl butt nekkid. She is smoking hot bro

Man, I wouldn't put it up anywhere near his best. Man on Fire and Training Day were AMAZING performances... To me, those were all-time GREAT performances.

I just had a hard time with this movie because guys like Denzel and Cheadle are incredible actors, some of the best out there... The problem with the movie was the characters and the plot itself. The role didn't test him as an actor, so it was just par for the course in what was expected.

*POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT*

I was expecting a huge twist - like perhaps it was all a dream and he actually died the morning he was doing coke before the flight or in the flight itself, and the girl Nicole was also dead from an OD, as well as the cancer patient they talked to at the hospital. So towards the end, I was waiting for that reveal and the longer it carried on, the more I saw where it was going. There was no surprise. I knew when they asked him whether it was him or the girl that drunk the bottles on the plane, he was going to take responsibility.

So, to me, it was the equivalent of reading a synopsis and then watching it after the fact. I fully expected what happened so IMO, it wasn't challenging for him to pull that off as an actor. There was no moment after the plane crashed where I felt on the edge of my seat or enamored with his performance.

I'm starting to question whether I should ever check out another "critically acclaimed" one-word titled movie again... It kind of reminded me of "Drive" with Ryan Gosling in terms of the expectations going in and then the letdown after the fact.

I basically felt at the end of the movie, "I just watched an hour and a half movie about a drunk who had a bad day on the job." I could just hang out with some of my cousins and get a much more exciting and dangerous experience without the pilot part... just replace the plane with a scooter or stolen car.

I'm not saying it was bad, and Denzel is one of my favorite actors. But, it wasn't that good IMO. Comparable to the runaway train movie he did... Just not much substance to it.

I felt the exact opposite. I watched it with my Dad. He said halfway through the movie, "Does Denzel make any bad movies?" Which i replied, "Even his poo movies are good." Anyone who has gone through alcoholism or knows someone that has knows this was a great movie. Denzel is one of the greatest actors of our time.

i think a good portion of my favorite movies are one word titles.

I actually said that to my wife, that it seems like it was targeted to or would resonate more with someone who has had personal struggles with alcohol or addiction. And the other thing was, I've been friends with high-functioning drunks, and there are still signs of a problem. The movie didn't convey those "everyday problems" just that he was running away from problems and using alcohol as an escape.

Perhaps I've seen it too much in reality to where I felt frustrated with the movie because of it. Still, I don't think it was one of his better roles. No, he doesn't make bad movies, but IMHO, this wasn't one of his best.

[TheRed]

I thought it was a very good film. I didn't drink for a couple weeks after watching it though.

Oh and wtf, you don't like Drive either? I am disappoint.

Not to get into too much detail, but my father has dealt with drunks in his family. The excuses, the coming over to the house only when they are drunk, the weird behavior. It definitely wasn't a detailed movie about alcoholism like say, Nil by Mouth, but it struck a nerve with him. I just watched it simply because Denzel was in it, and I enjoyed every second of it.

Airliner flying upside down. Yeah big surprise it sucked. Did anyone actually watch that trailer and think it would be good? Didn't watch.
