ada the leading man is my tpye
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
M MALIK this film Babylon Ad:2008 is based on a novel & directed by a french director Matthew Kassovitz.hold on guys let me say this even i though the whole cast got wasted here but ever wonder why because of the terrible editing by the studio the director of this film was angry over this he has every right to be paramount does this a lot but fox should not let their fans down i like their movies it is one of the biggest studio in Hollywood one of my favorite if anyone at fox is reading this please take note.i agree with critics & people who say this film could have been better if the run-time was longer as a lot of action scenes are chopped of specially the car chase scene during the climax where Vin Diesel is blowing things up it looked cool i saw the film it was missing i checked out the censorship report with comparisons of different versions on DVD i say forget those guys it is not worth the money fox needs to release the full uncut version the film would make much more sense.the director blamed fox studio saying they never allowed him to shoot the film as he wanted sad day in history of filmmaking i say i don't know this always happens to foreign directors same thing happened with John Woo almost his every film got edited by Hollywood this is disrespectful.not only during the production but even after the post production studio was interfering now this is being called a french film i am sorry it is a typical Hollywood disaster so please stop saying it is a french film french films are masterpieces because their studios make wise decisions unlike ones in North America. the cast:Vin Diesel looked out of shape but in the shower scene he looks sexy with hairy chest so i sat through this only for him this is definitely one of his weakest performance ever,Michelle Yeoh & Charlotte Rampling got wasted but Melanie Thierry is a nice eye candy but she can do some serious acting if given the right material.the plot:set in the future this is the story of a smuggler who is banned from entering USA he gets a job to deliver a girl inside USA but things don't go easy as always the bad guys are coming after him.the theme was nice it was a interesting concept and had the usual science fiction mixed with mythical & religious nonsense etc.it looked like a road trip movie i tried to enjoy this only because of Vin Diesel even he could not save this mess of a project what is here to talk about direction honestly it was nicely done but hey it don't even matter as a action junkie i would say this movie is crap but on the other hand as a person who likes films with great plots and narratives i would say this film would have nailed it i mean it it could have been the best film of the last decade but sadly the fox studio is responsible for this mess there is too much editing done it looks like the editors wanted to make a mash-up dance video this is why the characters are loose cannons & film don't make much sense no matter what.Overall Babylon A.D:2008 is only for hardcore Vin Diesel fans only i have to say i am one so i watched this only for him my rating is 3/10.
Jordanandreou I thought this film was relatively far fetched however, easy to get into if watched from the start. I thought the story line and quality of acting was good and really got me into the film. It is quite complicated and requires full attention if you are to follow and understand the story line.However, the whole reason for me writing this review was to share my disappointment of the ending. I found the ending of this film awful and gave the story line no point. If this film were to have a good ending I would have given it a much higher rating but I felt that it was contradicting of the story line. I would recommend this film for people who like futuristic and sci-fi films but if not this film isn't for you.
marlon_jardim This movie is a very simple action movie, full of clichés popping out of the screen every minute or so. Even for the unambitious pretension of "action movie", it stills falls short of what you could expect to be a good one. Surely it has some qualities, but they are greatly overshadowed by the weak plot, directing, etc. If you are a fan of dystopian stories, you may enjoy watching it for its background story, but the main one is simply... bad. I, particularly, enjoyed the movie mainly because it's so bad I kept laughing at it. If you aren't so lighthearted, and doesn't have a particular taste for dystopia, you should steer clear of this movie.
FlashCallahan In a near future, mercenary Toorop is hired to take a woman named Aurora from aConvent in to New York. In return, he will receive a large amount of money and a clear passport. Toorop joins Aurora and her guardian Sister Rebeka as they cross the dangerous Russian landscape chased by mercenaries that also want Aurora. On their journey, Toorop discovers that Aurora has special abilities and once in New York, Aurora discloses that she is a virgin and pregnant with twin., Toorop realise that there is something sinister behind his mission and that he and Sister Rebeka are not part of Gorsky's plans.Another huge failure from Diesel and Co, this was more of the studios fault rather than the star and director, and it's clear that this was chopped up to the point that it's almost difficult to comprehend what is going on other that we move from set piece to set piece with little happening I between.If you liked Diesel in A Man Apart and other below average offerings from him (more or less everything he's done post Pitch Black), you will discover that he plays the same character in every film, looking moody and fed up.Mark Strong and Cyrano De Bergerac show up for no good reason, and the whole thing finishes abruptly without much explanation of anything.It's Children of Men for people with a non-existent attention span, and while not as bad as it made out to be, it's pretty darn close.
