The only thing I’d watch with Matt Damon in it, is if he filmed his self-immolation. Damon is in a dogfight with Sean Penn for the title of “Most Irritating & Overrated Actor”.

Gran Torino was very good. Clint earned the right to try a high-risk clunker. I’ll skip it, like I skip most of his artsy, directorial experiments.

You could tell it was going to be a PC worship film. My daughter complained because they pronounce Invictus wrongly. It’s In-wik-toos

Give me The Outlaw Josey Wales or Dirty Harry EVERYTIME. The glorification of Nelson Mandela is not my idea of a good time. Great that South Africa has been able to maintain relative peace since Apartheid ended, but, no...

"Politically, Sean Penn is a POS. Acting-wise, he's fantastic. " Did you see "All the Kings Men"? That's 2 hours of my life, I'll never get back.

Heck, even the trailers are boring... nothing in them made me want to go see the movie... just more rewriting of history and social engineering from the left... poooy!
To: AJKauf
I could tell from the trailers this would be a monumental turd. It’s clearly just a vehicle to tell the masses how wonderful Nelson Mandella is.
I don’t know a lot about Mandella, he may be a very fine person, but to have a movie beating you over the head with it, well, that’s just not entertainment.

Agreed, but I really thought the “Jesus Christ pose” at the very end was really, really ham-handed, other than that I enjoyed the heck out of it. And oddly enough, you can buy a mint condition Gran Torino for under $10k

I was considering seeing this one this weekend. I typically like Damon, Eastwood and Freeman ... so I was optimistic. Not so sure anymore.
