    Not bad. Other than a few glaring laws of physics issues, and a thicker than average hero theme, it's still a pretty entertaining WWII action flick.

    FURY is a rather infuriating film. World War II is a distant memory now, and David Ayer's feature doesn't have anything very new to add to the movies set during that awful period. Unlike, say, Quentin Tarantino who also starred Brad Pitt in a World War II movie, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, and had fun with it, you could hardly describe anything about this film as fun. It's true that many of the action scenes are very well staged, and that the scene in which Collier and Norman visit the apartment of a couple of German women is filled with tension, but the film suffers from the fact that none of the characters is given anything in the way of a back story - we know nothing about them, and so it's hard to care about them, even when they do an unlikely 300 Spartans for the film's protracted climax. In addition, much of the heavily-accented dialogue is pretty incomprehensible.

    You're quoting me while at the same time linking a review from someplace else about a flick you haven't seen. Do you also pay rent in this alternate reality you seem to commute to daily?

    ...I really don't get why they needed to include the pretense of an actual narrative here. It was weird. As a travelog of lulz, ala Jackass, it would have worked just as good. The hidden camera motif when there was nobody around just didn't really work. I know that the Ali G and Borat, etc. movies were more like this but somehow it seemed distracting to me here. That said, on more than one occasion I thought I might have a stroke or throw up from laughing so hard.

    Fantastic film! Wahlberg might just get another Oscar nod for his work here. I was captivated from the beginning and although slow at times overall the movie worked and is extremely well done.

    ...the "found footage" aspect was so poorly done and half-assed, it was totally distracting. The director was a moron in this choice. It would have been twice as enjoyable changing nothing else but making it straight narrative style occasionally cutting to one of the cameras being held by a character. That would have worked. As-is, it was a total mess that crossed the border into "full retard". That said, excellent visual effects, mostly done by friends of mine. I just wish the non-effects portions weren't hampered by such an ill-conceived and poorly executed gimmick.

    Predestination - 5 of 10.
    I was ready to give this movie a 7/10 or so until the last 2 or 3 minutes. And i wish directors/producers would stop doing this shit. If i have the mental capacity to watch a movie that tackles the nature of time itself and time travel, you don't need to spell everything out for me as if im an idiot.
