The movie has been available on DVD for 24 hours already, why haven't you bought it? Best movie of the past ten years.

I do not agree; I found it redundant and boring. It was about a bunch of kinds that loved to kill, it was about a bunch of kids that loved to kill, it was about a bunch of kinds that loved to kill... I guess you do not see a lot of movies.

I prefer from last year Mystic River.

You totally missed the point of that movie. Totally. Not just the point of the movie but also cinematography, editing, directing and dialogues.

1) It is neither redundant nor boring.
2) Its gorgeously shot, amazingly acted, and lets not even talk about the editing.
3) Mystic River was mediocre.

And I see a lot of movies. A lot.

Great movie, especially since I watched it after coming back from Brazil.

I liked Dawn of the Dead.

How many movies you watch has no bearing on how valid your opinion is. And I have a lot of opinions. Monique is correct, she did find it redundant and boring.

I've had it on DVD for at least a month. And it were only a tenner. Yay for HMV's world cinema on DVD promo.

So I guess we got it before you yanks. There's a first for everything.

Awesome movie. However, I have had the movie for months already on DVD.

Mind you I got mine from Asia. I must admit I'm not sure if it was a bootleg or not (it was a gift), but if it's a bootleg it's a damn good one since it is a dual layer disc with all the fixins.
