I sincerely hope you are just looking for attention

and I didn't even love slumdog like that. that's just a "wow" statement.

slumdog was one of the most overrated movies of all time. It was just NOT that good.

Gran Torino >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> slumdog

The Wrestler >>>>>>>>>> Gran Torino

benjamin button was about equal. Better acting and cinematography, but Gran Torino was much more enjoyable.

This movie was just alright and thats only because it was a damn comedy. This movie would definitly win the oscar for the most racist movie of the year. WhenClint called ol'boy a "pusscake" at the party, i was like

I laughed more than anything but felt that the acting was poor, from everyone. Come on man, this 90 year old guy isn't stomping out anybody...even if it issome fat ******ed asian kid. Way too many G bombs for my taste, made me want to go out and kill a

Which is what some people in here cant seem to grasp. I mean, as long as you aren't touting Disaster Movie as the best thing since theGodfather, than I can respect what you think.

I thought it was a good movie... I don't know why y'all are hating on the Asian actors for. It's more about the story imo.

 

[method 2 my madness]

I am disappointed Clint couldnt find better actors in the movie. Otherwise, the movie was pretty good.

I just saw this movie.

Eastwood was brilliant. He was pure comedy the entire movie...dissing Tao, his barber, the construction boss, the priest

The Asian actors (namely Tao and his sister) were bloody awful. Tao is one of the worst actors I've ever seen, I hope he never gets a Hollywood role again.

Pretty good movie...Eastwood pulled a LeBron and carried this movie on his back

 

[thytkerjobs]

i watched it the other day and thought it was pretty good. i agree they coulda found better actors for tao and his sis

 

[ill legal operation]

Didnt really like this movie... and that "Tao" character and his sister CANNOT ACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But i did like the fact that he risked his lifeover the type of people hated ever since the Korean War.

 

[venom lyrix]

prob my favorite movie of last year, i loved it

 

[doublejs07]

The movie was OK at best...I don't see what all the hype was about. I just watched it this afternoon, and honestly I think anyone in hollywood could havewritten this story. If Clint Eastwood's name wasn't attached to the film, would it have all this hoopla? The movie pales in comparison to The Wrestlerand also Slumdog. Some of the parts were flat out comical. Eastwood's constant growling, his slow "punching" of the cabinets, the slurs, andlastly...the HORRIBLE acting by everyone who was asian in the film. The casting was terrible. This movie was a big let down.

 

[supahoopa]

dang.. i liked the asian actors..
thought i was a good movie..

 

[certifiedsw]

Eastwood was amazing in this movie. But like everyone else said the Asian actors were so bad I was literally smh while watching it. Can't believe theending though, I thought he was gonna go in there and smoke the dudes. But this was a good movie and I highly recommend it.

 

[fundamental21ticket]

It was a decent movie but nothing spectacular. Ending was predictable and the actors were ehhh.

 

[jaflash]

I've wanted to see this movie for some time and just got done watching it for the first time.

I thought it was a good movie.

Like most, I thought Clint was great and pretty much everyone else was average or poor.

Overall it's appreciated.

Not sure why the use of non-professional actors should prevent anyone from enjoying Gran Torino. It's been done before like in Bicycle Thieves (all but oneactor was non-professional), Battle of Algiers (only one professional actor) and more recently--- Raging Bull with Cathy Moriarity (Vicky). I didn't havea problem with the acting in Gran Torino.
