Hey, I'm glad you liked it and took the suggestion to see it in Imax. You know, on the one hand I can't help but analyze it and see flaws - because they are there in the end - but on the other hand, those moments are undeniably ones that you can't help but react to. Funnily enough for me the Colonel was one of the more memorable characters, not due his basic character or dialogue, but because of Lang selling him so well. He also nabbed most of the undeniably cool moments in the film. |
Yes, thank you for that, it greatly enhanced the experience. When I end up with an HDTV and a blu-ray player, this movie will be one of the first I grab.
Me and the wife had a discussion about that on the way back from the theater - we tend to agree with you, insofar as that the Colonel was the biggest bad-ass in the movie, doing things that any other director would have done by the hero. He was utterly one-dimensional and morally reprehensible to the point of caricature, but you kind of wanted to root for him anyway because he killed that giant tiger monster with a knife
