EDIT: Poll got screwed up. Second option is supposed to read "I will see it in theatres eventually, but I'm not hyped enough to consider it a 'must see ASAP'"

I've been excited for Looper for a while. Bruce Willis is the man, and I enjoy Joseph Gordon Levitt as an actor more and more with each movie I see him in. I don't know if sci-fi is necessarily my favorite genre, though I definitely enjoy it, and especially when it's a sci-fi movie done well.

All around, Looper looks like it's just gonna be an awesome movie. It reminds me of Inception in a way b/c some scenes from trailers indicate there is more to the rules of Looper's universe than meet's the eye; for example, the scenes that show the sudden levitation of objects around people. This really makes me wonder. It has mystery, and makes me that much more excited to see Looper so I can understand (again, similar to Inception when seeing its trailers before being able to see the whole movie).

Anyways, even though I've been excited for Looper for a couple months, I feared it would ultimately do bad - or at least mediocre - critically. The reason my hype has gone up even further than before, though, is that the critics have been almost unanimously praising Looper so far. It has an incredible 92% on RottenTomatoes out of 172 reviews so far!!! (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/looper/). For reference, The Dark Knight Rises has an 87%. One review even cited Looper as "this generation's Matrix", which is a hype-worthy statement in and of itself.

So, I'm wondering if anyone else is excited for Looper. I feel like I haven't heard many people talking about it. What does everyone think? Is there any hype for this movie on VGC??

This years 'Drive'?

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. This kind-of brain numbing sci-fi is exactly what I like the most and the reviews are just amazing.


That's what someone said in a review? I haven't seen Looper yet obviously, but that seems like an interesting comparison...



It really seems like an awesome movie. I will watch it if I have time



You should add another option.

"My one theater small town won't get it for a few weeks. I'll see it as soon as I can."

I'd go see it this Friday if I could, but I probably can't so I'm forced to wait. It looks great. I love time travel movies.



After seeing Limitless and In Time at the theatre, and both fared miserably in comparison to Inception; I will not waste money any more.

It's in mind, and kept close watch.

Already planning to see it Friday night with my boys.

Dude if you keep comparing movies to Inception then you will never watch a movie again.



I'll call Blockbuster on my rotary phone to pre-order the dvd.
Day 1 on blu-ray, sci-fi is my favorite genre. Since I have a 1 and 3 year old the movie theater is not an option.



Yeah it looks great! I'll definitely see it in theatres at some point.



UPDATE: Most of the reviews are in now (172 to be exact), and it's STILL at 92% on RottenTomatoes! I'll hopefully be seeing it tonight if things work out. Really can't wait. I'm almost as hyped for this as I was for The Amazing Spider-man and The Dark Knight Rises (both of which disappointed me slightly, however)!
