Shutter Island (2010)
 

SYNOPSIS:

Is anyone else looking forward to seeing this movie? I think I'll get on Fandango and order my tickets NOW. :D

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Looks like something I'd like to see. :tu

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

It looks like it would be a good movie.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Caught a screener of this back in December. I have to say that I'm usually not a fan of DiCaprio but his last few have impressed me.

Having said that, probably one of his better performances and the movie as a whole is great. Scorcese departs from his usual style and actually does a pretty decent job. This is one I recommend to see at the theatre. 3.5 stars from me.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Not to totally dismiss your rating, but 3.5 stars doesn't scream 'must see' :D

Any reason for the 3.5?

Having said that, I've been looking foreword to this film for a while now.

:tpd: Not a DiCraprio fan. I'll pass. :td

I am...big Leonardo fan as he's very talented, and this movie looks likeit will be right up my alley horror-wise...

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I am also a big Leonardo fan. I think if he continues to grow as an Actor he will be regarded as one of the greats.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Debating btwn this and Wolfman for Sat. I'm leaning towards this as I imagine Wolfman will be a gore fest- something mama does NOT like.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Apparently Wolfman is plain horrible. Typically I ignore reviews from critics and most people I know, but I have not heard ONE good thing about the movie.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I can't wait to see Shutter Island, probably going to see it on Sunday :tu

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I just bought my tickets for Friday at 8 PM. :tu

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I am not a Leo fan at all. I find him to be the weak link in 99% of the movies he does. I will probably watch this when it comes on dvd.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

It was horrendous. I seriously fell asleep for a good 10 min.

And THIS movie, I am looking forward to it! I might try to get a midnight showing. This looks very good.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I am looking forward to seeing this. Not a fan of DiCrapio at all but he has made a few good movies. As for ratings? Seems like when a critic slams a movie I love it. The movies they love I think are garbage. Just like cigars, we all have different tastes.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Usually the ones he ends up dieing in. :r

Titanic totally worked for me as a snuff film. :r

What a goofy movie. Never let go Jack! And then she pries his dead fingers off and sends him to hell. I seem to be the only one that views the film as a statement on women's behaviors lol...Anyone else notice that she was floating on something big enough for two people? I mean especially Leonardo, he was like 5'3 in that movie.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I'm really looking forward to this! DiCaprio and Scorsesee are starting to make a great team.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I guess I should explain my own personal rating system. Since I watch so many movies and have a grip-load at home as well I'm pretty stringent when it comes to rating a movie.

Most movie offerings fall in the 2-2.5 stars rating for me. Throw away movies like Legion and the upcoming Cop Out (originally titled "A Couple of Dicks") are average forgettable movies and usually get a 2 or a 2.5 from me.

Above average movies are a 3 and above average that I think deserve a theatre visit get a 3.5

A 4 means I'll prob see it 2-3 times in the theatre and a 5 means by the time I review it I've seen it half a dozen times in the theatres, have downloaded a cam-rip that I burned to DVD and will purchase the movie on Blu Ray when it comes out and am planning where on my body to put a movie tattoo :D

You have an I Heart Huckabees tattoo, don't you? :r

And that is next to your tat of Kevin Bacon in Footloose, right?

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I hate to put the thread back on topic, but ...

I saw the preview yesterday. Looks interesting.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Really looking forward to seeing it...read the book it was great

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I'm interested to see how faithfully the movie captures the book. Great read!

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Good movie. Official review tomorrow.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

You did better than me. I went to sleep for over an hour in the theater trying to watch Wolfman.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Can't wait to hear what you guys thought.. I definitely want to see this! No spoilers tho please :)

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Haha I don't blame ya man.


Gonna see this movie tomorrow. Can't wait. It has gotten some good reviews.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

As usual, no spoilers.

Leonardo DiCaprio is Deputy U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels, he and his partner Chuck are dispatched to Shutter Island, a maximum security mental institution on an island off the coast of Boston to investigate the disappearance of a dangerous mental patient. What comes next is a mind **** of twists and turns, some, which were a little obvious, and others that were totally unexpected.

Leo was on top of his game in this and played a completely believable character (you will see why I say believable when you watch the movie). Mark Ruffalo played Deputy U.S. Marshal Chuck Aule and paired with DiCaprio they made a perfect team. There was a ton a charisma between the two of them. The plot is rock solid and Martin Scorsese I believe really came out of his comfort zone with this film, it says Scorsese, but not in the sense the Departed did. It’s very different and it would be great to see him further branch out like he did with Shutter Island.

The score for this movie was perfect. Their were some pretty dramatic scenes and a few that were spooky as well, the music at times made me think the hair on my neck was going to stand up at any minute. I heard a few people say they fell asleep during this movie, that it was Leonardo DiCaprio’s worst film, etc. I don’t think that could be further from the truth, in fact I would venture to say that was one of his BEST performances to date. I would love to see Scorsese, DiCaprio, and Ruffalo back on the screen together for another film.

I give this 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Just saw this and would agree that it was very good altho- and I won't continue for those who have not seen it.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Did anyone else see it?

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I am going this afternoon, will post my thoughts after

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Im going to see it this week..

I find it interesting how so many people dislike DiCaprio.. sure he looks like some little panzie that used to get beat up in high school. But all BS aside, he is a VERY talented actor..

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I saw it last night and thought it was awesome. I would agree with the mind **** element of it. After it ended it was just like what the hell did I just see, but in the very best way possible.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Yeah, I had to tell Danielle my thoughts to see if she agreed, to make sure I was on the right track.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

:tpd:

I just saw it tonight and I thought it was incredible, stellar performances from all cast members IMO it is awesome when you leave a movie and look at your watch and go "wow I didn't know this was that long!!!" never once did I get bored. I highly recommend it!!!

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I was not super crazy about this movie. I guess I had too high of an expectation for it.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I like Leonardo, haven't seen many of his films, trailer depicts impressive sequence. I will think about it.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

You cried in Avatar so your opinion is invalid, Wii. :r

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

:fu2 HA did not.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Check out Romeo and Juliet, Gangs of New York, and The Aviator. The Baketball Diaries was good too.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Read on Wikipedia that Dicraprio is interested in playing Roland in a Dark Tower project. Christian Bale is also interested, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I did, out of disgust!

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

I thought it was mediocre and predictable. I wouldn't watch it more than once.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

Katie and I saw it last week and I figured it out within the first 30 minutes. Kind of made the rest very predictable.

Re: Shutter Island (2010)
 

BTW, don't read the Wikipedia article on this movie if you plan to go see it. They give away the ending in the plot summary. :td
