Comments on: THE ROAD Movie Trailer – This Movie is going to be Amazing http://geektyrant.com/2009/05/the-road-movie-trailer-this-movie-is-going-to-be-amazing/ Geek Movie and Entertainment News Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:11:25 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: OrangeRush2112 http://geektyrant.com/2009/05/the-road-movie-trailer-this-movie-is-going-to-be-amazing/comment-page-1/#comment-27919 OrangeRush2112 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 21:20:53 +0000 http://geektyrant.com/?p=6231#comment-27919 there wasnt any clear reason for the ravaged wasteland - of course hollywood will fill your head that its because you are having too many bbqs. but the road was one of those books that kept me riveted with every page i turned. you could feel the compelling outcome but you couldnt put the book down. when i finished it i had the same gut feeling as i did when i saw saving private ryan - it affected me for weeks. not too many books today can do that. i wish the trailer and of course the movie didnt give any reason for the collapse of humanity. i am sure it would have left more of powerful impact as the book did with its ambiguity. i just hope they keep the fire burning theme alive in it. any way - cant wait. there wasnt any clear reason for the ravaged wasteland – of course hollywood will fill your head that its because you are having too many bbqs. but the road was one of those books that kept me riveted with every page i turned. you could feel the compelling outcome but you couldnt put the book down. when i finished it i had the same gut feeling as i did when i saw saving private ryan – it affected me for weeks. not too many books today can do that. i wish the trailer and of course the movie didnt give any reason for the collapse of humanity. i am sure it would have left more of powerful impact as the book did with its ambiguity. i just hope they keep the fire burning theme alive in it. any way – cant wait.

I love Viggo and his performance seems moving, but while I respect Charlize' acting talent it feels that trying to expanding the female character/role further than originally planned just builds a hollow, passive 'what are we going to do' weak female character (that needs protecting...rather than holding onto last threads of humanity)? Phew...breathe. And, yes the editing style and marketing treatment of trailer did not help anyone here. Agree with Nathan…feels more fallout 3, than the road.

Why do they change things that work so well? yay a movie fallout 3….now when are we going to see a movie version of the road? the book was about the quiet and lonely final throes of humanity, not about the epic post-apocalyptic journey. it's about hope in the face of inescapable failure.

McCarthey, Mortensen, Theron, Duvall, Pearce. All those names will make every critic swoon. This movie doesn't even have to be good in order for it to be a shoo in for the Oscar race.
