Sully : We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

I was getting down to watching this movie, then decided to read what it was about.

Two lines in he says hero pilot who saved every life of his passengers.

So what's the point in the movie and what's the point watching it??!!

Re: We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

Sure.. like why watch Titanic also? We already know the ending to that too.

Maybe poker's just not your game, Ike. I know, let's have a spelling contest.

Re: We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

Good one!

Re: We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

Sorry - should've read the other comments first before replying! Little hard to see on my phone.?

Re: We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

No no no..they made the Titanic interesting! Romance, music, other characters come to life, a side story, a story within a story.

Re: We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

The ship sank, people died. The rest was to fill in the fact it took nearly 3 stinking hours for the stinking ship to bloody sink.

Titanic was a crap movie that was TOO long.

((Damn the remakes, Save the originals.))

What's the point of taking your next breath? You know you are going to die. In fact, do everyone who reads these messages a favor, will you?

Maybe you knew that Sully had saved all the lives of the people on the airplane. Din you also know that he was under investigation for putting human lives above the air company's and the insurance company's money?

Re: We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

We knew the ending of Titanic, too. Still made a great movie! Pssh

Re: We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

Yeah but the Titanic was a more epic and historic event.

Sully is just another crap movie of 2016.

Re: We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

But the story of the Titanic has already been told 3 times on film. The 'miracle on the Hudson' got it's FIRST cinematic treatment with this movie.

Re: We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

Let me see, how is Titanic an epic, historic event, and the Hudson River landing was NOT epic and historical? Do tell.



((Damn the remakes, Save the originals.))

Re: We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

That's the question a lot of people asked themselves after seeing the movie...it's GOD DAMN BORING AS ALL HELL!

They actually use him going on prolonged jogs twice to fill up screen time.

Laura Linley LITERALLY phones in her performance.

The only big reveal is that one pilot understands more about flying and the abilities of a plane than an entire agency, and all their "experts" claims to.

If you're somebody whose seen the inter-working of our government, like me, you realized that already.

Re: We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

Then go watch the utter mindless, anti-reality of the Fast and Furious franchise.

((Damn the remakes, Save the originals.))

Re: We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

There's basically two ways you can make a movie out of this. You can either do a psychodrama about how the media attention affects Sully, or you do a standard biopic which goes into how he became a pilot and his career. The movie we got pays lip service to both concepts, but doesn't commit to either, and doesn't have anything interesting in place of them. Most of the movie is made up of the landing and subsequent rescue operation, neither of which have any tension not only because the story is so well-known, but also because the movie constantly beats us over the head with the fact that everyone survived. Eastwood doesn't even try and make it tense, either; there's no music, no intensity. It's all static and flat. To give him a little credit, it's nice that he remembered color exists, and the performances are great all-around. It's just not engaging or entertaining.

If you can't defend a movie without bashing another, you will be put on ignore. No exceptions.

Well, we're all going to die someday. Why don't you just get yours over with now? It's not like the ending's going to be any different for you than for anybody else, right? So go take your own life because you only have death to look forward to.

How boring.

Re: We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

The events of Apollo 13 were common knowledge as well, yet a highly successful movie was made about them.


My people skills are fine. It's my tolerance of morons that needs work.

Re: We know the ending so what's the point?? Spoiler

Same with Captain Phillips.
