I would completely agree with Samir_J, Lasseter and Pixar have am excellent relationship with Miyazaki and do amazing dubs. It's not like watching the pic of a foreign language film where the actors voices and tones are connected to the performers – these are animated characters after all who are dubbed from other actors voices.
Each to their own, but I'd rather have a great dub by top draw English speaking actors and concentrate on watching the film than reading subtitles in this case. Besides, I barely consider Miyazaki work as foreign film because animated film is so universal.
What Iron Man suits in the background?
Personally I think they are both just ripping off The Day The Earth Stood Still circa 1951 and that despite being asexual Gort has a bigger penis than either of them.
Not to be the spelling police but since you're correcting, it's Connor with two o's.
I'm surprised you found so little to criticise in the action sequences, the close range fights were poorly conceived and somewhat confused while the bigger effects driven moments out in the open suffered from quite poor effects. Like the film there's a lack of heart in your review and that's understandable, the film was severely underwhelming and just a melting pot of ideas with little or no real substance. I go into more detail in <a href"http://darkhabits.blogspot.com/2009/04/film-review-x-men-origins-wolverine.html">my own review, swing by and check it out. I couldn't bring myself to let Hood off the hook as much as you have.
Straight the video shop with you! Not having seen it is one thing, having never heard of it is a little shocking. But it's ok, just don't tell anyone else or admit that on any other major movie sites.
Thanks for this stunning piece of insight.
My respect for Ms Bell dwindles a little with this news, kinda hoped for cooler more interesting things for her. Is no-one writing good female roles in Hollywood right now?
Isn't there another trailer somewhere that's a lot better than this one? The Brittney or whoever song playing over and cuts are obviously targeting the female audience with the movie's chick flick appeal. That's being said there did seem to be a lot of cheap slapstick comedy going on that just doesn't sit well. Looks more like a Matthew McConaughey/Kate Hudson movie.
Nice use of Terence Blanchard's beautiful score from the highly underrated 25th Hour. I'm very excited about this film.
