Is there any summary of The Italian Job more perfect than this one?

silenteagle28 said:Hmm... Three Mini Coopers and Charlize Theron... How could a movie possibly be bad? 😁

Ah, Edward Norton and the Coopers 😁

Anyway, it’s just mindless fun, nothing more. ☕

Honestly, I think this might be the absolute best summary of The Italian Job ever made!

Actually, I’d argue this one is even better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-V_CXTInzw 😁

Anyway, look, it's just mindless entertainment, nothing more. ☕

Besides, you can see Cooper drivers pulling stunts on stairs anywhere else too.😁

Bourneov identity😁😁☕

Man😁...I haven't actually sat down to watch that one yet.😁

Anthony Smith3 said:Bourneov Identity😁😁☕

👍 I am heading out to grab it first thing tomorrow!

briskbison41 said:Well, 😁I haven't actually sat down to watch it yet.😁

Simply disgraceful. 😁

Chris Palmer3 said:What a joke. 😁

Why on earth is that a joke?😁

OT: I'm really hoping they keep the same crew together for the next one.🙂

briskbison41 said:Why on earth would that be considered a disgrace?😁

OT: I sincerely hope they keep the same roster moving forward.🙂

It’s actually quite excellent. You really ought to reconsider your stance there. 😁

Chris Palmer3 said:It’s actually great. You really need to take back what you said there. 😁

I get it.😁
I definitely need to sit down and watch at least three of them.

OT: I think the Brasilian Job comes out around 2009.🤔

I’m really holding out hope that they finally get production underway for The Brazilian Job next year, hopefully hitting theaters by late 2008 or even early 2009. It feels like we've been hearing whispers about this project forever—first it was slated for 2007, then 2008, and now we're looking at 2009, so the anticipation is truly starting to build. I am just dying to see if they bring back those iconic Mini Coopers, too. Honestly, those three cars from The Italian Job were absolutely stunning.

I just caught this movie on TV, and honestly? It’s great. The cast is fantastic—Charlize Theron is absolutely stunning, isn't she? I know all you die-hard action junkies who live for nonstop shootouts are probably tearing this one apart, but look, not everyone needs Dolph Lundgren or Jean-Claude Van Damme to enjoy a good flick 😂.
Okay, I'm kidding. I watched the Bourne identity too, and I liked that one, but this movie just stuck with me more because it actually made me laugh along the way.
At the end of the day, tastes differ. That's just life. There's really no need to start a war just because someone else sees things differently, right?
Anyway, that's my two cents. 🙄

I definitely need to catch at least three of them..

Off-topic: I think The Brazilian Job is coming out sometime in 2009.🤔

Honestly... even though everyone seems to love it, I’d say skip the third Bourne movie if you can help it. The camera work, the editing, the directing—it’s all a mess. Plus, half the plot feels like a recap of the previous films before you even realize what's happening. Just stick to the first one and especially the second; that's plenty. There's nothing in the third one that isn't already obvious from the first two.

To be honest, I usually struggle with those shaky camera shots. It didn't bother me quite as much during Bourne..

David Price5 said:To be honest, shaky cam usually bugs me, but I didn't mind it much in Bourne..

I actually don't mind that style, but I couldn't stand it in the Bourne-esque ultimatum... drove me absolutely nuts by the end of the movie...

Maybe I was just 🙈 watching a low-quality bootleg again, so I didn't pay much attention. Time to give this movie a proper second viewing.

David Price5 said:Or maybe it's just me again. 🙈 I was watching a bootleg, so I wasn't really paying attention. Time to go watch it properly.

Honestly... with a camera like that, I don't even know how you'd see anything on a standard Blu-ray rip lol.😁

Anthony Smith3 said:Honestly... even though everyone seems to be hyping it up more or less, if you're asking me, I'd recommend the Bourne-esque third one the least. The camerawork, the editing—and by extension, the directing—is just a mess. Not to mention how we spend half the runtime catching up on stuff from the previous movie without even realizing it until we're already there. Stick to the first film, and especially the second one... that's plenty for me. The third one doesn't reveal anything you didn't already pick up in the first two.

So the third one sucks?
hm... the trailer looks pretty solid, but a trailer isn't always what the actual movie turns out to be.

briskbison41 said:So you're saying the third one sucks?
hm... the trailer looks pretty solid, but we all know trailers don't always tell the whole story.

Look... 80% of the audience and critics say it's good, but honestly, I can't even wrap my head around why because I barely made it to the end. Between the shaky cam, the frantic editing, and that disappointing finale that doesn't reveal anything we didn't already learn in parts one and two—it was a struggle. And I'm usually pretty easygoing and not as picky as most viewers... but part two was miles better. There’s really just one part in the third movie I actually liked: that scene at the station where Warren tells someone over the phone how to dodge the agents... that was cool. Everything else? Just irritating...
But hey, take the risk and check it out... maybe it'll click for you.😉
