yeah i forgot to turn my brain off before watching. I hated it.
Gonna watch it again when I'm drunk because there were definitely scenes worth a chuckle while sober...I think intoxication will make them much more hilarious.

I enjoyed it. Obviously it wasn't an intellectually stimulating movie... it doesn't try to be. Hell, the title basically tells you that the entire movie will be mindless shooting. And it was awesome at what it tried to accomplish. 1/8/2008 10:58:01 PM |

^^, ^
dammit, you two make it sound like its trying to be a "serious" action movie like Die Hard or something, its much much closer to the Naked Gun... its supposed to be a parody of all the mindless action movies so of course its mindless

i didn't like it, i thought it would be more non-stop action like crank. they put to much effort into trying to create a story for this kind of movie 1/8/2008 11:29:25 PM |

I just dont get that, unless, once again they went into it assuming it was a serious action movie and not a parody/comedy... it would be like saying "Weird Al's music sucks, its dumb and the lyrics are corny"... well, no shit, thats the point.

this movie was disappointing, and i even knew it would be the worst movie i'd see in 2007 1/9/2008 1:13:31 PM |

yeah, see i just don't see the funny. i expect more from owen, bellucci and giamatti. for some reason, they just don't strike me as the 'scary movie'-over-the-top-obviously-a-parody type of actors. it was a dumb movie. 1/9/2008 6:07:54 PM |

Yeah I was bored stupid in this movie. Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti are so miscast here it's unbelievable. Doesnt matter though, it's about as vapid of a movie as you can get. Yes, I have a sense of humor but it's really not that funny. 1/10/2008 7:41:26 AM |

the man used a bullet to snip an umbilical cord and kills several men with a carrot... how is that not funny?
maybe its because I usually hate action movies so I love that this is so over the top absurd 1/10/2008 11:01:11 AM |

It's great, if you can't expand yourself beyond your normal movie formula and just get ready to have a good time, you should probably go back to watching foreign independent films. Here's my rant, I love film, any genre, I like to think I'm a little bit of a movie nerd, but I still love to just enjoy a movie with a ton of action and cheesy one liners. Not every movie has to make me think or feel moved. Just my rant to those who say this movie lacks realistic action, plot or meaning, of course it lacks those things, but a it's about the experience.
Also, you probably want to watch this one on a big screen with the volume turned up to 11. 1/10/2008 12:01:14 PM |

Don't give me that bullshit. Don't think just because I hate this movie it makes me a snooty movie jerk. I know what the fuck this movie was about and what it was trying to do, and yes, I wateched it thinking I was watching another Hot Shots Part Deux modernized, but that didnt make it funny. It sucked. Hear me? Sucked.

some of the reviews on there are worded perfectly:
Quote : | "There have already been critical rumblings about the extreme violence in Shoot ’Em Up, but it’s hard to get too worked up about a film whose very title announces its maker’s intent" |
Quote : | ""Shoot 'Em Up" is a joyously silly, R-rated, John Woo-in flected Looney Tune, with Clive Owen as a carrot-chomping, gun-toting Bugs Bunny matching wits with Elmer Fudd-ish assassin Paul Giamatti...You know Quentin Tarantino is probably over the hill when he can be so parodied with such deadly precision in "Shoot 'Em Up."" |

I saw it last night and loved it.
When it first came out I heard an interview with the director who cited moments in action films when the lead does some completely implausible stunt but you go along with it for the sake of the rest of the movie. He wanted to make a whole movie out of those stupid stunts. I think he did an awesome job. Paul Giamatti was awesome. 2/26/2008 7:03:49 PM |
