Island Reviews. [SPOILERS]

I had the opportunity to be among the first audience (at least, that’s what we were told) to watch “The Island” last night and I thought that your readers may be interested in hearing a NON-SPOILER review before the movie’s official release on July 22nd. I myself am a LONG time reader of Ain’t It Cool News, but first time contributor.

First off, let me say that I think Michael Bay is an extremely talented director and I would have never used the term “extremely” until last night. Unlike some, I enjoyed The Rock and Armageddon, but the style, story and performances of the “The Island” (pardon the forthcoming pun) blows them out of the water. I’m not saying that this movie is perfect, but as I watched the film, I was elated by its originality, style and ability to hit certain moments in the story that I was keeping my fingers crossed that they would hit. I’d have to estimate that 8 out of 10 moments were nailed. And no, this film is not a loosely based remake of “Logan’s Run” as I was lead to believe by the previews.

Reviews seem to be great.

Scarlett Johannson.

Whoa. Wait. What is this? Michael Bay has created...a good...original movie?! Holy crap.

IT'S A TRAP.

 

[Shakermaker]

Scarlett Johannson.




Sorry, I just felt like saying that.

She's lovely, isn't she? She is in my top 3 of most bangable celebs.

Im sure shes honored. :dozey:

 

[Stigmata]

She's lovely, isn't she? She is in my top 3 of most bangable celebs.

Seconded.

But I'd really prefer to use a term other than "bangable." Perhaps "beautiful" will suffice? Bangable just takes away her dignity.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Beautiful works beautifully. Or as I like to say "I'd marry (insert beautiful woman) in 5 seconds."

 

[DarkStar]

Scarlett Johannson.

Right you are sir!

 

[Gunner]

Scarlett Johannson.




Sorry, I just felt like saying that.

It freaks me out when I google actors on imdb and find out their age, I am almost 23 and I have done **** all in my life, she's two years younger and has starred in two dozen movies. :|

 

[DeusExMachina]

What have you been doing all this time Gunner .

I Heart Scarlett Johannson. I think I'll make a movie called that, "I Heart Scarlett".
