I'm not knocking the movie cause I'm a Johnny Depp fan but from what I can tell it kind of looks like a less intense Fear and Loathing from the trailers.
I agree, Fear and Loathing was insane. The Rum Diaries however was not as intense, two fantastic reads but F&L was about as nuts as an event that has ever been documented. I cant wait to see The Rum Diaries, its been in production for like ever, glad it finally got filmed and released.I think it's intent is to be less intense. Rum Diary and Fear and Loathing were distinctly different novels and I wouldn't expect them to be near the same in film.
I never listen to reviews for movies. So subjective. I just like to watch and see if I enjoy them myself. I've been looking forward to this flick for a while. Gonna try and check it out this weekend.Just read a review about this movie. They gave it 3 out of 5 stars. But the plot sounds interesting. I plan on watching it. But may wait until it's out on DVD.
I tend to use the critics as an indicator whether to spend the bucks to see something in the theater vs watching on DVD later. I was excited about that Justin Timberlake/Amanda Seyfried time movie, but the critics have panned it. So I'll wait for DVD. I want a sure winner I'm going to spend $30 on tix and popcorn.I never listen to reviews for movies. So subjective. I just like to watch and see if I enjoy them myself.

Understandable. I usually go to Alamo Drafthouse here in town. I can drink, eat, and watch a movie. I don't often go out to see movies, so if I'm gonna do it, I'll enjoy the experience. Now if I could only smoke there.....I tend to use the critics as an indicator whether to spend the bucks to see something in the theater vs watching on DVD later.

Dude, I am envious. A lot of my friends have lived in Austin and loved that place, but I've never been.Understandable. I usually go to Alamo Drafthouse here in town.
