+degree7 exactly, but people didn't like it, as simple as that. It's a real shame, but I bought the Director's cut edition anyway. I'm really close to complete my collection, and from all of his recent movies, The Counselor was one of the best in my opinion, amazing dialogue, amazing cast. Extremely elegant. I love it. Really mature and real in my opinion.

That's one of those rare films where I am genuinely completely puzzled by the critics of it. I seriously don't get it at all. Other than being extremely depressing and harrowing I don't understand why people hate that film at all.

I did suffer through it multiple times and it was still the disaster most people claim it is. It had all the elements for it to be a great film but the script was an absolute mess with terrible, half baked, wannabe noir dialogue that makes every actor look and sound stilted. I'm glad you enjoyed it but most people consider it a disaster and I think that's an understatement..

The Counselor got some pretty unfair reviews, which amounted nothing more to clickbait. It's by no means up there with his best work, but it's not bad at all. It's almost excessively bleak (and probably the darkest of his entire filmography), but I can think of many worse examples of that, usually by less talented and experienced directors than Mr. Scott. I'm glad to see him carry the flag for it and that he is proud of it despite the harsh reviews.

@xsmooth5707 8 жыл бұрын

+pickselartz i love grim movies and i think The Counselor is one of the most mis-guided movies ive seen in years.. it had a great director, at times, great author, amazing cinematography, one of the best casts of recent years buut.. the script was a mess. it had no structure, no story, no nothing just a bunch of b-movie dialogue written by a legendary author who doesnt understand a book and a screenplay are too different mediums. i heard the novelization of the counselor reads great but as a movie its a disaster with no form or function. i was in disbelief how this script got green lit. there is some good ideas in it but needed a REAL scriptwriter to come in and put the pieces together. just my personal opinion but i think alot of people would agree

@thorna100 8 жыл бұрын

What a great guy. Man you guys are critical! He uses VFX for a film like Prometheus because its a different playing field. Its not a laod of clostrophobic sets filled with smoke where a practical effect can look great. Imagine Prometheus (which I think is visually awesome) with all practical effects and how much that would limit things. Technology is evolving and smart people like Ridley Scott know when to use one or the other. Thats what his answer was! And to compare different film makers work is always a pointless comparison. Film is so driven by taste. I like Prometheus. Its by no means a perfect or incredible film but I really like it. Others I know really hate it. I love David Fincher but I have friends who really don't like many of his films. Its all taste! Even when it comes to stories. Good on you Ridley Scott. Keep making films because you love it! Thats what gives films heart and why The Martian is no doubt going to be awesome!

As a production sound mixer, come on guys. You gotta step up the game here. You're interviewing one of the great and not only are the mics over modulating, you didn't even mix the tracks in post (leaving Ridley's mic on the left, interviewers on the right). The picture is worth crap when the CONTENT suffers because of bad sound. Also, to the interviewer..quit making "uh huh" sounds constantly throughout his answers. This is 101 stuff here guys.

If they're planning on going to Mars, why the heck havnt they established a jump-off base on the Moon already!? I mean you'd think journeys to the Moon and bk would be a common thing by now in this era, as in like practice to get into the idea of fairly long space travel and all that. Whats more interesting is thinking about what they may have already interms of technology right now, and what may have been held bk from the public, same with the academic level of scientists.
