Tyler Durden

Boo to all the negative reviews, this movie was actually decent. I watched the original movies and tv show as a kid and I enjoyed this movie adaptation as well. I appreciate the darker slant to the storyline and it actually sets up the previous versions fairly well. I can see why Roarke never wanted to interfere, but did sometimes anyhow. We loosely learn about his motivations, how the fantasies are fueled, as well as how Tattoo came to be there. From the plane and "Smiles, everyone. Smiles." to fantasy crossovers and lessons learned, homage was paid and I had a good time with this movie. Don't expect a remake of the original, just try to enjoy this one for what it is.

1st It was mediocre at best. I think they were going for a certain level of "realism" in this story, but they missed the mark a little. There were events/actions that just didn't make sense to me. Cutting the power, staying in the house so long, etc. I'll watch it again at some point to make sure I didn't miss some details that made it all cohesive. Also, feels like some things were added JUST for the sake of the disturbing value. Snake scene, porno scene, etc. Under the blanket idea that Emelie is just "cracked" we're supposed to disregard stuff as her being crazy. 2nd To the weakling who now supposedly requires therapy, the avid lover of gerbils, the one who would brutally murder a human with a metal box, lol, just so you know, that was a hamster in that scene. I would have thought an AVID LOVER of gerbils would know what a gerbil looks like.
