The Wicker Man

Ok, I don't know if anyone here has seen this. But this is the oddest movie I've ever seen. It is the first movie to actually piss me off at the end. It stars Nicolas Cage, and if you havm't seen it yet, I suggest you do before it's out of the theatres.

Does seeing the original movie count? It was kind of freaky. o_o

I've seen a few movies where I've been pissed off at the end...but what kind of pissed off were you? Were you pissed off like "OMG I can't believe I just spent $10 on that piece of crap?" or pissed off like "OMG They did a good job of making the bad guy bad"? Because if it's the latter, that's what makes a good movie great.

When you can learn to love or hate the characters so much that they actually influence your emotions after it's over. Like Keifer Sutherland in Eye for an Eye. Ooooo I wanted to punch him in the face after I watched that movie.

Hylian, you guys pay $10 for a movie ticket? We pay $8, used to be $7.50. What makes the movie so good anyways?

NCage gets burned in a wicker statue of a man right? Or was that just the original.

Well, even knowing that he kicks the bucket doesn't ruin the movie. It's the events that lead up to it that make it good.
