Seconded!

Absolutely fantastic.. and well deserving winner of 'Best Picture' this year as The Oscars.

Yeah it is a fine piece of film-making. Copy of it beside me now may give it another watch in the morning. Intense and stylish as anything the Coens (or anyone else) has done.

I loved it.
I hadnt read the book before seeing it, so i didnt know what to expect at all.

I said at the time that ive never enjoyed being slapped in the face by a film as much as i did with this one, and it still stands.

Read the book & watched the movie and the two compliment each other nicely. In fact, some scenes in the book play out almost exactly the same in the movie.

Creature

One of the best films I've ever seen. Usually when a DVD comes out that I want I'll wait a week or so to get it cheaper from play, but in this case I'm just gonna go to the nearest shop and get it today.

I cannot stress how much I loved this movie.

Javier Bardem = Most disturbing movie bad guy ever.

IMHO he even surpassed Michael Rookers outstanding performance in Henry:Portrait of a Serial Killer.

Just an incredible movie.

+1 to this sentiment; Anton Chighur instantly skyrockets up the list of cinemas best villains. The guy is one half ultimate bad-ass, one half scary SCARY dude. With hair that just demands attention
"I shoot people in this hair"

Got it on blu ray from amazon during the week. Savage film.

Pigman II

Decent but overrated, just like most Coen movies. I love the scene with the coin in the petrol station but that's about it.

Driver 8

You know, with it coming out on dvd, there'll be another deluge of people moaning about the ending...

Necronomicon

Really decent show. Three stand-out scenes for me:

The coin-toss scene in the garage.

The scene with the dog chasing down Llewelyn and he had to take apart his gun and put it back together when it got wet.

When Llewelyn was in his hotel room with the lights off, sitting on his bed. Then Chigurgh stands outside the door and you can see his feet casting a shadow. Really tense scene.

They're all great scenes, but loads of others too. I love the way they handle

Llewyelen's death. Its done in such an undramatic, anti-climatic way that its an extremely effective way of alerting the audience that the film isn't his story: it is Tommy Lee Jones who is really the protagonist here. And its still highly stylised: the sound of the gunfight heard from a distance is amazing

.

The sequence near the start

where Llewyelen finds the massacre site is also fantastic: such an eerie scene, and one which says so much more than actually showing the gunfight would have. And its soon followed by that astonishing shot of the two trucks on the hill

.

It really is quite an accomplishment: depth combined with tense action and superb stylisation. Definitely the most deserving Oscar winner in years, if not decades.

(

and the truck explosion: amazing!

I loved this movie up until the last 15 mins or so at which point it disappeared up it's own ass. My wife writes screenplays and very early on she sent her first full feature to a professional script consultant and he rightly pointed out that the whole story changed near the end by making one of the enemble characters dominate the plot - it was a great character and the storyline itself was great but he was right, it completely changed the flow of the movie and left someone new to it confused. The Coens did the same with Javier's character, undeniably the most complex and well acted in the movie he was still only a part of the story and near the end they made the mistake of running away with that character at the expense of the plot imho.

Blame McCarthy; the Coens did nothing
