Gone Baby Gone vs Zodiac


Wich one do you think is better and why?

reply

Zodiac for me.But only just.

I really enjoyed Gone Baby Gone too,but Zodiac had some great acting performances to tip it its favour

reply

Probably Gone Baby Gone for having a more coherent plot. There are a few too many red herrings in Zodiak

reply

No question ..... Zodiac. Extremely interesting film and great actors.

reply

Why the competition? Both are very good films. I am so sick of people trying to pin one movie up to another.

Always look for the positive in every situation.

reply

Pretty obvious to me, but I suppose taste is a personal thing...

Imo, Zodiac is by far the superior film. I think Ben Affleck (this was his first directing job, right?) did an excellent job on this film and began to illustrate here that he is an interesting filmmaker.

However, at this stage, certainly, he was a novice compared to David Fincher, who had already established himself as a master craftsman before Zodiac came out. Zodiac was a just another illustration of why he so deserves the reputation he's got.

Performances, story, music, pretty much every aspect of Zodiac is in a different league to that of GBG. GBG is a solid film, no mistake, but there's nothing in it that compares to the brilliance of Zodiac's opening sequence, or the scene where the woman with the baby gets picked up on the highway from the is-he-or-isn't-he-the-Zodiac man.

You may prefer GBG for personal reasons, but it's hard to argue it as the superior film when considering the evidence closely.

I'm curious as to what made you think to compare those 2 films. But the answer is Zodiac.

Zodiac.

Both great, well made films. Too different to compare.
