I hadn't heard about this movie until I looked up Matthew Vaughn on IMDb (after really enjoying Kick Ass) and saw he'd directed it. Really Really good. Has to be one of DeNiro's better performances n the last decade (he's had some stinkers).

I completely agree with you on this. This is one of my favorite movies, and I cannot believe that this did as poorly as it did. According to the figures I have seen, it only made back about half of its budget. It makes me so sad that a great movie like this is ignored, while a half-finished piece of crap like X-Men 3 did so well.
A sad day, a sad day.
Truer words have never been spoken. I kinda feel like the studio dropped the ball on this one. Like I said, I don't even remember hearing about this movie. I'm sure i saw a preview or two but it wasn't advertised enough where it really stuck with me.
The Last Stand sucked. He's hoping Vaughn can do better with the franchice this summer.

Dont worry it made $135,560,026 worldwide on a $70 million budget with DVD and tv deals it will have made a profit .Mathew Vaughn said none of his movies have lost money and it looks to be 4 out of with x men first class.
shareIndeed. I loved this movie. I was skeptical like everybody else, but I decided to see it in the discount theater. I loved it and ended up buying the movie. The fact that it tanked means that studios are going to be more reluctant to take a chance on an original fantasy movie and they will stick to sequels. Lame.
shareAlso watched it after seeing Kick ass and falling in love with it. Matthew Vaughn has only made excellent movies so far with great soundtracks so I'm going to see every project that he and Jane Goodman work together on.
shareI love this movie, I never heard anything about it before, I didn't even knew when it came out,
also one thing that I thought was weird, when I saw the trailer I felt like, "What the hell is this?"
the trailer is not very good, it makes the movie look confusing, is just not a good trailer, I was wondering if that was one of the reasons that the movie didn't do as well,
I really Love this movie, Is one of the best movies I have seen in a while, I thought everything was great, it captured my attention, and it really is a "feel good" movie for me, it was funny, it was original, is just one of my favorite movies of recent,
I'll look down, and whisper no
I went to see this with my roommate I'n collage. It was her second time watching it and my first. After watching it I went got it on DVD. It is really good movie. Thank god for my roomate. I don't remember hearing about it. I more I'n likely would not have seen it if it was not for her.

This one is likely to be a cult hit, although not a mainstream hit in the USA.
Its that man again!!
I had never heard of it and just happened to see it at the library and checked it out. OMG I love it! I've watched it a least 10 times and I'm going to buy it when I get the chance.
shareIt's one of my favorite movies ever. I just looked it up on imdb and was surprised that many people don't like it. Strange....
I loved DeNiros performance too. But I loved the other performances too.
