The main reason why I hated Gamer (other than that it was a terrible movie) was the expectation by my friends and co-workers that I would love it because I play video games. Just because a movie is focused around your hobby doesn't mean you'll love it. The only game-based movie I ever remember liking was Mortal Kombat, but most of that love stemmed from the fact that I was ten when that came out and anything that revolved around games was awesome.
Michael C. Hall is excellent in Gamer. That's what I remember of it. Interesting that Kermode likes what he calls "homoerotic" in the Transporter movies and is concerned there is too much T'N'A (female erotica) on MTV. The guy likes "Cruisin' as one of his favourite films, and bashes action adventure. Maybe I don't want to know anymore about Kermode.
This is one of those movies that I've managed to enjoy greatly over the years through descriptions alone but hope to never watch as long as I live. "Gerard Butler, right.. he's in this sort of computer game... but it's the real world..." Sounds terrible, please do go on...
@cmw443 What do "references" have to do with whether or not a film was good or not? I enjoy films and I enjoy games; this happens to be a film that was fundamentally flawed on every level that makes a film a "good" film.
Well first of all i think he only likes cruisin because it's a Friedkin film, but there is a difference. In Cruisin it's the actual topic of the film, while in action movies it's insinuatet. Why do you think Staham always take his shirt off? Cause it's itchy?
The film’s has great effects, however the film’s poorly acted, poorly directed, poorly written & unoriginal sci-fi actioner. (24%) (1/5 stars) (negative)
I love that:
"Why don't you have a proper family?"
"Because your nine."
"...Fair enough."
The idea of an exhausting swimming pool of death was more amusing than this movie.
"Boring with moments of reprehensibility".
Yep.
One of MK's most entertaining and less well-known rants! I had forgotten how amazing this was xD
9:24 My new ringtone!

1:01 sick burn
7:45 priceless!!!
I never quite got the premise of "the criminals who are most capable of killing and evading get set free".
Woola Woola Woola!
i lone mayo's description of the sims. Fallowed by Kermode's reaction
"Boring. With moments of reprehensibility."
Somebody get that on to a t shirt!
SPARTA SAYS NO!
these are such funny people
"Because their 9!!" i was thinking the exact same thing
The Crank movies are spectacular fun.
Love how he says "boo-tees"

"Gerard Butler's.. heh .. *brain*.. heh heh."
Simon Mayo is Simmer! xD

The idea of Gerad Butler having a brain makes me laugh.
I love murdering sims haha
