So is Argo actually a good movie? Never watched it...

It's a good movie, sure. Best Picture - no.

It's an alright movie. Didn't find it Oscar-worthy, but I like most stuff with Arkin and the story is pretty cool...but *spoilers I guess:








Almost every part of the ending was completely made up Hollywood bullshite. All that really happened was the flight being delayed for a bit.

It's a good movie but not worthy of Best Picture. Zero Dark Thirty was better.

Argo is another example of Hollywood patting themselves on the back.

FIFY

I'm with you, and I liked it in spite of him...I was a first grader when all that happened so it was good to clarify what all went on...for the most part.

What I remember most was Carter being called a puss, and a bunch of tee shirts with Mickey Mouse flipping the bird.



With "Hey Iran" underneath.

I thought it was pretty good.

It's not good. It's more like "hey doesn't everyone look groovy and cool in 70s clothes and hair with 70s rock music playing." It's like that movie with Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Adams, and Christian Bale about catching art thieves or whatever where the setting (70s) is the movie and both movies lack substance. Now Boogie Nights is a great example of something that uses setting to tell a very interesting narrative.

I liked it a lot. And I like zero dark thirty a lot. I would say Argo has that Apollo 13 feel, where you're nervous they won't make it even though you know they do. I consider that to be a really good movie when you can make me feel that way.
