garyoak99 Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 I heard that the movie is about a mother who is frantically searching for her daughter on board the commercial airliner when terrorists hijack it. My suspicion is that since this movie is about terrorists who attempt to hijack a commercial airliner that audiences, particularly American audiences are drawn to it because of the events of 9/11. Another reason why it succeeds might be because of Jodie Foster's performance. Why do you think it managed to stay on top of the box office two weeks in a row?
Wizard Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 See it your self. Duh. I liked the movie for it's one of those suspensful thrillers. Losing your daughter on a plane when everyone onboard has no recolection that she ever boarded, nor seen her, especially when they say she died when she was just with you.
Lucandrake Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Some guy was ranting on my school bus yesterday on how much it "sucked". Idk, have to see it myself like kman said
oshisama Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 I watched some crappy Thai horror movie instead.

Is it just me or does this movie have a similar plot but just in a different setting?
ken_cinder Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 I keep hearing on the radio (on more than one station) how this movie sucks really bad. Can't say the trailers they're showing on TV have me interested..........at all.

What do those bad reviews say is so bad about the movie?
NeuronMaster Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 Woohoo 4 Roger Ebert, he recommends alot of movies...I never listen to him.
Weirdy Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 Woohoo 4 Roger Ebert, he recommends alot of movies...I never listen to him.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>it's just an excuse for him to sit down and eat popcorn all his reviews depend on the quality of the butter and how good the popcorn is
garyoak99 Posted October 8, 2005 Author Posted October 8, 2005 (edited) Woohoo 4 Roger Ebert, he recommends alot of movies...I never listen to him.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fair enough...what about the THIRTEEN critics from Yahoo movies who give Flightplan an average of a B-?

What gives critics the hard censor doesn't really work for everybody else. A review is just an oppinion. I'm not saying it's a bad movie, I'm just saying now everybody is gonna get turned on by it.Coincidentally, Transporter 2 also got a B- from 13 critics. It's probably not gonna stir everybody's cocoa, but some people are gonna like it. BTW - Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones got 19 critics giving it a B on yahoo, whereas I'd say that movie sucked balls.

This all came out of my observation that some critics disagreed with the critics that IJTF_Cinder heard on the radio. That just proves that you shouldn't believe everything you read, watch or hear on the Internet, TV, or the radio!
