The poster look amazing. Again like Casino from Scorsese…
Your comparing these posters?
The Revolver poster looks tacky, next time your in a video store just look Every B-movie has a gun on the cover! I dont know if thats what he was looking for? also every character on the cover! looks to busy.
it reminds me of copland…

No, wasn’t that one. I’ll look for the one I talk about, and show you.
don’t you mean Goodfellas’ maybe?
Goodfellas’ one and Casino are quite the same. So teh both have the ssame touch, and style as Revolver…
Thats a bit better…
that one reminds me of sin city, maybe its the red lettering and black background and guns that remind me hartigan

[size=150]Early Reviews Savage Revolver![/size]
Oh shit, Guy Ritchie got slaughtered!!
Ouch!
[quote]Yet, as bad as Tidelands is, it’s got competition for the “Worst Movie of the 2005 Festival” award, and that competition comes from Guy Ritchie’s Revolver. To date, Swept Away was universally viewed as Ritchie’s worst effort. Revolver is supposed to be his comeback - a return to the genre in which his success was born (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch). With this movie, we are supposed to believe that the remake of the Lina Wertmuller film was an aberration. But, surprise of surprises, Revolver turns out to be worse than Swept Away - and not just by a little bit.
I have to wonder whether the difference between “old” Ritchie and “new” Ritchie is Matthew Vaughn. Vaughn produced both Lock Stock and Snatch before going on to direct Layer Cake. His name does not appear on the credit list for Revolver - in fact, it has been replaced by that of French schlockmeister Luc Besson, who seems to have his hand in every non-Hollywood action movie. Or maybe Ritchie’s recent infatuation with Kabbalah is to blame. Whatever the reason, Revolver is a misfire of shocking proportions.
As with Tideland, the premise sounds promising. (This is why relying on summaries in festival program books can lead to bad experiences.) An ex-con, Jake Green (Jason Stratham), is released from prison and decides to take revenge upon the crime boss, Macha (Ray Liotta), whom he blames for putting him inside. After publicly humiliating Macha, Jake thinks he has evened the score. But Macha is pissed and puts out a contract on Jake’s life. Enter Avi (Andre Benjamin) and Zach (Vincent Pastore), who act as Jake’s guardian angels. It turns out that Jake has a fatal blood disease and will die in a few days but, if he signs over all his money to these two guys and agrees to work for them, they’ll keep him alive until his ailment eliminates him. This all leads to incoherence, an unbelievably drawn-out ending, and a “twist” that even an inattentive viewer will see coming. None of the cleverness, dark humor, or wit of Ritchie’s first two offerings are to be found. There is violence but, with the lone exception of hit-man’s conscience-spurred spree near the end of the movie, little flair.
I wanted to like Revolver - wanted to so much, in fact, that I stayed rather than bailing to see another festival movie. My patience was not rewarded. Ritchie begins cheating about half-way through the movie, refusing to play by the rules he has established, then blaming it all on an unreliable narrator. Even by cheating, however, he is unable to sew up all the holes he has created. And as things make increasingly less sense, Revolver devolves into little more than yelling, opera singing, and overacting. (Ray Liotta gets the crown in that department.) This is Ritchie having the cinematic equivalent of a nervous breakdown and regurigating it onto the screen. And it’s not just incoherent violence. There’s plenty of mystical, pseudo-intellectual verbal diarrhea. Self-indulgent doesn’t begin to describe it.
I don’t know whether Revolver will catch the eye of some distributor (such things are unpredictable) but, if it ever shows up at a multiplex near you, stay away.

I haven't read very many positive reviews, I shall still go to watch this filmnevertheless, you can't always trust those American critics.
Fucking good news. I watched it and it was really great, I was certainly NOT disappointed and definitely enjoyed it.
“Snatch… Please, another Snatch…” blah blah blah shut the fuck up. It is not Snatch, all right I bet you’re 34 and keeping paper umbrellas from your old birthday party drinks. You didn’t like Revolver? Look in your drawer, there are many tiny umbrellas and good memories.
It was one of the weirdest movies I’ve seen, you’ll get all confused as well. I just enjoyed it and I hope you will. I was laughing, because I got the Guy Ritchie humour and so on, I was laughing almost ALL THE TIME because I enjoyed the nuances and everything - it’s like making fun of serious movies, it’s almost serious but it’s somehow not. Well, there were several periods of time when I was just sitting there and listening to overwise quotes and phrases. Whenever you hear “Yes, but I have only one last question” or “Yes, but there’s one more thing I have to tell you”, expect 5 minutes of someone talking. But even that was funny. Incredible. Writing this I get more and more happy about this project.
Just too much precociousness. Snatch had too many idiots and ignorant criminals, this one has too little, while too many WISE characters. That gets annoying. But then again - it’s all paid for with the funny stuff.
Whatever, I’m definitely NOT a good review writer, but my whole point is - SEE THE MOVIE! So no reviews about my review.
By the way I experienced this thing - after the movie one guy was saying to another “and I had to sit here for two hours to see this shit”, so I understood where the bad reviews are coming from. The posters said Guy Ritchie’s Revolver, not Terminator 4, moron.
well i heard it sucks and its a giant Goodfellas/Casino ripoff and a of a copy of a copy, over the top, and the way the shots are composed are really stealing marty’s trademarks
and no i didnt get this from a forum but a friend who downloaded it, im gonna wait untill it released in threatres here and check it out for myself
but im not a real Richie fan anymore, i was though, but i saw Lock Stock again the other day and became a little annoyed by it, same with Snatch, its got an atmosphere thats not really my cup of tea anymore, dunnu how, something clicked that made it very annoying to me
but ill check out Revolver soon and share you judgement with you all
but the main reason im gonna watch it is not Guy Richie, but Jason Statham, because hes so great and can make a movie just by being who he is
DUDE. Don’t go watch Revolver then. Seriously. You have to love Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barels, I guess. And I haven’t seen neither Goodfellas or Casino. So I can’t judge about this movie being a ripoff. Maybe what I call “weird” is a unsuccessful bunch of stolen ideas and styles. Whatever, I like the movie.
Imagine Jason Statham as a smartass. Just imagine him being a smartass. If you don’t like this image, you’re not gonna like the movie.
And throw that idea of “ok, I’m gonna check it out, but I already have a judgement - it sucks” out of your head.
[Edit] I guess I’m a big Guy Ritchie fan. His atmosphere IS great.
Well, the imdb rating certainly ain’t promising. But I’ll pass judgement only when I see it.
