City of Men review by Fury of the Film Fan

[kriokdusurf]

y liiiikeeeee very sooo muchhhh

y love Brazil i am Brazilian

[Rtv03]

I have searched the entire internet, planet and galaxy for this film.

Can't find it with subs.

I wanna see it so badly. I liked the gritty but sunny atmosphere of City of God.

And these type of sad stories really kick in. Thanks for the review, never knew it was based off a series.

[crazycoolone]

I think that's the point of boys trying to teach boys is a problem (the blind leading the blind in the wake of absentee fathers.). I think that this tv series can go there like US tv series cannot do.

This series was funny, touching, and innovative.

I only wish American tv series could touch on subjects like this because they do not.

[RichyJA]

Im afraid to go to Brazil I love the movie tho

[crusader881]

whats your name

[Gxyz222]

My advise to anyone watching this movie; don't watch it in english dub, it just sounds really whack!

[JOAOBUNITAO]

the hell ? listen CITY OF GOD was based on a true story and city of men is based on a tv series they just used the same actor get your facts straight before doing a review buddy.

[FuryoftheFilmFan]

@JOAOBUNITAO did you listen to the review thats exactly what I said, get YOUR facts straight before you comment buddy.

[Darkskinnded]

The reviewer was wrong in saying that was Ace..........he was called Steak and Fries in city of God. Great movie

[FuryoftheFilmFan]

@Darkskinnded pay attention I wasn't wrong at all, this is a review for City of MEN and in this film his name was Ace.

[killerrodan]

Good review,I'll check this one out.

[xonoffx]

this serial is imho as exciting as lost

[outrageousmusic]

Obrigado, i have seasons 1-2 have to get the other 2.

[MissNophi2U]

for anyone who has watched the series, what will break you heart is seeing these two lifelong friends actually turn on each other.

part of me hopes they keep this going.

oh, and Madrugadão is HOT!

[harryheckjr]

The tv series alone is gold. I wish American tv shows were more like this tv series.

[DowntownPhillie]

when this coming out?????

[Rio4everr]

brasil4ever

[SenhordoBonfim]

how can a mini-series run for four seasons? that's mini? :)

[DaGlowingElement]

Each series was up to 5 episodes long, with the exception of series 1 which was up to only 4 episodes.

[jcollado823]

this is a great film my wifes family is from rio and whats so wonderful about this film is the truth behind the movie, this maybe fiction but city of god was non fiction i actually lived in rio for sometime and if u need a reality check try living in another country.

[rzwnakmal47]

Good review and Good Personal Statement

I will give this movie try, I liked City of God also I did not know that this was from a TV Show I will see if I can get a hold of that too, Thanks

[baracine]

Misery porn + torture porn + ultra-violence + glorification of the ciminal lifestyle + afternoon soap opera elements to keep the story going + pre-sold impressionable not-quite-jaded-yet teenage American public who will watch anything with guns and plenty of graphic bloodletting = "City of Men"

[goodboy100m]

Did you not listen to the review...Family, Friendship, Fatherhood. Your stupid...all i gotta say.

[baracine]

Family, Fatherhod = Everyone has parents but only the very dumb impregnate a 13-year-old female slut and produce offspring they can't support.

Friendship = Killing off your best friend?

[Osucodecaju21]

dude your so wrong, u sound smart but dude I know how Brasil realy is, and i grew up with the series, u actualy grow a bond and understandings with the characters. and the series is much better than the movie, but for us fans, i guess we deserved an ending to the series, and this movie was just right.

[Olando433]

Right on!

[bluregardqcazu]

tHAT IS PRETTY NORMAL HERE IN BRAZIL

[dj1206]

[SurooshX]

I never wouldn've guessed the answer to that questions. The trivias are awesome, keep 'em coming.

[FuryoftheFilmFan]

SurooshX- That was a tricky one eh? hehehe. thanks

[fijifooXtreme]

great review as always fury!!! keep it up

i've wanted to see "city of god" for some time...i guess i'm really behind with that

haha

at least review "There Will Be Blood"

or "no country" when they are released on DVD if you didn't get a chance to see them.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on those films!

P.S get back on Xbox Live!!! =P

keep up the good work buddy

[FuryoftheFilmFan]

fijifooXtreme- I know I gotta get back on live, I've been so busy I haven't even touched the xbox except for some mass effect here and there.

I will probably review the dvd versions of those movies. Maybe no country will have an alternate ending like I am legend has. maaaybe. thanks man

[Anarchist86ed]

Don't feel bad. XboxLive is full of scum and villainy.

[xostormox]

Yeah, i agree with your review.

[BottomlessLocker]

did you, or are you ever gonna review juno? I saw it, but I wanna know what u think/thought.

lol

[FuryoftheFilmFan]

BottomlessLocker- I didn't have time to get around to the old movies like No country and There will be blood, I don't think I'll review them, too many movies coming out now. I thought juno was okay but no way deserved an oscar nomination for best pic.

[Unn0ticed]
