Gran Torino was a horrible movie. I felt so robbed by the time it was over. Clint Eastwood's movies (that is, the movies he directs) usually fall flat on their faces and just feel weird. I did LOVE Unforgiven, though, and i will concede that i liked Million Dollar Baby.
But Gran Torino had horrible acting, a horrible plot, and it just felt plain awkward. I don't understand the praise this movie gets. Maybe it's because Clint Eastwood spends the entire movie raving like a lunatic. I don't know.

how is it that Million Doller Baby won an academy award, but this movie got ignored? this is by far the better movie (don't get me wrong, Million Dollar Baby is a great movie, but this movie was an enjoyable expirence, while Million Dollar Baby was nothing but a huge downer).

Clint Eastwood is a great actor and a good director. But the movie wasn't creative (no, no it really wasn't). I do believe that once you've seen hundreds of movies, it's easy, you've seen this kind of story many times before. Anyways, it's just too bad that you'd go from something really unique to praising something which is dreadfully common. Sorry if I sounded a bit abrasive.

Hum, my reply somehow got lost.
Don't get me wrong, a LOT of people enjoyed this movie. It was actually nominated in the French movie awards for best foreign picture (can you imagine?) It didn't win however (to my relief).
I think you showed promise in your interpretation of Watchmen. It wasn't a movie everyone enjoyed but it was fresh, different a really creative.

@FuryoftheFilmFan Hi. Let me rephrase this:
A lot of people enjoyed this movie, heck, it was even among the finalist in France for the best foreign picture (which it didn't win to my relief). I'll admit I'm not very tolerant but there is such a thing as "drab, recycled" movies. I didn't say it was horrible, it just lacked creativity.

I'm stunned that someone managed to appreciate Watchmen and somehow come to the conclusion that this movie was great.
The story IS a simple tale. Ah man, I had to stop watching. You showed promise in your appreciate of Watchmen but you show a lack of taste when it comes to this movie.
Million Dollars Baby was excellent but this movie was just so predictable and cliche, the complete opposite of the Watchmen. 0__0'

Sorry for spamming, the net messed up and I didn't see that my message got posted.

I liked this movie... it was what Dirty Harry might have turned out like as a elderly man.
I think you need to get more classics under your belt and it'll give you some more perspective to appreciate good movies and quickly identify common, drab and just beige movies.

@Sohardtofindaname1 I think you need to show a little more tolerance to other peoples opinions and understand that people enjoy different things. Just because someone loves a certain movie and states why he or she does doesn't mean simply because you don't agree that they have a lack of taste in film. That type of dogmatic thinking is unhealthy, rather than say I need to see more classics couldn't you recommend a film instead?
