Tell Us What You Thought Of Bag Of Bones



Tonight was the first part of Bag Of Bones.  I thought it was great!  Did it light y'all up, or let you down?

    I love this site.

    As for the movie. I'm floored! I think Brosnan (although not an obvious choice for Mike) was excellent. In fact, the whole cast was great! I think it may come close to being the best thing Garris has done in years, if not ever. I'm drooling to see part 2!

    Great sound and I love love love the pacing.

    I'm on the record as definitely NOT being a fan of Mick Garris's work, but I thought Part 1 of "Bag of Bones" was decent. Not great, by any means, but not bad. Probably the best work I've seen from Garris so far.

    I can already tell, though, that so much of the novel has been left out that the movie overall has zero chance of being a truly good adaptation. On its own, though, it looks like -- provided Part 2 is as good as Part 1 -- it's not too shabby.

    I already saw part 2, and thought it was great. I was hopeful you would gain a greater respect for Garris' work ! Come on over to the Garris side, bryant. come on. . . join the dark side. . .

    Sadly, it's an involuntary-response type thing. Therefore, nothing I can do about it one way or another.

    Glad you enjoyed it, though! I've certainly seen WAY worse.

    involuntary response ? A Jedi is not controlled by such things!

    AWAY put your weapon! I mean you no harm!

    That said ... like ALL right-thinking people, I am more of a "Star Trek" fan than a "Star Wars" fan.

    Therefore, logic dictates that I am unlikely to enjoy a film by the director of "Sleepwalkers," "The Stand," the television version of "The Shining," "Riding the Bullet," and "Desperation." Logic also dictates that while enjoying such a film may be statistically unlikely, it is, nevertheless, possible.

    Like I said, I do think -- based purely on Part 1 -- that "Bag of Bones" might be the best work Garris has done so far. I usually find his work to be thoroughly shrill and overbearing, and here, he's at least restrained a lot of those impulses.
