Gemmill 34461 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Tell him to fuck off with Snatch tbh. It's absolute shite. The rest are worth seeing. Agreed, I thought it was fucking terrible. The fight/Fuckin in the bushes bit is brilliant. I loved Snatch, what's wrong with it? Not that much. People just don't like Guy Ritchie because they think he's a mockney twat. Bollocks. People just don't like Snatch because it isn't any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I liked Snatch just not as much as Lock Stock because it really seemed to re hash a lot of the ideas. If Snatch had been made first I think peoples feelings on it would have been the other way round. From what I can gather Snatch seems to have been much better received overseas. Anyway I should have Rashomon sitting waiting for me tonight and that Three Burials should arrive tomorrow so I'm looking forward to watching them over the weekend. I think that's the reason why I liked it better than Lock Stock - I saw Snatch first. They really are quite similar. I agree, I can understand why someone would criticise it for just being more of the same but can't really get how someone could think one is good and the other shite. Because we've heard the jokes before and the film generally isn't as good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I think that, even if Snatch had came out first, most people would still prefer Lock, Stock.... It's just a far better film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why you say it's generally not as good though. I think it's a better made film tbh. At the end of the day it's subjective like anything else.

It wasn't as good a film. Sometimes opinions on films can be that simple. I've no real desire to convince you one way or the other, but to put it down to people not liking Guy Ritchie is daft.

Happy Face 29 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 (edited) It wasn't as good a film. Sometimes opinions on films can be that simple. I've no real desire to convince you one way or the other, but to put it down to people not liking Guy Ritchie is daft. When the two films are virtually identical and there's no apparent reason given for liking the first one and hating the second, the only thing I can presume is that the debut was out of nowhere by an unknown which meant nobody had any prejudice against it. Going into Snatch everyone knew more about Ritchie and couldn't forgive him treading the same ground as if all he knows is being a geezer, and that pissed them off. If that's daft, so fuck, because if no one can explain why they were so different class it's the only logical explanation I can come to.

If that's daft, so fuck, because if no one can explain why they were so different class it's the only logical explanation I can come to. In my opinion they aren't virtually identical. In my opinion Lock Stock was far the more entertaining film. That's all really. I don't like to over-analyse films so that's as much as I can give you by way of logical explanation for why I prefer one over the other. Watching films to me is about being entertained, so if one film entertains me and another doesn't, I tend to prefer the former over the latter.

David Kelly 1117 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 The only thing I can come up with is not connecting with the characters in Snatch the same way as those in Lock Stock. Personally I prefered the Lock Stock characters but didn't dislike the Snatch ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Leazes could use a similar argument as to why Shepherd is best for Newcastle and stop trying to come up with actual reasons. Save us all some time.

snakehips 0 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Went to this afternoon's showing of The Illusionist. I love being in the cinema when it's virtually empty and there aint any brainless youths in. Anyway, it was okay though not fantastic. Some good scenes and a reasonable storyline but I reckon it could have been a far better film with a few more shekles spent - there had obviously been a few bob spent but it could have been really good special effects-wise. 7/10 on the hipsters scale. btw, Snatch is the one where Bradley Pitt played the tinker with the dreadful accent, yes? An accent so dreadful that I couldn't understand a fuckin' word of what he was saying throughout the film! THAT'S why the film was tosh, imo.
