Mel Gibson may be psychotic, but the dude picks some good movies

I can't wait to see this one

They are promoting the heck out of it. I've never seen so many commercials.

I'm hoping it's good, too.

Mel has a way of playing the avenger (Braveheart, The Patriot, etc.).

I've never seen so much psychotic overacting in my life from him in Braveheart.

This movie does look good though.

I saw Payback at the theater. I thought it was "OK". He has a whole host of other movies that where far better than Payback.

and "Ransom"

Yeah, Ransom was pretty good.

I read an article a while back that said Mel Gibson was originally offered the role of Maximus in Gladiator.

He turned it down because he thought he was too old.

I saw it last night. I really liked it. Good movie to spend time watching. Nothing special though, typical Mel cop movie. But I liked it

He probably could have made Gladiator work but I think it was right actor, right movie and right time for Crowe.

"Father of murdered son, husband to a murdered wife...I will get my vengeance in this life or the next"

"The time for honoring yourself will soon come to and end"

"You will see them again.... but not yet"

Djimon was awesome in that movie also.



Back to Mel... if he makes it... I will watch it.

Not a fan of revenge thrillers?

Not a fan of movies with lines like...

Gibson: Would you please remove your glasses?

Glasses Guy: <removes glasses>

Gibson: <punches glassless Glasses Guy in face>

I do enjoy watching Gibson get tased at the end of the trailer though. :laugh2:

There are numerous likable qualities in Mel Gibson. Unfortunately, he battles a number of inner demons.

Regardless, no contemporary revenge thriller will ever compare to the original:
