what did you like so much about deep red?, i liked the setting and atmosphere but other then that it was to long and slow, felt like it just kept dragging on and on

T, it's a movie. All movies drag on. But they also do things. It's up to you the viewer to pay attention to what those things are. I'm starting to think - NO OFFENSE - that you don't know how to pay attention at all. I'm serious. Because if you pay attention, you understand how good or bad the movie is.

And it's only 22 minutes longer than say... Saw. Which dragged on and on without delivering anything. So, what's your point about Deep Red again? Deep Red continued to deliver masterfully shot and edited scene after scene.

I will give you one bit on the movie though, the music did repeat a bit too many times. But it's damn good music. So, it's up to the viewer to either like it or hate it. But again, it's the 1970's. So, unlike today's shitty decade in horror, it's got more variety and more quality to it than all the music that sounds the same in every movie that feels the same coming out now.

I'll also give you this as well - I think we're different people when it comes to movies. My real serious passion in life is movies and TV. And we watch differently. I think that you look to see as much as you can. I don't do that. I want to see only what's good and I want to have a good experience everytime, that's my top interest.

I guess that doesn't explain it well. But this is a message board, so there's always later to come back to it.

i dont agree that all movies drag on, i have seen movies that move at a great pace, keep you entertained and guessing throughout, atleast saw was able to to that for me, deep red did not, it was to slow, to boring and didnt have much happening and it was what just over 2 hours?? not a complete waste of time, but not a very good movie either

[lazario]

In your opinion. Which if I may be honest, is so flawed it's not worth discussing any further.

[tsmooth31]

everything we both say on this board is our own opinion, and you shouldnt talk about anythiong being flawed, remember when you didnt even know what an opinion was??

[lazario]

Yes. And I was just as bad then as I am now.
