Exactly what you expect
22 August 2011
Hobo with a shotgun is exactly what you would expect it to be, a gore filled movie with outrageous action and violence. This movie is never going to win a movie for best plot or anything of the nature, but it is not meant to, it is just a movie to sit back, relax, and watch some intense over the top gore that the whole 'grindhouse' genre is known for. I found my self laughing at a couple of points in the film at to how ridiculous it became in spots, but then again, that is what they went for when making this movie. If you have a semi-decent tolerance to gore, a twisted sense of humor, and an hour and a half to kill, check out Hobo. It is a pretty decent turn your brain off action film, with some absurdly hilarious scenes.

Just Phenomenal

I am a die hard Tarantino fan, the movies he writes and directs are always among my favorites, and I have been following this movie since it was rumored to be his next. Yet once i saw the trailers and commercials i was disappointed on what i believed the movie was gonna be. Shame on me for doubting QT!

As in all Tarantino movies, the dialog is fantastic. The opening milk scene is well written and really locked me into the movie. As well as the rendezvous at the bar whilst playing the card game, during the confrintation with the major, and the Mexican standoff. Without going too in depth about it it is just classic QT and is what makes me love his films.

The music is the only thing i could complain about, if there is anything to complain about. Most, if not all the songs reminded me of Kill Bill. When a song came on i just immediately shot to whatever scene in Kil Bill the similar song. I asked some other people if they felt the same way about the music and they said they could see it but not as bad as me. I don't know, it was just a personal thing.

Overall the movie is a hilarious, well written, extremely violent action sack. I loved it for almost every second except when it ended, i did not want it to end. I like how Hitler and his whole high command were all killed, and how it is it's own history book. In order for a movie to be good, it does not have to be historically accurate, and this movies proves it.

Keep it going QT! You keep this going and i will be a fan for life

why would you do this to people?
22 February 2008
this movie is to say the least, one of the worst things done to mankind in the past 100 years right behind the a-bomb. I had the misfortune of seeing this piece of garbage with my sister for her birthday. I would not recommend seeing this movie even it it is for comic value of how bad it is. There are 3 scales of bad: 1. the kind that makes you laugh it is so bad (murdercycle) 2. the kind that is soo bad it pisses you off (Epic Movie) 3. Gary busey bad (The hottie and the nottie). i hated it but my sister loved it, (granted she is 12 and has down syndrome (no lie)). the fact that this movie also tries to portray a message is even worse, because i wasn't sure what it was until i did some reading.... this is perfect grounds why IMDb needs a 0/10

It burned my eyes
16 December 2007
yet again i wish IMDb had a 0/10 ranking. my little brother made the mistake of renting this title from a red-box using a promo code. i was upset realizing that although the rental was free, the amount of energy i spent walking with him to the store to rent it was about as much that was put into this movie. It was horrendous. This, along with epic movie, murder-cycle, and the ghoul school, are some of the only movies that actually made my eyes hurt. While the stupid humor (or lack there of) managed to keep our golden retrieve entertained, my brother (who enjoyed from Justin to Kelly) and i would have no part of it, turning it off before the ending, which i had no desire in seeing. i regret seeing this movie and feel empty realizing that watching this probably did more damage to my body than my smoking habit.

God Awful
14 November 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This is easily one of the worst movies i have ever seen. There is so much at the house that goes wrong that would not happen it isn't even funny. Granted this is a movie meaning things that won't happen in normal life happen here, however this movie is more far fetched than theories that no child left behind is working. All of these people are in the house and nobody has noticed another, not to mention the damn owl that seems to be coming everywhere but in its cage. I could deal with an owl joke the first few times, but after an hour i just can't take it, i would rather kill myself than see that damn owl again. Did i laugh during this movie? no. Not even once? no. Horrible, Horrible, Horrible. The fact that this pile of garbage is capped off with Ashton Kutcher bending his boss over and taking his pants off in front of everybody just makes this movie ever worse. But wait, the day is saved because the damn owl can fly. WOW AMAZING! However, i do give this movie some cred, its not as bad as Epic Movie.....

Epic Movie (2007)

Is this were a caste system Epic Movie would be below untouchalbes

I returned home on a Friday night to find my brother had rented epic movie. Seeing previews for it before, i was familiar with the title but never saw it, i decided to plop this baby into my ps2 and see what unfolded. I am lucky my ps2 didn't throw this movie at my throat. From the start, there lacked a plot. Something about orphans going on an epic quest but that was quickly dismissed as the nacho libre joke came into play which a blind man could see coming from a mile away. The joke of him holding the NACHO!! scream for an extended time. Movie on from there, there was a repetition of every scary and date movie ever conceived. I did not even crack a smile during this movie due to absolute poor writing of every joke. I don't know how anybody could laugh at this because every joke had been done before in every other movies by these people. Scary Movie was the first..gave me some chuckles.....2 was the same thing with new movies, and after that it was just an avalanche of horrible cinema. If i could go lower than a 1 i would. however the ratings do not so i am forced with a one. Especially on a major company with a budget, it still remained a disgrace and will remain a skid mark on any actor in that movie's career if they ever become good, besides David Carradine.

I play hockey and didn't enjoy it
19 May 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I have played hockey since i was 3 and this movie was a huge letdown when it came to the hockey aspect. Yeah sure they may have used real players but most of it was about herb brooks and not the actual games, why don't they call it herbicle because 80% of the shots in the movie have herb in them......ridiculous. however, there is a couple of pro's to the movie, it was a good way for CCM to market their new "classic" glove line. last time i checked they didn't have those glittery glamorous pro tacks way back when. Through in through if you want to watch a real hockey movie that is not revolving around a single coach and more around a team, watch slap shot or mystery Alaska. Although one of the biggest characters in slap shot is the coach but that is besides the point.

4/10
