last movie you watched 2

[Doubting Thomas]

Catching Fire. It was okay, but the ending was not really an ending. It just kind of stopped.

I agree. I think it's just the step between the first movie and the next two. As if they didn't have that planned out all along.

Before that, the last movie I watched was "The Counselor." Total garbage, don't waste your time. Could be an interesting movie about people hiding from and being on the run from drug cartels, but gets bogged down in heavy dialogue as if each character is trying to be extremely profound. Ends up being a confusing mess and you often aren't sure what's going on. I understand this is because the movie was written by a novelist as his first screenplay effort.

It is written by one of my favorite novelists, Cormac McCarthy, the best living American novelist, IMO.

It hurts me to hear that this movie is bad, because his books are so good.

I think that's why a lot of people were disappointed in the movie. With McCarthy writing and Ridley Scott directing, not to mention so many stars in the cast, it should have been so much better. He should have had someone with experience helping him write the screenplay. Novels don't translate directly into movies, you have to explain more in movies.
