Mel Gibson to Star in Edge of Darkness

[matrix_ghost]

I would not go that far to say it was marketed as action, but the first Hulk people was a bit too Deep for most of the GA that thought of the character as Bixby/ Ferrigno and never read a Hulk comic.

Well there is always the general idea amongst those who know hulk which is about him asskicking. But you'll always have the one time issues in the comics which actually definate from the usual stuff you get.
Same thing with the first movie but it was just the complete wrong thing to do because IMO it's so uncommercial that audiences would never watch the movie .

Explain tortured.
Tortured as in feeling tortured because of the loss of his daughter or actually tortured
If it's the latter then..

Spoiler

No. He was only 1 time captured by the guys at Northmoor and i think they woúld've started torturing him but he woke up just in time

Spoiler

Hmmm, that's kind of disappointing, maybe Mel isn't too keen on the in-joke anymore.

 

[TheFuture]

Didn't feel anything special towards the film, it's clear at times that Mel hasn't been in front of the camera for a long time; his acting is unintentionally comical at times.

The storyline, while I got it, wasn't exactly compelling either.

Disappointed with it to be honest.

With Martin Campbell being the director of Green Lantern, is this an indicator of what to expect? Or is it just a fluke on his part (Streamlining a mini-series into a two hour movie), and we can expect another Casino Royale type film?

 

[Deaths Head II]

Campbell made two of my favorite James Bond films of all time. One mediocre film isn't enough to dampen my hopes for Green Lantern.

 

[Superark]

Just saw the movie. It was a really really good film! Mel was absolutely awesome! One of his best roles ever!

"Deep down you know you deserve this!"

 

[Hannibal Smith]

I think Gibson needs to do a comedy and not the Puppet one but a comedy to play his shere madness for he has a great comedy ability.

I want to see this

 

[terry78]

I didn't know this was a big screen version of a tv show until after the fact.

 

[SentinelMind]

The trailer was definitely false advertising, although I understand that's the business.
I know this is the same director directed the British miniseries in 80s, but he clearly must have been making this remake film for money.

I'm a Mel Gibson fan, but this by far wasn't one of his best works. The movie was too inconsistent...I can see why Robert Di Nero left the film second day, the direction was basically a Mel Gibson driven flick. I liked Mel's acting, best part of film, I think he delivered the lines well (although I'm starting to think they wrote certain lines simply for the trailer and not the movie). I didn't really care for anybody else's performance, maybe the daughter, but everyone seemed too one-dimiensional or hammy. The main villian/CEO (at the point just appeared to be a regular CEO) came across weak...the whole "what does it feel like (that your daughter's dead)" line poses to Gibson was worst line in movie. Why would a CEO undercover for big conspiracy ask such a dumb, insensitive question?

The problem with the movie its not an action movie, and the conspirancy/suspense wasn't that compelling. I didn't care for the fist fights or how Gibson effortlessly went from step 1 to step 2.... I didn't care about the conspirancy and you could see it coming a mile away. You can tell the fat guy who plays the Illuminati-type character (can't remember his name) had lot of his character development chopped out of the film.
This movie may have been better if it came out in the early 90s or something. This movie didn't add anything fresh to the genre.

Overall, I'm glad Mel's back, but this movie was too inconsistent, choppy, and not executed well. I'd give it a 6.

Quite enjoyed this film.. I don't have anything really in depth to say about it other than I thought it was quite a good film throughout.

[Hannibal Smith]

I am not sure these news guys should be messing Mad Mel which was what always considered him. For he can swing a mace still i bet.

That is absolutely brilliant!!

7/10

Beware SPOILERISH...

Oh why, why, why??? This is 3/4 of a masterful suspense thriller that does everything right. I found myself mesmerized and moved by the story early on. Mel Gibson brings his A-game and is as good here as he’s ever been. You truly feel his character’s loss and are fully engaged in his efforts to uncover truth and get justice for his daughter. Subsidiary characters and potential villains are introduced masterfully. I even found myself chuckling out loud at certain actions and moments in the film. I was loving everything about this intense yet intelligent film. Then, it came time for the third act and conclusion. Needless to say, the final flavor and resolution didn’t meet the high level that the rest of the film had remarkably crafted. It was like puncturing the fuel tank on a race car that was in the clear and ready to coast home to victory. A 10/10 “masterpiece” quickly became a 7/10 “nice effort” film.

 

[Mace Dolex]

Everybody makes mistakes and Mel has seen his errors and done something about it so yeah I agree on him insulting the interviewer.

He was there to talk about his movie and that bald guy who looks like comic writer Brian Michael Bendis goes off topic.

I wonder what Mel would've done if the interview was right there one on one.

go Mel go

That was superb & a very accurate description of the reporter/host whoever that.. ******* was..

I agree 1000% with what the article on FMT says & indeed Mel Gibson himself.. it was 4 years ago. People make mistakes, people say things they wish they hadn't, people do things they wish they hadn't, he publically apologised (twice I believe) for any offence caused during his drunken rant, and thats the key word. 'Drunken'. Everyone has something they've done while they where drunk that they would like mentioned as little as possible.. if at all.
People need to move on. He apologised for any offence caused which in itself should be an indication that he didn't mean or know what he was saying & that should be the end of it, never to be brought up.. at least on a live interview involving a film he is trying to promote & nothing to do with the incident whatsoever...

Anyway, Mel Gibson is back to form. Also unless my eyes & ears deceive me in recent years we've seen Die Hard, Rocky, Rambo (x2 maybe?), Universal Soldier, Beverly Hills Cop(?) & Ghostbusters(?) all make solid if unspectacular combacks.. So my question is this :- Where is Lethal Weapon 5?!
I do recall Gibson said "No" to the idea of it a few years ago, I wonder has his return to film perhaps sparked some interest in doing a 5th..

 

[Mace Dolex]

I just hate the fact that Mel can get away with insults but I go and insult a customer where I work and get fired for it.

If Mel can be forgiven why can't I?

 

[echostation]

cuz he's Mel Gibson... technically he can't really be fired right? I'm not sure how it works in the entertainment business, but he's earned so much money as is he's settled well financially, what will he be fired from? directing a film? or acting? for insulting? i doubt it... Look at what Bale did...

 

[Mace Dolex]

Dude just humor me.

 

[DarkKnight88]

It would be more if a customer wanted to interview you about your job and how well you've been doing these past months and so you set up a meeting time for the interview and everything is going fine during the interview and then the interviewer brings up the time that you got drunk at a party and threw up over the hottest girl in school five years ago and if people would ever forget that. You would slowly turn to him and say "*******."

lol he wasn't very tough in signs
