Moonrise Kingdom

Whether you think cinema died with Hitchcock or only got good once Michael Bay started blowing up helicopters, this is the place where moving pictures are discussed.

    Moonrise Kingdom
    I watched this a couple of weekends ago and I still can't get over how wonderful it was. I have been desperate to go watch it again but I can't afford to go the cinema

    Anyway has anybody else seen this? I love Wes Anderson :biggrin:

    I've seen all his films apart from this one. I'm really looking forward to it. There's just something unique about the humor in this guy's films. I loved all of them apart from Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou .

    I saw it last night. I really want to see it again! It's now in my top 3 films. I've not seen any other Wes Anderson films, are they all as good with the same style/comedy?

    Yeah they're all as good (in my opinion anyway). You can always tell from the first frame that it's a Wes Anderson film.

    I originally saw Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Life Aquatic, without knowing who directed them, so when I realised it was the same guy, I tried Rushmore and The Darjeeling Limited. I was so excited when I heard about Moonrise! It was the first time I had seen a Wes Anderson film in the cinema too. As soon as I walked out, I wanted to see it again, so I'm waiting for the DVD.

    I think it had flaws, which is unlike his others, but in general it had a sheer brilliance to it, so it's my new favourite.

    I've noticed Wes Anderson's stuff is like marmite, you either love it or you hate it.

    I think it's arguably his best film so far. Also, anyone who hasn't seen Royal Tenenbaums should watch it immediately.

    I loved Moonrise Kingdom! It's become my second favorite Wes Anderson film.

    I completely love how they are made...

    That's the one I need to see, also his shorts, it does seem I won't enjoy it as much.

    I think Moonrise Kingdom is my favourite.

    I've been addicted to them since Fantastic Mr Fox.
    I wonder when the DVD release will be...I am so impatient.

    I've not noticed that, but then again I haven't had many other opinions on his stuff which is a shame.

    My first would probably be Rushmore.
