Anyone planning on seeing this?
I read it's Scorsese's best since Goodfella's, and I loved the aviator too.
Usually i'm weary of ensamble casts, but this one looks too good on paper to pass up.
Director Martin Scorsese
Lead villian - Jack Nicholson
Matt Damon
Leonardo DiCaprio
Mark Walberg
Alex Baldwin
Martin Sheen
Ray Winstone

I'm sure it's good, but I saw the original so I am not that excited to see it. Definitely go see it though if you don't know the whole plot.

yes, I'll be there, and in fact, the first movie I've paid to see in a theater in at least 12 months.

I watched an HBO special on it, I think it gave away too much.

Hopefully not

I'm sure you'll still enjoy it. I am still going to see it but at the cheap seats probably.

The commercials looked amazing. In fact, as soon as I saw the cast, I wanted to see it. It's like the Jason Bourne meets Frank Abignale meets Charlie Croker (Italian Job). You just can't beat that.

And don't forget Jack Nicholson, the guy doesn't do much lately but he's a three time oscar winner (very few of those). He's been doing a lot of comedy these past years so it'll be good seeing him play a badass again.
I read some posts on rottentomatoes about it. I might have to see it this weekend after all...

The wife and I just got back from seeing it. Very good, pretty intense ending.

Just saw it today. Intense ending as Dmorris said wink A little different seeing Jack Nicholson playing a serious role after his recent comedic roles. Lots of good acting.
[spoiler0418f2b210]What I found a little disturbing is that the audience laughed at the end when everyone was killing each other. I guess there is some dark humor in this movie.[/spoiler0418f2b210]

I ended up seeing it, it was good. Nicholson was awesome.
[spoilerbfe96745bd]I don't think the end was meant to be funny, that's how the original was. The guy in our theater laughing the most at the end was a complete tool that kept making stupid comments throughout the movie.[/spoilerbfe96745bd]
My Dad saw it last night. He liked it so much he called me and told me to go and see it... lol
