Nice use of music, too. There were a couple scenes where I actually realized how cool the score was, which is rare.
Yeah, some of the points in the movie when the bass kicks in, I was like damn! this is sweet music!. Especially the machine-gun part. This isn't a spoiler. It's in the trailer.
The music was also really simple and effective. It sounded like things I could do with a Roland synth and a drum machine, so, hats off to the composer. He kicked ass at his job.
Though, I was hoping to hear Anthrax's "I AM THE LAW" song kick in at some point. Even at the end credits. That song's opening guitar riffs have that badass feel to them that would've fit in really well.
I definitely like that this one had the gritty, f*ck yeah violence aspect of the comics. Also, the outfits were fitting (especially in Anderson's case. Hot damn.), even if they weren't the same as the comic book ones. At first the lack of goofy gold chains disappointed me, but then I was like f*ck it.
I was also pleased with the amount of one-liners. They were funny, to the point, and not cheesy. The Stallone one was just cheesy. It's even more cheesy now that this movie is out.
After seeing the movie, we all sat and played the Judge Dredd board game, compliments of PCEFX's PawnBroker, ProfessorProfessorson.
Arkhan, stop trying to scare people away from this movie by saying Total Recall was good, when it most certainly was average... at best.
The new Total Recall had a really cool Gibson-esque approach to the setting which was alot cooler than the cheesy original stuff, back when they didn't know any better.
