November 18, 201213 yr Member Preview looked so good, and I really can't wait for this one! Not sure about Emma Stone, but we'll see! Josh Brolin and Sean Penn? SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
January 14, 201313 yr Author Member I think some of the money used to make this movie should have been spent on SUBSTANCE! Great idea but novice follow thru. At least Josh Brolin is still hot as hell! Emma Stone didn't belong anywhere near this movie unless she was an extra! Another actress who's agent should be paid more than the client! I'm tired of her, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain popping up in every [!@#$%^&*] movie!
January 15, 201313 yr Author Member Soap, no! Just no! ES is another overrated hack, and she was all wrong for this role. If you saw the movie, you would see how useless the character was, and how, if written better, Emma should not have been Grace.
January 15, 201313 yr Member I haven't seen it yet but I plan to. Did you see The Help? Spiderman? Easy A? She was amazing!
January 15, 201313 yr Author Member I saw The Help and Easy A. Loved Help really liked Easy A, but I hardly think there is anything amazing about ES. Gangster Squad is a good shoot em up movie, but they wasted what Sean Penn did in the movie. The whole thing is so forgettable. Anthony Mackie was good, but the only thing I really loved about the character was how quick he was with a knife.
January 15, 201313 yr Author Member I like Ryan Gosling, but decided to wait until this comes out on DVD. Try to catch it at Redbox or the equivalent for a $1.

Sounds exactly what I expected it to be (which is why I'm not surprised that it got pushed back). I'll still check it out on cable, though, as I'm a sucker for lavish costume design.

Emma Stone is Lindsay Lohan without the baggage - down to the red hair and raspy voice.

January 15, 201313 yr Member I'm interested in this movie because they edited it after it was completed to delete scenes of a shoot out in a theater to be sensitive to the massacre victims and because Ryan is such a hottie. However I'm wondering what type of relationship he and Emma has on the side since they always end up in the same movies together.

Seriously, Sean as Mickey Cohen was great, but they never took time to develop the plot. Mickey was bad or so we were told, but they didn't give us a reason to hate him or even justify why The Squad would go after him. It was told to the audience, which was hardly good enough. The worse he did was kill another gangster at the beginning of the movie. So you have to think to yourself, does anyone care if a Blood or Crip kill one another? Nope! Seriously lacking. Thank god I caught the matinee!
