    The whole plot of Kill Bill Volume 1 was to kill two people and it's so good it gives me sparkly eyes.

    That's my problem with the prequel trilogy the dialogue...the bad acting can be over looked if the script is well written.
    None of that has anything to do with plot, it has to do with acting, writing, and the bad direction that a movie takes.

    Just because there aren't any epic 'scenes' in no way can say that the plot of a movie isn't epic. Dialog, filming, camera angles… none of that has anything to do with plot. Sure, they can make the delivery of a plot bad, but saying that the plot itself was bad due to these flaws in presentation makes you look like you know little about movies.
    Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?

    I sorta liked 300... reason being is that it had a story and really pretty visuals and action choreography/soundtrack...

    I didn't love it though, I feel a big need for character development...

    Indeed. And if you've got a hardon for plots, there was a little bit in the second one. Also no sword deaths in the second one. The five-point-palm death at the end was a nice twist that filled in a blank or two about Bea's awesomeness.

    300 did have a bit of a thin plot but everyone still loved it. The funniest thing, though, is the amount of testosterone fuelled guys going to see it and coming back more testosterone fuelled, only to later discover that the actual Spartans of ancient Greece were mostly bisexual and totally hot for each other. Already knowing this, I regarded 300 as the ultimate Bi Pride movie.

    Amen.


    Yeah I like movies with thins plots, at least if you watch my DVD shelf.
    Prequel Star Wars were all good, well second one was bit lame. I actually hate some movies which try to have too complicated plot when much more simpler would fit better, good example is Pirates of Caribbean 3. I disliked that movie first time when I saw it because it was trying to be too cool, luckily second time I watched it, it wasnīt so bad.

    And yeah for movies plot ainīt most important aspect unlike in books. I bought Transformers-movie mostly because that one woman is so hot. It is OK movie but that Megan Fox ( now I checked it finally, didnīt know her name ) is really pleasure for eyes.

    No, but I (usually) don't like things that are too complex either, I'm not very bright and can't keep up with things.

    And on the rare occasion I do, nobody else gets it. I'm a very backwards person. I prefer to stick to comedy and get laughs out of it, the plot usually isn't too deep in those.

    I think you're throwing around the words 'paper-thin' without actually knowing what they mean. You can argue that Spider Man and Star Wars I-III were bad movies but their plots were anything but paper thin. Poor execution of a movie does not equal paper thin plot.

    I can forgive thin plots if the movie is made with style and energy.

    I don't care about the plot if I know I'm not going into the film for it. So things like pron or mindless action/gore movies can be enjoyable to me.

    I don't understand the term "paper-thin plot". Can someone explain it to me?

    I take it to mean a shallow plot that over-relies on cliches and the characters are portrayed as types instead of individuals.

    My childhood was made by kung fu movies with shocking english dubs and virtually no plot, so I totally love that <img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" />.
