Great comparison with X-Men. The ending was crazy. My only complaint was that most of the early half of the film was shot with the one guys camera, and then at the end it appeared to be shot with multiple ones. I didn't like the sudden change. Plus its hard to believe all that could be going on and they still have his camera catching it all. Otherwise, I enjoyed the movie!HorrOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384229602693596518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902350714271321235.post-42327299162147519302012-02-17T11:29:27.337-08:002012-02-17T11:29:27.337-08:00Craig, thanks a lot, mate :)

There are some top-notch special effects and stupendous action scenes that deserve to be seen on the big screen. :) I'd love to see other genre filmed in FF style. A martial arts film would be great! "Catfish" was a drama/mystery shot in this style and it worked quite well.George Beremov [Nebular]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15136154142341512854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902350714271321235.post-26911292356101478192012-02-15T19:12:36.524-08:002012-02-15T19:12:36.524-08:00I like a good found footage movie, and I'm ple...I like a good found footage movie, and I'm pleased to see expansion into other genres than horror. I'm looking forward to a comedy, or maybe a martial arts found footage flick. Chronicle sounds like something I'll check out on video, since the presentation of FF movies is automatically degraded in quality.

The story is not your typical teen superhero tries to save the world, but shows the dark side of possessing superpowers... because 'they' gave it to the wrong man. LOL.<br />I agree though, it would have been nice to see girls with superpowers for a change, but on the other hand, girls are too reasonable to blow things up, hence, the movie won't be as spectacular to watch.
