I give it a C.

I assumed it would have characteristics of Goodfella & Casino, but what's the beef with Bale about? I'm seeing it tomorrow.
It's hard to buy him as a fat schlub. he just looks like Christian Bale ate a lot of cheeseburgers and picked up a Brooklyn accent. Maybe it's just me, but he seems miscast.
Watched it. I don't know man. He was my favorite in the movie, and probably the only character who I gave a damn about. That's the only problem I had with this & The Fighter, I just didn't care about what happened to anybody. They're entertaining to watch though.

I tried. It was so awful I just ended up getting drunk and playing on the internet while my wife complained about how terrible it was.

It's a Disaster.

A spattering of really good scenes in a mostly personality-light work.

I don't think it's all that great, but it's better than Halloween 2 for pete's sake. And probably his last one, too, though I didn't see it.

Can you tell me the reasoning behind why Zombie's Michael Myers shared the same physique as WWE's Kane? It felt like a bit too much.

Cooper and Hudson were great, but I didn't really care what happened to anyone either. Bale and Adams' characters were confusing to me. One minute they were in love, the next minute not, evil geniuses one minute, dumb as a rock the next. I just stopped caring.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2013).

Pretty fun and well made...really gory too.
Spoiler: show
I loved this new take, loved the beginning with Bill Moseley, and the ending with the girl bonding with Leatherface. it felt like a new story instead of the same shit
