Minority Report + impressions

It wasnt a hotel, it was never stated it was a hotel. John looked at the TENANTS list to and saw LEO CROW name, why would hotel have names of its guests posted in the lobby? So the cops KNEW where the murder will take place but DIDNT BOTHER to even go there prior to the events. Its DOESNT MAKE SENSE. Why in many other pre-crime cases they arrest criminals before the murder takes place, but AT the scene of murder, and here they just keep chasing John all over the city, but never care to go to ONLY place where the actual murder WILL take place. Sounds too UNBELIVABLE to me, and totally like a script gimmick . They EVEN only show up at the murder scene WAY after the murder does take place, and only because the other tenants called them in.

yeah, the movie never stated that the building was a hotel, but from the layout of the room, it looked like a hotel to me. the list at the front desk could be a check-in list. some hotels have that.

but like i posted before, the cops knew where the murder will take place, but they did not think that john would still go there since he was being chased. when they did figure out that john still intended to go there, they then began to look for the place.

I expect all Feds to carry guns, epecially Danny(or whatever his name was) character, but they didnt. They knew they were going against dangerous opponent, but none of them did have fire arms, and that doesnt sound right. Plus, they are from the different law division, so they dont follow the rules that cops do. It still proves my theory that its only a script requirement that John is ONLY person with the gun.

the feds did carry their own special weapons: the fancy gun thing that distorts space when it hits something, and has to be spun to reload. the precrime cops, on the other hand, had those tazer things. john's gun probably came from his job before precrime as a regular cop. they let him wield it because he's the chief.

Be back with more thoughts later. Its good to see you guys seem to enjoyed this film, but for me more I think about, less I like it But it just me, I can be very critical of the things I dont like, and unfortunately, or not I didnt like MR

despair, i think you think way too much about the movies you watch. i remember you had all these little nitpicking details about spiderman. sometimes, you should just forget about unexplained stuff in the movie so you can just enjoy the story. it's like watching "the killer" and asking "in the final showdown between chow yun fat and the final bad guy, how is it possible for chow yun fat to get hit exactly in the eyes and nowhere else on his body, when both of them were shooting wildly and blindly?"

One more thing:

When John breaks into the Temple to get Agatha, he drops his eye balls and chases them while they are rolling downhill. He catches one at the last moment and uses it to get into the Temple.

Later, When he is arrested and his wife comes to free him from the prison, she has a bag with BOTH of his old eyes !!!!

i thought/remembered her having only one of the eyes. if it was two eyes, then it's a continuity error.

And last thing:

When he is surrounded by the spiders in the bathroom, he has to lift the bandges and let them scan one eye - At that time the 12 hours didnt pass yet, and robots using bright laser beams to scan the retinas - Wouldnt it leave him one eye blind ???

i thought the 12 hours was up just in time. if not, then it's a movie goof.

Well, Its true that I think and analyze some movies too much, but its usually happen when I get somewhat bored with the film If the movie is fun, and keeps me interested (like above mentioned The Killer example) I will not think about nitpicking it at all

[Will]

The DVD will be out the 17th in Blockbuster but I think it's out now. I loved the movie and I'm enjoying the game right now, I think you guys would like it.

Well, I might rent the game. At least it will be more action packed than the movie
