agent 47 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I can see why he didn't care so much for it, it's certainly hard watching yourself whisper and mumble through a film because you're so hammered from the previous night's partying!

CarolineUK Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Colin Farrell: "The movie was horrible"Oh yes, he's finally admitted it. I bought the dvd for £3 & was annoyed I couldn't get a refund on it. It's such a pity it didn't live up to the original series because who knows what could have happened ... oh well. At least there are still plenty of us MV fans of the original series out there. But wouldn't it be wonderful to see DJ, PMT & co back together for one last film/episode or whatever?

croc1 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Ah yes, I feel much better now. Mr. Calderon-my thoughts exactly!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamidadevice Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Careful Tony a certain cam puller may appear with stinking horses. Anyway, I must admit you have brought me back from the dead with Colin's words. I have not seen the film, don't really want to. I would rather have see Bela Lugosi star in the film, oh wait he's not available. Ok, so I have been watching all of you for over 3 years and I am waiting for an Epiphany.Love To all,Mr. Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators timm525 Posted February 27, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Well, you would need to see it a few times to understand who is who. Horrible character development in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceguy Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yeah,Farrell is right on it!The movie is horrible,and in large part due to his acting.He can't even be compared with DJ.I got a feeling that even Elvis would be a better Crockett than Farrel was....

Pal Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yep, the movie was horrible and a terrible adaption of the TV show material. I think Colin Farrell was miscast but he's in no way responsible for the awfulness. That falls at the feet of Michael Mann - a guy that completely misunderstands the appeal of the original show.

Matt5 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Let's be fair Colin Farrell didnt say the movie was "horrible" if you read the text and his career if anything has been on the up since 2006 - "In Bruges " and the Golden Globe win in 2009 and starring with Jeff Bridges and Robert Duvall in "Crazy Heart" just out.MV 2006 was Michael Mann's arrogance at work - although a decent film it spared little or no thought for the Original Series or repsect come to that.

We did have some discussion then about who from the tv show should have played a part in the movie I remember, or how it should have looked like. Michael mann wanted to do it in a very different way obviously. And missed:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vice-girl Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 i liked the locations in the movie,but somehow it was just...awful?colin farrel wasnt really good as sonny,same for jamie foxx,is it a wonder for such wonderful originals,to find a good replacement ir really hard :rolleyes:love the heat movie from him,thats good the soundtrack also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonysmallz Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 i could watch this movie every day... its what michael mann does makes realistic serious non buddy buddy films and i happen to love that style.. the end bit when he lets gong li go on the boat and goes back to the hospital to see trudy and it abruptly ends with just the words Miami vice on the screen.. gets me pumped *pulles out miami vice blu ray*you can say films are crap but this is stylized to fit in with what mann wants.. and he doese not care about the money side of his films he makes them because he wants to and does it in his vision you have to respect that..just the way he produced the OG vice in the 80's i am a biased michael mann fan but fact still remains the shoot out was shot so well and felt very realistic.also my fave part is when they find out trudy has been kidnapped and c&t are on a go fast boat in complete silence just sinister music playing.. but on the other hand how is vice, vice without dj and pmt.....? with that argument i feel that the production was great and im glad they dident try to make a 80s throwback.. i think the original vice series should be left as is and michael seid that during production..

Pal Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I don't think I'm way off base, and I appreciate that Michael Mann really pushed the boundaries of television with the look of Miami Vice.The show was so stylish, so cool. The movie was dull and in places a little embarrassing. I think Mann was too concerned in distancing the movie from the TV show. No Elvis... no banter... no fun... not much in the way of musical montages. That's not Miami Vice.The guy completely misread what the audience EXPECTED from a Miami Vice movie. He tried really hard to make a 'gritty cop' movie, but the grittiness was just one element of the show. He missed out practically every other element that made Miami Vice, well... Miami Vice.I've seen the extended cut of the Miami Vice movie. In fact I own it on DVD and double dipped for the BD. There are sequences that I like in it. For example I think the club scenes toward the beginning of the movie are GREAT. They captured a modern Vice feel IMO. Unfortunately, the rest of the film doesn't fare as well.I appreciate that the movie had numerous production problems and maybe some of the blame is due to them. However, Mann was the director and should have made it work. Plus, I think the film has major problems from even a conceptual stand point.

Kavinsky Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I love Michale Mann for what he's done for MV the tv show, Heat and Collateral, but MV is where he shouldn't of played it safe with the usual stuff. Hell I think sort of a semi prequel mixed with the pilot would have been great there's lots of stuff he could have tapped into.How Crockett got switched over to vice, the change in his personality caused by being assigned to vice after being a robbery detective for so long.the story behind the Daytona's confiscation (I mean a porsche, fine but a super rare FERRARI DAYTONA SPYDER?! what did Crockett catch Tony Montana?) Evan back in the day.I'm not even scratching the surface here and I'm not even going into the visual stuff which I've already covered.

Pal Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I understand what Mann was trying to accomplish. I mean I think that's pretty clear onscreen.HOWEVER... why call it Miami Vice? It's so far removed from the vision of the original show that it's a whole new beast. Crockett doesn't act like Crockett, Castillo doesn't act like Castillo, Switek and Zito don't act like Switek and Zito... you catch my drift?I think the film would have fared better had it *NOT* be called Miami Vice or use any of the Miami Vice characters. The Vice movie felt more like a sequel of sorts to Collateral.Now, my point is, WHY call it Miami Vice when it contains so few of the shows original characteristics? The reason is simple - franchise recognition. The name Miami Vice was supposed to bring in people out of interest because they obviously associate it with the original show. Which means that Mann obviously does/did care about the movies success (or lack thereof).Did you know that before the films release, Universal where planning on turning it into a movie series? They where hoping for at least another two or three movies. However the film did not meet expectations either critically or commercially so the project was dumped. Not to mention that it was a terrible shoot, Jamie Foxx walked off set and refused to return to the location. Meaning that Mann had to use a different ending for the film than he originally intended.I actually wouldn't be surprised if the idea of a 'Miami Vice series' is rebooted in a few years with someone else other than Michael Mann at the helm.I'm glad you love the movie. Like I've said before, I can enjoy elements of it, so don't think I'm just some rabid hater. However I acknowledge that it's a deeply, deeply flawed piece of cinema.

Kavinsky Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I'm with pal here I agree completelymakes you wonder if a starsky and hutch like sort of before the show prequel is out of the questionFor me even if it wasnt really vice I have to thank Michale Mann for introducing me to the show if I hadn't seen that pilot I would have never found this place.
