Title: football factory
Post by: oxford_fan on Tuesday, January 11, 2005, 11:47:42
what did everyone think?

i thought it was alright, nowt special but entertaining nevertheless. glorified the whole thing a bit too much for my liking, though.

I haven't watched it because I'm pretty sure I won't like it.  In fact it's probably watchable, it's just the amount of people you hear yapping on about it.

Someone will tell us how good ID is in a minute :roll:

It's just like The Beach and Trainspotting.

You've got to read the book first, if you don't and you then read the book you just think of the characters as you saw them in the film. ie, Leonardo Di Caprio in the Beach. He wasn't even a yank in the book and it had a completely different ending.

The films are just a condensed version of the book made into screenplays that more often than not miss the whole fucking point.

Currently reading 'Congratulations, You've just met the ICF' - Thankfully I can't imagine we'll see a film version though.

Rant over. Carry on..

Bit like LOTR i thought. Books keep you in much better suspense in general.

Absolutely love Football Factory I'm afraid.  Not quite sure why, as it doesn't appear to the makings of a good film, but I found it thoroughly enjoyable and quite funny.  The storyline is a little thin, but then I think the enjoyment comes from the cathartic affect of kicking the shit out of people....  The end was quite sad though, I didn't like that as I had a strange liking for Zeberdee, though there is no way he looked 24!

I quite enjoyed it. Not seen ID though, only The Firm which was a bit poo despite Gary Oldman's best efforts.

P.S. Ze, I used Frank as my avatar for ages on another forum - safe as fuck.
