i choose Rounders. It got me to start playing. Does anyone else have a favorite poker movie
what is that,"rounders"? a movie...?
what is that,"rounders"? a movie...?
. One of the best lines aobut poker ever uttered is said in this movie.
.
this thread inspired me to watch Rounders again this evening, and while I agree with the poker info within it, for the first time I realized that, as a movie, it really isn't good. There are a lot of things that don't make sense to me.
1. His girlfriend is such a bitch. I never bought their relationship. Why would his character be with her? Stupid.
love is a funny thing my friend!
2. He continually supports his friend Worm throughout the movie even after getting screwed over again and again, and again. Why would he do that? Stupid.
because he owed him alot since worm took the fall for all of them
3. The professor would never give out 10 grand like that. I don't care how much he knows Mike as a student, it just doesn't happen. Stupid.
Mike reminded him of himself when he was young, while I agree 10k was over the limit without that 10k the ending would of been like, Mike gets beat up movie over.
4. The music is way overdone and obvious.
didnt notice
5. It's never explained what happens to Worm. Stupid.
dosent matter
6. It hints at an attraction between Mike and Petra but never goes anywhere with it. Why not? Stupid.
what the heck, who cares if they hook up or not.
7. After he busts Teddy in the final scene, Grama gets all pissed off and throws chairs and such. This doesn't make sense. He got his money. Why is he pissed off? Stupid.
because he is muscle he likes beating people up.
Little plot holes like these add up and take me out of the movie.
I'm so sorry for overanalyzing.
I disagree that it's a "great movie"...it would be saying something like..."Pretty Woman" or "Top Gun" is a really great movie. It may be a good/ok movie, and one of the best poker movies ever made....but I wouldn't consider it great by any means.rounders is a great movie...and really the only one i know of that has to do w/ the game of poker
