I found it enjoyable, although my copy started screwing up towards the end, with missing frames.

i actually thought they did a really good job considering it was basically a guy in a phonebooth for 90 minutes

of course you could give me footage of colin farrell clipping his toenails for 90 mins and i'd still be enthralled

Yeah, I didnt think it was crap. Simple idea, well executed. Couldn't expect much more really.

I liked it. It was well done the way it was all structured and was different to most hollywood films since it only involved 1 block in environment and didn't go for 108 minutes like nearly every other movie, they didn't stretch it out to fit the quota.

All filmed in only 28 days too.
you are a moron on so many levels. firstly, phone booth was shot in more like 10 days. secondly, 28 days is not impressive anyway. your average hollywood film is shot in 4-6 weeks. it shits me to tears when idiots like you quote how many days it took to shoot a movie, like it actually means something. IT DOESN'T! IT MEANS FUCKING DICK

this type of movie where i would find it painful to watch again. you already know what's gonna happen and it's just basically all talk and little action.

lol you are a fucking idiot......the matrix reloaded took like 300 days to shoot. most hollywood blockbusters take more than 4-6 weeks to shoot. anyway, the matrix is on a totally different scale compared to phone booth. it obviously shows that the length of making of a film means something.

you should also take into account the different settings, stunts, special effects, actions scenes, etc involved. it is not surprising that Phone Booth took a short time to film since it was mainly based around a phone booth.

i personally didnt really like it like sitting there watching a guy in a phone booth for 90 min but it did have some good points to it.
