After watching the incredible awful movie And Then Came Lola, I finally had to check out Run Lola Run (or Lola Rennt as it was originally named in German). It's easy to understand why I've seen several recommend people stay away from the first mentioned, and rather watch this movie from 12 years ago. Tom Tykwer's is no doubt robbed for creative mention in And Then Came Lola, as this original pretty much is the blue print.
The difference is here the time is off an essence because of a life ending threat, Franka Potente as the heroine is a lot more interesting, intriguing, believable and in touch than the new heroine, the soundtrack is techno, very punk-ish as our heroine's red flaming hair and in sync with the action on screen.
There's also here several annoying focus mishaps in both the script and the storyline, and there's some boring intermediate mushy-scenes that doesn't really work with the characters, there's the aspects of stories changing from effort to effort and a couple of other minor problems.
I enjoy the pace, the idea was probably very original as well back then and I really like Potente's 'Lola'. Still I wouldn't bother watching it again, and then there's just a little too much annoying me about it.
