Rate The Last Movie You Watched - This Thread Took 12 Years To Make Edition - General

its an excellent ending just a really, really mediocre movie up until then

as mediocre a the movie is, it's not outright bad and the ending more than makes up for it. hollywood movies never end a movie that way. it's a real gem. even stephen king was like 'dang i wish i'd thought of that.'

[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;49424392]fury road felt like pure spectacle imo, not that there's anything totally wrong with that. not much in the way of dialogue or plot[/QUOTE] Wasn't suppose to have a lot of dialogue or heavy plot. The director wanted to make it where you can watch the entire film without any sound and still understand what's happening.

It didn't make me care enough.

[b]Black Mass[/b] Starring Johnny Depp as a living embodiment of uncanny valley. Sadly that's not enough because that film is the same gangster film that Martin Scorsese did 25 years ago. It tries to be both Goodfellas and The Departed at the same time and it comes out just boring.

hateful eight (on a normal projector, the 2hr 47min version) 10outta10 Not Quentins best work but pretty awesome

[QUOTE=mark6789;49424323]Tom Hardy was like a caveman in Mad Max. Only complaint[/QUOTE] Well, the idea was that Max had gone kind of crazy and feral from being alone for so long - when we first see him he's let his hair and beard grow way out, is biting the heads off animals, and suffering from constant hallucinations. Even when he first encounters Furiosa and the wives he's barely speaking, more gesturing, grunting, and fighting. But as the movie goes along further - and people keep talking to him and treating him like a person rather than a bag of blood - he becomes more canny and vocal.

His first and second-to-last confrontations with Furiosa are like night and day.

I guess I'm the only who thinks The Mist is a great movie.

[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;49427351]I guess I'm the only who thinks The Mist is a great movie.[/QUOTE] i enjoyed it it's darabont, the one director who can competently translate king's work to screen (even king can't do it as good himself, see maximum overdrive for example), the film has a great cast (thomas jane, carol, andrea and dale from the walking dead, starkiller lol), and the premise is more original than most of the shlock from 2007. as stated before, the ending is fantastic too, and better than the book's ending imo. for a considerably low budget film it blows some AAA shit out of the water.

Maximum Overdrive is great for another reason.

[QUOTE=Pops;49427487](even king can't do it as good himself, see maximum overdrive for example)[/QUOTE] In his defense, King was balls deep in cocaine during the entire making of it.

[b]Big Short[/b] It's literally [I]Wolf of the Wall Street[/I] without the quaaludes and fucking but with more economy. And I mean that as a compliment. This is a very intelligent film that treats the delicate matter in a watchable way. There's only one issue. [B]I couldn't fucking understand a thing[/B]. Economy is complicated and a movie unveiling one of the biggest financial crises in the history has no right to be different. The director is aware of this and explains the most difficult cases in a funny and unexpected way breaking the fourth wall ([sp]I fucking lost my shit at "Now here's Margot Robbie in a bathtub to explain that", so unexpected[/sp]). But the rest is still a gibberish. That doesn't take away from the very clear message - banks and the people running them fucked up, some people saw this, nobody listened to them, everybody* lost. The situation is bad and be careful it might happen again. I'm pretty sure someone who understands the technical background will find it to be a brilliant film. Or maybe I'm stupid and just need to see it few times to get it all, but anyway I respect the effort and final result. And soundtrack was fucking A.

Just cuz it's the movie thread, the humble weekly bundle is a bunch of Rifftrax: [url]https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly[/url] Haven't seen all of them on there but the live versions of Manos and Sharknado alone makes it worth the $12 imo. Haven't seen Mario Bros since I was a kid, and even then I remember it being an awful movie, so I'm looking forward to their riff of it.

The Hateful 8 - Traditional Tarantino, so a great film, but it doesn't explore anything he hasn't already. Absolutely great soundtrack due to Morricone (as expected). Also I'm pretty sure I saw the general release, but how do you tell?

the hateful eight 70mm really fucking good. great soundtrack, ultra panavision 70mm definitely isn't wasted here. really beautiful shots. great dialogue and classic tarantino violence. i was smiling the whole way through. [sp]i really enjoyed the part when jackson was taunting the general by talking about how he killed his son after making him walk through the snow naked for a few hours and then forcing him to suck his dick. it was too good and man setting up the game of whodunnit for the audience and revealing that everyone was in on it. i genuinely thought the sheriff was working with the girl and just timed his coffee drink perfectly to erase suspicion on him[/sp]

[QUOTE=Rusty100;49423336]whoa get a load of this post [editline]31st December 2015[/editline] its the wrongest post in the entire threads history so far[/QUOTE] New candidate: [QUOTE=Rusty100;49424398]once again, lotr fails in almost any measurable way. it looks cheap and like shit, the dialogue is incredibly hammy and bad, the acting is just as hammy, the story is insanely uninteresting, the fight scenes are wooden and robotic, the cinematography is heaps of shot reverse shot with the occasional panning overhead landscape sprinkled in, and it all has a weird bloom effect that's hard to look at. theres literally nothing good about these movies, they are a disaster, but people will eat it up because its all magical and fantasy and shit and literally cannot look at them objectively.[/QUOTE]

[b]Carol[/b] Sweet and adorable. I can see it in a director's head going like: [quote]- Let's do a lesbian drama with Audrey Hepburn. - Bur sir, she's dead since 1993. - Fuck it, we'll take Rooney Mara and make her look like Hepburn[/quote] Sometimes the resemblance is really uncanny, especially when they shoot her from the profile. But she's really good, although Mara's acting is some sort of acquired taste.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/PDGbJOc.jpg[/img] Memories of Murder 10/10, damn good movie. I should watch more Korean cinema. [editline]1st January 2016[/editline] One of the reasons the movie is so good, explained here. [hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4seDVfgwOg[/hd]

Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I think on it's own it was a good movie, albeit with some flaws. But in the greater context of the Star Wars universe I can't help but feel it was pretty overhyped. Things that annoyed me: [sp]Rey was a Mary Sue. This has been raised elsewhere on the internet and I think it's true. Her only real flaw was wanting to go back to Jakku for half the movie, and pulling out the wrong circuit breaker that let those monsters loose on Han's ship was her only real fuck-up.[/sp] [sp]I don't understand how Finn being in the sanitation dept. was supposed to work. Was he a guard?[/sp] [sp]A super-duper Death Star? Really? They couldn't come up with something more orignal?[/sp] [sp]Speaking of lack of originality, I feel like the whole movie was just a rehash of bits of the original trilogy. I know much of it was supposed to be tapping into viewers' nostalgia for the movies, but it was a bit much.[/sp] Despite these things, I enjoyed the movie overall. My favourite part was when [sp]Rey made the instant bun thing out of the powder she poured into the bowl.[/sp]

memories of murder is so fucking good, every time i see someone get dropkicked i instantly think of the one detective

Good Will Hunting: I've watched this movie 6 or 7 times now and it never fails to hit me right in the chest. One of my all-time favourites. I go a year or two between watches and each time I pick up something new I missed, and it's just heartwrenching. I know Matt Damon get's a lot of flak, but I personally think he's an amazing actor, and paired with Robin Williams, their chemistry is phenomenal. I know loads of people have seen the movie, but if it's been a while since you last watched it, go watch it now.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;49434949]You really care enough about this minuscule fact that this annoys you?[/QUOTE] Yeah, especially when people have said before it's usual military practice to have soldiers specialize in something mundane to help run camps and stuff. So it isn't that big a stretch for [sp]Finn to have been working sanitation on the super-duper-Deathstar[/sp]

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;49435009]I just don't understand why it's a problem[/QUOTE] it's realistic, too. finn was obviously a low-ranking stormtrooper, no higher than the star wars equivalent of a pfc (perfect for cleaning).
