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

[QUOTE=AK'z;48521354]what made you want to watch that film? only reason i want to see it is because the director is a genius.[/QUOTE] group decision by majority rule, and it was on demand i can't say i was too focused on the directing, though the actors are properly british, i suppose, and the cinematography was often beautiful, so there's that

Once again, I watched a film recommended by a Facepuncher not too long ago who said it was "an underrated science-fiction film". [B]Coherence[/B] (James Ward Byrkit, 2013) [B]8/10[/B] A real puzzle of a film. This director knows how to get the people's attention with mundane scenes. It starts slow but not too slow, and then it gradually becomes more and more tense, intriguing, fascinating. It doesn't overdo it, it doesn't go for too long, it basically does everything right. Yet I still wish I would have seen more. But I don't know if it would have really made anything better.

v/h/s 2: 7/10 best of the three films by a long shot. While I only enjoyed maybe 2 segments out of the other 2 films, I only outright hated one segment in this one (phase 1 clinical trials) and thought another was mediocre at it's worst (tape 49). The rest of them were pretty damn good, though.

[QUOTE=megafat;48521704]Did you watch the Theatrical Version or the Director's Cut? The Director's Cut makes a great movie fantastic.[/QUOTE] I'm not entirely sure. What are the differences?

[QUOTE=matt000024;48524588]I'm not entirely sure. What are the differences?[/QUOTE] there's quite a few differences I recall, but after hearing Ebert do commentary you can really see how much gr8 detail the director put into the film... amazing.

After one watch of whatever cut I saw I can say it is truly a shame the movie doesn't get more attention. It was just so fucking great and the setting it captured was perfect and so disorienting.

Absolutely Anything One of the most painfully unfunny movies I have ever seen. I would say every joke fell flat but I'm not sure there even were any. There wasn't a single redeeming quality to it.

The Thirteenth Floor - The plot and dialogue at times seemed a tiny bit cheesy and flawed. A lot of the plot points were also sort of predictable. The movie did though create an interesting view on the meaning of humanity and I'd say it was an enjoyable watch. I'd give it an overall positive rating despite the flaws it had. Had some great settings.

Back to the Future 4/5 For some reason, I never got around to seeing this movie, though I had seen the first half of Part II and all of Part III beforehand. This one blew both of them out of the water. Fox and Lloyd were great and the whole movie was fun. Special kudos to the editor. The pacing on the final set piece was brilliant.

Throne of Blood - 8/10 this is one of the few period piece Kurosawa films I hadn't seen, and I knew it was basically a Japanese variation of Macbeth, so I knew the plot. Still very good, the cinematography is typical Kurosawa and the final scene is incredibly well done

Since the new hitman movie came out I decided to watch the first attempt because I never saw it before. (not sure if I go see the new one) So [B] Hitman[/B] It's pretty shit. I admit there are couple of clever nods to the game and the movie is pretty bloody with some nudity, too. Unfortunately they completely warp the lore into something that's just stupid and silly. The plot is a mess and the acting... Ugh. After watching it I can't believe people say the new one is even worse.

[QUOTE=cricket50;48500858]check out ghost protocol, its fantastic[/QUOTE] I did, and holy shit that sucked ass. How can you say it's "fantastic" ? The very opening scene alone left me wondering if I should just quit immediately. Agent good-guy jumping off a roof, killing a bunch of people, and is then killed in some classy way. "OoOoh, nice premise for the movie." Much of the dialogue felt literally like a video game, other times the whole thing just felt like a comedy, hard to be taken seriously. The intro credits with the burning fuse also revealed the entire movie like as if a trailer, like what the fuck? Also everything is highly predictable, like the public payphone opening into some special mission-objective-briefer. Some other gadgets they used were also retarded or too gimmicky to ever be utilized to any effect. I'd say about 5/10, made me laugh at some points, but more vomiting than laughing. Can't say I have high expectations for Rogue Nation but I can't imagine it being worse.

there's something wrong if you vomit when you should be laughing

What is wrong with you people

Capricorn One - A good movie and pretty unique one. I can't really think of any other film that covers the same topic it does. Only major complaint I have is [sp]I wish they would've defined better what happened to OJ Simpson and Sam Waterson's characters. Were they killed on site or kept alive or what?[/sp]

My friends and I made the mistake of watching Sinister 2 without looking up anything about it. We were originally going to watch Straight Out of Compton, but the tickets were sold out. Going in blind, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into and by the end of the movie we all were in pain from how horrible the movie was.

Barfly (1987) Hilarious, profound, and the perfect movie if you like getting drunk and reading Charles Bukowski 9.5/10

Jurassic World. It was good, I guess. It flowed well and it was a fun watch. But, I think as a sort of general catchall I'd have to say it had all the content but none of the [i]feeling[/i] of Jurassic Park. [sp]Right out of the gate one thing I wasn't really certain of was why the park even is allowed to exist after everything that happened in the other movies, since this is in fact a sequel and not a reboot. There's even remants of the old park on the island, and mention that Hammond's "dying wish" was for the park to be successful or something, despite him changing his mind about it in the old films. I can get over that though, it didn't bother me much at all. What did bother me a little bit is all the crazy future stuff like fucking dinosaur holograms and interactive holographic touchscreens and glass ball vehicles. Another thing was that the character deaths really had no rhyme or reason, which doesn't sound like an issue until you really look at how the old Jurassic films handled it. Nine times out of ten it was a bad guy or an otherwise unlikable character that was killed, and usually in a simple, sometimes funny, but always satisfying way. In the polor opposite of the old films, Jurassic World's most exaggerated and over the top death was of a completely innocent woman who aunt whatsherface charged with watching the kids while she worked. They killed her off in a manner that by all means should have been reserved for the "bad guy" of the movie who, by the way was killed off by a raptor biting his hand and then the camera cutting away to a blood splatter on a wall. As for the nanny lady, they had a pteranodon pick her up and drop her mid flight only for another pteranodon to grab her from the air, fly her over the lake and drop her into the water, wherein 3 more pteranodon dove in and fought to catch her as she screams in terror, after being grabbed and dropped, poked and prodded, pulled from the water, held under the water, and so on and so forth she is finally picked up by one of them who breaks the surface and begins to fly away with her only for the mosasaurus that inhabits the lake to jump from the water and eat them both. [b]Why?[/b] Why was this character specifically killed in such a ridiculous way and the bad guy of the film got such a small send off? Any wow factor the death sequence really had is negated by the fact that it's not a character that you really wanted to be eaten. They also suddenly and for no real reason kill off the owner of the park in a helicopter crash. For the next subject, I thought the whole training the raptors thing was going to be cheesy, but I was actually pretty pleasantly surprised in the first sequence with how it's shown that they only listen to him to a degree but would still eat the shit out of him given the chance... However, then in the later half of the movie that aspect is completely thrown out the window and they just let them all loose and they ride motercycles and atvs with them and the raptors don't even pay attention to them until it's revealed that the indominus rex, are you ready for this bombshell? It's part velociraptor! Woah man it's not like anybody could've guessed that! So, anyway, it's revealed that it's part raptor becuase they do some whooping cough barks at eachother and then all of the raptors go turncoat and murder all of the soldier dudes that were there to kill the indominus. So, a little while later the raptors catch up to Chris Pratt and the Brat Pack and he rekindles their relationship, leading them to go all triple agent and fight the indominus after all, who promptly whoops all their butts. As a last resort aunt perkytits asks socially awkward tech guy back in the control room to open paddock 9. Whoa what could possibly in there?! So, she draws the T-Rex out of the enclosure with a flare (which is what they use to signal it for food as revealed earlier in the movie) and proceeds to summon the power of every hooker around the world to outrun it in heels, she then throws the flare at the indominus, starting the heavy weight championship fight everybody's been waiting for. It gets its ass kicked like, pretty much instantly. But oh, what's this? Just as the indominus is about ready to finish of el classico, who comes to save the day but Blue! Pratt's favoritest raptor of the bunch! And this is where the film goes full-on off the rails super cheeseball city. The raptor jumps the indominus and there's a short scuffle between the two and then out of nowhere wham pow boom here comes Mr. T-fuckyoursisterintheass-Rex with the second wind of the decade and it and blue proceed tag team the shit out of the indominus. There's literally a part where Blue fucking [i]rides on top of the fucking t-rex's head[i] I can't even make this shit up. So, the fight ends up by the battered gate surrounding the mosasaurus enclosure where the gruesome twosome becomes the triple threat when to the surprise of no one, the mosasaur jumps from the water and drags whitey to the briney depths. After this, I shit you not, the fucking T-Rex and raptor have like an action movie dudebro "newfound respect in one another" stare moment in the road, at which point the T-Rex nods to the raptor, puts on its figurative sunglasses and saunters off into the night. Blue looks back and Prat in a "did I do good daddy" manner at which point he shakes his head no for some reason and it runs away.[/sp] So yeah, again, it was a fun watch, even if it got super campy at times. It definitely stuffed a bunch of dinosaurs in there for good measure, but it really didn't capture the [i]feel[/i] of Jurrassic Park at all. I mean, I honestly thought it was going to be terrible. I had basically no faith in this movie at all. I actually liked it, and that's good enough for me. It's like 3 am so ignore all the spelling errors and stuff, not even going to bother fixing all that. Also, since I basically talked about all of the "big" moments of the movie, I went ahead and spoilered like the whole thing.

[QUOTE=mikeyt493;48536581]Idk what this movie is so I'm struggling to tell if you're pitching this to people who actually enjoy bukowski or just enjoy getting drunk and making fun of his stupid bullshit[/QUOTE] Man, I don't even know what you're talking about

[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;48535092]there's something wrong if you vomit when you should be laughing[/QUOTE] I may have found some bits of the movie genuinely funny, like Tom Cruise's expression on his face when it was revealed that the secret file contained.. [sp]"The Russian Nuclear Launch Codes."[/sp] The expression on his face could only be read as "I'm tired for this shit." I found some single NIPs that were either killed or knocked out in cool fashion as well, out of otherwise shitty "action" scenes. Other than yes, I found myself mostly vomiting throughout the movie. Or some other word that accurately describes your feelings, like getting saw blades hurled to your face. Also, when the scene began with Cruisde and Simon Pegg disguised as senior Russian commander-officials, as they were infiltrating [sp]Kremlin[/sp], the first thing I asked myself is "Let's see how useless the ensuing dialogue is going to be" And yes, as you all know, they might as well have not talked to each other at all. It must be a comedy, one that cost [I]well over $100 million[/I] to produce..

Non-Important Persons, like any enemy. [editline]25th August 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Demeschik;48534758]it's worse. and they still do the opening thing too[/QUOTE] Also god damn it, seriously?

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;48537012]Non-Important Persons, like any enemy. [editline]25th August 2015[/editline] Also god damn it, seriously?[/QUOTE] Yep. I actually enjoyed Ghost Protocol a lot, especially it's portrayal of russians. It's one of the rare movies that doesn't fuck it up. In Rogue Nation, you get a lame "is she with them or against them????" character, Jeremy Renner and Ving Rhames barely do anything, and Benji is actually sort of grating. The more I think about it, the less I like it. And the stunts sucked.

Yeah I noticed some decent portrayal of Russians too actually, even waitresses and some other side/minor roles that still actually spoke something. Little fleeing but enjoyable moments in the movie. But man, I just couldn't take it seriously, also slightly propagandist. However there was a bonus point to this movie: Samuli Edelmann (finnish actor) whoo!
