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

zero dark thirty was such a pile of shit im conflicted about hurt locker. for every good thing it has, it has one equally awful thing. i understand why it got the praise it did from critics but on the other hand zdt was insulting

Fucking Amal - 8/10 Ahhhhhh, this was just excellent. Disguised as an LGBT teen film, really an exploration of teen angst and how it's irrational and juvenile, but also how it felt real and important when you were also a teenager. As someone who's gay himself, this is the kind of LGBT film I'm looking for - one that treats its characters as people, not just a personified sexuality [editline]26th January 2016[/editline] the more that I'm thinking about this the more I'm sure it's a 9/10. This was REALLY good, folks

does anyone else find rotten tomatoes' "u should watch" rating to be a completely unusable metric?

It also talks in large part about the aftermath, but the build-up to the apocalypse is quite terrifying.

Threads is the quintessential post-nuclear war film

watched the Shining with like 6 other people last night, it was fucking amazing for some reason the most unsettling thing in the whole movie was [sp]the guy in the animal suit blowing that guy in the suit, i dont know why it was so unsettling but it was[/sp]

After I watched it my Dad spent a week banging on my door when he knew I was trying to sleep. Bastard.

The Circle: 6/10 A premise that isn't entirely unique, and I wish they went a different direction with it by the end, but a fun little watch. Psycho: 9.5/10 Easily my favorite Hitchcock Watch it Frankenstein (1931) 8/10 Super digestible and a great, classic story. I honestly wish it was longer, it is hurt by it's runtime.

Watched Ghost in the Shell for the first time yesterday. Kind of confusing, but I still enjoyed it a lot. Probably the first time an anime really hooked me in since Cowboy Bebop. 8/10

[QUOTE=Scot;49610213]It's just a not as good Threads.[/QUOTE] Yeah but The Day After has Steve Guttenberg. You can't beat that.

snowpiercer it's alright plenty of flaws but it's creative enough and fairly enjoyable

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;49612076]Watched Ghost in the Shell for the first time yesterday. Kind of confusing, but I still enjoyed it a lot. Probably the first time an anime really hooked me in since Cowboy Bebop. 8/10[/QUOTE] now watch Angel's Egg

Zodiac Tied with Se7en as my favorite Fincher movie. Perfectly paced, incredibly intense, wonderfully acted. The only real issues I have are personal frustrations with the ending (which the movie cannot control, as it is a true story) and some occasionally mediocre CGI. I'll never get tired of this movie.

[B]Legend[/B] 6/10 Can't say Tom Hardy didn't do a good job, but this is a case of great performances and an utterly mediocre film. True story or not, it feels very familiar and doesn't bring anything new to the table, especially with regards to the love story which the film focuses on waaaaaaaay too much. It's the usual girl and gangster relationship, and you know how it starts and how it's going to end. It lacks memorable moments and a certain flare or anything special. It's just ok. If you're really hungry for a mobster movie it's 'aight. (slightly better than black mass if you ask me)

I'm going to be honest, I feel kind of let down by No Country For Old Men. Sure, it was a gorgeous and intense movie, but I feel kind of pissed at the ending. It didn't feel impactful at all, it felt like nothing really happened. That could be the whole point, but I still wasn't all that impressed. Maybe its just a Coen brothers thing. I wasn't a huge fan of either Big Lebowski or Fargo, I thought they were just pretty good while everyone else thinks they're amazing.

I actually am considering watching that again, I feel like I wasn't able to take everything in.

Event Horizon - tbh I don't get why people act like it is such a bad movie. Yeah it is flawed and the CGI looks really outdated in parts, but overall it serves as a rather solid scifi horror film that in ways pays homage to a lot of other films in the genre. Also I'm a sucker for [sp]films that open doors to hell[/sp] and films that break the trope of [sp]only one person surviving.[/sp] [editline]26th January 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Zukriuchen;49612267]snowpiercer it's alright plenty of flaws but it's creative enough and fairly enjoyable[/QUOTE] Really? I loved Snowpiercer and thought it was one of the freshest scifi films I've seen in awhile.

i don't think anyone here thinks event horizon is a bad movie. hell, even rusty enjoys it.

[B]The Revenant[/B] This movie was fucking amazing. Pure visual porn, the music was perfect and the acting was top-notch. It was everything I had expected and hoped for and then gave me more on top of it. The [I]only[/I] thing that irked me (and this is in no way relevant to anything nor did it affect my opinion of the movie) was that [sp]Glass built the fish trap backward on the river. The opening of the "U" should be facing upstream so fish have more difficulty swimming out against the current[/sp] but it's really not that important in any shape form or way. I'm going to see this again, I don't know when but I'm certain I will.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;49615486]I do[/QUOTE] well then, you're no fun.

[QUOTE=Scot;49606240]The 5th Wave It was very disappointing. Not because I hoped it would be good, but because I hoped it would be terrible. Instead of being a laugh it was instead a snooze; extremely safe and boring with possibly the most predictable plot I've ever seen and zero originality. Don't waste your time or money on it, not that I was expecting many of you to.[/QUOTE] Well, when a film manages to dissapoint even if you expect it to be terrible, that speaks for itself. Still, watching it in a good company can give you some funny moments (this actually applies to any bad movie). Watching it alone would probably be the most boring thing ever though.

[QUOTE=Pops;49614883]i don't think anyone here thinks event horizon is a bad movie. hell, even rusty enjoys it.[/QUOTE] It has a lot going for it. I know that the original cut of the film exists out there and I'd like to see it even if it's not a HD remaster.

Tropic Thunder - 8/10 please do not mess up zoolander 2 ben

The resolve is just never what i expected, [sp]e.g. some kind of shootout[/sp], but what they do is twist the movie into a totally different kind of path. It needs a good think but imo well worth the wait.
