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

[b]Miracle Mile[/b] [b]The Wrestler[/b] [b]Office Space[/b] 9 outta 10 for all of them. Office Space was for the comic relief I desperately needed after the first two films. Seems like hardly anyone has ever heard of Miracle Mile or The Wrestler though, which is a real shame. They're both fantastic independent films.

John Wick - 9/10 Probably the best action movie I've seen in a while. That scene in the nightclub was fantastic.

Jurassic World really wasn't that bad.

I don't think we watched the same movie then.

[QUOTE=Scot;48574102]Jurassic World really wasn't that bad.[/QUOTE] It's meh. It's not bad, it's not very terrible. But it's very far from great or perfect.

I liked Jurrasic World it was good. Probably never see it again though. I think most people are just happy it wasn't as shitty as the sequels

jworld was a terrible joyless mess sorry

let me put it this way i enjoyed jp2 and 3 more than jw

1>3>W>2

[QUOTE=squids_eye;48573009][B]Interstellar - 6/10[/B] It was pretty good performance wise but the plot was kind of lame, even if you ignore the [sp]love is a physical force that we just can't comprehend[/sp] bullshit. The ending felt pretty weak and [sp]the two side characters who were obviously going to die were kind of pointless other than to add some drama with their inevitable deaths, especially the white guy, why didn't he just get back in the ship while the robot was fetching the woman?[/sp] It really says something about your film when the best non-central character is a black rectangle. Also did it bug anyone else that they were able to [sp]get in and out of orbit, several times, in those dinky little shuttles? Even on the wave planet with something like 1.5x earth's gravity. Was that explained and I missed it or is that just a case of flaccid sci-fi?[/sp] I enjoyed it quite a lot when I was watching it which is something I guess but the more I think of it the more problems I remember, if your going for hard sci-fi don't make [sp]love the answer[/sp] or [sp]turn the main character into a time travelling fifth dimensional space ghost who can poke gravity into the past for five minutes.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]When the ranger launched from earth it had a second ranger strapped to it's belly and a docking hub attached to it's rear. The Ranger can't tow things to orbit on its own so they used an ICBM rocket they had lying around[/sp]

[QUOTE=LSK;48573701]Seems like hardly anyone has ever heard of Miracle Mile or The Wrestler though, which is a real shame. They're both fantastic independent films.[/QUOTE] I haven't seen Miracle Mile but I absolutely loved The Wrestler, by far Aronofsky's best film

The Art of Happiness: 9/10 really sucks this flew under the radar. it's one the few films that actually motivates me to go ahead and do shit with my life.

[QUOTE=Pops;48574513]let me put it this way i enjoyed jp2 and 3 more than jw[/QUOTE] yeh. say what you want about 2 and 3, but they have the jurassic park vibe at least. world is just a big... weird thing, that doesn't much feel like anything. it doesn't feel like a real movie. it's just some big, engineered, vacuous studio monster. ironically like the dinosaur it features.

it felt like i was watching a movie trying to make facetious anti-corporate statements by plastering product placement everywhere (verizon monster, samsung innovation center, MERCEDES BENZ EVERYWHERE) except the movie itself felt extremely corporate hollywood-esque. the edgy geek dude with the original JP shirt and his girl coworker had absolutely no productive place in the plot (rofl really, he says at the end [sp]"i'll stay behind"[/sp]) and only existed to deliver really bad pop culture "jokes" the scenes with the raptors [sp]recognizing the raptor rex thing as alpha[/sp] was a nice twist, but then they threw it out of the window when [sp]the raptors suddenly decided "oh we love u chris pratt we remember"[/sp]. it's a wholly disappointing movie

I'm not one of the people who hated JW, I just felt disappointed by it after all the hype. Though if it hadn't been for[I]American Ultra[/I] being so dull it would have been on the bottom 5 of the summer films I saw. As to what you said the biggest thing is that you're right, [I]World[/I] doesn't feel like a Jurassic Park movie, but more like a movie that just happens to have dinosaurs in it. I may be wrong about this but I think that the majority of the first three films spent their time in the jungles of the park and Site B or at the very least that felt like the most scenes were. Jurassic World spends a lot of time on the midway at the park or the offices and as a result has to keep bringing the dinosaurs in. [editline]30th August 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Soleeedus;48577139]MERCEDEZ BENZ EVERYWHERE)[/QUOTE] The worst part was when one of the kids said something like "You want to see something more amazing?" -jump cut to Mercedes Benz car- I had to stop myself from talking in the theater saying "A Mercedes? Well, I'd say that's neat, interesting maybe, but I wouldn't say that's amazing."

i didn't like the dinosaurs in Jurassic world, has to be said.. they felt like lumps of plastic superimposed onto film where as at least in the others you can feel something is physically in the scene. I mean not trying to spoil anything but this for example: [img]http://i.imgur.com/pqPcemf.jpg[/img] WHY did this scene not scare me shitless? Because it was not believable and they wasted it. Yet here: [img]http://36.media.tumblr.com/1eb27f4edf7ea3f9d25660813be357bb/tumblr_mgbiyaBMOU1rbu729o1_1280.jpg[/img] you're like "fuck that shit m8" [editline]30th August 2015[/editline] and these films are made like 40 years apart...

The place beyond the pines 8/10 I thought it was a really fresh story. Great actors and interesting characters.

Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation 7, It was enjoyable but found it less exciting than GP, there was no stand out moment in it for me like the previous ones

Inside out. Non of the characters were memorable except joy who was such a fucking twat. Also, I could see the Kensington a mile away. Also, all the jokes were ruined by being included in the adverts 4/10

I really saw no REASON to put CGI over the Raptor 'animatronics' in JW. Were they really that lazy working on the raptors, or is it because the fact Stan Winston passed away that we can't get no longer get good visual effects for the dinosaurs.

I mean its made so many records that they're laughing to the bank i bet they wished they put more CGI in it.

The movie has been in developmental hell for years, but it seemed when it finally went in production that Universal all be like 'oh god, oh god, we're gonna make so much money, just let's put CGI in it and make it work for a 2015 date'. They had plenty of time to put effort into it but it seemed like it didn't matter. They must of even put 'put cgi here' in the script.

What [I]Jurassic Park[/I] did that was pretty clever was using animatronics to establish the dinosaurs (when the T-Rex is first seen) and then going to CG on the later parts (the 'must go faster' chase) where animatronics where implausible or impossible to use. It's more than just a "practical good, CG bad" reaction, it's knowing when and where to use them. Jurassic World used practical effects on certain shots to get a stronger emotional reaction.

[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;48577394]Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation 7, It was enjoyable but found it less exciting than GP, there was no stand out moment in it for me like the previous ones[/QUOTE] I remember when I saw MI5 I liked it and thought it was great but when I sat down to write by Best and Worst of the Summer I realized I could barely remember anything that happened in it. I mean I remember the opera scene and the final plot twists but as for the bulk of the film and even characters names I couldn't remember anything.

[QUOTE=DavidCameron;48577558]Inside out. Non of the characters were memorable except joy who was such a fucking twat. Also, I could see the Kensington a mile away. Also, all the jokes were ruined by being included in the adverts 4/10[/QUOTE] The real question is why did you go to Inside Out for the jokes

Killing Them Softly - 6/10 Man that political commentary was hamfisted. I liked its style though

I don't think inside out was bad at all

[QUOTE=Maddog's Here;48582074]I don't think inside out was bad at all[/QUOTE] It wasn't bad. It just wasn't the best Pixar's put out. It's still worth checking out.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/glMuMhF.jpg[/IMG] it was worse then I thought... compared to the actual visual effect effort [video=youtube;jAzQr3Ml0UI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAzQr3Ml0UI[/video]
