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

i didn't think gravity was a particularly bad movie. didn't see it in the cinema either i thought the casting choices were ridiculous the moment i heard about them, but at the very least it was a visually interesting movie with a somewhat unique premise [editline]9th September 2015[/editline] i watched interstellar the same day and it's funny how that film felt more grounded than gravity at times

Gravity was okay, but it's screenplay was god awful.

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;48647251]Why? The series ended so neatly in Ultimatum why do they have to keep making them? It's not like that last one was all that great.[/QUOTE] i like to think legacy isn't even of a part of the series damon/greengrass are in it so i am totally fine with more bourne, i cant waittt

[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;48647487]i like to think legacy isn't even of a part of the series [/QUOTE] pretty much. it helps that Legacy was barely connected to the other films and had an absolute non-ending

Legacy might not have been as good as the other movies, but it was still good.

Legacy had potential to expand the Borne movies but they instead made the most useless movie ever made to be apart of a series.

haven't seen the bourne legacy but it'd be funny if it was just jeremy renner doing his quirky action man routine again except in a serious movie

The secret world of Arrietty 8/10 While that's a generous vote and the movie is a bit short compared to a usual Studio Ghibli film, I can't see the grips people have towards this movie: the beautiful craft is still there and, if anything, you really become invested in the fate of the Borrowers featured As a side note, Hara, the "antagonsit" of Arrietty, is more disgusting than funny as a villain, if you ask me

[QUOTE=DChapsfield;48646507]i know this is a lot of analyzation for about four seconds of a film, but it apparently disgruntled a great many people. the guitar + steering wheel are a neat effect that i'm sure satisfied the people who enjoy typical hollywood 3D extravaganzas. However--and especially with having seen the making of video with the full unedited shot--i would have enjoyed it more without the extra effect the transition at the end of the shot, when the center of the steering wheel fills the frame and goes to black before jumping to the next shot, would remain wholly intact because the camera that recorded the crash was placed so perfectly that the cab of the rig comes right up to the lens anyway, and the dirt and dust fills the rest of the screen quite well. thematically, it would make more sense to see a plain, literally gritty, realistic crash sequence. (Obvious Fury Road spoilers) [sp]The story is coming to a close; the fantasy of riding the Wastes in ridiculous machines questing for glory and the aspiration of Valhalla is being torn down as Joe's reign comes to a violent conclusion. the War Rig and Duff Wagon, two out of the three of the magnum opera of Joe's frenetic imagination, are being totaled, contributing to the downfall of his society. Reality, sensibility, and compassion are about to return to this pocket of the world. Because, in the end, that is the conclusion to this plot: the destitute population is saved from repression and given hope again as the maniacal tyrant is overthrown. The presence of Duff Man's guitar and the skull emblem steering wheel flying at your face suggests their feverish spirituality will never die. In part, this is correct, because there are still three more Mad Max stories to follow after this plot. But for Fury Road's sake, it would have been more effective to watch the crash unfold completely and, perhaps, let the camera sit still while the dust settles in order to set the tone that the insanity is finally receding. It's my opinion that George successfully established the atmosphere of his world prior, even just by having the Duff Wagon exist in the first place. no need for anything more crazy, especially when it runs against the change in tone.[/sp][/QUOTE] just realized i had been writing 'Duff' instead of 'Doof' Wagon the Simpsons is infiltrating my brain

[QUOTE=PollytheParrot;48643312]you kind of had to see it fresh and in cinema, like I saw it in IMAX when it first came out and was just blown away[/QUOTE] I saw that movie during the peak of an acid trip. Boy, was it something.

Age of Ultron 6/10 - 5-10 surprisingly mediocre?

saw some movies how about that "dumb but fun" tier -mission impossible: ghost protocol "wouldn't mind watching it if it was on tv" tier -mission impossible 3 -how to train your dragon 2 -interstellar "could've been better" tier -gravity -avengers: age of ultron "piece of shit" tier -oblivion

Escape From New York - About the third or fourth time I've seen it and it is still absolutely great. I can't think of any major flaws.

they need to put that on netflix. the selection is seriously getting old

In 2010: "Could you tell me about 5 cool new movies on Netflix?" "Sure!" In 2015: "Could you tell me about 5 cool new movies on Netflix?" "Fuck knows"

[QUOTE=autodesknoob;48652499]Age of Ultron 6/10 - 5-10 surprisingly mediocre?[/QUOTE] I felt the same way, it didn't appeal to me and I never understood the positivity towards this movie. It was fun but yet it was a terrible mess.

[QUOTE=autodesknoob;48652499]Age of Ultron 6/10 - 5-10 surprisingly mediocre?[/QUOTE] i really can't see why people think this it was literally the same thing as the first avengers movie, only aou spent more time setting up the next phase, and james spader was reduced to a c-grade villain at best.

Eureka Seven: Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers: 6.9/10 After watching the entire series of Eureka Seven I decided to watch the films in the hope of a more heart touching story... boy was I mostly disappointed. [sp]To start with I appreciate they wanted to tell the story in an alternative universe; they even mentioned of one at the end of the series. However with this said they didn't take enough liberties on the idea and even pulled a lot of terrible narrative choices. First off they made the main villain creepy in the wrong kind of way, and axed him off camera before the main story even began. Second this whole weird parallel of the gecko state suffering from rapid ageing was a little bit weird for my liking. Not to mention that they all aged at different rates which made it too convenient for the cast. Thirdly the biggest pain in the side was the weird reuse of shots and footage from the show with a new coat of paint. Why use the same footage if your going to redraw over it anyway? With all this said, there were two good points that saved it from being shit. The romance was still there, even if it did feel as magic as I would have hoped. Eureka and Renton had some very heartfelt moments towards the start and the end of the film. Seeing the alternative timeline play-out with them knowing each other as kids was so heart warming. The ending was also good if it wasn't for the mixed feelings I had with it. What I originally expected from the film, after seeing screenshots and the overall series, was that I thought this was a reincarnation romance on an island where they have to save each other. Instead what I saw was the ending which played out a lot differently. I was happy that unlike in the series, they were 100% confirmed to have survived the whole ordeal and they can live happily ever after. With that said, what nagged at the back of my head was why can't she speak properly anymore and would she learn to speak again? I might be knit picky but I noticed in all versions of Eureka Seven, they have a thing with "kinda happily ever afters". In the series its ambiguous, unless you count the japanese version's drawing at the last frame. The manga killed Eureka off and had a weird "she'll come back" BS which seems real confusing. This film is actually closest to the full package, but it reminds me too much of my original expectation of the film as a whole. To finish off the film is still a watch if you are a fan of the show, but be warned that the middle ruins it with how jarring it is. So I'm forced to give it a very high six. Guess this Eureka was almost a seven.[/sp] Sorry for the otkau overload.

[QUOTE=teddthebucfan;48656760]I think you just explained why he thought it wasn't that great.[/QUOTE] i s'pose that makes sense, i still enjoyed the film despite its flaws. and now, something i've only just watched for the first time ever [img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/67/Forrest_Gump_poster.jpg[/img] i'd give it an 8/10 it was pretty good but after hearing constant "it's one of the best movies ever made" that kinda brought it down. still, pretty good and i can see why it won all of those awards.

So that's all you have to say about that?

yeah after being constantly shunned by my co-worker for not watching it, i finally said fuck it and watched it. it's a good movie, i just didn't get all caught up in it like everyone else.

[B]The Warriors[/B] (Walter Hill, 1979) 6/10 For such a "cult film", I expected better. The plot is very basic, the characters aren't fleshed out at all though they desperately needed to be, the end is catastrophically anti-climatic despite a build-up. And that woman is such a despicable and terribly written character. And yet, the film has a great atmosphere, with a cool soundtrack. Watching a group of survivors run and fight their way through a New York only ruled by an infinite number of gangs has a surreal charm. And despite everything, the actors are pretty good. The director is able to give different neighborhoods a superbly eerie feeling, and maintains the illusion that nowhere in this city is really safe from the gangs. A movie to be compared with [I]Escape from New York[/I].

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;48652779]"piece of shit" tier -oblivion[/QUOTE] i liked Oblivion :/

I legitimately enjoyed oblivion also. Some pretty cool concepts and even a bad Tom Cruise action movie is still better than a lot of others on a scale of enjoyability.

[B]Black Sea[/B] 7.5/10 really enjoyable submarine thriller with some great photography and direction. The only thing that was lacking was the writing, with some of the interactions between the crew members coming across as contrived thrills which felt very artificial. Other than that, pretty intense and never boring. and Jude Law's scottish accent is fine, people should shut up about it.

[QUOTE=DChapsfield;48660472]i liked Oblivion :/[/QUOTE] It was far too Hollywood-y for my taste. Predictable twists [sp]("bad guys wear black and their leader's mask even has angry looking eyes- oh wait they're not the bad guys at all" and "lady with a computer voice who we only ever see in a screen is actually a robot", but the worst offender was easily the "memory wipe" thing)[/sp], convenient plot devices [sp](such as characters with vital information holding back on telling Tom Cruise anything for the sake of mystery, or the alien ship being unable to take control of the aircraft it built and provided. Also, where did the "it's just a machine, I am the weapon" line come from? All we're told about Tom Cruise is that he's a 'tech' and an astronaut, why does he become Jason Bourne by the end of the movie?)[/sp] [editline]11th September 2015[/editline] also I saw no reason for it to be Tom Cruise in that role, I can think of hundreds of other actors that'd have been a better fit

The soundtrack to Oblivion was so good i actually went back and watched it twice.
