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

Pixels 6.5-7/10 had a few classics which was nice. The ending wasn't anything unexpected though Also I didn't like it at the end when [sp] Q*Bert changed to that girl, I know they made baby ones but it still sucked [/sp]

idk, i thought a lot of people found that movie ineffectively pretentious. i do want to see it one day tho.

There can never be too many words for a decently explained opinion. If you don't like a film, the film itself may not be worth a long explanation, but your opinion may. If you see what I'm getting at.

[QUOTE=Maddog's Here;48879525]its nothing amazing but worth the watch, preferred wreck it Ralph to pixels[/QUOTE] i think he refers to Under the skin

I don't see how you found Assault on Precinct 13 boring unless you have a very low attention span.

My friend once said 'man Terminator was WORSE then Pixels!' then I said 'if you think that way, go see Fantastic Four and then tell me what you think'. He never talked about it again.

[QUOTE=matt000024;48879622]I don't see how you found Assault on Precinct 13 boring unless you have a very low attention span.[/QUOTE] That's not the case at all, so I really don't get all the praise. I'd like to understand, but there are some things that can't be explained. To me AoP13 will remain badly written and too slow and uneven.

Do people actually really hate pixels that much?

yes its terrible [editline]11th October 2015[/editline] at the end of the movie on character [I]literally[/I] gets a trophy girl

[b]Mysterious Skin[/b] Well, the rest of my day has been completely and totally ruined

I'm so glad Sicario seems to be so well received amongst the thread. It's legitimately one of the greatest films I've had the pleasure of watching.

im going to see it Friday with some friends and I'm more excited about seeing it than I was seeing the Martian [editline]11th October 2015[/editline] speaking of space movies, I rewatched [B]2001: A Space Odyssey[/B] again recently and thought basically the same thing I did the last time I watched it its common knowledge that this film is a visual masterpiece, which anyone can see just from looking at it. i forgot who, but someone said they enjoy this movie the same way they enjoy the classical music soundtrack, by listening to the music instead of the words. its more about the journey than the destination, as corny as that sounds. however, this film is [I]incredibly[/I], ridiculously slow, probably the slowest movie i've ever seen. I understand that Kubrick could be doing this to show the monotony and routine of space travel and humanity in the universe of the movie, but it still makes for a movie that, though scientifically accurate and understandable, can be boring for most people, myself included. however, the special effects, visuals, soundtrack, and HAL himself are all worth watching the movie, no matter if youre a movie buff or just someone who likes good movies. definitely not my favorite movie, but its something that any lover of cinema should see just for its significance in impacting the art of filmmaking.

/\ couldnt have said it better myself. im always getting slated for finding 2001 kind of boring

yeah its like all these people have told me over and over that its supposed to be boring in a sense, and while i can appreciate the thought that went into it, at the end of the day its boring at times, something I never want in a movie, no matter how thought provoking or visually stunning

I wasn't bored at all during 2001.

[QUOTE=matt000024;48882929]I wasn't bored at all during 2001.[/QUOTE] not during the multi-minute long sequences of spacecraft docking? or during the strange 2 minute period of black screen at the start, or the incredibly slow movement of all of the characters? in many situations, this extreme crawl of pacing helps build tension really well, but there were multiple times where i felt the scene served no purpose at all during the movie, even if it was incredibly well done for its time and held some scientific accuracy

Just watched [I]Once Upon A Time In The West[/I]. This is my first Sergio Leone, and I loved it. I'm normally not much for westerns, but this was super exciting and awesome throughout. Would definitely recommend.

thats true but i still dont see why they needed to carry on for as long as they did for instance when the small, round ship lands on the moon, its all very well designed with fantastic red lighting, but it goes lower and lower on the platform for a solid minute+ its an excellent shot but i dont see why it needs to be that long other than to fit the incredibly slow pacing of the entire movie (not inherently bad, david fincher often has very slow pacing and i love it)

It's called an overture, a lot of big movies from that era had an overture and an intermission.

do you mean how its compared to a symphony or whatever with the really long, drawn out piece in the middle? thats the best reason i can think of. as i said before, it was an incredible step forward in the art of movie making and i can accept and will continue to respect that, but personally i do not enjoy a movie that slow

Epic movies of that era had overture music, intermission music and exit music for the people in the theaters.

you're right, im holding it to the standards of what i consider a good/entertaining movie, which isn't fair considering its been almost 50 years since its release obviously thanks to its incredible special effects it hasn't really aged much but its still very important to factor in movies of the time when critiquing it

[B]Sicario[/B] - 10/10 perfect, i honestly don't have much to say except go watch it right now. bar none one of the best movies i've ever seen with some incredible cinematography and sound. felt like a modern apocalypse now i loved that [sp]mustached guy who came off as the biggest goof, then 5 minutes later he takes out 4 guys in like 2 seconds[/sp] also god i have boner for movies that use music sparsely but effectively

[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;48883110]No I'm being literal lol. Epic movies of that era had overture music, intermission music and exit music for the people in the theaters.[/QUOTE] Well the thing is that they often made movies that were 3+ hours long that filled both halves of a double feature back then so an intermission was kind of necessary. The purpose of the music to lead into the second half, the Entr'acte as it's called, was so that if you saw it with someone who was still out in the lobby you could run out, find them, and still have time to get back in your seat before the film started

[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;48883219][B]Sicario[/B] - 10/10 also god i have boner for movies that use music sparsely but effectively[/QUOTE] I honestly do not think this movie would be as good if it had a music track for every scene. It really made the suspense more powerful than any kind of 'suspense music'. The film was creepy, especially when they [sp]drive into Mexico[/sp] It felt as if there was a giant, horrible monster lurking just beyond and you're just [I]waiting[/I] for it to jump out and attack everything, especially when you see the [sp]very very heavily armed escort they're given.[/sp] The whole lack of actual action with the huge build up of suspense in that scene was amazing. It would not have been like that if it were filled with music.
