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

Only God Forgives is a great movie and it does not deserve any of the hate it gets.

Drive has an incredible amount of emotion. wtf literally the entire first half of the movie is building you up to care about the characters. the soundtrack, everything is full of meaning

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;48973916]A lot of people said the monster didn't look that cool, but I thought it looked awesome. [sp] That shot at the end from the ground up would have been amazing to see on the big screen. I feel like I missed out. [/sp] I wouldn't mind a sequel if they handled it correctly.[/QUOTE] Cloverfield is one of the rare films I saw in theaters more than once.

[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;48976429]What are peoples' opinions on the harry potter films? Are they worth watching as a 21 year old with no prior investment in the series or is it just kiddy shit the whole way through?[/QUOTE] they're pretty solid for a franchise with 8 freaking movies

Terminator: Genisys 4/10 Shlockiest piece of garbage I've ever seen. The first 30 minutes or so were pretty interesting, but it lost me with all the forced references, all the unnecessary wise-cracking, every action scene especially the helicopter chase (I think I counted 5 instances where if attempting to pull those maneuvers in reality, one of the helicopter's would've crashed; also the fact that john's conveniently crashes outside cyberdyne), the terrible dialogue and how entirely convoluted the plot is. Felt more like the fuckin avengers than a terminator movie and that's saying something considering the last two movies. It's just milking the cow by this point, it had a relatively interesting concept but the execution was piss-poor and my eyes hurt from rolling them so much throughout. Also that whole alternate timeline subplot to justify it being set in basically present day was so contrived

[QUOTE=megafat;48978428]The moment the COPS theme played, that's when i declared it one of the more terrible films I've ever seen.[/QUOTE] It's also the moment I strained my eyeballs the hardest. The entire film can be summed up in that one word at the end of that post: Contrived. I watched it almost right off the back of Terminator 1 and you know it's a bad film when most of the cgi looks worse than the stop-motion at the end of T1 [editline]25th October 2015[/editline] Also Jason Clarke was the only appropriately cast actor imo, and the only one who delivered his lines with any sort of conviction. On the other end of the spectrum there's that guy who was the head of cyberdyne or whatever, giving his speech about genisys, he sounded bored out his mind

I agree but you can't really compare Cgi to stop motion, they're different beast.

Finally saw John Wick and I'm so glad I passed on seeing this one in the theater. Well-done action sequences mean nothing when they're surrounded by such a boring, predictable story 4/10 tbh

[QUOTE=cheetahben;48976739]also Valhalla Rising is my favorite Refn movie but imo if you like Only God Forgives you're a contrarian[/QUOTE] I hate Refn but if I had to choose I'd definitely say I preferred OGF to Drive. First of, I'll admit that I'm a sucker for trashy art/mood films like Paris Texas, Valerie, Last Year at the Marienbad, El Topo ect. I felt Drive hit some midpoint of trying to focus on both story and visuals which left it as a pretty decent looking but ultimately boring and derivative feeling 'thiller' (not really a thriller but yknow the kind of shit i'm talking about). OGF on the other hand goes full on with visuals and has a script that more or less lends itself to mood than to telling a story. OGF leans more to the surreal while Drive felt a little bit more Hollywood with how it presented itself, it just wasn't as interesting to me. But in the end, Refn's still a pretentious fuckhead [editline]25th October 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=cheetahben;48979666]Finally saw John Wick and I'm so glad I passed on seeing this one in the theater.

My only problem with it is that it kinda tapered off towards the end, still though, it's probably one of the better action movies to come out recently.

Especially most people that saw it aren't really the intended audience, with Drive getting so much mainstream popularity, of course refn's 'new fans' aren't going to like his silly eurotrash art house stuff.

The actors, the characters, the dialogues, the thrill, the ending... It's an almost perfect mixture of everything that makes American crime films great. Right now, I'd think it's the best Scorsese film I've seen... but I think Shutter Island is still my favorite.

[/QUOTE] Polanski's Macbeth is really amazing, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who hasn't read Macbeth because tbh I find old English dialogue very hard to follow if I don't know it beforehand. Still, the film is absolutely amazing and has a perfect atmosphere to fit with the dark tone of the play.

So really as long as they know the beginning of Macbeth, it shouldn't be too hard to follow

Miracle Mile (1988) This movie was the most suspenseful movie i've seen in a long time. I really enjoyed this film because of this "wrong" gut-feeling i got at the beginning of this movie. The plot is slow though since it goes almost through the 1st quarter of the film before it gets better, and boy does it all go to hell. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoy an old "the end of the world" type B-movie.

??? go home you're drunk but no Refn is definitely pretentious yup

[QUOTE=cdr248;48979802] you have terrible taste [/QUOTE] There are ways of disagreeing with someone's film taste without coming across like a dick about it.

cdr, if your going to be rude I suggest you leave. We are all friendly here, even if we disagree with each other's opinion (you do not know how much I would try to defend Terminator Genisys) but doesn't mean we should be making a fuss about it

I really need to see They Live.

I have seen and love the Cornetto Trilogy with Hot Fuzz obviously being my favorite. HF, SOTD, and WE in that order.

The Burning - 5/10 Supremely meh. It's like Friday the 13th but not nearly as interesting. In fact, there are a grand two noteworthy thing about this. 1, the effects were done by the king of gore make-up himself Tom Savini and 2, the soundtrack was composed by Yes's Rick Wakeman. Other than that, there's not really anything this movie has going for it.

[QUOTE=Corndog Ninja;48956268][B]Cowboy Bebop: The Movie[/B] - 8/10 Basically a bigger episode of the show; I love [I]Bebop[/I] so that was fine by me. It's got all the ingredients that made the show great - mystery, mystics, deadly villains, snappy banter, great action, humor, and of course jazz. I have a few nitpicks - Jet sounded a little off and something was weird with the transfer (I could see dirt and smudges on cels which was distracting) but overall it was excellent. Now I just need to watch the last few episodes of the show...[/QUOTE] The only thing that irks me is knowing that the movie is largly made of premade setups and scenes. [editline]25th October 2015[/editline] Event Horizon 6/10 Horrible shlock with awesome effects. A movie right out of that sweet spot before CGI was replacing most effects.

Circle - 6/10 I want to like this movie a lot more than I do because the setting is interesting. Then again, I'm a sucker for single-set movies. What boggles my mind about this movie, however, is that we get a room of 50 people who constantly have to vote about who dies next and maybe three people are written to be even remotely likable. How am I supposed to root for anyone when quite literally 90% of the cast is a bunch of dicks, some even comically so? As it stands, it's another example of one of my least favorite ways to describe something; good idea, lacking execution.
