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

[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;49125019]i havent seen it yet but i find it hard to believe that spectre was better than skyfall idk[/QUOTE] they both suck

skyfall was good but it was hardly bond, could have been any secret agent man story. also, people tried hyping it up to be the best bond because it reminded them of the dark knight. fuck people. spectre was much more of a bond film than the last two, which is why i rate it up with casino royale.

so how do you start watching movies again when you're in a slump? I haven't watched a movie in over a week now and every time I try to start one I just turn it off after ten minutes

[QUOTE=cheetahben;49125483]so how do you start watching movies again when you're in a slump? I haven't watched a movie in over a week now and every time I try to start one I just turn it off after ten minutes[/QUOTE] For me, it really depends on the movie. When I'm not in the right mood, I usually don't bother with movies where you really have to invest yourself into the movie but would rather go with some easy to watch stuff. Action, comedy or horror usually works, even if they aren't great movies. Or just watch an episode of a tv show or something

Spectre 9/10, don't let anyone tell you this movie is terrible or bad. Felt like Craig was finally [I]really[/I] James Bond in this film.

Oldboy God. I feel kind of gross after watching this. People who have seen it will probably understand. I don't really know what I just watched, or why, but it was damn good.

Casino Royale was so good for finally deciding to change things up. what do we have to go backwards for?

watched Raging Bull 4/5 i'm da boss

[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;49126974]which is why casino royale was a better movie in every way[/QUOTE] alongside with on her majesty's secret service because it doesn't go for the typical bond formula. which is even more surprising considering how old it is.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;49125829]i think, what i have decided from all this, is that i just hate james bond? he is a deplorable asshole starring in incredibly generic and boring, soulless, power fantasy, 1 dimensional spy films?[/QUOTE] I meant to tell you that some time ago because I had suspected it, but I forgot to. Though there probably are a couple James Bond films that you could like better, which have a little more depth. Have you tried [I]From Russia with Love[/I], [I]On Her Majesty's Secret Service[/I] or [I]License to Kill[/I]? Or [I]Casino Royale[/I] too, I'd say.

[editline]16th November 2015[/editline] and that people who like that, aka the old bonds, will like this one[/QUOTE] well yeah, they were like action romp films the best thing the craig films do is get more into the psyche of being james bond. funny enough, it all still fits in with the "007 james bond is just a codename" theory, even with skyfall.

I for one can't wait until this thread stops talking about James Bond

[QUOTE=Rusty100;49125829]and that people who like that, aka the old bonds, will like this one[/QUOTE] Or they won't, because they'll be dissatisfied with a film consisting of only jerking to the older Bonds and ruining THE Bond villain.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;49125829]he is a deplorable asshole starring in incredibly generic and boring, soulless, power fantasy, 1 dimensional spy films? [/QUOTE] james bond is not an admirable character lol. but the reason I think BonD Jeames Bond is success is because he's so fucking smugly suave it's painful. and that is good.

[QUOTE=cheetahben;49127605]I for one can't wait until this thread stops talking about James Bond[/QUOTE] Well if it's the last movie we saw... :v:

Watched [URL="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1966604/"]The Imposter[/URL] a few days ago. Amazing movie. 10/10. Would recommend to anyone. Surprisingly dramatic and full of plot twists for a documentary.

He was a banker for terrorists who lost his clients' money and entered the poker game to try and win it back.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;49129836]they're still dull. and it makes no sense to go BACK to a dull formula that's been done to death[/QUOTE] But it hasn't. I mean, there's James Bond, and then there's ______ It's just the place people go for a certain thing. It's like Call of Duty. Most put-upon franchise in games nowadays, but it's still probably the most successful too. It's because it's a very specific collection of sights sounds and feelings that people want and expect from a very specific name. I don't like it, but I'm not gonna call it dull when it's clearly sharp enough to pull the quantity of players it does. That doesn't make any sense. It didn't get dull, you just developed a callus. It's fine. It's human.

[B]Turbo Kid[/B] - 8/10 Got off to a bit of a slow start but boy was this fun. Just a really genuine adventure film, with an eye for creative designs and a skillful use of a low budget. Also: literal fountains of blood and gore! If you're looking for a fun little post-apocalyptic movie go ahead and give it a watch.

[B]Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation[/B] - 9/10 I just finished watching this and this scene pictured below is missing: [IMG]http://cdn.movieweb.com/img.news.tops/NEb40MIxtpaUef_2_a.jpg[/IMG] Anybody notice this or did you see this scene? Please let me know.

[B]South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.[/B] 6/10 It was okay, but I was at once reminded why I don't watch South Park. I completely get the message, but when it's delivered to the tunes of "shut your fucking face uncle fucker," it gets kind of diminished. The issues are presented intelligently, but it's wrapped in low-tier humor... I honestly found it as irritating as Terrance and Phillip's Asses of Fire, the parody film in the movie. Like it was parodying itself. So it gets points for being smart and intelligently-written, and there's a very real nugget of truth and social commentary in there, but it's covered in poo. EDIT: Okay, apparently people disagree. Did I miss something, or was the humor just lost on me?

Plus, the "exploitation" elements didn't even faze me in the slightest because they looked so obviously fake I really ought to stop watching genre-revival stuff with any hope. Should've learned my lesson after Kung Fury
