Rate The Last Movie You Watched - April V3 - no tv shows - General

Withnail & I - 9/10 I'd only heard good things so I was expecting to be disappointed, but the film is great. It's probably the funniest film I've seen in a long time with loads of hilarious moments/lines. I think the only downside would be that I thought it ended a bit quickly.

[QUOTE=TheDiggleGod;42918524]I was also surprised at how good it was, also I love how we never saw Dredd's face (I did find out later it was part of a contract or something that he couldn't show his actual face).[/QUOTE] Dredd never shows his face in the comics and the movie kept that idea (unlike the other one)

Didn't Karl Urban specifically request that the helmet never comes off?

[QUOTE=DudeGuyKT;42919859]Didn't Karl Urban specifically request that the helmet never comes off?[/QUOTE] Yep. There was going to be a reveal, but Karl refused to remove the helmet.

[QUOTE=mikeyt493;42918145]The Hobbit was a big step down from LOTR and not just because of tone, I knew it was gonna be more kiddy, I mean I've read the Hobbit, it just wasn't as good. Only saw it once though so I couldn't really say why. It was still good and cool though [editline]19th November 2013[/editline] .[/QUOTE] bad things about the hobbit that I can think of are Azog, who both didn't need to be there and shouldn't have been. Also CGI made all the orcs completely forgettable. Remember Gothmog from return? He had like two lines but I know that motherfucker. Also with Radagast they pretty much straight up admitted that pipe weed is meant to be like real world weed, when Tolkein meant it as tobacco. They hinted at that in LOTR but the fact that they pretty much made Radagast some wasteman stoner pissed me off. Also why does a book that's considerably thinner than Anna Karenina need three films when Joe Wright made that into a single film that was brilliant. 2 films I could have got behind but they're going to put in so much filler to pad this all the way out. Also fuck having Legolas in it and fuck putting Evangeline Lily's character in for no reason other than it's a sausage fest. If the book was a sausage fest the film should be too. Other than that yeah I love it, I grew up reading all these books, if they made a silmarillion film I'd go watch it even though I can admit that the silmarillion is just a yawnfest that noone but LOTR nerds will appreciate anyhow Bling Ring - Yeah I liked what it was trying to do, felt kind of like spring breakers, but it lacked the arthouse bent that made me really appreciate Korine's piece. I feel like Coppola is better than this film, Lost in Translation was so beautiful and this was just good. 7/10

[I]Thor: The Dark World - 8/10[/I] Not the best Marvel movie I've seen, but a lot of fun. I enjoyed it a lot. [I]The Wolverine - 7/10[/I] I liked most of it, but I was like "bleh" when Silver Samurai appeared. [I]Elysium - 8/10[/I] Very well constructed, I liked it. [I]Kick-Ass 2 - 5/10[/I] It was fun, but whoever made this movie does not know what pacing is.

Well part of how they're stretching the movies out is that they're including tidbits from other sources like The Silmarillion and a few of Tolkien's other works. Isn't it shocking how Jackson deviates from source material so much? (Stuff like the council meeting is pretty much mentioned briefly offhand in the book, but in the movie plays a major role). Honestly it may be a bit much for people but I wouldn't mind seeing 3 Extended Edition version movies for each of the books. This would let them stay much truer to the texts and would honestly, imo, be epic as shit

[I]Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father[/I] I can't even, I'm so emotionally exhausted It was amazing, one of the best documentaries i've seen, but i'm broken and will not and can not watch this ever again

[B]Zoolander[/B] 7/10 [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7c/Movie_poster_zoolander.jpg[/IMG] Monstrously stupid but still pretty darn funny. A lot of pop-culture references date it a bit, but the ridiculousness of fashion will always be relevant. I like how Stiller and Wilson play different types of moron, and there are a lot of great lines.

Thor 2: 8/10. I liked it. Thor isn't exactly my favorite super hero but it was a fun time.

[QUOTE=Pops;42918771]this right here is what i like to call compensation[/QUOTE] how is that compensation and compensation for what? [editline]20th November 2013[/editline] i dont think you know what compensation means?

It's that thing they always tell me I'm entitled to on TV.

I watched all 3 LoTR movies in theaters when I was a kid, and I watched the Hobbit movie a few months ago. I didn't care for any of them, and while I can understand why people would gush over the LoTR trilogy, I don't get any of the praise for The Hobbit, even though I loved the book and read it 3 times, as well as listening to the books-on-tape version several times. There were too many parts that felt unnecessary, like the orc that is hunting Oakenshield, and the group meeting up with the elves and the white wizard dude. It felt like they wanted to tie everything to LoTR instead of letting The Hobbit be its own thing.

I thought u were being sarcastic at first and we're making fun of that dude but then I realized... U are that dude w does not liking the hobbit means he has a terrible life?? Wtf Maybe it's you who is projecting

[QUOTE=Pops;42922598]compensation for that small d bro your real life is complete dogshit so you come on the internet and boast your tough guy with credible intelligence ego i've seen this shit a thousand times before[/QUOTE] Completely agree. If you don't think the Hobbit is 10/10 then your life is horrible and you have a tiny dick

no, the fact that rusty always feels the need to berate people for having their own opinions is why he suffers from having a small dick.

How very first year psychology of you

[QUOTE=Pops;42922828]no, the fact that rusty always feels the need to berate people for having their own opinions is why he suffers from having a small dick.[/QUOTE] lmfao. its actually super comforting that u have to think my life must suck to sleep better at night, just because i hated the hobbit and lotr. [editline]20th November 2013[/editline] anyone who knows anything personal about me can dispute ur post entirely too. as well as people whove seen my dick ;)

[B]Margin Call[/B] High stakes for an understated film. Great acting from a solid cast. 4 financial crises out of 5.

[QUOTE=Pops;42922828]no, the fact that rusty always feels the need to berate people for having their own opinions is why he suffers from having a small dick.[/QUOTE] self righteous much?

Why do we need to have this rusty debate every couple of pages? We all know rusty is often blunt and rude in his opinions. Just move on.

[B]Blade[/B] 6.8/10 I like the style, the action and Blade as a character (reminds me of Batman in a few aspects.). The story is very weak and there is some terrifying CGI, but it still stands as a pretty solid action flick. [B]Blade II[/B] 7/10 Much better than the first, but the action becomes redundant half way through (except for the final fight. wow) and the story is still pretty weak. Still very cool and 'badass'. watching Blade: Trinity tonight. I heard it's awful but the idea of fighting Dracula sounds both interesting and hilarious so I have to watch it.

[QUOTE=NoNameForEvil;42923552][B]The Hunger Games[/B] Fucking terrible. All of the characters were flat and dull. They really didn't make any effort to make the protagonists likeable. Like, at all. The protagonist has no expression on her face most of the time, and her love interest is a dopey looking twat who spends a lot of time whining. The character development is fucking nonexistant. Barely anybody talks apart from Katnip and Petey. Katfish Jellybean is one of the dullest protags I've ever fucking seen. Her and[sp]Pablo Magmortar's[/sp]romance was forced and unconvincing as fuck, and didn't really seem like more than an excuse for the [sp]hamhanded "we're gonna die together!" scene,[/sp]which lacked any sort of impact whatsoever. It seemed like the tributes forgot that they were being fucking HUNTED. They bumbled their way around the forest, making as much noise as they fucking liked, removing any sense of tension. [sp]What the fuck happened to all of Katia's sponsors? She got a Burn Heal for the burn she got from the ridiculous as fuck fireballs, and then later on got a Hyper Potion for Peter Malarkey. She got the highest score out of any of the tributes, but she only got 2 sponsors, and only one of the fucking gifts was useful for HER? Didn't seem like anybody else got anything. Those are some really shitty sponsors![/sp] Last I checked, this was called the motherfucking [B]HUNGER[/B] Games. Nobody, at any point, seemed hungry. Not even in poor, starving District 12, where Katcall Runnerbean has to work her ass off to feed her family that never really seem very fucking hungry. A film about kids in an arena brutally murdering eachother has never seemed so fucking tame and clean. If there was supposed to be a social commentary, I guess I missed it. And oh boy, the ending. [sp]The Games could really have benefited from some fucking set-in-stone rules. It flip-flops so much that any tension is completely removed. "Only one person can win!" "Actually nah, two peeps can win!" Then, when Karkat and Petey are the only two people left, "haha actually only one dude can win now" and then back to "okay fuck it you can both win.". Was it supposed to add tension or something? It was painfully obvious that they were both going to win from the start, so all it did is drag out the movie even fucking longer.[/sp] Overall, I'd say it was a fucking piece of shit. Dreadful/5[/QUOTE] Having just seen it, I just can't disagree with this. Over-rated tripe at its finest. The camera work is fucking awful. It's like they filmed it with a hand-held and ran a stabilizer on about half of it. And really, I couldn't take[sp]Rue's death seriously at fucking all. Here's a character we've known for about 5 minutes. Let's kill her off and have Katniss grieve over her as if she was a childhood friend. Then let's have her make this elaborate fucking flower bullshit around her, all while the game is still going on.[/sp]All I could do was laugh all the way through, it was beyond retarded. I also like how she's so eager to[sp]trust Peter again. Yeah, not like he betrayed you from the first second and then confessed to being a stalker, we cool now, right?[/sp]Or for that matter, their faces when [sp]the 2-winner rule was revoked. They've been told dozens of times that it's a show, it's based around a spectacle as much as possible, did they honestly expect the rules not to be bent a few times?[/sp] And lest we forget [sp]Katniss's tracker jacker stings and cut virtually disappearing overnight[/sp] People sometimes ask me how I can enjoy one bad movie but not the other. I tell them there's 2 types, hilariously bad movies and bad bad movies. Now I finally have an example of the latter.

The only thing really bad about Hunger Games is the camera work. Ive seen plunty of shaky camera movies and none of them were as bad as Hunger Games. Im going to see Catching Fire later tonight.

The Hunger Games is fine. If you think it's dreadful then you obviously haven't seen many movies.

Part of my ire comes from the fact that so many people I know loved this movie and kept going on about how great it is. Then I go and watch it and find something that's average at best. Another part comes from my tolerance for poor writing. The main characters are bland and unsympathetic, there's some really weird inconsistencies, the romance is shoehorned in at the last minute and the story ranges from interesting to downright laughable.

the hunger games are fine but terribly overrated. it couldve done so much better
