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

Riddick: Director's Cut Riddickulous/5 I'll admit, it is better than the theatrical cut, but not all that much. Around 3.5/5.

[QUOTE=Diet Kane;43602349]the amount of dumbs this got is appalling holy shit this thread has fucking awful taste[/QUOTE] That has nothing to do with taste, just attitude. Pollyparrot was rude that's all. Doesn't mean everyone hates 2001 or something and even if people do it doesn't mean they do t like other great movies. Think u need to step off yout high horse cos you were condescending to me for liking harmony korine as well, your attitude is p holier than thou by the looks of it

Uprising (2001) its decent, though I watched it right after The Pianist so yeah I guess my expectations were high. I just couldn't fucking stop seeing David Schwimmers character as Ross from Friends, I had the same problem with Band of Brothers, I just cracked up laughing whenever he came on scene because I'd instantly think of Ross [editline]21st January 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=bdd458;43593074] although like many Australian WWI flicks they make the British officers be really pompous, stuck up, we're better than you, which you don't see in ones made by the British :P. [/QUOTE] because many Australians hate the British for the shit they did to Aussie troops

The Hunger Games 2 9/10 Yes, I too agree that it's better than the first one. Feels so different

Samurai jack pilot. 10/10

What the fuck is this, I'm watching Supernatural on Netflix but that's irrelevant. Kinda, anyway: I'm using the free month trial, and I have used it twice already with my brother's and mother's details, but now when I got a free month on my details, it only worked yesterday and when I took off my subscription it took away my free month as well. Why?

bit of a dump, spent all weekend on movies. The Iron Giant 11/10 MOTY I forgot how good it was. Top notch animation, fantastic writing good for kids & adults, strong messages and heartwarming story in general makes up for a diamond in the rough. Makes me wish I was younger when the movie first came out. First Blood 9/10 The charachter of Rambo is quite a clever one. He's got this almost supernatural stealth skills that made the action-side of the movie amazing. Then there is the abuse theme and the shellshock and psychological drama underlying that were very interesting, albeit it had me confused for a while since I had no idea what the general thought about war vets in the US after the 'nam war was without prior research. He is also presented gradually which is something I love, great great great narrative. The abuse, then escape, then 'cat vs very big mouse' were TENSE and had me keep my breath at certain times, and you know when that happens a movie has hit the right spot. I'm also a sucker for those 70s & 80s soundtracks with all those weird beats (can't top Alien tho). First Blood II: RAMBO 6/10 Eh. Good cop vs bad cop just like in the first movie, makes me wonder if they were trying to send a message that the army was corrupt then? Am I missing a link again? I don't know. Now we're in vietnam and there are stereotipical russian baddies. Rambo has lost much of his depth- abuse theme: more than before, we get to see straight up torture for the sake of torture. shellshock theme: gone, he even went back to 'nam without second thoughts. psychological drama: pale in comparison to the first movie. There is this love interest (hot as fuck) that gets shot literally 5 seconds after they kiss and it was ridiculous at best, garbage tier writing. The stealth and action scenes redeem the movie partially, and makes up for an average movie per se, but compared to it's predecessor it just lost too much.

Yeah, since stuff like the My Lai Massacre happened, almost everyone generalized US soldiers as psychotic murder-loving tools. There was zero sympathy for the fact that they were all drafted and just trying to survive.

Don't be a menace to south central while drinking juice in the hood. TENOUTTATEN!!!

just finished watching: 1984 (1984) doubleplus ungood / 10 The story follows the book decently but has some unnecessary differences. Why remove Julia from the scene where Winston and her go at O'Brien's apartment? Why making O'brien so irrelevant in the first part of the movie? (No 'we will meet in the place where there is no darkness' line!) Why so few shots of devastated London & the crowds of proles? Also the dream sequences were very different from the book- rats were everywhere, no nightmare of family sinking deep down and much more. The editing was a jumbled mess. At the beginning there was no way to tell a dream sequence and the story apart, it all just seemed incoherent in the space-time. Later on we got to associate the Golden Country to a dream sequence, but couldn't they find a better solution? At first I thought there was an audio clue to it but then they used that same chime in other instances, fuck. And no, it's NOT ok if we get to associate flashbacks/dream sequences on the second time we watch it. Also most of the time the propaganda stuff was in sepia tone, then at a point it wasn't because.. they forgot it or something? Also why not give a detail shot of the piece of paper Julia gave Winston Going from her hand to his? That is straight up negligence, you won't get what happened without some guesswork / knowing the story. Also all the elements of premonitions are gone, and the torture in Miniluv lost all of the pain-induced disorienting / nightmarish / hallucinatory stuff it had in the book. A world of possibilities wasted. Also UNFORGIVABLE decisions of leaving '2 + 2 = _' blank and making Winston say 'I love you ___' at the end without B.B. after it. I give them credit for the tanks and helicopters roaming london and the good INGSOC logo design, they were a perfect addition. The 'You are the dead' scene was also properly executed, and J Hurt's acting was convincing for the most part.

After watching through Star trek: TNG on netflix, I ended up watching the TNG movies (well, most of them. Insurrection wasn't on Netflix for some reason). [B]Star Trek: Generations: 7/10[/B] I know this movie was supposed to be a "passing the torch" movie, but Kirk was barely in the movie [sp]and got killed rather unceremoniously[/sp]. Malcolm McDowell was pretty awesome as the villain, though. And seeing Data actually having emotions after getting that emotion chip installed was hilarious (the "searching for lifeforms" song was hilarious). [B]Star Trek: First Contact: 9/10[/B] This was an awesome movie. The Borg actually looked horrifying with their new redesign. The segments with them aboard the Enterprise felt like an Alien movie (a good one). The sequences on Earth gave it a nice balance with some comedy and a little drama. Picard's whole motivation (still being scarred from the two-part episode where the Borg basically raped him physically and mentally into becoming one of them) made his actions in the movie (such as his temper tantrum when everyone tried to convince him to destroy the Enterprise to take out the Borg) understandable (he didn't want the Borg to take everything from him again). The Borg Queen kinda looked like an Asari from Mass Effect to me... if said Asari was in the middle of getting Reaper-fied. [B]Star Trek: Nemesis: 9/10[/B] Tom Hardy was amazing as the villain, the Remans were scary-looking, and the crew of the Enterprise were as awesome as ever. What more can be said? [sp]Aside from the tears shed when Data sacrificed himself, I mean?[/sp]

Around 3.5/5.[/QUOTE] what's in the director's cut? to my understanding, it adds in more flashbacks with the necromongers and instead of riddick flying off to find furya he flies back to the necromongers somehow and learns that it was vaako or w/e karl urban's role is that set him up.

Schwimmer's actually a good director, have a look at a film called "Trust", very strong stuff. I've been meaning to see that film for ages..

I dare you to watch Star Trek 5 with the Plinket commentary. It's hilarious.

Memento: 8/10 I'd have to say that's probably the most explained abrupt ending I've seen in a movie

[B]Food Inc (2008)[/B] Docu film peeling back the layers of secrets, corruption and cruelty in the American food industry. Everything is covered from fast food, GMO's, Battery farming, slaughter houses, Monsanto and much more. The whole set up is revolting and never mind thinking of turning veggie, it makes you think about everything you eat. I thought my diet was very healthy but looking at what goes into even raw food makes you think. Next job is to find where all of my local farm shops are. This film will make you think, it is an excellent expose of the food industry. [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("jewdozer" - Rusty100))[/highlight]

Redline (2009) Really awesome. Absolutely top notch animation quality for an anime movie.

"You're Next" straight 5/10 It's a nice idea but the movie is an incoherent and often downright dumb clusterfuck in pretty much everything, writing, direction, acting. Especially the dialogues. I think the reason is that neither the writers nor the director are smart enough for the new take it has on slasher movies and that's a damn shame. It should've been done by someone with more of a vision.

All Vaako wanted was out.

The Warriors 8.5/10 good movie

A movie isn't worth watching if only 1/3rd of it is tolerable in any way.

good thing the entirety of you're next is awesome

Jurassic Park 3D - 9/10 Still up there as one of my favourite Spielberg films.

Apollo 18 - 8/10 [sp]fuuuck those noises holy shit. the atmosphere was perfect, kept me tense[/sp]
