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

[QUOTE=Yogkog;45038927]I always thought it was weird how much more grounded in reality Vol 2 was in comparison to the first. When [sp]The Bride kills Bill with the exploding heart technique, I was expecting something completely over the top, with blood everywhere, but then he just fell to the ground.[/sp] Considering the insanity of Vol 1, especially the Crazy 88 fight, watching the climax of Vol 2 was the opposite of what you'd expect.[/QUOTE] that's the problem of watching kill bill in two movies it was meant to be viewed as one long flick, QT needs to fucking release the whole bloody affair already, you fucking cunt, quit holding out on us.

Mr. Nobody. Not the last movie I saw but I was thinking about it earlier. I think I'll be long dead before I can decide if I liked this movie or not :v: Well... Not entirely true. I like a bunch of it and didn't like a buch more of it. I would have liked it a lot more if it was somehow condensed into a short film, but it dragged like hell with its near 3 hour runtime... It often felt like it lost direction and started being a different movie whenever it felt like it. I get the feeling if it was shorter it would at least feel more consistent. But there was a lot going on, shortening it would be tough no doubt. Still a neat movie with some interesting ideas going for it. Probably won't be among my top movies, but defibately memorable. Would I recommend it? If you're the type of person who can appreciate a slow artsy fartsy indie film, and have a strong attention span and the free time to spend watching it, sure. But I can't say its a movie for everyone.

[I]Changeling[/I] 8/10 Everyone was pretty good, even the kids for the most part, and they have the greatest chances of making a movie horrible. It got tiresome after a while because every male character was a hardass, so you just have a bunch of hardasses being hardasses to each other. Plus, the two main plotlines were stealing each other's thunder constantly. [I]Chef[/I] 8/10 Entertaining and heartfelt, with a great character arc. At some points, it gets a bit nonsensical and you lose track of how much time has actually been passing, and begins to just bombard you with a constant stream of events. There's quite a few cameos and references peppered in, which is always enjoyable. Sofia Vergara was not good in this. My experience was also slightly affected due to the incredibly awful pre-movie programming and the fact that I could hear rumblings from [I]Godzilla[/I] in the theater next to mine. [I]Thor: The Dark World[/I] 7/10 Bigger and better than the first one, though there were enough annoying cheeseball bits to knock it down from 8/10. They should have just secretly switched Natalie Portman with Kat Dennings, because I like Kat way more. [I]Charlie and the Chocolate Factory[/I] (the newer one) 5/10 Not bad, competent, mostly visually appealing, but good god, everyone was so boring. You forget that the titular character is even in the movie because he does literally nothing interesting until the very end. It does the same thing as the modern [I]Three Stooges[/I] movie, by which I mean taking wacky unrealistic stuff and plopping them into a very real world, in which no one is phased in the least by all the crazy crap going on that they've never seen before. If they wanted me to feel cold and bored, they did a great job. [I]The World's End[/I] 6/10 It's eh. I like the audio and visuals for the most part, and there's lots of great humor, but I don't like any of the characters. They're not interesting, save for Gary King. It's just that he's supposed to be an absolutely unlikeable ass that deserves nothing more than your pity and wants none of it. It also does not have enough moments where the movie just simmers and lets you take it in.

Amazing Spiderman 2 I ignored everything everyone said because I saw Rhino and I like Rhino I went and rented it, even though it costed like 10 bucks for 2 days and everyone told me not to, because I liked Rhino And I then I saw Rhino. 3/10.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;45040541] You forget that the titular character is even in the movie because he does literally nothing interesting until the very end. [/QUOTE] This is true in every Tim Burton movie where Jhonny Deep is given even as much as a secondary role

Tim Burton shits on everything he touches when it's not his own thing from the start.

[U]Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2[/U]- 8/10 Had some great puns, it looked pretty, had adorable "animals", and made fun of Apple. That's about all there was to it, otherwise it's just a decent movie. [video=youtube;4c1dqJPsSa4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c1dqJPsSa4[/video]

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;45042349]Tim Burton shits on everything he touches when it's not his own thing from the start.[/QUOTE] Sweeny Todd was pretty good tho

[B]X2/X-Men 2/X-Men United/Whatever[/B] 6/10 For some reason I always saw parts of this movie but never the whole thing. People give it a lot of praise but First Class remains my favourite X-Men movie (I still haven't seen DOFP). There are a lot of silly moments that I found distracting and a lot of plotholes that come with introducing a character that can teleport.

[QUOTE=Blazedol;45039410]Maybe the writing wasn't top-tier quality in terms of drama, but Calvin Candie is one of my favorite movie villains ever.[/QUOTE] Candie isn't the main villain of Django Unchained!! He was a pawn! Stephen was the big bad

Robocop (2014) 7/10 I actually really liked it, a lot more than I thought I would since I saw the first full trailer, and a million times more that I thought I would when I first heard it was actually going to happen. Glad that it is a totally different story with nods to the original rather than a rehash trying to hard to modernise the original, worked much better than expected. Although no Robocop movie will ever come close to the original, I'd look forward to a sequal because I would like to know how they would progress the story arch.

[QUOTE=mikeyt493;45039069] then again he did say he was gonna quit at 50 cos people start sucking at that point but he's 51 and still gonna make more so we will see lol[/QUOTE] He said he was quitting at 60.

During my ban, I had another movie night. Pompeii - 4/10 Sorry to say but Kit Harington is not a great actor. He has maybe 2 facial expressions. Voice acting might serve him a lot better. Kiefer Sutherland is a villain so cartoonish you'd almost expect him to strangle puppies with one hand and have a spoon of cereal in the other during breakfast (though he visibly enjoys doing so) and the other characters are just forgettable. It's visually VERY pleasing though. Establishing shots and overviews of the disaster are very well shot and a joy to look at, despite some moments that are more hilarious than they should be. At one point, an earthquake rumbles towards the sea, causing a giant wave to come back towards the city (geologists, prepare to eat your hair at that one) and one boat swept with it floats perfectly down a street and perfectly plugs a hole. This isn't the sort of stuff Paul WS Anderson should be making. Death Race - 7/10 This, on the other hand, [b]is[/b] what he should be making. Give me a very simple plot, characters that are barely above cardboard and at best serviceable acting and use it to set up kick-ass action. The chases look great, the effects are cool, it all comes together quite nicely. Sin City - 8/10 Oh my god, this movie is so fucking awesome. Not sure what its beef is against testicles but I was really surprised at this. Someday I want to find John Moore, rub my copy of this in his face and yell at him about how this is how you do film noir you fucking idiot. Everything in this works so well, it's almost bizarre. I didn't know Elijah Wood could be that scary, let alone without a single word of dialogue.

[QUOTE=Pops;45043119]may just be me but sleepy hollow was pretty fuckin good[/QUOTE] Sweeney Todd and Sleepy Hollow don't really count because they're part of local folklore, they aren't modern works of fiction. Apart from "it's a barber that killed people" and "it's a horseman without a head", there isn't exactly much going on in these two cultural things, so there's little room to actually fuck up. The ghost bride isn't his own idea either but it's a great movie nonetheless. Stuff like batman, charlie and the chocolate factory, alice in wonderland, planet of the apes, dark shadows are all terrible interpretations of the source material and with the exception of Batman they're all terrible standalone movies (Batman is a good show on its own, it's just not a good Batman movie). Every now and then he actually pulls something off that's good and not originally his own work but the general rule is, when Burton tries to reinterpret something that he hasn't come up with, he fucks up in every possible way.

Apocalypto Last night I was so bored I decided to put all my hate for Mel Gibson aside and watch his movie Apocalypto. I didn't know much about it going in, I didn't know it was about the Mayans or anything. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised by this movie! This is how movie making should be done! Very intense almost the entire way through. I know some people have claims about the historical accuracy of the movie and brutal way in which the Mayans are portrayed, maybe some liberties were taken, but I feel nonetheless it works wonderfully, and the chase that is the second half of the movie is really a ride. Good all around. 8/10

is anyone else gonna see The Faults In Our Stars im gonna see it so I can slam it in a biased and emotionally charged review. im also about to watch Pain & Gain with legitimate expectations of a good movie because I hate myself.

secretly rather enjoyed pain and gain

I wanna see what you think of it.

I've not seen it but I plan on it, I'm interested. Also I'm literally just seeing tfios so I can shit over more John Green because he deserves it for being a piece of shit scum bag and a terrible author. (ps thank you for appreciating my shitposting <3) [editline]10th June 2014[/editline] Also u thoroughly enjoyed Pain & Gain! On my phone and going to bed but.I'll write up tomorrow. Sitting on a [B]7/10[/B] for now.

I thought Pain & Gain was like a 6.5. It was really weird. It was like a weirder and less competently filmed Wolf of Wall Street. It was a pretty mean film but I guess I can understand why considering it's a Bay film. Michael Bay is a weird director. He's horrendous but very stylized, it's a love/hate relationship.

pain and gain was insultingly bad. just imagine for a second what it would be like if michael bay tried to make a dark comedy there you have pain and gain. a despicably awful COMEDY film made about a guy who is still on death row, right now! what the fuck!

What the hell did Michael Bay smoke to make him think he should make a comedy?

Red Dawn (2012) I don't think I've watched any remake done worse than this. 0/10

Iron Man 2- 7.3/10 To be honest it's only slightly worse than the first but since we don't get that surprise factor of the movie it seems lower. I made it a point to see it in theaters because the experience is better there than at my house due to sound and such. I mean, contrary to what others say I found the humor to be good in a lot places. The action was good, the ending a little anti-climactic. I feel Don Cheadle is the superior Rhodes. But his part was severely under written. Sam Rockwell is outstanding as usual. I was confused because Oliva Munn is just a reporter when I thought she was Iron Maiden. And Scarlett Jo.... goddam! All in all, decent.

Guess what, I enjoyed Pain and Gain

And you should feel bad about it. [editline]10th June 2014[/editline] it's just Micheal Bay looking down on these people going "look how dumb these murderers are its hilarious that this REALLY happened" Fuck Micheal Bay.

Drop, 6/10 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYGK9BXaYKU[/media] Goes on way too long and has too many obvious, unnecessary plot threads that either go nowhere, or just take up time. But the action is kickass, and so are the characters.
