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

Probably. I didn't mind all the snap-zooms and I didn't think there were any unfitting sound effects. And, for the sake of argument, Kevin Costner was by far the best actor in the film.

[QUOTE=kimchimafia;41052748]Is this drinking game lethal?[/QUOTE] I lost count after around 10 snap-zooms. Yes. This game is lethal.

I did enjoy all of Shannon as Zod.

[QUOTE=kimchimafia;41052836]Some people are saying that Michael Shannon was really good too.[/QUOTE] Actually, I did like him.

I am about to watch True Romance (Not a Chick Flick) Witch is one of my favorite movies of all time. 10/10 [url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108399/[/url]

The Mummy Returns: 10/10 Awesome movie, always love watching it when it's on. Great action scenes, good comedy, and cool supernatural villians.

Falling Down again. 9/10

Taxi Driver - no judgement passed. My second watching - I'd first made the mistake of thinking the movie to be a straight-up piece of portraiture of NYC at its nadir, and certainly the po-faced commentary and simply the man in untenable juxtaposition didn't help. So I ended up getting jack-shit but sudden psychopathy. But of course that's sheer fucking idiocy on my behalf: a man provoked and contorted helplessly out of control, inconsistency and his inherent opposition's precisely the point of the movie, and anything else's fed up to the brilliant shock of the man attempting to make something of it - now, of course, you have the sheer intellectual joy of working overtime stitching the pieces together. (And we'd argue that his attempts at talking up Betsy - he makes the best case for it, really he does, for he speaks of truth and meaning even though it has to fray at the edges - speak of inherent liberalism, but judgment must always check that with cynicism. The best he can do in the end is an ersatz substitute. It's a pity not even a good amount of mental disorder can make the dream real.)

[QUOTE=Over-Run;41058466]Could somebody recommend something that's a bit more twisty turny and shit, not The Impossible. I'm talking some Oldboy shit[/QUOTE] dude, those tidal waves did twist and turn... [editline]16th June 2013[/editline] got back from my viewing of [B]Zack Snyder's Man of Steel[/B] Since, words can't come out just yet...except from "Fuck Rotten Tomatoes", I have constructed a graph of my Xperience. :) [IMG]http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o202/akayz_people/MANOSTEEL.png?t=1371418641[/IMG] Key points: Lack of memorable score - Hans Zimmer is dropping into "dude who can provide, but nothing special does the job". Genuine, driven acting - Costner is such a brilliant screen actor, it's sad that he wasn't a more prominent hollywood actor. Crowe & Shannon, solid as a rock. Caville wasn't "other-worldly", but really put the last piece of the puzzle where it was meant to be. Few unfocused action moments - If the action was a bit more fluid in places, the real power of them could have had a tighter grip. 3D was relevent in some places, pointless in most - Where it flourished (obviously) is where 3D has some point to it, but when it's there just to "push people back" during a conversation... what's the point.. Out of body experience - Yes, it compared to my skydiving experience.. To conclude: I only saw the teaser trailer, and even THAT was misguiding, had a vastly different feel to most of this film. It felt in places what "Star Trek Into Darkness" should have been, but aside from Sci-Fi cliches... this was a bold, loud yet graceful film that makes Superman Returns seem like that itch that you can't scratch. (really) I don't feel I'll ever watch this on the small screen because I know it won't do anything for me. In fact, anything less than IMAX... I'm not kidding around.. will bring this film in a lower place for me.

Man of Steel: 7/10. Not as good as I was expecting. There were a lot of parts I loved, like the action sequences and the bar scene, but I felt that things escalated far too quickly for there to be any emotional attachment to anything. And there was waaaaaaaay too much focus on Superman being an alien, and waaaaaaaaay too much showboating of the US military. Reminded me of Transformers in that regard. Plus, they butchered quite a bit of the established "lore" behind Superman, mostly of the nature of Kryptonians as a whole. Just way too many things that felt wrong about it. I could go on, but it would get far too revealing and far too involved. That being said, I loved Henry Cavill as Superman. The action was great like I said, and the special effects were amazing. Would recommend for average moviegoer, would be hesitant to recommend for someone well acquainted with Superman.

Disappointment from things that can easily be forgotten about though. (him being an alien was the whole concept too...) After Superman Returns, my expectations were Transformers 2. more proof of RT dumbness: [quote]Superman Returns received positive reviews from film critics. Based on 257 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, 75% of the reviewers enjoyed the film.[/quote]

Hey AK'z, Reeve or Cavill? [editline]16th June 2013[/editline] Also the lore is mix matched with various forms of Krypton. Especially's Byrne. The ending status with Superman and Lois reminded me a lot of The K-metal from Krypton.

The ending status with Superman and Lois reminded me a lot of The K-metal from Krypton.[/QUOTE] Reeve's Supes is gold. His interpretation has a personal significance for me as well as many people I'm sure. His mask as Clark Kent really felt like an entirely new person and this performance makes you feel he is being someone else for a purpose. I know that's the point of the character but for someone to capture that sense wholeheartedly is really something. Caville was highly authentic, I expected wax and emptiness like BRondon Ruth but he really worked into the character and even though [sp]there's not much Supe performance[/sp], his human evolution into the super man worked smoothly. Again, nothing "woah there", but well-oiled and true.

Y'know I'm kinda glad that they didnt have the bumbling mild mannered reporter Clark Kent. As soon as someone puts up an act like that, my head immediately goes to Reeve. It would've been detrimental to Cavill.

After earth was terrible... 2/5 stars. I think Will Smith wrote the story on the toilet.

eXistenZ - 7.5/10 I'm not sure if Nolan got his inspiration for Inception directly from this movie, but I can see why many people compare the two. I haven't seen many of Cronenberg's movies, but it's quite clear this was more an experiment than anything else. The majority of the time I was just asking myself "what?", "why?" and "where is this going?", but at the same time I was really intrigued to find out what was going to happen. The ending answers most questions, but I still have the feeling some strange choices were made regarding the plot and overall direction. First of all it's creepy and weird as hell, full of unrecognizable creatures and shit crawling everywhere. I got the same feeling in Total Recall when some weird alien would show up. Not that it's a bad thing, since it all makes sense in the end as to why it's like this and all, but it's just creepy. I have to say the general idea was great (not sure if it's entirely original, but...), the execution was good and I enjoyed it quite a lot, but it could have been better.
