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

Lone Survivor 5/10 Yeah I ain't buying any of this shit. Do they really have to buff up the seals to be some kind of übermensch that can take several direct hits and still keep going for quite some time. I bet they are the elite of the elite in the military, but blood loss kills you really fast, and these guys just kept going like clockwork. I had kind of hoped this had been more of a realistic point of view, kinda like Generation Kill or something. But instead it's your average 'Muricah killing Taliban in shooty shoot bang bang 2. [editline]10th September 2014[/editline] Swear to god the taliban fires like 20-30 rockets in this movie.

you realize (besides the ending at the village and a few other minor things) what happened to those guys is true? one of the guys that was killed went to a highschool near where i live (eric bana's character) human beings are tougher than you might think and some are capable of getting shot 10 times and still fight, even if that's hard for you to believe. it's about as realistic as you can get considering the one who survived provided a step by step breakdown of the events, plus a whole team of military advisers made sure they got everything right. [B][B]generation kill[/B][/B] is completely different considering it's following like an entire battalion of marines in iraq instead of four lone seals so i don't really understand how you can compare those. you're complaining that it showed americans killing taliban but honestly wtf were you expecting to see i dont even get this read up on the full story online brew. i feel like i post this every 10 pages but it really grinds my gears

[QUOTE=drutehtkehs;45936558]wouldn't bother this guy tbh, he says in another thread that godzilla was enjoyable[/QUOTE] but godzilla was enjoyable, why should it affect how people think of lone survivor? also at the meps for my state there's a room named in honor of mike murphy, booster you have down's syndrome.

I bet it was super heroic, but I doubt it was like in the movie.

Why do you doubt it? There are countless stories of people getting hurt beyond belief and continuing on. Adrenaline and training can do a lot. Like this guy: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Inouye[/url] [quote]On April 21, 1945, Inouye was grievously wounded while leading an assault on a heavily-defended ridge near San Terenzo in Tuscany, Italy, called the Colle Musatello. The ridge served as a strongpoint of the German fortifications known as the Gothic Line, the last and most unyielding line of German defensive works in Italy. As he led his platoon in a flanking maneuver, three German machine guns opened fire from covered positions 40 yards away, pinning his men to the ground. Inouye stood up to attack and was shot in the stomach. Ignoring his wound, he proceeded to attack and destroy the first machine gun nest with hand grenades and his Thompson submachine gun. When informed of the severity of his wound, he refused treatment and rallied his men for an attack on the second machine gun position, which he successfully destroyed before collapsing from blood loss. As his squad distracted the third machine gunner, Inouye crawled toward the final bunker, coming within 10 yards. As he raised himself up and cocked his arm to throw his last grenade, a German soldier inside the bunker fired a rifle grenade, which struck his right elbow, nearly severing most of his arm and leaving his primed grenade reflexively "clenched in a fist that suddenly didn't belong to me anymore".[12] Inouye's horrified soldiers moved to his aid, but he shouted for them to keep back out of fear his severed fist would involuntarily relax and drop the grenade. While the German inside the bunker reloaded his rifle, Inouye pried the live grenade from his useless right hand and transferred it to his left. As the enemy soldier aimed his rifle at him, Inouye tossed the grenade into the bunker and destroyed it. He stumbled to his feet and continued forward, silencing the last German resistance with a one-handed burst from his Thompson before being wounded in the leg and tumbling unconscious to the bottom of the ridge. He awoke to see the worried men of his platoon hovering over him. His only comment before being carried away was to order them back to their positions, saying "nobody called off the war!"[13] The remainder of Inouye's mutilated right arm was later amputated at a field hospital without proper anesthesia, as he had been given too much morphine at an aid station and it was feared any more would lower his blood pressure enough to kill him.[/quote]

I'm not sure if that would be stupider than what actually happened or not.

Ok Captain America. Training can make you numb to bullet wounds, but it wont ignore blood loss. [editline]10th September 2014[/editline] But enough, we could be arguing about this for months.

[B]How to Train Your Dragon 2[/B] Do I need to say anything? This movie was really fucking good

Million Dollar Arm It was all right, but I feel like I ruined the viewing experience for myself because my friend and I were alone in the cinema and we were basically commentating the film and making snide comments any time anything stupid happened. Jon Hamm was alright, he made me want to watch Mad Men.

godzilla 2014 could've had an hour of a retard hammering his toy dinosaurs together and its apologists would still have called it "build-up"

i liked godzilla 2014

Star Trek Into Darkness - 7/10 I enjoyed the 2009 film better but it was a good sequel regardless. Not knowing a lot about the film beforehand, I was a bit bummed when it was revealed that [sp]Benedict Cumberbatch's character was revealed to be Khan.[/sp] I felt they were just trying to cram Star Trek lore into the film at that point. Otherwise, some great special effects and cool action sequences make the rest of the film enjoyable.

Can A Song Save You Life? 6.5/10 I'm all for music movies. However this one... I don't know, it was good, it had good actors, it had good music but...ugh. It's too overproduced. It tries to be "Once", one of the best romance/music movies ever made but it fails to see where Once shined: in the mellow character study, in the simplicity. CASSYL tries to evoke the magic folkmusic romance feeling but its script doesn't allow for that. There are too many parts that take you out of the flow, beginning with showing a scene from several points of view, which is a nice technincality but breaks flow. Then there's flashbacks all over the place, once again taking away from the atmosphere and simplicity that would go well with what it's trying to be. And as for the actors, that stupid Maroon 5 motherfucker is made for his role but I (and a lot of people in the theater when they realized that it's him) dislike him too much. And then there's how they shoehorned all of the music he's written/sung into the second half of the movie..ugh. It's all over the place and so is this review. [editline]11th September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=elitehakor;45940835]i liked godzilla 2014[/QUOTE] I like its approach to the monster stuff by not making it focused on Godzilla itsef but there are so so many "ugh why are they doing that" moments in that movie. I don't know, it's just a bit too much "now this happens and now we are here and that happens" without a good connection for me.

[b]The Rover (2014)[/b] I came across a trailer for this movie while watching the clip for Guy Pearce's new song, that was the first and only time I've heard about it. It's a good movie, but it could've benefitted from better design and pacing. It's very calm and slightly dystopian. Guy Pearce and Robin Pattinson did great, because they looked (and acted) very differently.

I feel like Godzilla could have been a good film if they hadn't fucked up the human story so badly. If the film had focused on someone who was actually interesting who could actually act, then it could have been great. Personally, I think a great monster movie could start out as a simple kitchen sink drama, with hints to giant monster destruction on tv and new reports scattered around for the audience to pick out and then suddenly in the last 20 minutes it gets bat shit insane with monster fights and destruction porn. Basically, someone should make Kill List with giant monsters. EDIT: PS the greatest monster movie since the original Gojira is Monsters (2010), come at me nerds

im a huge breaking bad fan but i dont think Cranston was that good in Godzilla. I don't get the hype.

[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;45950818] EDIT: PS the greatest monster movie since the original Gojira is Monsters (2010), [/QUOTE] this is a very good film.

Literally the only character with any depth whatsoever [editline]11th September 2014[/editline] If we're going on performance though his wife is the best actor in that film and she got even less screen time than Cranston

Rewatch the movie again and count how many scenes there are of people staring into the off and then turning their heads towards another off.

count how many times u jujst want those kids to get killed hint its 1 big constant throughout the whole film

I think it was solid, it just needed the "human drama" part to be less ... done-a-thousand-times and a bit more caring for actual story instead of scene after scene
