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

[QUOTE=Covalent;46545070]As Above, So Below how do these movies get made - 2/10[/QUOTE] They're easy to make enticing trailers out of.

[QUOTE=Scot;46545206]They're easy to make enticing trailers out of.[/QUOTE] The trailer made it seem actually alright. Watching it through and through was like a train wreck. I'll admit, it had one part that made me feel un easy only because I have claustrophobia.

Gladiator 4/5

hes australian. he's been american in a lot of stuff too

[QUOTE=Rusty100;46547500]hes australian. he's been american in a lot of stuff too[/QUOTE] When you think about it, despite being overall meh The Dark Knight Rises had pretty great cast of lesser known actors in smaller roles - Ben Mendelsohn, Burn Gorman, Brett Cullen, Josh Stewart and Josh Penn giving them more of deserved fame.

[QUOTE=Pops;46549854]don't forget christopher judge[/QUOTE] Hardly a little known - same with Matthew Modine. [editline]22nd November 2014[/editline] [b]Reich[/b] from 2001 is a polish first real try at neo-noir. The script is shit, film overall is meh, but god damn the soundtrack is incredible.

true, but if you look at their careers since full metal jacket and stargate, all they've done is work you've never heard of.

So if anyone here even cares about the Hunger Games movies what did you guys think of Mockingjay: Part 1? I got dragged along to see it recently with loose knowledge from when I read the book about two years ago, felt like a run of the mill first part, with a pretty typical ending to boot. I haven't seen Catching Fire yet but from what I heard it sounds better than the first movie.

The ending of Catching Fire felt kinda abrupt to me

Troy 3.5/5 I wish this movie was better. Brad Pitt ain't great, Orlando Bloom isn't any better, Eric Bana and Diane Kruger at least try, but Sean Bean, Brian Cox and Brendan Gleeson are by far the best, even in they ham it up/are barely in the movie. Peter O'Toole is good as well. The action scenes are strange. One second, they are being done rather well and in the next they become ridiculous. Example: Ajax runs into the fray and crushes a couple of Trojans. Good. Then he stops everything and yells "I AM AJAX BREAKER OF STONES LOOK UPON ME AND DESPAIR!" Not good. Brad Pitt hacks off the head of a statue in an act of defiance. Good. He then looks to the sky and beats his chest and says "huh?" in a way that cannot be described as convincing. Not good. Also, people keep getting hit in the face with arrows. I don't know why, but it bugs me. I don't know. This movie shouldn't be likeable, yet somehow, it has charm to it. The grounded approach the movie takes by excluding the gods' subplot is something I really like. I like how guys like Achilles and Hector are not the epic heroes of tradition, but are more human. They are great warriors but don't enjoy their occupation. It's good material, but executed the wrong way. The writing tries to be old fashioned, but comes off as dumb. "You sack of wine" is one of the lamest insults in history and I don't care if it came from The Illiad, it sucks.

Filmslacker does try to justify liking really bad movies a lot tho like in an apologetic kind of way lol. No need for """guilty pleasures""" like if you think it's good then that's okay?? I've not seen troy but why do you have to clarify it's a guilty pleasure. Always putting some kind of disclaimer on his ratings... Just accept u like shitty movies

I saw a couple of movies Gone Girl It was really good. Nothing incredibly groundbreaking from Fincher this time but everything was held together really really well. The music (fantastic silent hill-esque), the tone, and of course Lynch's now distinctive direction all make this story, which is pretty good, soar. The actors all do a great job but Rosamund Pike steals the show. If the actress for Amy sucked then the whole movie would have fallen apart. I was hooked from the start and I enjoyed every minute of it. I had a great time with this. 8/10 John Wick I actually saw this movie twice now. I just thought it was amazing? It's an action movie sure but I loved everything about it. Great directional flair too from someone who's new at this thing. It's got everything I want in an 'action man takes revenge' movie. A likable actor in the lead, great fight choreography, well executed set pieces, interesting characters and hateful villains. The action is distinctive and I don't think I've seen a movie that mixed 'gun-kata' and martial arts like this before. Action scenes are stable and incredibly easy to follow. You won't miss out any of the cool shit John Wick does in the movie. It also had a pretty good soundtrack too. Everything worked and I feel like watching it again now. Also, the world in John Wick is pretty cool and most of it isn't built up via boring expositions. Oh and it's good to see Keanu in the lead of something good again. 9 or a 10/10 I can't decide right now

I don't understand how Interstellar is getting so good reviews from people who understand how awful the writing is The House of the Devil - 6/10 has the absolute best [sp]most surprising[/sp] death scene in any movie I've seen in a long time. Lot of things I'd want to change if I directed it, but overall pretty suspenseful.

[QUOTE=Hoboiam;46556582]I don't understand how Interstellar is getting so good reviews from people who understand how awful the writing is.[/QUOTE] Because in other aspects it was impeccable, stellar, making you forget about the atrocity of the writing - shifting your focus and memory to the epic moments like docking, like the scene with the videos, the music, the cinematography. And that's an achievement itself.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;46553635]it seems sort of like everything u watch is a guilty pleasure like an excuse for bad taste[/QUOTE] Imagine actually caring about what people like.

Interstellar 9/10 Wow. What an intense ride of amazing effects and a decent story. I think the only thing holding it back for being a ten was [sp]How Cooper was the ghost that was in the singularity when how the supposed "ancestors" set it up for him. Was Cooper "they" that they kept talking about, or was there an outside force that made it set up for them to figure out? Some of the exposition by the Ice Planet by Dr. Mann should also be cut down to bite sized chunks. [/sp] Other than that, it was a fairly enjoyable thrill-ride than can leave you thinking, despite most of it being mumbo-jumbo. It's a movie, so let's try not to take it too seriously. It was definitely a better film than "Bayformers: The Explosion of the Dong."

also [sp]the "they" was the fifth dimensional beings, the supposed evolved humans. the idea is they evolved past existing in 3 dimensions to 5, one of which is time, so time becomes something physical/tangible- thus they were able to communicate backwards in time.. or some shit[/sp]
