frankenweenie - 7/10 very entertaining family film, fantastic character design and also pretty touching. wish theyd have [sp]kept the dog dead at the end, would've retained a pretty grown up message about moving on.[/sp]

Whiplash - 8/10 finally went to see it, great great GREAT movie and im def gonna check out his previous film about frodo playing piano or som shit

Hobbit 3 6/10 Sadly. I wanted to give it more but I can't, the movie has so so many obvious flaws. Spoilers in this shit. Originally I had no problem with them making 3 movies out of the book and I would've stayed that way if they had done it right. But they didn't. The [B]movie is full of pointless filler[/B], the most obvious one being one of the far far far too many comic relieve characters, the "mayors assistant". I'll come to that later. More pointless filler is the fight scenes. The whole battle is full of action where absolutely nothing happens, the fight of Legolas with that one orc, the big battle dwarves vs orcs and so on and so on. Then there is the way[B] the movie can't decide whether it wants to be an epic fantasy movie or a childrens books adaption[/B]. Comedic scenes and gruesome suffering go next to each other far too often, it totally breaks immersion. Examples: When the lake town gets destroyed. It's a pretty epic scene, everyone is fleeing, guy saves everyone and his son, city burns in quite spectacular scenes and then there is a comedic scene where the dragon falls ontop of the "bad" mayor who tries to save a cartoonish giant load of gold on a boat. Thanks Peter, the ambiguity of killing one of the last majestic and ancient creatures and seeing it tumble towards Earth wasn't that good of a feeling, I sure did like it more to see Stephen Fry crushed with his boat. 5 minutes later, suffering and death as the next day breaks, fires, drowned people, dead children. Haha lets laugh at the mayors assistant. This goes on throughout the movie on and on and on. Later he somehow is the only guy of hundreds of humans who has to do night watch, sleeps and overlooks the thousands of elves, hahaha, funny, right? It goes hand in hand with the[B] weird morals of the movie when it comes to violence[/B], at least in the cut I saw. Somehow there is no problem in showing orcs getting beheaded, crippled, burned and crushed but when one of the dwarves or any humanoid creature gets killed(and the dwarv scene is quite important for the dramatics) it awkwardly cuts away. Why. All I could do was think about that awkward cut. Then there's [B]the shoehorned love subplot[/B] which ends up with no solution or rather.... a very bad one and most importantly with no consequences for anyone you would care about. And in cinematography I feel like [B]the movie dwelled so much in computer generated images [/B]of the town, the creatures, the castles, the halls and often at the wrong time totally taking you out of the few emotions the movie tries to evoke. Exemplary for that is maybe when some kids are in danger and the human who killed Smaug can't throw or shoot anything(like it's done in other situations in the same movie) but rather jumps on a hundreds of years old horse carriage and has a rollercoaster-like ride towards them so he can save them, almost killing the kids in the process when in the 90 minutes before all he was telling them was to "be careful". And the fight scenes. They make no sense. There's one scene where the orcs are running towards the dwarven army, the dwarves all forming a wall of spears, the orcs are going to have a hard time. Nope. Awkward scene of elves jumping over the dwarves filmed in frog perspective. The reason? A little scene where the elven king is undecided on whether to fight or not. [B]Sacrificing world integrity for artificial dramatic moments.[/B] Just great. The only things I can really applaud for is set design, costumes, locations, again set and prop design, animations and all that is basically not script or camera. Good scenes that really get you are those where they fight Saurons ghost, the point where the dwarven king realizes what he's doing wrong and that's about it. The final fight of dwarv-king whatshisname has a really really strong moment, very mellow, very subtle that really makes you [I]feel[/I] but Jackson or whatever hack is behind the script ruins it with a shitty "surprise motherfucker here I am AGAIN" scene leading to more pointless - well choreographed, propped and filmed but pointless - fighting. Gah.

sounds exactly like the first 2 hobbit films

Forgot to mention the "fly in your face" 3D effects and how there's at least a dozen scenes where the foreground is extremely detailed but the details fade off in the back. It got to the point where I thought "oh look another skelleton near the camera". [QUOTE=mikeyt493;46686895]sounds exactly like the first 2 hobbit films[/QUOTE] Yeah well the first two ones where more fairy-tale like but now in the context of a huge battle and a complete town getting eradicated it really shows. Great images. Great great great images that end up being empty. The Transformers equivalent of the fantasy genre.

[QUOTE=Killuah;46686943]"oh look another skelleton near the camera".[/QUOTE] booking my tickets now

one thing I don't like about the Hobbit films is how they're obsessed with making pointless nods and references to the LOTR trilogy, they just feel shoehorned in. admittedly more present in Hobbit 1 than Hobbit 2 tho.

Watched Drive for the first time 10/10 Loved the shots and the colors! So many moments in this film i want to frame.

The Princess Bride 5/5 Haven't watched this one in a while, so I popped it in. Never gets old.

Elbow rocket is my favorite fucking thing ever

pacific rim is the definition of popcorn entertainment which is why it's so great, it risks absolutely nothing and still comes off as good.

[B]Gone Girl - hawt/10[/B] This was a pretty good movie. I did not hate Ben Affleck at any point for simply being Ben Affleck. He did the "regular doofus" thing really well. Rosamund Pike gave me terror-induced boners.

He was a shitty husband that was victimized by a psychopath, and she was an extremely intelligent (but crazy) person who acted out against the man that dragged her out of her prosperous and happy East Coast life and into the butthole of the country. I liked that angle. [/sp]
