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

it came out in 2002

I know, but I watched it in 2014, haha. I mean if I saw it when it first came out I may have liked it more, but as it stands now, it's not anything special to me.

so the movie sucks because it isnt as good as a few that came out a decade later okay

[QUOTE=Scot;46735543]so the movie sucks because it isnt as good as a few that came out a decade later okay[/QUOTE] who cares. anyway I'm on season 4 of Oz... man this is heavy shit. :O

[QUOTE=AK'z;46735564]who cares.[/QUOTE] oh sorry i thought i was in the thread for discussing movies

Movies that have come out since have taken the same idea and done it better, I don't see the problem in thinking that I agree you should always take art in context of the time it was made, but I don't think it really applies here. I didn't appreciate the film for what it was, regardless of the timeframe it was made in, and the fact that movies made since have done what it tried to do better, that further condemns it, nahmsayin'?

Sherlock Holmes 4/5 I really like this movie. It's not perfect, but it's great fun. RDJ and Jude Law own the roles and Guy Ritchie's fast paced direction fits the story perfectly.

Eli Roth is a fucking hack, but Cabin Fever is kinda fun.

how is Eli Roth a hack he doesn't even have much of a career lol (not saying that as a jab at him necessarily) he's made a couple silly horror movies (and produced a bunch, I assume this is where the majority of his money comes from) with absolutely no pretensions and had a supporting role in Inglourious Basterds? Not a really notable career he's just friends with Tarantino lol

I actually didn't mind him too much in Inglorious Basterds.

I thought his acting was bad in IB but it didn't detract from anything, that movie still owns

I thought he fit his character. Everyone is pretty hammy in that movie.

[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;46736757]I actually didn't mind him too much in Inglorious Basterds.[/QUOTE]He was awful in the scene with the baseball bat, but his performance was much better in the scene in cinema.

I liked his kinda "I'm scared but angry" performance in that scene, it's just when he starts yelling about baseball is when it turned bad.

yea but just imagine Adam Sandler in that scene

tbh Adam Sandler directed by Tarantino would probably be pretty good, Sandler gave a genuinely fantastic performance in Punch Drunk Love. Oscar nom worthy imo (but not a win)

Sandler can give a decent performance, when he cares. But when he's just on paid holidays with his buddies from SNL - he doesn't give a damn, and let's be frank, who would?

Adam Sandler can act (Click) but when you can take 80 million dollars and turn it into a movie with 7 Razzie nominations, yet still rakes in 247 million, I can't entirely blame him for continuously doing that.

yea he literally doesnt give a shit it's genuinely a big scam for him to just go away and have fun with his friends and get paid ridiculous amounts of money to do it. i get it tbh

hobbit 3 ugh i think this is the first movie i've seen where practical effects are jarring

[QUOTE=Hoboiam;46736861]I thought his acting was bad in IB but it didn't detract from anything, that movie still owns[/QUOTE] better than his 5 minute role in piranha 3d

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;46736609]No. Cabin Fever just sucks. [editline]17th December 2014[/editline] Eli Roth sucks.[/QUOTE] cabin fever is great sorry

Zodiac - 8/10 Score would have been higher if it had been entirely fictional instead of following the real case so closely. I already knew about the case and most of its intricacies so there wasn't really any tension. Other than that the movie was fantastic on absolutely every regard.

Edge of Tomorrow it was alright, reminded me a lot of District 9, wondering if they reused any of the same effects? though, I wonder how shitty the CGI will look in a few years time I wasn't too keen on watching it initially because Tom Cruise = standard Blockbuster, but it was okay, can't expect anything amazing from it gonna go check out the tv tropes page for it now

The Hobbit: Battle Of The Five Armies Or Up-Close Reaction Faces: The Movie 6/10 I absolutely enjoyed the film despite the love interest and whatnot, but I noticed this in Desolation of Smaug as well...at least 60% of the damn movie is reaction faces. I couldn't stop noticing. It got to a hilarious point at [sp]the death of the first dwarf, where there's at least 5 split-second cuts to Thorin's face going "UGHHHH"[/sp], which was probably supposed to be a very serious section. I guess I'm okay with it. If I could change absolutely anything, I wish they would've put the intro in the previous film. Smaug just kinda loses his power when thrown into a completely new movie.

The honest trailer sums up my opinions on the second movie quite nicely: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFAGVVt0HvA[/media]

Haven't seen Five Armies yet but I felt DoS was superior to the first. The progression seemed better, there was less dramatic monologue. Within the first half hour they were actually doing stuff and going somewhere.

DoS was redeemed by everything after they got to the mountain imo. A lot of it was stupid but at least it was fun.

I still maintain my position that the hobbit movies are crap
