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

Pacific Rim 6/10 Fun movie but thats about it. Graphically not anything groundbreaking but im a sucker for giant robots and kaijus in general so it was a treat for me. Nothing I'd pay for again though. Maybe if its bluray was on sale i'd pick it up for behind the scenes shit like concept art etc. It really needed to expand more in different places but theres only so much you can do in 2hrs I suppose ...it could have went really sour but it didn't

After seeing The Amazing Spider-man, the Raimi movies are all dogshit.

Project X It's not really a "great" film but I thought it was a lot of fun 6/10

[QUOTE=LaTrefle;41468652]Revolver (Guy Ritchie) 8.5/10 Whole film is fucking outstanding. After i learned [sp]the whole film was a chess match all along, and Jake got rid of his ego, outmatching his opponent, and winning the match.[/sp] the film got into my first on my top 10.[/QUOTE] Jesus Christ that film is a piece of shit. Such a failure. You say you put it in the top 10.. I put it in my bottom 10. It's the biggest pile of nothing trying to be something I've ever seen. It's like Guy Ritchie went to one beginner course on philosophy and decided he's a genius. What a twat. He's like a 17 year old psychology student thinking he's the smartest man alive and above all these plebian hollywood goers who see Transformers or whatever. I think it's truly terrible but I won't be able to sum up my thoughts nearly as well as Kermode did- He is SO right. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooPdPYZpR2s[/media] It's a failure. That is how I'd describe it. There's not one element it excels in. Honestly, it's a total disgrace and a mess. I almost feel bad for Guy Ritchie, how big a fuck up it is. He must have just read a couple quotes by intellectuals and decided he was an intellectual himself (he isn't). There is no actual philosophy or deeper thinking in this film. It's shallow nothingness through and through. Chucking some old sayings in your film doesn't make it deep or smart. Now, call me pretentious, or high and mighty, or elitist, or whatever, but this is basically Babby's First Art Film- it reminds me of Cloud Atlas and my thoughts on that. It's for people who don't watch actually smart or intellectual film (generally) and it makes that viewer feel smart and interesting and know things about cinema because that watched this convoluted trash that's all different and switches the standard narrative up (Something in these films I'd call "a mess") cos they're like "yeah I understood that film!! Im clever!! I know about ART!"

[QUOTE=AK'z;41469507]apparently that film is really hated by people, then I see a few people thinking it's the greatest film he did.[/QUOTE] I personally think his Holmes movies are the best

[QUOTE=The_Marine;41480687]After seeing The Amazing Spider-man, the Raimi movies are all dogshit.[/QUOTE] aaaaand your opinion is now invalidated.

It didn't seem like it tried to be artsy at all in any way, it was just a simple crime thriller with a maybe a bit too complicated attempt at a more complicated story. Also that guy said that Snatch and Lock Stock were bad so fuck him.

Honestly mikey I think you read way too deeply into stuff. Not every movie has some ~deep introspective artistic value~. What happened to just watching good movies? You sound some English teacher going into huge elaborate details about stuff the author never intended. Its like the blue curtains joke

The Machinist: 8/10 Unbelievable performance by Christian Bale. Made even more incredible when you realise how much weight he lost for the role. It's the most weight loss any actor has ever underwent for a role. Such dedication to his profession.

he studies it you wallaby... there's nothing wrong with digging deeper than "awww that's nice you should see it". I'd rather read someone who put brain cells into their films. [editline]16th July 2013[/editline] then again.. it is a Guy Ritchie film we're talking about..

[QUOTE=AK'z;41484375]then again.. it is a Guy Ritchie film we're talking about..[/QUOTE] What the hell is that supposed to mean?

just to chime in, the amazing spiderman is really badly written. the characters are all over the place and inconsistent, there are way too many lucky coincidences, and the villain sucked. spiderman 2 is best

I definitely agree some films are masterfully laid out but not everything is, and don't mistake some piece of trash for an artistic masterpiece Also, I'm not a wallaby I'm a parrot :colbert:

[QUOTE=Pops;41482777]aaaaand your opinion is now invalidated.[/QUOTE] Sorry, I can't stand Toby McGuire and hated his portrayal of Peter Parker. Andrew Garfield did it so much better. And Kirsten Dunst made the movies that much more unwatchable with how horrid her character was written. Spider-man 2 is the only remotely decent one that I can still admit to liking a little.

Its like the blue curtains joke[/QUOTE] I don't pretend all films do and I can appreciate a film that doesn't, quite easily. If a film appeals to me purely on a basic level of enjoyment then thats fine. For instance I'm looking forward to Pacific Rim even though I know it's going to be nothing more than fan servicing and mindless huge scale violence with like no plot and it'll probably be cheesy and silly. But it'll be fun. Revolver wasn't fun or anything, I do think Guy Ritchie was trying to show off how smart he was and make the film intelligent and metaphorical and all that shit, but really it just sucked cos it was full of truly awful cinematography and editing, a dumb convoluted mess of a plot and it pretended to have a deep philosophical meaning when it didn't. I actually think his other gangster films are great. He's a witty fun filmmaker... But that's what he should stick to. He shouldn't try to be smarter than he is because otherwise you end up with offensively terrible films like Revolver.

Broken Arrow 1.3/10 legitimately the worst movie I've seen in the past year or two i caught it on amc after work so i figured it couldn't be that bad but holy shit it was so fucking funny i couldn't stop watching it gave it an extra .3 for john travolta i managed to watch it straight faced up until this scene and just started crying for about two minutes [video=youtube;9zwY9aJfaT4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zwY9aJfaT4[/video]

world war z: 6,5/10, brad pitt master of unemotional acting. i haven't read the book though.

also I just like to write about films and speak my mind on them as opposed to doing a quick "10/10 its decent" post. Double ninjas :(

Springbreakers Terrible/10 Speechless on this movie

[QUOTE=areolop;41486344]Springbreakers Terrible/10 Speechless on this movie[/QUOTE] the temptation I have...

I don't think I've ever seen someone says "Spring Breakers was okay, 7/10" it's always "0/10 disgrace to cinema garbage not worth the film it's printed on" or "10/10 sublime social commentary best film of the year"

[QUOTE=mikeyt493;41486419]the temptation I have...[/QUOTE] Sorry bro, heres the long version The movie missed completely on character and plot development. It moved quickly through the scenes with little transition on to who was there, or why they're there. The amount of nipples shown in this is equivalent to a full length HD orgy porno. If you have any expectations for movies, this is not for you. If you like to see tits and only tits in a movie with the occasional gun, this is for you. Seriously one of the worst movies I've seen.

best film of the year tbh and not cos its full of tits (srs) [editline]17th July 2013[/editline] also I meant the temptation was to argue that it's a fucking great movie and not a piece of shit but I've done that several times in this thread so ill not bother lol. [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1260152&p=41367036&highlight=#post41367036]here[/url] is the review of my re-watch a few days ago if you're interested in the other side.

[editline]17th July 2013[/editline] If nothing else the film is a spectacle of beautiful cinematography though. That cannot be denied.

The camera work, colors, and lighting were all good. But, like you said [quote]It seems like it's a film you either like or hate though[/quote] and I guess I just hate this one. Definitely had some expectations for the movie that werent fulfilled

I don't blame you, Korine's a tough filmmaker. Kids was massively controversial when it came out due to the whole AIDS thing being huge in the mid-90's and the film's about AIDS and teenagers (and more), and some people think Gummo is legitimately hilarious because it's awful and strange, but I consider it one of the best and most powerful films I've ever seen. After almost 20 years of being in the film industry no one's really sure if Korine is a genius or a troll. I think he's a bit of both.

He did a reddit ama I think and he was definitely...out there

[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/23/Europa_Report_Official_Poster.jpg[/img] pretty good, worth a watch if you like 2001 or moon.

[QUOTE=OutOfExile2;41486760]He did a reddit ama I think and he was definitely...out there[/QUOTE] Yeah I saw that, his answers were really weird lol. he's crazy. He's been on the David Letterman show 3 times and he is fucking hilarious. [editline]17th July 2013[/editline] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uZgJapYmEI[/media] It's actually so funny. He's really quirky (well he was 20 when he did this so he's just a kid) He clearly plays to the audience and stuff to be strange but he speaks his mind, it's just a weird mind. I dunno if what he says is true or just a load of weird stuff for attention but it's interesting enough :v: [editline]17th July 2013[/editline] 3:10 fucking kills me. And it seems it almost killed Letterman :v: [editline]17th July 2013[/editline] It's kinda mean that David Letterman just makes fun of him and the audience laugh at him... I think he's got interesting views and says some fascinating stuff

[B]The Day After[/B] - 7.5/10... Wonderful take on the effects of nuclear war, would be higher up if the acting wasn't so spotty. The ending did manage get me to cry a little though.
