absolutely brilliant visual atmosphere!
narration is a bit weird but quite good - the whole buildup just supports the climax so good :icon14:
... but there are a few cheezy things ( fremen/sardokar theory gets exchanged with the easier concept of a really fancy voice weapon. at least it works very well together with paul's other skills.)
Dune is a top movie. Made me want to read the books for the first time. The 'look' is fantastic, but it departs a long way from the book in places (weirding module wtf?). The books are awesome.
It was alright. Just your run-of-the-mill suspense movie. Nothing special to set it apart from the rest. No big twists or surprises. I wasn't overly impressed, but I still sat through it all.
Skycaptain and the World of Tomorrow - 8/10
This film was amazing! It was absolutely beautiful, the way they shot it and the special effects they used. It didn't even look like special effects. They gave it this real cliche' WWII propaganda feel, particularly in the beginning. It was funny, upbeat, and fun to watch. My only complaint is that they didn't really develop much of a background for hte main character. Sure, you get to know what he's like, but not how he got to where he is, which was unfortunate. But by the time things got rolling, it didn't really matter. I found myself watching the film just to see what was going to happen next. It was a truly unique visual experience. I wouldn't be surprised if 100% of this movie was shot behind a green screen.
9 out of 10. Absolutely awesome. Best comic book movie to date.
did you not see sin city?
but seriously, i doubt batman begins is any better than the Burton's Batman. i mean, christian bale is quite a dork and that ben affleck-y "does it come in black?" is really fucking homosexual
Revenge of the Shit-Tith: 4.5/10. In some ways this movie felt even more incoherent than Ep. 1 and 2...it certainly was just as bloodless if not more so. Lucas is simply out of his depth where human beings are concerned. Some nice SFX sequences can't disguise the general turd-hood of the film. Disappointing.
