The last movie you saw

[4days]

push - 5/10

convoluted and silly, but marginally better than other stuff in the same stable (wanted, eagle eye etc).

[Tormentius]

Push - 6/10
City of Ember 4/10
Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li 5/10
The Horsemen 4/10
Transformers 2 - 9/10 Really enjoyed this one for the type of movie it was. Good action, special effects, and more backstory.

[seremtan]

...to breath heavily at people living in some sort of perpetual duran duran video.

speaking of perpetual duran duran videos, just watched:

the terminator - 6/10 - not nearly as enjoyable as T2, and i was amazed at how similar it was in so many ways (apart from budget of course) to the kind of thing the MST3K guys would have ripped apart (i'm thinking 'future wars' etc)

also, lol @ the 80s: walkmans the size of laptops, telephone books in phone booths, bad haircuts, shitty synth-pop, and everyone's default behaviour mode is "complete arsehole"

FAHK YOU AHS-HAWL

Diving bell and the Butterfly : 9/10

Brilliant true story of a guy who suffers a massive stroke, he is almost completely paralyzed, except for the use of one eye.
Later, Through a system developed with therapy, where his therapist goes through the alphabet and he blinks at the letter he wants and she writes it down...... he manages to write an entire book. A fantastic film.

Up (3-D): 8/10

Pixar pleases. This one feels a little different than some of the other Pixar films. Hilarious and sentimental. Great characters, especially the non-human ones.

[Deathshroud]

Pumping Iron 8/10

How can you not enjoy watching this? Really.

[feedback]

hahaha, classic movie

anybody seen my blue shirt?

[menkent]

Generation Kill - 9/10 - good ensemble acting, minimal sappy Spielberg moments (band of brothers?)... well, i at least appreciate that the marines aren't the victims of some abstract fate (like Pvt Ryan), but rather blatant individual stupidity and misguided ambitions.

[Peenyuh]

Transformers 2. 7/10

Fantastic action. Superior slo-Mos of Megan. Some dialog seemed a bit ridiculous, which is why it got a 7 instead of an 8.

[7zark7]

God, you're such a fucking hipster.

How the fuck does that make me a hipster?

Transformers - 5/10
Transformer 2 - 4/10

Some of the best green screen and computer effects i've ever seen. but beyond that not worth watching ever again. Typical Michael Bay orgy of slow motion running away from stuff blowing up, obvious characters and situations, and empty plot. John Tuturo saved the cast

Star Trek - 7/10
Movie surprised me by being pretty good. @ J.J. Abram's love affair with time travel. Seriously is time travel that guy's answer to any problem?

[Pext]

brick - 9/10

the best film i've seen in the last three months

[feedback]

God, you're such a fucking hipster.

Because you drink PBR. Probably.

[7zark7]

PBR? The only person I've ever heard mention that beer is Dennis Hopper in Blue velvet.

Transformers 2 - 1/10

Bloody awful dialogue and acting - EVERY fucking scene with that stupid soldier guy in it made me cringe... random cockney (?) stealthfighter transformer, many MANY wtf moments.

The "old" transformers story was completely raped in the first film, and I was going into this film prepared to accept that and see what happened... but this new imagining of the transformers barely makes any sense at the best of times.

The pisspoor re-design of the autobots/decepticons was universal, barring the effort that went into Prime and bumblebee. In any fight that didn't involve those two (or the few glimpses of 'the other yellow one') the two factions are pretty much indistinguishable (hint - if they're standing beside the soldiers and not shooting at them, they're autobots).

michael bay... he learnt how to do 'explody' at film school, but that seems to be the extent of his prowess.

a 'prime' example of how uber-effects and cgi does not make a good movie.

oh and the film is longer than this post - and you feel every fucking minute of it (in a bad way)...

[4days]

transformers 2 - 2/10
a bout of hot, watery diarrhea during an epileptic seizure that somehow still manages to be boring. the sambo-bot twins are downright fucking bewildering and everything else makes even less sense. optimus prime's booming camp narration from the back of a cereal packet is shakespeare next to the sci-fi channel extra that voices the spy plane,. ..and vesp is right, 'transformers two: revenge of the fallen' is an unbelievably long and tedious movie that drags like a burning contractor behind a toyota.

the parts where megan fox's glistening tits bounce up and down in slow motion as things explode behind her are ok.

That's about how I'd sum it up.

transformers 2 - 2/10

an unbelievably long and tedious movie that drags like a burning contractor behind a toyota.

[LawL]

Transformers 2. 6/10.

Typical Bay. so much camera pan it almost made me sick. disjointed story line and action. bad voice timing from the robots, normally prime. Explosions... every fucking thing blows up and not just a fuel type explosion, more like a oil refinery type Bunsfield affair.

Having said that if you can get past bay it's OK, i enjoyed it. some of the effects are outstanding. the SFX team must be pissed off when they find out the next job is a bay film.
Still, it's a shame Bay is doing this, could be much more.

Most pathetic review ever. 1/10.

commando: -9000/10 - i'd forgotten just how laugh-out-loud god-awful this movie is

that's sacrilege! Commando is a classic action movie...for those days when heroes could be bigger than life and tht was acceptable.

[R00k]

That's what it used to be. Have you seen it lately -- like, in your adult life?

I never should have watched it again.

agreed - commando is probably the movie i've watched the most number of times in my life. Predator's a close second and donnie darko's a distant third. Commando set the blueprint for years of fantasizing for me

this poster gave me goosebumps back in the day:

ps

late happy birthday, q3w was acting like a bitch at the time so I gave up trying to reply on your thread
