That's why it worked: none of the characters are good enough to carry a whole movie, but combined they're greater than the whole.

VOLTRON!!!

It's not a great movie by any stretch, but it's a far sight better than 99% of the other comic book crap that's pumped out every week.


LOL it's a whole fucking collection of the comic book crap that's pumped out every week :olo:


Did you not have a bedroom plastered with Johnny Depp as a pirate ?

Avengers anything but fucking incredible ?, you'd need to be so lonely it hurts

Avengers was entertaining, but seriously overrated.

you're overrated

to each their own I guess, I loved it though, liked how they kicked the bitches out and didn't let Iron Man steal the show, even thought Loki pulled a solid performance which was surprising after seeing him in Thor.

Then were agreed, it's fucking awesome. Don't mean to sound the fan boy but I can tear holes in pretty much any comic book movie adaptation, which I'm a fan of anyway, but find it hard to slag off this one.

Argo 8/10

Really good film. It's obvious Affleck has established himself as an A list director. The dude knows what he's doing.

Argo fuck yourself...

Arbitrage

Look I didn't plan to see this but I am happy I was persuaded :)
Interesting plot on many levels and I kept me interested to the (abrupt) ending.

2 stars of mention: Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon.
Worthy mention IMO was an actor I'd never heard of before (down under) Nate Parker (Jimmy Grant) played a great role and

Plot: American rich corporate type desperately trying to sell off (part?)of his business for ~ 400- 600 million dollars. When things go wrong he uses someone you'd least expect for assistance.

A little spoiler
Interesting sub plot on how the police try and persuade the Harlem resident to snitch and the discovery of the fake evidence on the toll way. That was well done :up:

Good story and would see again in time and worth yours 7.5/10

never seen this one before. pretty good tbh, and ofcourse great visuals. but nothing over the top like say transformers sfx-wise.

then I watched the extended edition. not as good, some of the changes relally ruin some of the surprises.

gorgeous in 1080p. yay for hd

Limitless

ehhhh... need to watch phenomenon again. there's a lot to this movie (limitless) that doesn't seem to make sense, will probably watch it again in case i missed something crucially important in regards to deniro's character.

What is it with you and your aversion to brackets? Did you have your eyes closed when they taught how brackets are used at school?

Besides, you're not really going to tell me that interlaced looks exactly the same as progressive, are you?

Weak troll is weak.

Taken 2 - rubbish/10 - same paradigm as Taken (america = land of freedom and safety and naive obliviousness to the jungle outside, rest of world = world of threats and dangers and moral decadence), only this time with an even older and less plausible liam neeson, more tight jump cuts to disguised neeson's OAP slowness in action scenes, more stupid dialogue, and less entertainment value

You miss the (point). No (one) gives a (fuck) if you saw it in 1080i or p. ()

I just happened to watch it last night. I got really confused in the middle-2/3rds as well. A lot of stuff was skipped through without consequence. The result was a less serious and suspenseful movie. I also found the ending was generally kind of lame. Also, the scene in the Chinese restaurant at the end of the movie actually ruined the premise of the movie for me. His mandarin was so fucking bad I couldn't understand anything he said, so it made me wonder if he spoke French/Russian that poorly also I just didn't understand. Some small thing, but it really ruined it for me.

6/10

perks of being a wallflower - 9/10 - it's well done, i think.

Looper

Just got to it before it leaves our big screens.

Bruce Willis always plays a great role IMO and that new chap, for me at least, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, to him (as a young Bruce Willis (Joe)) a well done.

I watched for the time travel paradox problems, and yes, enjoyed all the same and will no doubt again in the future/past :ninja:

7.5/10

If the story intrigued you I'd suggest reading the book rather than watching the film again. As happens with most Hollywood adapations the ending was changed from something that worked & fit the story well to 'happy hollywood ending'. A shame because apart from the last half hour it's pretty true to the book which I thought was quite a good little read.

Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel
8/10

Starts off slow and tedious, and has some slow and tedious moments after that, but when it gets going it's fascinating. Don't find out what this film's about before you watch it if you don't want to spoil it :)

I think you'll like this one, Whiskey 7 :sly: :up:

Argo = 8/10 - A pretty entertaining movie, well executed with great acting.

The Watch = 7/10 - Hilarious and retarded which makes it the perfect movie to see with friends while blazed out of your skull.

The Campaign = 6/10 - Funny and depressing at the same time.

OK. Sounds interesting in that you don't spoil it so I will avoid any reading on it until viewed :up:

Jagten 8/10

Swedish film about a school teacher in a small village who gets accused of pedoism. His life and career are then destroyed by stupid villagers. Also, many very pretty shots of rural sweden in autumn.

Pretty good :up:

A Dangerous Method 7/10

Kiera Knightley plays a very thin, very convincing crazy person in an interesting take on Jung and Freud; directed by David Cronenberg.

A lot of that push came from the studio very high up; they were interested in doing something original and not one more franchise film. That really came to a head at the studio – the major push to focus on the new mythology of Prometheus and dial the Aliens as far back as we could came down from the studio.

Original script seemed much better.
