As far as mindless action movies go, A-Team completely shat all over Expendables in terms of plot, acting and action. No idea how you could rate them both the same.

The A-Team blew The Expendables out of the fucking water. No contest.

Anyone who scores them similarly is obviously a fagg0t.

agreed. ben afleck should not have chosen ben afleck as his lead actor.

Carlos - 7/10

One of those sort of cheap looking but well acted small budget movies about the life of the world's most famous terrorist before Osama. Found it interesting, i didn't know all the world's leftist guerilla (RAF, japanese red army faction, PLA, etc) groups once worked together so closely. It ends at the start of the highly spectacular OPEC raid, leaving room for a part 2, which was a bit bah :(

What i also enjoyed is that they switch language every scene, english here, french there, arabian, spanish, japanese, etc :)

Devil = 7/10 - A decent suspense/horror flick that could have worked the claustrophobic angle a little better instead of cheaping out with "boo!" moments, but overall it was entertaining.

Enter the Void - 10/10, watch it in 1080p if you can find it.

Movie shot from a first person perspective of a junkie in tokyo. Since he dies in the first part of the movie, most of the movie is watching what he sees after he's dead.

Inception (again) - 9/10 - made more sense when i could actually hear what they were saying (movie theatre i saw it at first time had a problem with the sound balance :disgust: )

Tron Legacy - Not sure/10

I loved it, I really did but I don't know. I really don't know what to score the damn film.

Olivia Wilde is out of this world hot as was Beau Garrett...

Micheal Sheen was excellent in this...reminded me of David Bowie on speed

inception was better

also, the terminology in shutter island was wrong: it's an orbitofrontal leucotomy, not lobotomy, and it doesn't "pull" anything. they just ram a kind of pick up through the roof of your eye sockets (hence the 'orbitofrontal' part) and into the brain, where the resulting lesions in (iirc) the pre-frontal cortex make that part of the brain pretty much useless. however, since it's an absolutely crucial cortical area vis-a-vis a person's whole identity, it turns the leucotomised patient into a drooling zombie

I'm surprised they didn't first stick a leech on the icepick before jabbing it into the brain.

Tron Legacy = 8/10 - A very entertaining film that's worth going to the theatre to see. The thing I liked most about this movie was that they didn't use the 3D effect as a gimmick. Sure there were a couple of shots of stuff coming right at you but, like Avatar, it was mostly to help the immersion of the film. I thought it was cool that the first part of the movie was only in 2D and didn't make the switch to 3D until he entered "the grid".

Hell...the 3 minute trailer for the next "3D" Pirates Of The Caribbean movie had more "coming right at you" shots in it than the entire Tron movie.

Rotten tomatoes gave it 48% and I've seen mixed reviews on other forums, from 5 to 7.5 out of 10. Everyone says weak pointless story, but amazing visuals and soundtrack. One person said he could count on one hand the amount of 3D effects. He said he felt robbed since the theatres charge much more for 3D movies. Still, I may go and see it.

The 3d was used to add to the experience rather than used just to make people go OH SWORD IN MY FACE HOW AWESOMES LULZ!!!

Go see it and savour the awesome of the film.

I still dont know what to score it though :owned:
Where were you when the West was defeated?

Rotten tomatoes can give it whatever the hell it wants...those are just other people's opinions. I gave it an 8.

Indeed it is a weak, pointless story as it doesn't try to be anything other than a christmas blockbuster...just like Avatar was. As to that one whiny pussy who felt "robbed" of 3D...lol...what a fag. In fact...there's a disclaimer at the very beginning of the movie that tells you that "some scenes are not 3D but 2D...and please put on your 3D glasses". As to theatres charging "much more" for 3D movies, that's a crock of shit as I paid normal 2D prices ($13.50) to see it...whereas with Avatar I spent $20.

lol...I take it this idiot's idea of "3D effects" is having crap flying at the screen all the time, instead of simply meaning depth within the frame. He must have absolutely loved Resident Evil: Afterlife, as crap flying at the screen is ALL that movie had. With RE:Afterlife I didn't even notice the 3D depth effect as I was too busy ducking the whole movie. :dork:

If the guy really wants to bitch about such minor things I think it's obvious that his opinion on the movie should be ignored for the stupidity that it is.

Seriously DRuM...

lol...I take it you saw the same, shitty trailer for the next shitty Pirates Of The Caribbean movie that I did?

Jesus christ that movie's going to suck. And Mazda will, of course, love it.
