The Film Thread

that I didn't know......well suppose he deserved to be canned, thought Cheadle was more expensive than him.....(can't even remember his name)

Terence Howard.

It's a pointless sidekick role anyway.

[Boss]

Most superhero films are garbage tbh.

The three next must watch are Dark Knight Rises, Man of Steel and the Avengers.

All others can suck a dick.

[Kaiser]

Is Man of Steel the new Superman movie? I can guarantee it'll be shite. Superman is a crap idea in general because you can't really empathise with someone who doesn't have any human/emotional flaws.

:gp:

It can't work for more than a few films. The first two were good. But there's nowhere to go after that. Even though I thought Returns was good. But it was almost a remake anyway. You can be absurd like the Dean Cain series and turn it into a tongue-in-cheek soap. Or just awful and repetetive like Smallville. There's no real dilemma apart from the nuisance of the meteor rock.

I'd like to think there's been some great stories in the comics over the years that they can adapt however. The cast is good, which would give you some hope but the director is Zack Snyder, who is shockingly poor. All his films are cheap and trashy special effects-driven nonsense with less depth than a Whigfield song. I doubt Nolan's involvement will suddenly make him talented.

The new Spider-Man sounds iffy so far too.

But The Dark Knight Rises is certain to be great :bow: Nolan :bow: Bale :bow: Caine :bow: Oldman :bow: Freeman :bow: Tom Hardy :bow: Not to mention Joseph Gordon Levitt, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard and that guy from Lost again.

Directed by Nolan innit.

There's too many now, yes, but the quality has been strangely high over the years. The original two Superman and Batman films were very good. Then the X-Men films made them credible again (the third was shit). The first two Spider-Man fims were also good (the third was shit). Blade 1 and 2 were good (the third was shit). And of course Nolan's Batman's are superb (I hope the third is not shit :(). The Hellboy series shouldn't be overlooked either.

Even the more light-hearted and lesser-known ones like Daredevil, Thor and Iron Man 1 (the second was shit) were enjoyable. The only truly awful ones (that I've seen) were Fantastic Four 1 and 2 and Elektra. The Hulk's are not completely dreadful, but still a bit shit. The Green Lantern looks pretty bad, but Captain America should be decent.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Master Splinter/Superhero knowledge:bow:

missed Mystic River on cable last night......hopefully it won't be too long coming round again

[Kaiser]

Directed by Nolan innit.

As MS says, it's produced by Nolan but directed by Snyder, who generally sucks as a director. 300 was only decent in that it backfired spectacularly as an epic only to become inadvertently hilarious due to how serious it presented itself as.

[Cripps_orig]

TEARFUL farewells and moving speeches greeted the cast of Harry Potter on the last day of filming.And the long goodbye on the set of The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 was captured on video, which you can watch below.
Cast including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Helena Bonham Carter talk about what they will miss when the filming wraps.
And Rupert Grint is moved to tears as he talks about the end.
The final movie in the series is released on July 15 and features the ultimate showdown between Harry and arch enemy Voldemort.
Daniel, who landed the role of the boy wizard in 2000 when he was ten, stood on a chair to make a speech as the cast and crew prepared to wrap.
He said: "I just want to say I love this place, this has been my life, so it's going to be really odd, I think for all of us because I don't know what my day to day life consists of without you, all of you.
"It's wonderful. I've loved every minute. Thank you all very, very much."
Emma, who stars as Hermione Granger, said she felt lucky to have been a part of the smash hit series.
She said: "I feel so blessed that I was chosen, that I was given the chance to experience all of this and to have this be part of my life. We were the chosen ones."
And Rupert got emotional when he said he would miss "everything really. The people. This place and maybe just being Ron as well."

Never seen any of them on the big screen but tempted to go watch this one. Havent seen Part 1 though. Does that matter though seeing as ive read the book and know what happens or have the fuckers changed the film?

[Letters]

No, probably doesn't matter.

[Marc Overmars]

Finished the Star Wars saga at last.

I enjoyed the 3rd one in each trilogy the most, so Return of the Jedi and Revenge of the Sith.

Is that animated Clone Wars movie any good?

In other news, Total Recall. :bow:

A teaser trailer is supposed to be out this week along with the new Harry Potter.

The only reason Harry Potter 8 will post a huge opening weekend at the box office.

:Ach-level WUMming:

[Cripps_orig]

Its not Harry Potter 8 tbh. Its still the 7th film but just the 2nd part.

Any decent films yet to come out this summer?

Captain America is out soon :bow:

Any other quality films? None of the boring stuffy King Speech type films please. We want to see proper films

[Master Splinter]

It's still the eighth film to be released in the series.

In terms of films you'd be interested in, I can only think of Cowboys And Aliens, Smurfs and the new Conan and Planet Of The Apes films. And Cars 2, if you liked the first. And Glee Live.

[Cripps_orig]

Cowboys and Aliens? That the one with Craig and Ford?

Looks decent.

Smurfs...cant see it being as good as the cartoon. Any nude shots of smurfette?

Conan, no thanks

The new Planet Of The Apes films looks awesome. Must watch. Bale must be proud.

Havent seen the first Cars which is a disgrace tbh. Have to put it on the must watch list

[Marc Overmars]

I watched Super 8 out in America. It was pretty good.

J. J. Abrams. :bow:

Spielberg. :bow:

[Young Guns 11]

Going to watch Harry Potter pt 2 tonight :dance:

Senna :bow:

Amazing, deep film. The last 15 minutes had many close to tears in the cinema. Appeals to all (I'm not a massive follower of F1).

[GP]

Senna :bow:

Yeah, it's really good. Not a really a documentary though, but still very moving.

I didn't like the way Prost was portrayed. They were putting words into his mouth quite a lot.

[Cripps_orig]

Going to watch Harry Potter pt 2 tonight :dance:

Couple of questions

Have u seen the first part?

Have you read the book?

What do they miss out?

[Kaiser]

Yeah, it seemed to shape their rivalry into a standard good vs evil thing. The representation of Prost in the film was kinda dismissed by the point at the end that he was a trustee of the Senna Foundation.

[Kaiser]

Couple of questions

Have u seen the first part?

Have you read the book?

What do they miss out?

I'm gonna guess very little, because they've basically had four hours to do the entirety of the novel. Partially makes up for the shambolic sixth film where they changed a ridiculous amount.

[Cripps_orig]

Half Blood Prince was shocking, i agree.

Looking forward to watching Deathly Hallows though. Tempted to watch Part 1 on Box Office and go watch Part 2 over the weekend

[Master Splinter]

Looks like a great period for animation coming up. You can put these on your list too , Ach :good:.

Tintin looks a million times better than the mostly awful motion capture animated films (Polar Express, Beowulf) released so far. Spielberg and Jackson working together, plus a good team of writers should ensure this is good:

Dude its better to warch part 1 just so you know where you are. Got it in dvd might recap so when i go see PT 2 the gap won't feel too long lol.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

I'm gonna guess very little, because they've basically had four hours to do the entirety of the novel. Partially makes up for the shambolic sixth film where they changed a ridiculous amount. too right i reckosn had they missed bits out of this film their would have been an huge uproar.

[bignev]

Has anyone seen Tree of Life?

I watched it last night. I like to think of myself as being someone who likes less mainstream movies and can appreciate more arty, indie type of films however I absolutely hated this film. It just seemed to have no real central theme.

The kind of film which people don't understand but will tell you it's brilliant because they don't want to admit they don't understand it.

[Young Guns 11]

Couple of questions

Have u seen the first part?

Have you read the book?

What do they miss out?

Yeah to both.

Well considering they had 2 hours and 10 mins just to fit in a last few chapters I thought they missed out somethings that annoyed me.

For example, the big battle in the book, where Voldemort is going mental and like attacking everyone in the great hall...yeah that doesn't happen, just him and Harry on their own. It also seemed to be over really quickly, didn't seem to focus too much on many of the individual battles too much.

Good things though; Daniels acting got a whole lot better in this film, he did well. Also Alan Rickman was amazing, as ever. His scenes, expecially the Pensieve (sp) scene, were really good.

On the whole, a pretty decent cover of the book. Couldn't believe how packed the cinema was though at 00:01. The one I went to had like 6 screens open all showing it at the same time. It'll smash Avatar's record I reckon.

I've heard it's quite perplexing, even compared to Malick's other work. I like his other films, so I'll try to catch this too.

[Master Splinter]

It'll smash Avatar's record I reckon.

3D helps a film's box office haul, but I doubt this film will suddenly more than double the previous best in the Potter series.

[Young Guns 11]

3D helps a film's box office haul, but I doubt this film will suddenly more double the previous best in the Potter series.

People have been waiting for this film for ages, something that Avatar didn't have.

Though I have just checked what Avatar made....2.782 billion :faint: They re-released it didn't they?

I dunno, it definately has a chance though.

[Cripps_orig]

:good:

As for the spoiler, its annoying to miss that out but as long as they didnt miss out any of the major deaths then they can be forgiven.

Alan Rickman is a legend tbh. Never seen him in a bad film. Never seen anyone who knows a thing about films say a bad word about him.

Im going to wait til the dvd is out and then buy all of them in one go and watch them.

Spoiler kind of sucks but you could see from the trailer lots seems like it was missed out

[Young Guns 11]

Oh yeah and another thing that didn't happen in the film:

In the book, after Harry has beaten Voldemort, he goes upstairs to the headmasters office and everyone claps him etc etc, that was cut out aswell.

I know it's not a huge thing, but I thought it would have been quite a good scene, and can't really see why they couldnt have put in the extra 2mins or whatever to include it. Meh.

People were also waiting ages for the other Potter films, no?

It has no chance of surpassing Avatar's gross. Even Avatar 2 won't come close. It was one of those things that hit at the right time and caught the public's imagination. Even though it was pretty bland.

[Master Splinter]

Alan Rickman is a legend tbh. Never seen him in a bad film.



Not seen Love Actually or most of the Harry Potter films then?

Well, I suppose the Potter films aren't bad, just painfully average and ironically un-magical. Maybe the books are better.

But Alan Rickman is by far the best thing in them. He is always brilliant.

[Cripps_orig]

Watched The Expendables last night. Great action film. Can't wait for the 2nd one. Hope we see more of John McClane and Conan.Watching The Eye atm. Never seen it before. Jessica Alba is in it though and I've never seen her in a bad film so doubt this will be. Haven't seen anyone who knows a thing about films say a bad word about her films

[Master Splinter]

Jessica Alba is in it though and I've never seen her in a bad film so doubt this will be. Haven't seen anyone who knows a thing about films say a bad word about her films

I looked at her filmography on IMDB and it is terrible. Only Sin City is decent.

Even the ones I haven't seen I can say with 99.27% certainty are rubbish.

She's also the worst thing in Sin City.

Possibly only Meg Ryan and Demi Moore have a worse list of films.

And maybe Ryan Reynolds. He is shit.

Watching The Fast and the Furious. Not really a car fan but this is pretty good.2nd one was decent as well. Not seen the 3rd and didn't even know there was a 4th until the 5th came out which was as good as it gets.

[Marc Overmars]

Going to see Harry Potter tomorrow night. :popcorn:

Also looking forward to that new comedy Horrible Bosses, has an interesting cast. Jennifer Aniston also slags it up which can only be good thing.

[Master Splinter]

New Spider-Man trailer:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ktw5lLCqe4&feature=player_embedded

Looks ok, but entirely pointless, considering it will only be ten years after Raimi's first Spider-Man. Also, the effects look no better than the 2002 film either.

[Boss]

It's a remake of the first one?

What a waste of time... :unsure:

[Marc Overmars]

Harry Potter. :bow:

It was pretty good. They could have put more effort into ageing them in the last scene though!

On another note, the 3D sucked.

[Cripps_orig]

The Fighter :bow:Mark Wahlberg :bow:Christian Bale :bow:Amy Adams :bow:Expected it to be good. Didn't think it would be this good. Boxing films are pretty awesome

Missed a few things out, which pissed me off but was well worth it i suppose

Ginny looked well fit when she was older tbh Not sure what esle they good have done to making them look older unless they used older actors, but you forget they were only 36 in the last scene so it was ok.

[Jimmy Valmer]

Anyway back on topic

Watched Empire Of The Sun and it was very good. Bale :bow: Didnt realise Ben Stiller was in it as well :bow:

9/10

Also watched Hot Tub Time Machine. Some people have said its great, others have said its shit. I enjoyed it.

Tonight, its Rango and The Fourth Kind.

Havent seen either

I liked Hot Tub Time Machine as well, I enjoyed it more than The Hangover.

I've seen people refer to you as Cripps since I joined. Before I joined, I used to browse here for live updates when I couldn't catch a game (GW Match Thread > > > BBC Live Text tbh) and remember you in constant arguments with ItsMe/Zimm/Arsene Wonga/Why Do People Keep Changing Their Names.

Was never OTT optimistic likewise im not OTT pessimistic. I was realistic both times. We should do what GoonersWrold does when people want to change their names on there. They have to make a donation to get it changed. Made me laugh. Probably the reason i got banned. Stupid bitch.

Anyway watching The Game Plan tonight. Rock :bow:

Might also watch the Godfather. Depends on how late the Game Plan finishes cos GF is a 3 hour film

[Marc Overmars]

I've never seen The Godfather.

There, I said it.

[Cripps_orig]

I've never seen The Godfather.

There, I said it.

You hadnt seen Star Wars til recently and now this shocker?

Have you seen LOTR?

3 of the greatest trilogies of all time.

Always said you cant be a film fan unless you've seen all 3 trilogies

[Marc Overmars]

I've seen LOTR.

Will get started on the Godfather at some point I'm sure. :good:

Star Wars is a bit shit compared to The Godfather and LOTR trilogies.

Despite having Alec Guinness and Yoda.

[Cripps_orig]

Cars :bow:

Pixar have done it again and yes i know it came out in 2006 but this is the first time ive seen it.

Seen 11 of the 12 pixar films, Cars 2 being the only one i havent.

10 of those 11 have been top quality. The other one was piss poor but i guess they were due a shocker but have more than made up for it since

[Master Splinter]

Wall-E :bow:

Great film.

Equally as great as The Toy Story Trilogy and Up.

[Cripps_orig]

This could be your worst shocker yet.Did you miss the first half of the film or something?

[Master Splinter]

This could be your worst shocker yet.

Coming from the man who loves The Fantastic Four films and is a Boyzone and Westlife fan and thinks Nasri played centrally for most of last season, I take this as a humongous compliment.

Also, the mostly silent sections of Wall-E are wonderful and elevate the film to greatness.

Yeah it's a bit poo, however it utilised 3D better than any of the half arsed cash in attempts we see every week now.

Plus you get to see Kelly Brook stark naked. Worth seeing just for that tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

Just watched 12 Rounds.If Speed and Die Hard With A Vengeance had a kid, it would be 12 Rounds. John Cena :bow: Always been a fan

[Mr.Singh]

Coming from the man who loves The Fantastic Four films and is a Boyzone and Westlife fan and thinks Nasri played centrally for most of last season, I take this as a humongous compliment.

Also, the mostly silent sections of Wall-E are wonderful and elevate the film to greatness.

Ach's a Boyzone and Westlife fan.....That shit gives me MAAAD CHILLSSS BROOO

It won't go higher than $1.5bn. Huge drop-offs.

The Dark Knight Rises won't have the 3D boost, but should still have a shot at beating it. The Hobbit, unless it turns out to be complete shit, should also pass it.

The Hobbit, unless it turns out to be complete shit, should also pass it. 3D is BS tbh. Hardly makes a difference in the films I've seen. Also the new Batman and The Hobbit should be awesome. Couldn't give a toss which does better. Both are Must Watch. Hoping the Hobbit is as good as the book and a good prequel to the awesome LOTR trilogy

[Master Splinter]

3D is BS tbh. Hardly makes a difference in the films I've seen.

This is true.

But I meant in terms of it boosting the box-office performance by virtue of the premium you pay for tickets for the privilege of 3D.

The Condemned.

Not bad, I like action movies where there's no arsing around, just kick the fuck out of each other and move on.

Vinnie Jones was cringe worthy though. When he breaks into the building where the crew is with a gun...some woman screams, so he shoouts "shut the fack up you ugly bitch!!" and shoots her. :lol:

Watching the Hurt Locker tonight

[Letters]

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes"

Wasn't quite what I was expecting but really enjoyed it. Has a few references to the original Planet of The Apes movie.
Effects could be better at times, I don't think the technology is quite there yet to create completely convincing CG animals or humans, but overall very enjoyable.

[Master Splinter]

Monkeys :bow:

Andy Serkis :bow:

Draco Malfoy chanelling Charlton Heston (:bow:) was a bit embarassing.

It was more of a drama about the disintegration of a once beautiful relationship than a powerful sci-fi/social commentary like the original. Some of the characterisation is also a bit two-dimensional at times. But still very enjoyable and better than most recent soulless blockbusters. They should also pretend the pointless Tim Burton remake never existed. And monkeys are fucking awesome.

Shame Bale didn't have a cameo though.

[Cripps_orig]

Just watched the Hurt Locker.Interesting to see a war film with a different take. Not the best war film I've seen but not bad overall7/10

[Marc Overmars]

So many movies I need watch from this year. X-Men, Thor, Captain America and Green Lantern for a start. Followed by Transformers and Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Then the lighter stuff like Horrible Bosses.

Jessica Alba :bow:

Never seen her in any film thats bad.

The violence in that film is fucked up.

[Cripps_orig]

Watching The Last King of Scotland.Not expecting much. James McAvoy is arguably just a mini Colin Firth although unlike Firth he's appeared in quality films such as the first Narnia and the recent xmen. He was even in Wanted which is shite but twas something different to what he usually does so there's hope for him yet

[Master Splinter]

McAvoy was good in Atonement and Inside I'm Dancing too, probably his best films.

I'm not sure if there's enough violence, sex, action, explosions etc. in them for you. There is sex and explosions in Atonement though.

Funnily, I agree with you about Firth. Although I liked The King's Speech, before this he was mainly remembered for being a generic bumbling/charming Englishman in mostly fluff pieces. Now he's the new Alec Guinness and Laurence Olivier overnight. British over-hyping at it's best. Just like football.

[Maestro]

Thought Forest Whitaker should have won an oscar for his role as Idi Amin. He was Fantastic!

Then of course the main event, The Dark Knight Rises.

Spider-Man looks a bit shit so far tbf.

[Syn]

I'll tell you a good film - the new Planet of the Apes. Gareth Bale was superb. Probably the film of the year.

Realised i dont have the 3rd Mummy film on DVD or Scorpion King.

Must Gets. Never seen the former and the Rock is in the latter so bound to be awesome.

Watching The Naked Gun tonight

[Master Splinter]

Heston is in the first two Apes films, technically. The original is the only genuine classic. The sequels were cult-ish classics. Odd, but fun.

The less said about Tim Burton's, the better. He never really recovered from that (apart from Sweeney Todd).

Mummy 3 was utterly pointless, especially without Rachel Weisz, Arnold Vosloo and that awesome Arabian guy.

Scorpion King should have gone straight to Laserdisc.

Naked Gun :bow:.

[Cripps_orig]

Havent seen Sweeney Todd either.

Alice In Wonderland was pretty good though.

Probably the reason i havent got the 3rd one on DVD tbh. Bit of a shocker not to have the main actress and the Arabian dude in it although expected Imhotep not to be in it as he died in the 2nd one with no chance of resurrection.

The Scorpion King is an evil dude in Mummy Returns so why is he a good guy in his own film?

Might watch all 3 Naked Guns tonight

Pirates 4 is shit, just like the second and third films. As cynical, cheap and worthless as summer blockbusters get. Johnny Depp :doh: for allowing this awfulness to continue and ruining his previously good track record.

Insidious was surprisingly enjoyable. I wrote something about it here or Old GW. It's a pretty straightforward haunted house/boy horror film but with effective shocks. It's like Poltergeist, but with a constantly creepy atmosphere. It's by the same team who did the first Saw, which was also good.

Patrick Wilson, who plays the Dad, was in Watchmen, Lakeview Terrace and The A-Team. Rose Byrne was in X-Men: First Class (as the strangely non-Scottish Moira MacTaggert), Troy and that ridiculous Knowing film with Nicholas Cage.

Is Cousin a regular poster here?

[Cripps_orig]

Watching Insidious. Coming towards the end of the film. Pretty good. One of those freaky ass films like Paranormal Activity, The Fourth Kind etc. Won't be able to sleep now :(Watched POTC 4 earlier. Nowhere near as good as the other 3 although Cruz and the mermaid bint made up for eye candy. Hoping there are no more.

Disney is awesome tbh.

Magic Kingdom. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Wall-E your favourite?Good choice tbf. I don't include the Pixar films when I mention Disney films.Number 1 for me is Beauty And The Beast. Aladdin comes in 3rd.

[Master Splinter]

Some of the late 80s and 90s (up to Mulan) Disney films are great, but the masterpieces from the original golden period are just that slight level above.

Snow White, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Dumbo, Lady And The Tramp, 101 Dalmations and others from the same period were amazing for just their animation. Like Pixar today, you'd see a different style in virtually every film. And even though a lot of the stories could be seen as butcherings of folk tales and classic childrens' books, it didn't really matter when they all came together in an incredible whole, which are still unsurpassed today (outside of Studio Ghibli's work).

The best ones - Snow White, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty And The Beast, The Lion King - all have quite multi-layered stories too and a sense of menace, which not only appeals to all ages but most studios today forget is what all the classic kids stories/films need.

[Master Splinter]

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was a slight disappointment. I didn't think it would be a James Bond film, but I also didn't expect it to be slower-paced than the offspring of a tortoise and a snail.

I haven't seen the original TV adaptation, but it does seem like a narrative that would be better suited to an episodic structure to allow all the little details to develop and sink in.

Despite this, it had a great style and good performances from Gary Oldman, Mark Strong and Bendedict Cumberbatch especially.

Accept it for what it is and it's a well-made - but not always involving or exciting - film.

That looked pretty generic from the trailers. What was the last good film Hopkins was actually in? He has lower standards than even Samuel L. Jackson and De Niro now.

Are you not a fan of scary films? Or do you like watching them even though you know they will scare the shit out of you? If so, Insidious was a pretty good recent one.

[Master Splinter]

Tis weird cos i like Wolverine the best out of all of them :shrug:

Perhaps you're weird?

The characters and rushed plots of X-Men 3 and Wolverine are all over the place. It turned from an intelligent adaptation of the comics/cartoons into a big dumb generic action blockbuster. Plus Vinnie Jones was in the third one. You can't come back from that.

Even if you just judge them as singular films, without prior knowledge of the material, the difference in the quality of the script and the general tone is evident. It's like Batman Forever and Batman and Robin versus Tim Burton's vastly superior original two.

[LDG]

Watched "Attack The Block" the other night.

Quite amusing.

[Master Splinter]

Drive was rather good.

It's a simple story, done quite a few times before, but the execution just elevates it to a higher level than the average action/revenge thriller. The sense of style and the strange atmosphere, helped by the music, gives it a unique feel. Ryan Gosling is great, as he is in his most films. The sudden jolts of extreme violence are pretty brutal, but are appropriate for the character.

It has elements of films like A History Of Violence, Taxi Driver, Clint Eastwood westerns and various other ice cold, taut, revenge westerns. Recommended if you're a fan of those.

Sweenit Todd?

You should probably edit this before Ollie retaliates with his own :pal:.

And yeah, Sweeney Todd is Burton's best film since Ed Wood. Although Sleepy Hollow and Big Fish were pretty good too.
