Rise Of The Guardians

Good little film that. Hugh Jackman is impressive

"Friends With Benefits"

Mila Kunis :lol:
Awlful boobs.

Predictable and not that good.

Saw GI Joe 2, thought it was better than the first .

Also saw drive on bluray, with Ryan Gosling in it, seemed to get good reviews but I found it to be boring as fuck.

Why are they doing a 'Point Break' remake?

[Cripps_orig]

Just watched The Hobbit again

View hasn't changed. Decent film but could have been so much better. Slightly disappointed but I have hope that like the first LOTR film, it's building up to a brilliant next 2 films.

[Power n Glory]

I didn't think it was that good either. Similar set up to LOTR but the characters aren't as strong and the stake aren't as high. The quest for the Ring felt epic and weighty.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Reminds me of the Bourne Legacy situation, tbh.

Best they had let the classic Bourne trilogy remain and not taint the franchise with sub-par plots and characters.

[Cripps_orig]

Watching End Of Watch

Any good?

[Cripps_orig]

End Of Watch - 9/10

Excellent film. Jake Gyllenhall has restored his reputation after his brokeback catastrophe.

The camera angle was rather annoying but in not picky. Great ending as well

[Power n Glory]

Wicked movie.

Watched 'The Place Beyond the Pines' last night. It's getting critical acclaim but I don't get the applause. Seemed way too disjointed but it's getting love because it's an indie flick. Good acting though and manages to hold your attention.

[IBK]

Amen to that.

Watched the Bourne legacy recently and the franchise has disappeared up its own arse. It even cheapened the first 3 films by making you ask whether the over-convoluted sub-plot was in fact a bit irritating. Might watch an earlier film to find out.

All 3 are on mine. Boyle doesn't make bad movies though, does he?

[Power n Glory]

Haven't seen many Danny Boyle films. I've only seen 'A Life Less Ordinary' . A bit shocking considering his catalogue of films. I may need to update my Lovefilm list. Maybe Trainspotting first.

[Cripps_orig]

Impressive how people can remember directors of a film.

Does it play a part on deciding if a film is a good one for you lot?

For me personally I don't give a shit who the director is. Its insignificant.

[Marc Overmars]

Only seen Slumdog and Sunshine from Boyle.

Enjoyed both.

[GP]

Haven't seen Slumdog but heard TEG was quite good in it.

Trainspotting, 28 Days Later and Shallow Grave are #decent

[Marc Overmars]

Forgot about 28 Days Later. That was good as well.

[Power n Glory]

Just back from seeing Oblivion. Probably the worst Cruise movie I've seen in recent years.

See it for yourself to make your own mind up but I didn't enjoy it. Cruise usually puts out solid movies and I love sci fi. Thought this would be a solid movie. Very disappointed.

:ilt:

Fine if they're any good but dear God they're milking it.

[Power n Glory]

The franchise is in good hands. George Lucas was a bum and had no idea what he was doing with it after the first three films. I was more pissed about him releasing the originals on video, DVD, cinema, Blu Ray…just to tweak sound or add new CGI scenes. You know the guy has sold out as soon as he’s got Yoda doing Vodaphone and the shitty Lego Star Wars stuff. The prequel trilogy has really put a stain on the franchise and it’s partly because he wrote and directed them. He’s special effects man and was smart enough to sign a toy deal with Star Wars so he could milk more money out of the film. He’s not a good director or writer.

JJ Abram is on board with the new film and I trust he’ll do a good job. There are so many stories Disney can tell with Star Wars and I’m sure there are a host of talented writers and directors that will want in on the action.

[Xhaka Can’t]

FYP

[Xhaka Can’t]

Also, @ PnG, the above illustrates perfectly, your point a few days earlier about the importance of a director when deciding which movies to watch.

[Power n Glory]

FYP

:lol: Not a fan of Return of the Jedi?

After the original Star Wars, Lucas only directed one movie after that. Phatom Menace! Talk about a long break! He should have never touched the series again.

[Letters]

He's the Wenger of film directors tbh...

[GP]

Lucas really is a bumbling idiot.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I wish I didn't see it.

[Power n Glory]

It's the one I grew up with and how I came to know Star Wars. :lol:

[GP]

Empire had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a bunch of Muppets.

[The Wengerbabies]

Olympus Is Down looks absolutely friggin awesome.

[Power n Glory]

Good old George was thinking of the millions he could make off the Ewok toys. :lol:

I can’t complain too much. It’s the one I grew up with and I’m just waiting for the final lightsabre scene where Luke just loses his shit and takes it to Vader. But it’s the weaker of the three movies without a doubt. All three movies had different directors.

Dude who plays Luke had such a bad case of acne between A New Hope and Jedi.

[Power n Glory]

Didn’t his hair change colour? In Return of the Jedi his hair looks darker compared to that sandy blonde he had in New Hope. Plus he had those two massive wrinkles running down his face.

[Niall_Quinn]

Was forced to watch a film called Foster. Holy fuck, what an abomination and crime against film making. Just dog shit from start to finish. Absolutely nothing remotely decent about any part of it. Total puke. It's so bad it's humiliating to come to the blessed end of it and still be sitting there (unless you have died in the act of watching it which is not only possible but likely). So predictable it literally hurts your bowels as the stunningly obvious plot (lol) rams you in the arsehole and starts drilling up until it liquefies your brain and shatters your skull. Never watch this.

I thought it was an hour longer than it needed to be. Started off great but I was bored shitless by the end.

Have to agree with GB here.

Far too long. The cast were very good but the storyline by the end was a bit shit.

7/10

[Power n Glory]

I’m gonna watch it again along with Inglorious Bastards. Thought both movies were good.

Tarantino needs to start doing movie commentaries.

[Cripps_orig]

Inglorious Bastards was awesome.

Anyway watching Dear John tonight.

Dear John :bow:

Channing Tatum at his best

[Xhaka Can’t]

Got home about midnight, stuck on the TV and a film had just started on BBC2 so figured I'd check it out. 'Lymelife' with Rory and Kieran Cukin, Emma Roberts, Alec Baldwin and Timothy Hutton. Every actor in this was outstanding. Fucking loved this film - what a find.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Million Dollar Baby.

Thought it was very good. Wasn't expecting much at all, but then I might have been thinking of something completely different. The twist in the plot caught me by surprise actually, even though I thought I knew where it was going with the whole father figure/daughter/title shot/ redemption thing. Hoped he'd get his 44. Magnum out and shoot that German one though. Pretty decent effort if he directed, produced and starred in it as well.

Flight and Wreck-It Ralph are on my to watch list. Looking forward to them.

[Power n Glory]

Love and Other Drugs was okay.

Jack Reacher is pretty good. Read the first book in the series and considering Tom's size, he did a decent job of pulling it off. He's supposed to be a 6 foot tall mass of a man.

[Marc Overmars]

Wreck-It Ralph. :d

Loved it. A must watch for any old school gaming fan.

[Cripps_orig]

Might watch that tonight

Bullet To The Head - 6/10 didn't really enjoy it. Stallones character was good though
Flight - 8/10 Denzel at his best
Jack Reacher - 7/10 got a bit confusing but made sense in the end. Cruise as always was brilliant.

[Cripps_orig]

Wreck-It Ralph 7/10

Enjoyable film but disappointed there wasn't more of the other games involved

[Marc Overmars]

Mario is supposed to be in the sequel. :lol:

I think it was a perfect blend really, the cameo's from other games made it feel more special and didn't take anything away from the main focus.

[Cripps_orig]

Already a sequel?

I just felt it could have been so much more than it was.

Still, I liked it.

Might go watch fast and furious 6 today

[Master Splinter]

Iron Man 3:
Probably the best of the three. It almost turns into Transformers at the end, but overall really good fun with by far the best action and villain in the series.

Star Trek Into Darkness:
Not the big step up from the first you would expect. There's not much character development, aside from Spock being the most interesting crew member again. But, Benedict Cumberbatch elevates the film. Whenever he's on screen, it's far more thrilling and intense.

[Master Splinter]

Iron Man 3 - 10/10 the worst of the 3 but still awesome because it turns into Transformers at the end. Not the best action and villain in the series though.

Star Trek Into Darkness - 10/10 a big step up from the first. Alot of character development, apart from boring ass spock. don't know who this cumby bitch dude is but he's the worst thing in the film. much better if he wasn't there

[Master Splinter]

Man Of Steel:

The sad thing is that it starts of really impressively, with a spectacular-looking recreation of Krypton and amazing technology and awesome dragon bird things. Then we get to Earth and it's all so disjointed in terms of character, plot, tone and well, everything. It stays like that throughout until the final act, which is quite simply carnage. It's strange that we spend so much time on Krypton but we see so little of Clark Kent's childhood. Considering Superman is ironically the most human of superheroes, despite technically being the least, there's barely any connection with the main character, nevermind the thinly-written supporting cast. Understandably they're trying to go down a different route as Nolan did with Batman Begins, but rather than a rich backstory and well-defined characters with motivations all you get is vague flashbacks and poorly edited reams of blandness. A different take is fine, but removing the warmth, charm and emotion that is associated with the series and replacing it with what amounts to Independence Day 2 but with talking, non-generic aliens, is a complete misstep. It seems the writer got bored and just hobbled some scenes together until the big bang boom crash finale. Which goes on for ages. And is also quite boring until Superman and Zod finally face-off.

The fact that they turned something like Superman into something this dreary and uninvolving is quite impressive. It was expected that a Zack Snyder film would be all spectacle with no substance, but Goyer has a good track record (Blade 3 aside) with comic book adaptations and Nolan's involvement should have been a positive too. There are some decent performances from Crowe and Michael Shannon and some of the action is what you'd want from a 21st century Superman film, but on the whole it just completely misses the mark.

Nah, I thought the movie got it spot on. It was relentless. The childhood stuff was handled well. A linear boy to man narrative showing his progression is unnecessary. It's been done so many times and where movies like this often fall apart. I'm gonna watch it again. Was blown away by that movie. Special effects were awesome and it's been a while since I've really been gobsmacked by special effects.

[Power n Glory]

Which mush for brain contrived that disaster of a film? Surely has to be ranked as one of the most dreadful films of all time by all real movie lovers and critics.

And here you've added another group of folks to an already massive list.

Terrible film.

[Power n Glory]

Die Hard was great. The others were like a **** with a serious disease.

In order – Die Hard, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Die Hard 4.0, Die Hard 2, Good Day to Die Hard.

The last movie was bloody shocking. Worst movie of the series by a country mile and embarrassing to the franchise.

Have you actually SEEN Attack of the Clones? It is absolutely shocking.

At least Phantom Menace has the awesome pod racing and Qui-gon vs. Darth Maul fight. AotC has nothing.

I really wish 1-3 never happened

[LDG]

For me it's the way they lost the whole feel of the original films.

I know that technology enabled them to create effects they couldn't in the late 70's. But the originals were somehow more believable to me.

I heard a few people describe Book of Eli as Christian propaganda. Is it really that bad?

Going to see World War Z tonight. Looking forward to Pacific Rim as well.

Mila Kunis being in it had nothing to do with me liking it though obviously...

Yeah it kind of is, the message is that Christianity will save the world.

The plot is just very thin.

tbf I had no idea what it was about, just read a description calling it an action film starring Denzel Washington. There wasn't even much action.

[Power n Glory]

Book of Eli was pretty good! Thought provoking. If you take away the rules and regulations in society, throw away law and order, how far would humanity fall and what sort of people would survive? It's a good post Apocalypse movie and worth the watch. It's not a balls to the wall action movie but I thought the action scenes were cool. Themes of religion in there too but it's all relevant. It's not saying Christianity will save the world either it's a bit deeper than that. It's just about order and chaos. Like it or not, religion is what helped form the building blocks to modern society because it's where a lot of morals, laws and principles come from.

Not the best film you ever see, as in it won't win awards, however it made sense in terms of how tricks worked amd they were plausible. I really enjoyed it, and to me, I judge a film by if I walk out the cinema happy I paid money to see it. I was. Funny, lots of action and enjoyable.

Haven't seen Man Of steel yet but the Batman films were as good as they get. Hope they get Bale back for that.

Man of Steel was good but I can't imagine the two being in the same film with that same sort of tone. The Batman movies were dark and serious thrillers and they tried to ground it in realism. To introduce aliens into that sort of world......just doesn't seem right.

If Arsenal were a film what film would it be?

I think it would be Casino

Wenger would be Sam Rothstein.....the micro manager who despite his meticulous nature has a naive streak to him and believes he can convince his hedonistic wife Ginger (emblematic of all Arsenal stars who have their head turned by bigger clubs) to stay faithful to him.

The board and Hill-Wood/Chips Keswick are Remo Gagi and the old Chicago/Milwaukee Mob Bosses who don't care about anything other than getting the skim from the casino.

Steve Bould is Billy Sherbert, Rothstein's wing man

David Dein is Andy Stone.....who tries to counsel Rothstein and give him good advice but is clipped by the Mob Bosses because at the end of the day he isn't one of them.

Ivan Gazidis is a cross between Phillip Green and Artie Pescano (the guy who could f**k up a cup of coffee) - naive, grandiose and stupid and generally bring only trouble.

Nicky Santoro embodies all the new clubs/managers who want to come in and plant their flag not really caring who in the old order they upset in doing so....eventually seduces Ginger into leaving Rothstein and being with him.

[Master Splinter]

Isn't Moneyball a Wenget biopic?

[GP]

Might as well be.

Billy Beane was apparently influenced by Wenger.

Baene :lol:

In an actual Wenfer biopic, who would play him?

Stanley Tucci to play Gazidis of course.

Mark Strong as Bould.

Sylar as Cisc.

Halle Berry as that rapper bitch.

Morgan Freeman.

Sorry about the mis-spelling....

Saw some ad on tv today that it was the #1 movie in America, and assumed it was released in the UK as well. Hence, my inquiry.

[Master Splinter]

I liked both Saw and Insidious, and this is apparently his best film so far, so it should be pretty good.

There's an Insidious 2 coming out in a few months, which is odd in that a) it comes out so soon after The Conjuring and b) a sequel is unnecessary.

For some reason, he's directing The Fast And Furious 68 next.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Think I'll watch it over the weekend then. Hopefully it will live up to director's usual high standards.

Pacific Rim:

From the trailers, I thought it looked incredibly juvenile, stupidly noisy and poorly written.

It was.

But it was also surprisingly satisfying and one of the most enjoyable brain-not-required blockbusters for ages.

It's evident early on that it is completely embracing what it is: an over-the-top B-movie inspired by classic Japanese and American monster movies and cartoons of the 80s and 90s. It's made by big kids for big kids. It's basically an episode of Power Rangers (with a budget) crossed with Godzilla and sprinkled with goofily macho dialogue straight out of Turtles. Despite the CGI not being completely convincing, the huge (genuinely the biggest battles you'll ever see and much more exciting than the borefest that was Man Of Steel) robot v creature bouts are impressively visceral.

The acting is terrible (purposefully I suspect in the case of Idris Elba), the accents are worse, the plot is shoddy, the one-liners are dodgy, but if you accept that you're watching something that revels in it's silliness and has some awlsome action scenes, you can't really be disappointed.
