My friend called me today telling me that he had Free Tickets to see this tonight at the Angelica, I was REALLY looking forward to it. I saw a preview for it last week when I saw Let The Right One In, an excellent film BTW, and I thought Repo looked awesome. I even got there early to make sure we got good seats. I read reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and such, saying this movie was bad, and I just shrugged it off, like I do most reviews. I'm always curious what others say about movies, but I like to form my own opinion. And after seeing it, I have indeed formed an opinion about it...
This was, hands down, one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my entire life.
Keep in mind, as I said, I love movies that are so bad, they're good. This, however, is not one of those movies. This falls into my very very VERY Rare "I never want to see this movie again as long as I live" category. A category that is reserved for such horrors as Manos: The Hands Of Fate, Catwoman, Red Zone Cuba, and others.
I knew that this movie would be compared to Rocky Horror, a movie that I personally don't like but I can somewhat see the appeal of. Despite my dislike of Rocky Horror, at least it flows well, and has a few catchy songs, IMO. I understand that this was trying to be different, with it's Rock/Pop/Operatic style, but for me, it failed. I mean, the songs are so poorly written, that not even the extremely beautifully talented Sarah Brightman could save it. Giles (Anthony) has a fantastic singing voice, and so does Alexa Vega, but great voices can't save a song from being poorly written, and somewhat out of place. Even Paris Hilton can somewhat carry a tune in this movie as well, but again, poor writing and placement. And for a movie that is primarily singing, that's obviously a bad thing for me.
It's clear that this movie is clearly going for the obscure, the film geeks, and the cult followers, and not the standard movie going public. I can easily ignore the god-awful lip-synching in the beginning of the film too , as that was fixed later on. I thought the comic book scenes were pretty nifty too. However, this movie, I felt, was trying way way way too hard to be over the top and bizarre, to the point of just being stupid, and not in a good unigue Goth way. The characters, the plot, the story, and the music are all so nonsensical, and not in a cheesy 80's flick way. Both musicals and operas still have to flow well, and this movie did not at all. Hell, even The Wild World of Batwoman flows better than this movie. I understand the need and desire to be unique, but unique does not always equal good.

However, opening Bond song is pretty bad though.Agreed. I didn't care too much for the opening song either.
However, opening Bond song is pretty bad though.
I still think Die Another Day is the worst Bond song though.
I don't know "Never Say Never Again" makes Die Another Day sound decent, even if it's not really from a true James Bond film.
Yeah, I've been meaning to see Bolt after my friend's review of it on his Podcast. I also need to go see JCVD. Perhaps I'll talk my friend into seeing that tomorrow night.
For my Thanksgiving viewing pleasure, the 'rents and I watched The Wizard of Oz and then The Incredibles. Both movies are timeless classics in my eyes.
"Penn and Teller get killed"The world is a sadder place now... XD
Ok, I just finished watching the Speed Racer movie. I SERIOUSLY regret not watching it in theaters, I [tornado fang]ing loved it 8) The races were awesome, the "action" was hilarious, cars exploded, everything was great.
Oh I'm a huge fan of the Speed Racer movie.
Apparently, the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie is attracting a lot of hate for it's casting. (http://io9.com/5111680/avatar-casting-makes-fans-see-white)
Now, I've never seen Avatar: TLA, but judging from what they are talking about, I could definitely see why.

I've watched Conspiracy. Man, that dude is the best Sniper ever. Although the movie is for adults, but I like it. :)
I was going through my old DVD collection a few days ago, and found my Léon: The Professional disc. Jesus Christ, I'd forgotten how much that movie rocks and how Jean Reno and Gary Oldman kick so much ass in it.

I'm excited about Star Trek. I've been a Trek fan since the early 90s and I've heard all the naysayers concerning J.J. Abrams's film. I could care less about what the fanboys/girls have to say. I'm looking forward to the ride.
I'd say the Wolverine movie is actually quite... solid and likable.
This is coming from X-men illiterate btw and I didn't even watch the first two X-men movies.
You're allowed to like it, especially if you're X-Men illiterate. Nothing wrong with that at all. Hell, I liked it, up until that last bit I mentioned. Just a warning to those who follow Marvel stuff though, there's a chance the last little bit will bug the hell out of you.
Me and Yoshi got back from Star Trek.
personally, I liked it.
Here are some problems I have with it, thus far:I actually found DS9 the WORST of all the series'... I really disliked it.
#1. Time Travel. It deals with it. Time Travel + Trek = VERY Iffy
#2. A Star Wars Star Trek film. Abrams is admittedly not a fan of Star Trek. He prefers Star Wars. So, this is basically a Star Wars fan's take on Star Trek, which is a very interesting concept. *in Gundam Wing Announcer voice* However, Star Trek, in terms of story, is vastly superior to Star Wars, so we'll see how this turns out.
#3. Lack of Ideas. This was the problem I had with Enterprise, which was unwatchable. They're still going back in time, and NOW they're touching upon already established characters, further showing that the brain trust behind Star Trek lately have completely run out of ideas. At least Voyager had a great idea...the show just sucked unfortunately. DS9 was the last truly good Trek show.
*in Gundam Wing Announcer voice* However, even with my gripes with the film, I'm still very much looking forward to seeing it. The latest trailer looks very nice.
I actually found DS9 the WORST of all the series'... I really disliked it.
I dunno why. I just did not like DS9 as much. haha... I cant even recall why.
Well, the early episodes of DS9, I'd say about the first 2-3 seasons, weren't really that good at all. However, when it picked up, I thought it was one of the best series ever.See, that's probably why I gave up on DS9. I never really got to the good stuff, I suppose. As for Voyager... well, it wasn't the best of series, but it did have it's moments. It wasn't great, but I don't think it was all that horrible.

Just watched Angel and Demon. Well, I like it. Full of suspense from the quarter beginning till end.Oh? All I know is that I can't wait to watch it...
I love the novel, so I guess I'm a bit biased. XD
A bit disappointed though, they took out the coolest ambigram of all... and I think they change some of the detail. (like every novel adaptation movies)

Oh, the CG is horrible, I suck at spotting bad CG, but even I could tell how horrible it was when that helicopter/airplane/thing looked right out of a video game.This. And it's in the first 10 minutes of the movie.
I want to go see it, but...I don't know if it'd be worth it. Poor CG doesn't really bother me, I just have no working knowledge of the G.I. Joe universe at all. Does that matter, or is this one of those "reinventions" for people who've never watched the cartoon?Yes, it's a reinvention. There's many many things that are completely different from how they were originally. The plot seems very questionable from time to time, as well.
It's going to suck because Mr. T isn't in it.
Just 2 more weeks till Astro Boy. im SO seeng that.
You know, I almost forgot they were remaking the A-Team... (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/42827)

Anyone not watching MJ's This is it?

Rachel McAdams is possibly the Black Cat in Spidey 4 (http://www.mania.com/spiderman-4-villain-revealed_article_118760.html)As long as the writing of the movie is better than the previous outing.
I approve.

As much as I hate CGI as a special effect, Tron is a movie in which I want CGI, and the worst CGI, the better!Lol, agreed.
I went and saw Avatar in IMAX today. The story is pretty standard, predictable, but I still thought it was pretty good for what it was.My issue with the 3D was that the movie was a little too long for it. By the end my eyes were tired out.
...However, the visuals....they really are fuckawesome & mindblowing. Cameron did what he set out to do and brought 3-D Movie Technology to a whole new level. I've never seen anything like Avatar before. It was absolutely incredible to watch. I mean, unless TV's eventually get 3-D Technology incorporated into them, this movie will never look as good as it did in the theater.
Sherlock Holmes was also some funny-ass [parasitic bomb]. Some of the scenes reminded me of the CSI series.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONkh786EbSg[/youtube]Agreed. Do want.
Looks pretty [tornado fang]ing soild.

I went and saw the new Clash of the Titans movie tonight.Huh I'm going to see that on Sunday, I had a feeling it was too over dramatic in the previews. :\
Twas pretty terrible. Although, I think "YOU'RE THE SON OF ZEUS AFTER ALL!" will become a huge phrase.
Huh I'm going to see that on Sunday, I had a feeling it was too over dramatic in the previews. :\
Well actually, I just read a review on io9 and according to Annalee, they intentionally made the dialog cheesy & B-Movie..y. If that's the case, then they indeed got it right. I thought they were actually going for something more mainstream & serious, which it definitely wasn't. I mean, the movie is indeed awful, but it is "fun awful" so you could still enjoy it if you're going into it with a B-Movie attitude.

And also this may sound a bit stupid, but what makes a B-movie a B-movie?
The last movie i saw, i think it was Avatar in 3D, i can't remember :\I hated that movie so much. Last I saw was Alice in Wonderland, I liked it but they really needed to diffrenciate from the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen because they aren't the same person.

Saw the Transformers movie by Michael Bay on TV last night.
... That's it?
Megatron... That's it!?
... -AC
I recommend you go and watch (or re watch) the 80's animated transformer movie because the live action sequel isn't any better. Seriously, it'll wash the bad taste from your mouth.Oh, believe me, I have watched the original.
Well...I just saw Kick-ass. I'm very pleased. Go watch it.
Watched "How to Train Your Dragon" yesterday. When I first saw the trailer some months ago I was completely uninterested, now it's my favorite movie of the year so far with only Toy Story 3 and Iron Man 2 looking to be candidates to take that spot.I was pleasantly surprised by it. I went in expecting nothing, mind you, but it was far more interesting than I figured it would be.
I just watched Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of the Ring.
It was just gorgeous! The landscapes were beautiful, the buildings and houses impressive. I would think the mines were possibly my favorite place in the movie, it feels so dead and empty with the skeletons, and he little crack shedding sunlight on Gimli's cousins' tomb. Then of course is the "YOU. SHALL NOT! PASS!" Sequence which was amazing as Balrog looked extremely menacing. The pacing of the story is much better than that of the book, sure it doesn't explain everything of everything but when something or someone needs to be fleshed out it flows smoothly and doesn't break the steady pace it has. And I really have to say, the ending was a bit tragic, which makes me want to watch The Two Towers even more.
Of course it's a good movie, you've all heard about it tons of times! But I've never watched it, it is awesome.
"YOU. SHALL NOT! PASS!"EVERYONE'S favorite part.
So, I just saw Toy Story 3.Well this, though dissapoint of a smaller cast of toys.
As always, Pixar doesn't disappoint me. Story was well thought out, and though all around a bit darker, still had many great comedic moments. The ending though, FFFFFF. Really cute and happy resolution, but damn did I ever cry. 3D itself was kinda.. meh. Nothing really popping out, just seemed unnecessary to have it in the first place. Overall though I'm very pleased with how they ended the series.
Oh and Return Of the King was amazing, though I wanted some Sarumon bashing.Did you watch the Extended version?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMgDdi2Ggnw&feature=relatedwhat does that have to do with movies

Something I forgot in my review, Zuko's scar isn't as pronounced as it is in the show.LIES
LIESWell, if they went too far with it, people wouldn't be able to look at Zuko's face without seeing Two-Face.
LIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Well, if they went too far with it, people wouldn't be able to look at Zuko's face without seeing Two-Face.But it's all about the internal conflict he has within himself, and the scar signifies it even further!
Not yet, but I want to see it.
However, tomorrow is Predators day! Can't wait.
Oh right... Predators.
I think I'll pass. XD
The Last Airbender and Despicable Me is on my must watch list. XD
You said it yourself: To each his own. *gnaws*
Predators was [tornado fang]ing awesome.
Just saw Predators.i couldn't stop making heavy jokes
Good, nice and slow start, and it gets awesome. You like Predator? go see Predators.
Hoping it'll be good....it won't. It's a videogame movie, and it's not made by an incredibly reputable director/company or anything.
Is it just me, or is Shang Tsung, Heihachi?
I got around to watching Terminator Salvation today.I generally thought it was good, and loved the cameo. But my main complaint is that it all felt like a huge wasteland with a few dumb old machines walking about. The old movies showed it as a huge, full-on war, constantly being waged. This just seems like a minor guerrilla conflict. The humans would have won long ago.
It wasn't that bad. But then again I never saw any of the other Terminator movies (To be fair, I did see the ending to Judgement Day when my parents were watching it, and I watched about 80% of the original with no sound at my grandpa's house, due to him wearing headphones while watching TV.)

To be honest, I expected more Terminators...
And holy crap, the T-600's Rubber Skin... Its just plain freaky, a really disturbing effect that worked nicely.
I haven't seen it yet, but the rubber skin is canon. Reese mentions it in the first movie how they could spot them easy. It was the 800 models, like Arnold in the first movie, that were really hard to spot, since they looked flawless.

Looks pretty damn good.
I went to see The Expendables last night. Our closest theatre was showing it in their 21+ only theatre, where the patrons could drink while watching the movie!All theaters have that around here. 8D

...THE LAST AIRBENDER IS WORSE.
...I'm kinda afraid to say it, but...
...let's see... deep breaths...
...breathe, Superbat. Breathe. You can do it...
...The Last Airbender is worse than Highlander 2: The Quickening.
Whew. There. Saying that is pretty much the "Voldemort" of movie nerds.
It's not that it's all bad, but it's still god awful. What bothers me is that it's a movie in which the writing staff doesn't really even need to try, and they still [tornado fang] it up. It's a movie that completely overestimates its audience. There's only a select few types of movie goer that is going to pay money for this; Parents with Kids, and fans of Dragonball. That's pretty much it. They could've spent there entire budget on making much better looking kick-ass fight scenes, because that's the ONLY reason people are coming to see it. Granted, I don't think it's as bad as say Transformers 2, but it's an awful movie.
It's why movies like Expendables & Shoot Em' Up are so fantastic.
The reason why Dragonball Evolution was so bad was because they started making it and Akira Toriyama said "no", so they had to [tornado fang] up the plot and characters.
There are a few others. I liked (didn't love, but it was... kinda okay) the Prince of Persia movie,
To be honest, despite how critically panned it got, I thought the Silent Hill movie was pretty decent.I REALLY liked that movie (dispite never getting to see the ending due to my downloaded copy being corrupted), but I got pretty far. What was wrong with it anyway?

I LOVED the transitions between the foggy real world and the twisted dark dimension. I thought they were pretty scary, and really well done.
As did I. I generally had no problem with it at all.
Also, going to see late night MACHETE tonight. [tornado fang]. YEAH.
I wish Machete was released. Lucky as we are, we're gonna have to wait months.

Not to mention, I saw this awesome [tornado fang]ing trailer before Machete last night. UNSTOPPABLE.
It looks so [tornado fang]ing absurd. I MUST SEE THIS!
Dammit Rodriguez, why did you step out of the Deadpool movie? You were the best choice... ;_;
My guess is that Fox wanted too much control or something, and he said "[tornado fang] it"Fox has the rights to it? I thought Deadpool still belonged to Marvel.
He's from the X-men, I don't recall Marvel ever getting those rights back....what? Deadpool isn't really very connected to the X-Men. Yeah, he was a part of the Weapon X program, and had his series with Cable, but I didn't know he came with the X-Men license as a deal.
Fox has the rights to it? I thought Deadpool still belonged to Marvel.
I actually saw a trailer for Saw 7 at the theaters, which is gonna be 3D when I was watching Machete.
Its also going to be the last one.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Its also going to be the last one.
So I watched Batman And Robin on Cartoon Network. Everyone seems to be brain dead except for Alfred, who is a genius mastermind.(http://www.ratewall.com/cpics/da86f3f3-986d-40fc-a62d-34d16eab741a_batman_villain_mr_freeze.jpg)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh wait, you're serious.
Last for now most likely, in 2-3 years we'll probably get an 8th one. :\You mean next year or something. EVERY SINGLE Saw movie has been the "last one". Only the first one was any good, anyhow.
Anyway, watched T2: Judgement Day last night. What an enjoyable movie, sad TNT had to censor [parasitic bomb] even at 11 PM.
(http://www.ratewall.com/cpics/da86f3f3-986d-40fc-a62d-34d16eab741a_batman_villain_mr_freeze.jpg)Mr. Freeze kicked lots of ICE.
It's pretty COOL.
Mr. Freeze kicked lots of ICE.And he was pretty chill about it.
Its also going to be the last one.
And he was pretty chill about it.Except for that meltdown after his wife died.
Leaeve your expectaions for DB:Evo, and its not all that bad how ppl think...
I agree. I don't even wanna know how he plans to "improve" them, and I don't intend to spend $20 to find out. I saw the Original Trilogy in theatres when they released the Special Editions, and I was happy with that. I don't intend to shell out an exorbitant ticket price just to see these. And definitely not to see the Prequels. No amount of CGI or 3D will make the acting any better.
Lucas has lost his [tornado fang]ing mind. He needs to be overthrown, have someone more capable run his empire.
All Six STAR WARS Films to Be Re-Released in 3D Theaters Starting in 2012 (http://www.collider.com/2010/09/28/star-wars-films-3d-re-release-2012/)
NO. THAT'S IT. [tornado fang] YOU, LUCAS. NO MORE.
What really irks me is that he starts with the shittiest movie in the Series. I'm all for order but the only Prequel Star Wars I ever want to see again is the third. The originals are classics, and always will be (Only the original versions though, never seen the special editions because my parents have some intense dislike towards them.)
LEAVE GREEDO ALONE!
Honestly, the man has some [tornado fang]ing balls, to think that people, even Star Wars fans, are really going to shell out MORE money (3D movies are more expensive) to sit through the first 2 movies again. I think some MIGHT do it for the 3rd, but the first two? He's nuts.
Rodian Pride Club anyone? 8D
I'm considering shelling out the cash to see the OT in 3D, but not the Prequels. No way in hell. Just, no. And even the thought of seeing what "improvements" Lucas has added the to OT makes me nervous.

Oh look, saw a trailer for Paranormal Activity 2. What better way to make us forget about a shitty movie by making a sequel about kids opening doors, people bitching, and lots of windy corridors, electrical issues, and dumb [parasitic bomb].
Sweet! I'm gonna add that to my subscription list.

Hm. I saw a couple clips from Green Lantern not too long ago, and caught a glimpse of Kilowog. He was CG. I wanted to cry.
There was no reason why Kilowog had to be CG. He could've been done with animatronics. But, no, he's CG. And he's not even decent CG. He's crappy, poorly-lit, cruddy framerate, misused sim-cloth, gimbal-locking joints, animated by amateurs, we-blew-our-entire-CGI-budget-on-the-ring-constructs-and-had-to-out-source-Kilowog-to-the-SciFi-Channel CG.
Pisses me off. Kilowog deserves better. Kilowog deserves animatronics, foam-latex, and a guy in a big suit.
[SPOILER=Text block]Soo... just watched Scott Pilgrim last night. Afterwards, I wrote this.
After just watching Scott Pilgrim vs. The World for the first time, only one thing can be said about it. It is made for nerds and gamers and as such might be one of the greatest movies of all time for said nerds and gamers. One would be amazed and awed at all the little references put in. Some are blatantly obvious, while others are slightly more hidden, much like collectibles in a video games. Now let’s get in-depth, shall we?
First off, the musical score. It’s a mix of hard rock, classic game tunes, and new chiptuned awesomesauce. It’s a mix that works beautifully together, and the transitions are top-notch between songs. On top of that, every song is well-suited to each scene. Also, since it’s a movie that heavily references video games, sound effects are also a major element. Whether it’s the secret passage revelation sound from the Zelda games or a generic 1up sound effect, these effects are well placed throughout the film to add emphasis to things that would otherwise be unappreciated.
Next up in this review are the visual effects. The average film has effects that have been used so much they’re quite generic now. Explosions, glow, you name it most films probably have it. What Scott Pilgrim has to offer is the type of effects more often found in the realm of gaming. Score tallies, extra lives, level names… these are what one will find in Scott Pilgrim. In addition, some scenes display a nice hand-drawn comic style, or just feature faces that are of that style. On top of that, other things that one wouldn’t see in the average movie are found such as enemies exploding into coins, random doors appearing out of nowhere, words describing sound effects comic-book style, and graphical indicators indicating the intensity of the music.
The fight scenes also display a style very reminiscent of comic books and graphic novels. No surprise there, as the movie is based on one. Regardless, it works extremely well for these scenes. These are also over-the-top with the fighting high into the air, signs that say VS or health bars, and even special moves! If any gamer wanted to see the love child of a Hollywood blockbuster and the latest video game, this would be it.
The tertiary review point is the story. Sure, it may be the generic love story at its core, but that’s after stripping away several dozens of layers. There is a lot more going on here than just the average boy-meets-girl story. This is boy-meets-girl-then-meets-another-girl-and-reluctantly-dumps-the-first-and-has-to-fight-the-second’s-seven-evil-exes-while-also-remaining-in-a-band-and-keeping-his-friends-in-the-process-among-other-things. As was said before, a lot more going on than the average story.
Lastly, since the movie is so similar to a video game, rewatchability will be discussed. That may not have been a word before, but it is now! With all the hidden little things in all the various scenes, this is a movie that can be watched over and over again. Not only that, but all the stuff that is a blatant thumbs-up to geek culture in general is awesome enough to show again. This is easily a movie that will see tens, if not hundreds, of plays in the future.
In conclusion, there are several categories that one might fall in, and if they are in these they have to see this film. Among them are nerd, gamer, comic geek, otaku, anime fan, cartoon buff, and manga reader. There are many more groups that one might fall under, but they should still see this film. It is easily one of the best movies in a long time, a refreshing change of pace, and a great watch. As such, it receives the highest of recommendations from this writer! Go see it as soon as you are able!! Until next time, game on!
Yeah, it's a copypaste article. Still, it's true. :D
[/SPOILER]
You know how it is these days. They want CGI and Motion Capture instead of working with things that are actually there, either because they think they have problems (Storage? Actually getting the damn things moving?) or because they don't want to put the time and effort into making it. Its sad, I'd rather be more freaked out by the special effects being robotic over them being poorly made CGI that creeps into that Valley of Uncanniness.
I have watched the six movies and I still don't like Harry Potter, seriously what's up with Me not liking this series?
Though, the CGI in some areas could've used some more work. And the needless fanservice was needless.
Well, Dumbledore's grave didn't annoy me as much as the overabundance of Harry with his knickers down.
Everyone is an extre in Bruce Lee movies..ask Chuck Norris
Nothing, considering Bruce Lee beat him in Enter the Dragon. 8)
Bumping because it's a sticky and therefore no one should care.ADAM WEST BATMAN IS ALWAYS GLORIOUS.
So a few weeks ago, my friend let me borrow his copy of Batman: The Movie (1966)
This is pretty much the most hilarious thing ever. About 10 minutes in, Batman and Robin are in the Batcopter trying to stop a yacht carrying a valuable item from being captured. As Batman is being lowered on the Batladder towards the boat, he's suddenly attacked by a (very rubbery) shark which clings to his leg. After hitting it a few times, he shouts to Robin to hand him the Shark Repellent Batspray (which was conveniently in the Batcopter along with a variety of other aquatic animal repellents). Well, upon being sprayed, the shark falls back into the water and explodes on contact (and according the The Penguin, was supposed to, just like his exploding octopus). After a press conference, Batman, Robin, Gordon and some stereotypically Irish cop try to deduct the culprits, and after going over the current criminals at large, this is their logic:
Batman: Pretty fishy what happened to me on that ladder.
Gordon: You mean, where there's a fish, there could be a Penguin.
Robin: But wait! It happened at sea! See? "C" for Catwoman!
Batman: Yet — that exploding shark was pulling my leg!
Gordon: The Joker!
O'Hara: It all adds up to a sinister riddle... Riddle-er. Riddler?
After some other events and investigating, a missle is sent into the air and somehow writes a message in the sky as a clue. And of course they're in riddles. One of them is "What sits in a tree, weighs six ounces, and is very dangerous?" Robin is quick to answer "A sparrow with machine gun!" And he's right. There's other things I could go on about but I'll just finish here.
tl;dr this is the greatest movie ever made
Just got back from seeing Battle Los Angeles.The movie is probably a blessing compared to the crapfuck Skyline was.
It was okay. Plot wasn't too important. Hell, the aliens aren't even given names. All that's known is they most likely want to colonize Earth. Unlike some movies though, they're organic and can he shot dead with guns just like anything on Earth. They even have water inside their bodies (specifically in their "heart" IIRC). Action was good, but the slower scenes were a bit lame at times. Overall, I could very easily picture the whole thing as some generic Alien Invasion FPS.

Some don't even know it exists. D:Blasphemy!
[spoiler]They all die. 8D[/spoiler]
[spoiler]LoL, one survives. It doesn't matter though, as I'll explain down below.[/spoiler]Just tell me if this is true.
Well, just got home from watching this movie. Josh & I were talking about it for quite a while afterwards. The movie is definitely a Zack Snyder movie, as it is both visually stunning and edited extremely well. Also, the soundtrack for the movie is quite excellent.
LoL, the problem is that the movie makes no sense. Like.....none. You have really zero attachment to any of the characters, which is a huge problem considering their situation & their goal, which you really don't care about seeing as how you again have no real attachment to the characters. Also the voice over dialog really just doesn't make any sense, which fits right in with the movie's story not making any sense.
To best describe the visuals, it's pretty much like watching a video game almost. It's really half a good movie. The visuals & soundtrack & actually movie elements itself are quite good. Sadly though, the most important part, the story & characters, are pretty much null and void.
Just tell me if this is true.
[spoiler]All of them die and one of them has the fate that the bad guys (corrupt doctors and stepfather) planned for her in the first place, by being given a lobotomy. And in a stupid moment of "Oh, so that's what happened" by the stupid doctors, we get a tiny nod that the bad guys will PROBABLY get their comeuppance. Oh, and she imagines a happy ending inside her head.[/spoiler]
I loved all his past stuff. Still going to watch this next friday. But this kinda makes me scared that we're putting Superman in this man's hands.
Oh well, he's amazing with adaptations.
[spoiler]Essentially, out of the 5 main girls, 3 of them die, 1 makes it out as planned, and the main one does indeed get a lobotomy. What makes it so stupid is the fact that again, you really have no attachment to any of the characters, and also the fact that if she had not disappeared into her first level fantasy world, cause there are two levels, a simple matter of talking to the REAL doctor probably would've kept her from being lobotomized. Hell, the girl literally [tornado fang]ing hears the plot between her Stepfather and Blue.[/spoiler]Ah, I see now. And is the CG as weak as everyone says? Weak action without even the cool stuff action usually has? Video game quality CG that is kinda rushed?
The good thing about Superman is that he's not writing it. I think a combination of him & Nolan could work very well.
Ah, I see now. And is the CG as weak as everyone says? Weak action without even the cool stuff action usually has? Video game quality CG that is kinda rushed?
And also, good thing he's not writing it. And it's an adaptation of the three Post-Crisis origins, John Byrne's "Man of Steel", Mark Waid's "Birthright", and Geoff Johns' "Secret Origin". They're going with Brainiac and Zod being the villains, and Luthor being just an arrogant ginger businessman at first.
"Zod is not only one of Superman's most formidable enemies, but one of the most significant because he has insights into Superman that others don't,"
I saw the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie today~! It was awesome!
There is only one thing I'll say, and it was pretty shown in some of the ads for it. But I'll put it in a spoiler just in case. Granted, it's only a single tidbit anyway.
[spoiler]If you kiss a mermaid, it may be the best kiss you'll ever have, but it will be your last! MERMAIDS ARE (mostly) EVIL!!![/spoiler]

I went and saw X-Men: First Class tonight. It was an X-cellent movie. Sure, it does not go well with comic continuity, but I love the fact that it pretty much erases X3 & Wolverine: Origins from X-Men movie continuity. It was a good movie though.Hellz yeah! Just finished watching it the LEFT WAY, and I'm definitely buying the DVD when it comes out here in POLOND.
Why is it Marvel seems to be getting it right with their movies, and DC just cant get it to work? Batman seems to be all they are getting right, and even then its a drastic re-interpretation.
Maybe DC will get it together some time. Movie bob reviewed GL btw. He hated it. Like, fan rage hated it. He brought up a good point though. Just start making them all the same universe like how Marvel is doing.
They're going too, most likely.
Recently so far it appears that Emerald Knights an animated GL movie, seems to be looking better than it's live-action cousin, which I plan to see tomorrow. If what I hear is correct for Kilowag, I fear for Mogo. '>.>
I want my Flash movie! And it had better have Captain Cold in a PARKA! With a HOOD! A fur-lined hood! And it had better be blue and he had better have those snazzy shades!
Albino Captain Cold in a motorcycle jacket will not do. I want my Eskimo cosplay!
You want short Guardians? Slap a bald cap on a little person and have that actor spend two to three hours in makeup! It would look much, much better.
LoL, I'm gonna have to rant about this, aren't I...Lookin' forward to it.
At least they gave him an excellent voice. XD

And on that note... can anybody tell me if this movie is at least WATCHABLE this time around?
From two reviews I've listened to of it, I think he's actually accomplished the amazing feat of making it worse than TF2.That... doesn't sound too encouraging... but I'll wait for your review. I really wanted this to be the movie which I'll buy on DVD, btw.
I'll be seeing it this weekend to see how this autopsy ends.

I‘ve read otherwise. Still bad though. In fact, I‘ve read one review say it is both awesome and terrible to the full extend of what those words imply.Is that even possible?
-Harry Potter 6 and 7-1
Great. They've really set the stage for an epic finale. Let's hope it does justice to the book.
Yeah, Inception is incredible.
Also, saw TF3. It's not worse than TF2, but it's still god awful.
Posted on: July 03, 2011, 06:10:19 PM
In fact, let me reiterate. The only reason it's better than TF2 is because the final action sequence makes a little bit more sense and isn't as big of a confusing clusterfuck. Honestly, at this point I'm going back and forth as to whether I think this is a worse movie than TF2. There are so many reasons why it is and why it isn't.
So, tell me PB, if I truly hated the pacing in TF2, most specificly for the whole [tornado fang]ing desert part, in how much pain will I be when I inevitably get dragged to see this with my family?
Considering how shitty the last book is, it'll do it 'justice' no matter how bad it is.
Last book was not bad at all.
[spoiler=tranformers dark of the moon]WHY DIDN'T SHOCKWAVE TALK AND HOW WAS HE ON EARTH BEFORE THE BRIDGE WAS FUNCTIONING???[/spoiler]Okay, this seals it for me. I'm not watching this piece of [parasitic bomb].
This may end up being just like RotF in which I vowed never to see the movie, ever, even if tickets to see it fell into my lap. Interesting story, that. Tickets to see RotF actually did fall into my lap. I still didn't go see it.
[tornado fang] this, I'm gonna go watch something quality. I'm gonna go see Cars 2.
LoL, speaking of the Island, in case you haven't heard, TF3 literally, and I mean literally, copies a car chase action scene directly from The Island, just with Decepticons CGI'd into it.
I heard that he reused that scene because of an incident when a broken cable hit and paralyzed a woman on the TF3 set.
Because it's the equivalent of asking hamsters to build the Great Wall of China.
Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In Brave, a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin, surly Lord Macintosh and cantankerous Lord Dingwall. Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.

Already psyched!

...am I the only one tired of Spidey's intoduction story? How many times do I have to see Uncle Ben Dying!? Also The Cap looks interesting.
I thought Batman's origin annoys people more.
But Batman's origin is mostly just mentioned in maybe one flashback at most (Batman Begins is the only real origin story I know of)
Peter was doing that stupid dance. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOtpeYERu9w)
I will always love Spider-Man 3 more than the other two. Because put simply, I did not like the other two. They seem to catch the very worst of Spidey, the reasons why I don't like him rather than the reasons I do. They're full of bad acting, and not in a good, hammy way, and although the scenery and special effects are good, I can't take look at the rest of the movie and like them. I guess I'm weird.
I love Spidey 3 because it keeps making fun of itself. It stops with the constant whining and sad stuff and makes room for a whole lotta comedy. And it jumps from soap opera, to batshit insane crazed people and their lives. LOVE IT. =D EATING COOKIES IS EVIL AS [tornado fang].
But Spidey 3 had terrible acting, and most of it wasn't on purpose. Neither 1 or 2 had stellar acting by any means, but It was a lot better.. The plot, or rather, the pacing in 3 was a complete and utter mess. Not to mention it had the worst trilogy-conclusion I have ever seen in a super hero movie.But see, while Spidey 1 and 2 completely failed on me as movies, seeming to me more like a few nerds trying to make a fanfic film for themselves with an amazing budget of billions, Spidey 3 was easier to... well, to relax and make fun of. I had already lost hope in attempting to enjoy the Spidey franchise over what so many people loved it for, so I chose to have fun with it. And I ended up having quite alot of fun.
What I will say, Is that none of the Spidey movies captured his personality. I mean, the guy barely spoke over 5 sentences during a battle. No taunts, puns or "peek-a-boo" webbing to catch them off guard. I sorely missed that, but at least the fights were still really inventive. Something I can't say much for 3. I also loved how Harry's distaste for Spider-man grew in 1 after Normey died, and Peter questioning whether his power was a curse or blessing. Then they completely steamrolled all over that in 3, with some horribly thought-out revelation scene.
You make it seem that Spidey 3's only purpose is to make people laugh... which is completely avoid the point it was aiming for. It was an embarrassment of a movie.
I remember that there is some kind of a pregnancy scene in Breaking Dawn. Or something, I forget.It goes like this:
.......Lol, tell us how that goes.
I think I may watch breaking dawn film.
To laugh out loud.
I saw Real Steel tonight. It was awesome!Hugh Jackman and fighting robots, how does it go?
Eurotrip is one of the most underrated comedies out there. It's a hilarious movie!ohgod that movie... XD
Eurotrip is one of the most underrated comedies out there. It's a hilarious movie!It had some hilarious moments...and some WTF moments regarding a certain country I wont name.
It had some hilarious moments...and some WTF moments regarding a certain country I wont name.
Saw The Muppets tonight. Absolutely loved it. One of my favorite movies of the year.So... it's really good then?
Recently saw Hunger Games.That's honestly how I felt about it. It seemed rather predictable too, despite the fact I haven't read the book, and a bit cliche for the romance stuff, but that's teen romance stuff. I also felt that the camera was way too shaky during the fight scenes but my brother said that it's normal for that to happen during the action scenes, though I guess if they didn't do that it would be too graphic, and it was pretty graphic all ready. Overall it wasn't bad and I'll see the next one.
I liked some things, mostly out of a design aspect, but other then that....I found it pretty meh.
Finally got around to seeing Avengers last night.I watched it recently too.
It was [tornado fang]ing magnificent, loved every bit of it.
Avengers is pretty much a perfect movie.
I don't understand why they tried making me care about Phil. I always hated Phil. Glad to see him dead.
I understand that the movie has been out for a bit, but that's still kind of a spoiler.That's exactly what I'm talking about. Who gives a [parasitic bomb] about the character? I don't get it. It's not like I told anybody about how Captain America dies at the end.
Dark Knight Rises, Loved it.I loved Bane. He's supa kawaii
That's exactly what I'm talking about. Who gives a [parasitic bomb] about the character? I don't get it. It's not like I told anybody about how Captain America dies at the end.I liked Phil... :<
Dark Knight Rises, Loved it.
I loved it until they revealed that
[spoiler]Bane wasn't the main villain. Worse, he was simply an overpowered henchman. Nothing more. And Talia died 20 minutes after you found out her identity. Terrible.[/spoiler]
Dark Knight > Begins >>>>>>>> Rises
I loved it until they revealed thatI still feel Begins was the best of the 3.

So, RPM folk...
New Total Recall, I gather that it isn't worth seeing?
So, RPM folk...
New Total Recall, I gather that it isn't worth seeing?
Well, then it's a crap remake.
Speaking of things people hate, I don't really understand the hate behind Dragonball Evolution. Or rather, I do, but I don't...
If you look at it as the end-all, be-all "Dragon Ball" live action adaptation, you're going to be disappointed, saddened, possibly infuriated. There's a million things they got wrong and really, the movie only has the titular Dragon Balls and some traits -- usually the irrelevant ones -- right about the classic characters.
However, if you look at it just as an action/kung-fu movie that just happens to share some similarities with the Dragon Ball franchise, you'll find that it's actually a really good, fun, and often funny movie!
Too bad 99% of the people out there just see "Dragonball" and go "OMG TUS ISN DBZ U FGTS."
Random fun facts
- The movie may have done horribly here in the US, but they loved the movie over in Asia -- specifically China and Japan, the series point of origin.
- Akira Toriyama, series creator, was an executive producer for the movie. He also actively contributed to Dragon Ball GT, but was not a writer for that series.
- Expect a sequel to this movie in the future, as confirmed by Piccolo's actor in a semi-recent review. Yay! :D
See, that's what I don't understand. Even when not comparing it to the source material, people still say it's awful. I just plain don't see it... I enjoyed the movie from start to finished. I've heard things like "bad acting" and "poor casting" throw around, but again, I don't see it myself. And it drives me batshit crazy because I can't seem to wrap my head around what they're saying! >_< *flail*
Well, then it's a crap remake.
I wouldn't judge the new movie based on Schwarzenegger's flick but the novel.Does anyone know if it takes place on Mars in the novel?
Saw Skyfall tonight. I liked it a lot.Saw it last night, it was pretty good.
Needs a little more "Action" to get me psyched. :P
It had Supes being thrown into a safe and a city being destroyed. This trailer has more action than pretty much every live-action Super movie ever! XDDonner Cut of Superman II nonwithstanding. Supes crashing into the State of Liberty = Pure win to me ;)
Hahaha, even Vibe!Oh God. That's because it IS Glados... Same VA! Oh wow. This movie looks to be loads of fun.

EDIT: Also, Talia really comes right the [tornado fang] out of nowhere. Her purpose is literally just to be "WHAT A TWEEST". She appears literally for no other purpose than to do that, then die. I found Bane to be much better than I expected, but then he wasn't even the true mastermind, and flushed all that down the toilet. AND was dispatched like any other mook. (after having been revealed to be just a mook, essentially.) The [tornado fang].

Really, I thought Mandarin worked out.
[spoiler=Seriously, don't read unless you've seen the [tornado fang]ing film]Then again, I wasn't really on board with the whole "Look at me I'm a Terrorist" thing, so him turning out to be a goofy actor worked in my eyes.[/spoiler]
The Mandarin is portrayed as a genius scientist and a superhumanly skilled martial artist. However, his primary sources of power are ten power rings that he adapted from the alien technology of a crashed space ship. Each ring has a different power and is worn on a specific finger.
[spoiler]
That's how Mandarin is supposed to be. And going by Thor, Avengers etc., this film should be no stranger to the above description.
But that aside, I personally felt the terrorist thing worked well. Sure, he may have looked a bit silly, but I was hoping to see a serious threat from him like Loki's army from Avengers.[/spoiler]
They made such a big deal about him in the trailers and then we got... this.
[spoiler]Oh, okay. I don't follow the comics so I didn't know the character beforehand.

[spoiler]Well, in the movie Killian set up The Mandarin as a big deal and conceal the truth he himself was the actual bad guy. To the American public, The Mandarin was expected to be some big deal. Sound familiar? The Director and studio wanted the audience to feel the same way as the government in Ironman 3 by advertising The Mandarin as the big bad and barely even show Killian in the trailer.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Yeah, he destroyed all of his suits so he could start a clean slate. I personally loved that.[spoiler]yeah, a clean slate free of ego, free of doing what he wants... because that life almost killed the person he loved
I mean, I don't think his new suits will be much different from the others. But I love how metophorical it is.[/spoiler]
OH MY GOD.
OH. MY. [tornado fang]ing. GOD.
Pacific Rim was everything I wanted it to be and more. The visuals are insane, the soundtrack is [tornado fang]ing spectacular, and THE APOCALYPSE WAS CANCELLED. It is the closest we've ever gotten to a legit live action Anime, AND IT WAS GOOD. LIKE, REALLY REALLY [tornado fang]ing GOOD.
Thus far my favorite movie of the year. I will probably go see it again.
Did you see it in IMAX?
Because that movie screams IMAX.
Wow.
So Ben Affleck has been cast as Batman in the new upcoming Batman/Superman movie.

Huh... I am cautiously optimistic. I would like to bring up another attempt by western studios to do that license though...
It's blocked. D:I take this back.

That's why it's best to download it, as opposed to streaming. You never know when the copyrights are gonna strike.

Me too. Though, in terms design, I prefer this one:
(http://i.imgur.com/elSoAYt.jpg)
He's Captain America. He's supposed to look patriotic, not... drab.
I like that too.
But this makes me think it will be more human drama, than actual terror.
But we'll see.
Well I was going to post the Godzilla trailer but I see PB has beaten me to it. >0<
That freaking roar at the end gave me chills. So going to see it.
Finally sat down and watched Pacific Rim.
I can't believe haven't watched it until NOW.
This...
I don't think I've seen a movie as good as this in YEARS.
I'm guessing you haven't seen The Avengers.
Really looking forward to that one. Then again, I was the weirdo who liked the Captain America movie more than the other solo ventures, so yeah.
I feel that if they decide to keep going with the franchise reboot, they could potentially do something good without having to be in the shadow of the original. I mean, Robocop 2 isn't exactly a masterpiece like the first one, despite still being good, so it isn't nearly as fondly remembered, and 3... Well there was no 3 as far as I'm concerned.
Wait, a... stun gun?He has a regular gun too, which he uses, but he also has that stungun that he uses most of the time when he shoots someone to arrest them. they make it a point to tell us that he could kill someone by setting the stun settings higher.
Even if it's PG-13, they still should've been able to use a regular gun. So many PG-13 movies have done so. All they have to do is not show blood spurt out when someone gets shot/no pools of blood and tone down the language.
Hell, Expendables 2 was PG-13 and that film is all about heavy duty gunfights and combat. Granted I haven't seen the sequel, but I know that's what the films are about.
I think you have a better opinion of Robocop 2 than most people do.
And in the case of 3, I like to classify that under comedy or parody. It was [tornado fang]ing goofy and I loved it.

Niiiiiiice!
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - Official Trailer (2014) [HD] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCjsWpM9zFU#ws)Ugghhh.
So Shredder is a [tornado fang]ing obviously white guy. Huh. I wonder if he's going to be called Oroku Saki at all.
Still looks better than the original script for this, but that's not saying much.
The turtles look like Shrek.
What in the actual [tornado fang].
Someone already did.Oh lawl, Donkey's in there too! XD

Saw Cap 2. It was pretty good! One question though... where the hell is Hawkeye? I might have blinked and missed mention of him in one specific part I guess, but the question still stands.
The Russo brothers confirmed that they're directing Captain America 3, as the critical reception for Cap 2 was phenomenal.Color me interested then, if they can keep up the level of awesome this movie had.

Also, what was your favorite scene Phi? Mine was...
[spoiler]When Cap and B-Widow find that "computerized" nazi scientist, and when he breaks the news of Shield being Hydra right into their faces. This whole ordeal was just such a great combination of "WHAT THE [tornado fang]" with a dose of "MY GOD THAT'S CHEESY" and a "CREEPY" on top.[/spoiler]
HOLY [tornado fang], GODZILLA WAS AWESOME!
It needed more Cranston.
I loved the new Godzilla.
It only had 2 things I disliked.
It needed more Godzilla and Cranston.
I really love his new design and the way he fights! <3
So glad I saw it in imax 3d. :D
Quite a lot of Godzilla movies don't have much Godzilla in it.I thought so as well but damn It I was hopeful hahaha .
[spoiler]As for Cranston, I was pretty sure he was dying during the opening credits, when it said "And Bryan Cranston!" XD [/spoiler]
Honestly, the fight is worth the price of admission alone.Hell [tornado fang]ing yes!
Hell [tornado fang]ing yes!
Even my favorites from the Heisei era I dare say look outright campy by comparison.
Is that 3 headed dragon attacking with nose bleeds?
Just got back from Godzilla---SOOO GOOD. A little human heavy at the start and it teased us with the monster a few two many times; in this reguard I still think Pacific Rim got the balance between humans and monster fights down to a fine art but when the [parasitic bomb] hit the fan the movie did not disappoint.Actually I think that was his atomic pulse but I know what you mean. :3 I thought it was cool that the humans were actually a consistent part of the fight to keep it interesting. I'm also really glad that the fight scene itself didn't fall victim to fast editing and multi cut shots like many American made fight scenes.
I was rooting for the big lizard the whole end battle, and I don't mind the human characters either (no forced drama was a big plus). The MUTO's design grew on me by the end; it's quite elegantly designed.
Also best Godzilla kill move in a long time, reminds me Godzilla 2000 when Zilla fired his atomic breath down Orga's throat.
Um... there are plenty of sequels that are better than the first movies. It's not rare in the least.Well, then let's just make that my opinion rather than actual fact, as I haven't seen very many sequels that were better than the original.

Sounds like Dragonball Evolution all over again. My question is why they casted Megan Fox as April, isn't she supposed to be older?
You can't expect Michael Bay to successfully adapt anything right.For some reason I'm thinking of him making a Duke Nukem movie and somehow screwing it up royally.
Yeah like I said I'm not sure, I just google searched it to confirm it and various links said the same. I'm thinking it may change later, bit it's just plain odd.
Of course, this is because this bullshit article's been floating around for a while. They've clearly just changed the title.Ah I see, guess we have to wait then.
That trailer is amazing. Ultron is so damn creepy.
It doesn't really show anything though. It's just one long monologue.
I mean, I still am going to see it.
This demonstrated a brief glimpse of his suit in action, the CGI, Paul Rudd's mediocre acting ability and a few other tidbits. Looking through the comments, there's people who loved the teaser and those that hated it. If it didn't whet your appetite, that's simply your taste.
Marvel did their job. Mission accomplished. Showing the public little moments from the film and going "Ah, ah, that's all we'll give you for now."
Heck, they didn't need to show the powers if they didn't want to. Of course, it would've been disappointing if they didn't, but like I already stated, teasers don't usually show much. Therefore, I wouldn't have been surprised if they decided to venture that route.
I've seen plenty of teasers where barely anything was going on, and you just had to wait for an actual full-length trailer.
Anyway, teasers, sneek peeks or whatever you want to call it, all come down to mere glimpses. They're quite literally, "Here's a glimpse of what we've got cooking, now be patient for an extended look at a later date."
Uncharted 4's first teaser was simply a shot of a map, a knife, a compass and other exploration equipment sprawled across a table. While the camera panned across the equipment, there was mysterious dialogue playing in the background. While it didn't show much, it hyped up fans for the next entry in the Uncharted franchise. It sure as hell hyped me up.
...I'm sorry am I the only one that thinks the helmet looks like a bucket with a short elephant trunk?
Still though, a LITTLE light and color would be nice! XDBut PB they can't make Super Heroes and Fictional Cities unrealistic. 8D
I will probably see that buuuuuuuuut my ultimate dilemma with that movie is that I really dislike both Adam Sandler and Kevin James.But Peter Dinklage!
No, because it didn't release here yet.Wait, 2? Where is 2 out already?
Saw age of Ultron last night, it's was pretty awesome, I won't say better than Avengers 1 but definitely it's equal. Trailer for Ant-Man looks really good, Fantastic Four at the very least looks better than the previous two; Star Wars--didn't really tell me anything about the movie other than the CGI is good and the original cast is way to old to be part of this. 8D
And now I remain quiet about it until everyone else catches up. 8D
James Spader's sexy voice stole the show, honestly.
Just got home from seeing Avengers 2. It was a lot of fun, however I honestly think it's one of the more disjointed of the Marvel movies.I'm guessing the only good thing about BW was the booty?
Oh no, she was fantastic. I'd love for her to get her own solo movie one day.Uhhh...Okay, yeah maybe. xD But a lot of the people here who got the chance to see it were saying she wasn't good. Hope I get to see it some time.
...or are you just thinking of her booty in general, you naughty naughty Wanda you! 8D
Ultron stole the show, honestly.Pretty much. Like I said, James Spader's mocap... super creepy.
Those are the trailers you got?
We got Ant-Man, Pitch Perfect 2 (ugh), Mad Max and Star Wars (Which they just showed the teaser from the beginning of the year, not the newer trailer that came out last month. -AC)
Ultron stole the show, honestly.
some comedy about dancer/singers that made me dumber from just watching
People say Ultron stole the show, but here I am after watching the movie, impressed at how they handled Hawkeye.
Poor guy gets overshadowed by everyone else on the team and I loved how they addressed it. Great way to add layers to his character.
Yeah. Looks pretty awesome. Not to mention they're exploring an aspect of Superman that I've always felt needed a bit more exploration.
Also, saw Inside Out last Wed. Really really really good. Pixar crafted a brilliant movie right there.
One of the things I dislike about this movie already is how all the focus is seemingly going to be on The Joker and Leto’s portrayal of him, when in the grand scheme of things he’s the character I care about the least. Deadshot, who I already think looks way too "Will Smith heroic and bland," is much more interesting to me, as is Amanda Waller, Katana, Enchantress, and so on. I think that’s primarily why I’m slightly disappointed with this trailer thus far.
Still willing to give it a chance, but right now I’m just kinda meh about the whole thing.
Ant Man was watched. Ant Man was enjoyed thoroughly.
But holy [parasitic bomb], Marvel, I'm tired of your one-dimensional villains. Loki is basically the only antagonist they got right.
Maybe its because I'm on a small screen but i didn't see a spot of Spider-Man at all, saw Black Panther though and thought that was kinda cool.

I don't know what this is, but I have to see it now.
Soooo....
Who all has their tickets for Star Wars? What do you plan to wear?
Thursday was the soonest I could get tickets. I plan to wear my Javva the Hutt shirt, Fett hoodie, and Imperial officer cap.
Have to leave the lightsaber at home, though. :c
Soooo....

First off; BB8's thumbs up game is on point.
Anyways, it was good cinematography. Really easy to watch movie. One of the better composed movies I've seen this year. (And that's going against Fury Road.)

but everything else aside, it was okay. Finn was easily my preferred of the two protagonists because he had actual character. Antagonists leave a lot to be desired. I don't get what Kylo's deal is but he is a pretty badly-written character.
On an unrelated note, I've spent the past month or so going through every single James Bond film. They're about a solid 30-70 for top notch stuff while the rest are enjoyable for their camp and in my opinion, only one is complete garbage.And which one was the garbage?
I hate every other Bond. Timothy is one of my least favorites, along with Daniel Craig.
But hey, at least they're not Lazenby.
I'll say it again for emphasis.
At LEAST they're not Lazenby.
Can we get a new Bond though seriously?
I really want Idris Elba to be the next Bond; he's a remarkable actor. But it's most likely not gonna happen.
Personally, I think the worst Bond is Roger Moore, despite the fact that The Spy Who Loved Me is one of the best Bond movies.
Personally, I think the worst Bond is Roger Moore, despite the fact that The Spy Who Loved Me is one of the best Bond movies.
It was a bit campy, but I think my overall problem with Moore was that he very rarely came across as threatening. Although I will say that For Your Eyes Only is an underrated Bond flick.My single problem with that film, and this ties into Moore as a whole, is him getting together with the much younger female lead at the very end. He was more like a father figure to her all the way through, especially since he was just trying to keep her safe from going overboard with revenge. In general though, Moore felt too old for the role from that movie onward. It made most of the arbitrary romance scenes a bit questionable. Heck, he's 3 years older than Connery to begin with, so even he felt wrong about it by the end.
BREAK BREAD WITH THE ENEMY
BUT NO MATTER HOW MANY CATS I BREAK BREAD WITH

im not even a hip hop fan but this song is like my sole exception
Rey. Is. Bae.
...Okay, I'll give you that. She's kind of cute.
Also, I can't wait to see Deadpool. That movie looks so good and silly!
Oh god now that I can read the TV Tropes for Episode 7 I just read something really hilarious.[spoiler]When I saw the movie the first time, I thought that BB-8 WAS giving Finn the finger.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]While it looks like BB-88 is giving Finn a Blow Torch Thumbs Up, it's equally possible that he was giving him the bird![/spoiler]
Whether it's the former or latter BB-8 is still best droid.

That fight scene at the beginning was pretty awesome, indeed.

Woooooo!!
I mean, I'm much much much MUCH more excited about the Trek TV show than I am the movie.
And it has Fuller, who made Hannibal, one of the greatest TV shows ever made.
Not even so much the network, but the fact that they plan for this to be an online show only.
Yeah, supposedly! Not sure exactly where or when yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

Peter is the only constant. Harry, MJ, Gwen... all gone, apparently.
It's quite strange, considering all the other MCU movies are faithful in maintaining characters from the source material.
