Cliffhanger 7.5/10

This is really underrated. Cliffhanger is an amazing action adventure movie of the 90's. However one character from the story is really unbelievable. John Lithgow's. I seriously couldn't buy that weird accent that's a mix of Hannibal Lector and some posh British guy. He should have just stuck with his normal voice. Aside from that I really liked the cinematography and some of the slow-mo shots that were shot at 96 fps. They were pretty ahead of their time.

The locations were absolutely stunning and beautiful! This movie makes me wanna go on an adventure far away from this dreaded city life. I wanna climb mountains...sleep in a tent at night and drink my own pee. :lol:

The special features are hilarious. it's like you're watching a promo for Stallone's next movie Demolition Man and he's even in uniform LOL.

21 Jump Street

Was a little nervous going to see it, but ended up laughing my arse off

8/10

[Nuvian]

Wrath of the Titans (2012): 6/10
A lot of action and CGI eye candy.
VERY thin plot and weak characters makes this movie very unmemorable.

[brebaz]

Contraband: 6/10

Didn't like the ending very much and the twist was not surprising at all.

[Tven]

No Strings Attached - so/so romcom about 2 friends ending up going beyond 'friends 2with benefits' ( a la Mila Kunis' similar flick). the film made me realise that Natalie Portman is more adorable than outright sexy, i.e. you want to hug hyer more than f*** her. 6.5/10

just got back from watching this had to be one of the funniest films of the year, the bit on the running track had me in stitches hah

[omr11a]

Last movie I watched was Ocean's Eleven, I would rate 72%.

[DreDayDetox]

Now for my actual review of why I loved Cabin in the Woods:

This horror movie is the movie to end all horror movies. It literally redefines the whole genre while somewhat taking a stab at it because of how predictable and cliche a horror movie can be. But aside from that it also has a very cool twist and it's sorta revealed in the trailer but there's more to it. Now I HATE horror movies and the genre because of it's overly cliche characters...plots and monsters but this movie literally changed my opinion and I'm into the genre again. Sadly I don't think I'll ever see a horror this good ever again. The last half hour is the best..it's a massive wet dream for the hardcore horror fan and even for the average fan who has always wanted to such a large mash-up be in a movie. Do yourselves a favor and watch it while it's still in theaters. If you hate horror like I do then this movie will restore your faith as the saying goes.

Annie Hall: 6/10

I'm no woody allen fan but I wanted to give this movie a shot. Its the best of his works that ive seen. pretty nice tale with no real point. I know his talkies arent my thing but I still kind of want to see his newer movies that have those ensemble casts. The trailers make them look so interesting. The new one in Rome looks good.

[RaY_210]

Actually better than I thought it would. If you the first three (the main ones), you'll enjoy this one

This Means War

Typical McG movie. More of a date movie. A couple jokes here and there might catch. I will say there's one shot in particular where Pine finally beds Witherspoon, the last shot you see is her lying on a table in bra and undies... the lighting and make-up she looks really hot.

And Tuck's ex is pretty hot too.

ANNIE HALL is his best film, by far, so I can't promise you'll love TO ROME WITH LOVE. Check out his recent films MIDNIGHT IN PARIS and VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA. ANNIE HALL is one of my top ten favorite films of all time. I expected it to be dated since it came out in 1977, but it was really smart and funny.

Witherspoon is hot. She doesn't seem like the most intelligent person but yeah she's fine. McG is a horrible director though.

Reese unfortunately adopted the super skinny trend, but still mostly she's hot. From talk shows she seems like a personable person, fun and nice. She picks Jennifer Aniston movies on occasion but they enjoy the cheesy romps.

I prefer my women to have curves and round protruding posteriors, but I'd still go for her.

[RedDragon7]

Women should definitely have curves. Shakira is still my top. Singers somehow don't seem as bothered with those trends, thankfully. There are actresses though that still stand fast to it. Hayden was my favorite in that respect. May not be the best actress, but she looked hot.

Shit.



Man on a Ledge: 6.5/10

I liked this, but it's nowhere near great and some stuff could have been edited out, like the unecessary comic humor, but Genesis Rodriguez is my new found crush. She's such a cutie in this movie.


God Bless America: 8.5/10

Now this here, folks is a movie for people who fantasize. It's pretty pretentious too with all the jabs its taking at very famous people, which I'm sure TRF would not agree with a line in particular in the movie (not gonna spoil it, you should see this) lol. This movie is the ultimate wet dream and I've always wanted to make a movie like this, about people who have a problem with whatever they hate about the world. Too late.

Have you ever wanted to kill someone over the smallest thing? This movie helps you play out that fantasy and it talks to you as the viewer through philosophical and ideological dialogue from the two lead characters who are protagonists or antagonists according to you and/or society in general.

But by no means should you do what is happening in this film, because when it all comes down to it, these people are extremely irrational. And you'll probably go to prison for eternity. God Bless America is a fun, black comedy for the whole family! A political and general satire of America and it certainly feels like it could be the prequel to Southland Tales, even though the director is not from Donnie Darko, but certainly from his production company.

This is a movie that will get you talking after it ends, trying to rationalize why they did what they did and a very good movie to watch if you're having a shitty day. Falling Down is another good movie to watch that's just like this, except it came out before this in the 90's and it stars a disgruntled and fed up Michael Douglas.

However some things could have been taken out out of the movie because it makes its points a little too obvious at times and it makes you think "Ok, I get it already, you hate so and so because of this, now move on". But that's really it. Do yourselves a favor when you're pissed off or bored, watch God Bless America.

Thank me later.

[RedDragon7]

Wanna see GBA. It's over the top in some parts of the trailer... I mean mowing down the american idol set is obviously OTP but some of it is kinda spot on. I want to see it for the satirical take on America.

TBH, until seeing a couple good reviews in here I had deemed this movie "The most ridiculous, stupid looking movie of the year." Now I'm interested.

Fair enough … I totally would, I'm just saying I don't think she's very pretty is all. But she's the kinda girl that could be gorgeous with a great personality. But damn is she curvy and I love it.

'We Bought A Zoo' - when I first heard this title last year I thought, "What the hell? And Matt Damon is in it!?". I still wanted to watch it and I'm glad I did.
Even when I was watching it I couldn't get my head around Matt Damon being in a film like this, as at first it seemed like a kid comedy, but as it went on it turned out to be a feel-good and inspirational film, which is what I like!
And the soundtrack was something else, I thought. It was great!

At first the premise is quite strange, and probably is for the remainder of the film, but all in all, a really good film in my opinion.

8/10

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP6vWDUfgpo&amp;hd=1Forgot to comment on this. Akira is one my top 10, both a great movie and a triumph in animation. I always end up comparing it to Blade Runner, both are deep sci-fi flicks although this one has a great deal more action.

The only anime I bothered with on Blu-ray (not say there aren't other great anime features, this one strikes me the most).

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol 8.5/10- Awesome action. Decent plot. Cool gadgets.

Recently I saw a film called GOD BLESS AMERICA, about a man who is sick of the deterioration of American society and decided to kill people he feels don't deserve to live (political talk show hosts that sell fear; reality stars; etc.). It's a comedy but it's not very funny. It's actually quite depressing. That being said, I really liked it. Performances were excellent and there was so much truth to the film even though it broke no new ground intellectually.

I give it an A- . Expect a full review to br posted here at some point, assuming anyone read or cared about the ones I posted.

Well, the film takes jabs at a lot of people but it's not always wrong. Besides, I ain't a Woody Allen nut. I've only seen maybe five of his films.

I think, and maybe I'm looking too much into it, but I think that the film is sort of a study of nature versus nurture. Here you have this society with questionable morals, but then you have the protagonists, who allegedly set themselves apart from the rest of said society but still find violence as a feasible resort to take. So maybe that cruelty is not just present in modern America, but perhaps it exists in all mankind.

I'm probably over-analyzing though …

You're totally not, I've literally said the same thing after the movie ended "this isn't just in America, but most of the world too". The part where he says that it's a modern coliseum is absolutely right. American Idol does make fun of its bad singers and William Hung just wanted to cash-in on his horrible voice. I will admit that it does over-saturate the point a little too much in some of the scenes where he's watching TV, but he dialogue is the best part of it for me....oh and when he shoots the people talking in the theater and the douchebag who can't park his car properly. It made me think of personal experiences.

It made me think of personal experiences.
My favorite part is when the main character basically describes the setting we live in when he's talking to the co-worker he shares his office with.

Frank: Oh, I get, and I am offended. Not because I've got a problem with bitter, predictable, whiny, millionaire disk jockeys complaining about celebrities or how tough their life is, while I live in an apartment with paper-thin walls next to a couple of Neanderthals who, instead of a baby, decided to give birth to some kind of nocturnal civil defense air-raid siren that goes off every fuckin' night like it's Pearl Harbor. I'm not offended that they act like it's my responsibility to protect their rights to pick on the weak like pack animals, or that we're supposed to support their freedom of speech when they don't give a fuck about yours or mine.
Office Worker: So, you're against free speech now? That's in the Bill of Rights, man.
Frank: I would defend their freedom of speech if I thought it was in jeopardy. I would defend their freedom of speech to tell uninspired, bigoted, blowjob, gay-bashing, racist and rape jokes all under the guise of being edgy, but that's not the edge. That's what sells. They couldn't possibly pander any harder or be more commercially mainstream, because this is the "Oh no, you didn't say that!" generation, where a shocking comment has more weight than the truth. No one has any shame anymore, and we're supposed to celebrate it. I saw a woman throw a used tampon at another woman last night on network television, a network that bills itself as "Today's Woman's Channel". Kids beat each other blind and post it on Youtube. I mean, do you remember when eating rats and maggots on Survivor was shocking? It all seems so quaint now. I'm sure the girls from "2 Girls 1 Cup" are gonna have their own dating show on VH-1 any day now. I mean, why have a civilization anymore if we no longer are interested in being civilized?

I was a lot more excited about this doc, thinking it would be hilarious. In reality it was much more mild but not bad.

Batman Begins 10/10

Totally agree, awesome film!

[DreDayDetox]

Underworld 4: 6.5/10

A decent attempt at adding to the series, but it's not any better than the others. The first one will always be the best. Oh and Kate Beckinsale in body tight latex is good enough reason to watch this movie.


Grindhouse

Terror Planet: 7/10

Didn't really get into this one, I think it was overkill with homage to the 70's and 80's horror, but I did like the clever universe he set up here. They're all in the present time, yet they think like they're in the 70's. I liked From Dusk til Dawn a lot more than this.

Death Proof: 10/10

Now this one was paying homage right. It didn't go overkill with the setting, I mean you could still see it, but the dialogue was fresh and kept you in the present the whole time. It's a love letter to car chase movies and Kurt Russell as Stuntman Mike is badass. I was actually rooting for the villain. This is by QT, so I knew it was gonna be good. Mary Elizabeth Winstead in her cheerleader outfit inspires all kinds of thoughts and boners. :lol:

K-19: The Widowmaker -7.5/10-

Sherlock Holmes - A Game of Shadows: 7.5/10


I liked this one a little more than the previous and Rob Downey does a phenomenal English accent. Him and Jude Law are an unstoppable force. That being said, I still couldn't get into it. But I really like the cinematography and those goPro camera shots. This was pretty experimental in the camera shots department, as are most of Guy Ritchie's films.

Alien: Director's Cut: 7.5/10

This is my first time seeing any of the Alien movies (i know). I thought it was really good. I love really well worked sci fi movies because there isnt a moment of bordem in them. I'm glad the annoying black guy didnt die first. I wish Lambert died earlier. she was useless. the movie was 2 hours long but felt short. I hope the sequels are as good! Also its really great watching a sci fi movie that isnt full of digital effects. Sure the alien looked a little bit hokey but for 79 it was pretty good and didnt bother me much. What I really liked though was the design of the ship and the alien ship where the eggs were.

damn, i guess i am ready to be disappoint whenever i come around to it. im guessing Aliens was made in a way to appeal to the most amount of people (thats what Cameron does). but do the other films still have the same 'cool sci fi' feel with mystery and suspense thatkeeps you glued to the screen? Also, when does she fight it with one of those robotic crate mover mechs.

Even that movie isn't nearly as suspenseful, more action packed (it is cameron after all). It's saving grace is that mech scene.

ALIEN RESURRECTION (Jean Pierre-Jeunet, 1997) — C-

This film was just really silly. Everything from the acting to the camerawork to the overall look of the film was just goofy, and the laughable effects didn't help either.

CHOCOLATE (Prachya Pinkaew, 2008) — B

It's got an odd premise, and while the protagonist can be annoying at times, the fight scenes are awesome and the movie does have some genuinely sad and touching moments.

Se7en: 7.5/10 (almost gave it a 7/10 to stick with a terrible pun)

I gotta say, maybe its just because this film is like 15 years old but i was kind of expecting more from the dialogue, especially at the beginning. it just seemed like such standard dialogue in a detective movie. It wasn't cheesy or cliche but it didnt feel that real either. Also, though I dont think he did a bad job, this kind of Brad Pitt is my least favorite Brad Pitt. But it was interesting to see the similarities, especially in the speaking style between Det. Mills and his character Goines from 12 Monkeys, which also came out that year. I mean the similarities are striking. Though I will say that speaking style with those mannerisms worked in 12 Monkeys because Goines was crazy but it doesnt work as well with hot-headed. The ending was cool because the build up was so impressive. The actual truth was less dramatic than the bad guy described it would be, but I couldnt imagine an ending that grand. I was able to guess his final act before the reveal but I wouldnt call it obvious. It was a fun "oh man, dont tell me its ____" guess, not an "its obvious" guess. I'm also really glad they saved that last credit until the very end and I was very happy to see that actor when he chose to reveal himself. Overall, I liked the film but I think people hyped it up a little more than what I felt about it.

Seeing as how this movie was directed by John Woo, I was expecting to see some cool action scenes (having loved Hard Boiled) but this ended up being a very watered-down corporate thriller.

Margin Call 8/10

Not a bad movie if you can understand its business talk jargon. You get a POV from the "bad guys" that us, regular people hate so much, see what's going on with their lives in the midst of the 2008 financial crash. It's a movie about who stays on top and who goes down, unless they play along. Makes you hate the big guys even more. Aside from that it's nicely shot and Kevin Spacey does a great job, but I like Stanley Tucci a little more. Good watch.


The Machinist: 10/10

Loved every minute of this film and it just goes to show what a method actor Cristian Bale is. He lost so many pounds for this role that he literally looks unhealthy in this film and keep in mind he had to shoot Batman Begins the following year, so he had to put a lot of pounds back on, plus get in shape for the role. Aside from that, he acts out a schizophrenic very well. The film sure has nice direction, cinematography and most noticeable of all, atmosphere. The music is absolutely amazing and so is the look of this film with the greys and blues, generally depressing and industrial colors. If there was a sequel to Memento, this would be it, but instead, this is an original piece of work. Do yourselves a favor and watch it. Put this on my to-buy list for blu-rays.

So, I have some questions about the ending to those that have seen it. So, Reznik is really the bald guy and the bald guy is his imaginary character that is a manifestation of his mind? The bald guy leads him to the truth? Or his insomnia and schizophrenia lead him to the truth? When he mentions he didn't sleep in a year, is that because of the nightmares of him killing that kid when he did a hit-n-run? And he finally realizes it in the end that that's him?

WHAT A MOVIE. Enjoyed every part of it and loved how all the heroes interacted with each other. Some of the best CGI scenes produced and some moments that had me in stitches! Some of the best battle scenes ive ever seen and have no diea how ANY film can top this, even the dark knight rises will probably not be able to!

Only problem is that i watched the 3D version, 2d was sold out and not on for a few hours. Even the annoying glasses did not ruin this movie. Cant wait to watch it again in 2D!

Well I think he said he was going to stop doing this, and I hope so. Its really damaging on your body to lose 60 pounds for The Machinist and then gain 100 pounds for Batman Begins.

ALIEN VS PREDATOR (Paul W.S. Anderson, 2004) — C+

One of his better movies but still not too good. It's really bad in the first half but the second half, while stupid, is mildly entertaining.

ALIEN VS PREDATOR: REQUIEM (Brothers Strause, 2007) — D+

Terrible movie. The film features a fucking Predalien, which should be really cool, but you can barely tell what is happening in the action scenes. That's what really kills the film, because the bad acting and weak writing I can live with.

FUTURAMA: BENDER'S GAME (Dwayne Carey-Hill, 2008) — B+

As per the usual with Futurama, some of the humor is forced and kinda lame, but when it works, it really works. The pacing is also perfect for the film. If you're not a Futurama fan then it won't change you but most Futurama fans should find some enjoyment in this film.

THE TERMINATOR (James Cameron, 1984) — A

It's a science fiction classic. I need not say more.


I guess yes. It wasn't as dramatic as the other drop, but im sure it was still painful. he was amazing as dicky.
He looked way worse in THE MACHINIST compared to THE FIGHTER but he made a pretty drastic change in that as well.

Much like director Kiyoshi Kurosawa's other film, Cure, Kairo might be off-putting to most viewers because of its slow pacing and subtle horror elements, which I've noticed is common for a lot of Japanese horror films. The premise itself is interesting with ghosts using the internet to invade our world and corrupt the human psyche. I also liked the dark and lonely atmosphere present throughout the film and how both central characters from the two storylines meet up with each other towards the end.

Akira 10/10

Woah...this movie is way ahead of its time and even today, it still asks the questions of the origin of the universe and us. This is like the unofficial sequel to Blade Runner, and it takes place in Tokyo, Japan. I mean, is it a coincidence that it's called Neo-Tokyo and the year is 2019? Anyway, aside from that this has some amazing visuals in animation. The level of detail and design in each shot is just spectacular. Now I wanna watch Ghost in the Shell. I was never into anime that much, (except when I was a kid, I would watch Dragon Ball Z everyday) but this movie makes me wanna watch all the popular animation flicks from Japan. Hollywood has actually tried to make a live action version of this movie, but they honestly wouldn't know where to start because they have their heads up their asses in appealing to a broader audience, and it would probably be pg-13. I hope the live action version never happens. It's just too pure and good for that.

I also noticed how Silent Hill burrows a bit from this movie. For example, the hallucinations Tetsuo has are like the Otherworld parts in the Silent Hill series. The toy bears dissolving is also in Silent Hill when the NPC breaks free from the Otherworld. Even South Park did an episode dedicated to Akira in the episode called "Trapper Keeper". It also nods to 2001: A Space Odyssey when Cartman talks like HAL.

And finally the thing I really liked the most about Akira was the characters, especially the Colonel. Here you think you have this one dimensional character who will always be a hard ass throughout the whole film, and he is, but there's also a human side to him. He cares about people and he knows that Akira's power is too strong.

Holy shit... go read a philosophy book straight up and see how your brain feels afterward. GitS is very dense in taking in applying a story to philosophies.

I watched it with subtitles and I had to pause it constantly (ok I'm not a fast reader) to get through multiple if not several sentences and sometimes reading it over again. Maybe anime is simply harder for me. I had a philosophy class that seemed easier lol (loved that class- philosophy can be very intriguing and a wonderful lesson in debating).

'Marvel's Avengers' - wanted to see this, but I'd heard great and roaring things about this. In the end, I wouldn't say it was shit, but I wouldn't say it was mind-blasting like others (from the people I heard about this from).
I laughed at the jokes more as some of them were a bit more unexpected from every other Marvel film, but the ending was typically "crash, bang, wallop". I suppose with all those "heroes" that's the only outcome there could be. I honestly wanted to see a scene at the end where they were all mucking in and helping out clean up :lol: Additionally, the ending was much like a Transformers film, so it didn't feel all that special.

I'd watch it again if it's on TV, and I know I must seem like I'm against Marvel or something, but I'm honestly thinking that The Dark Knight Rises is going to blow this out of the water, but I feel it'll be a completely different film altogether.

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY (James Cameron, 1991) — A

I'm not sure which film I like more: this or the first one. I think this could be the best action film of all time were it not for some major gripes. Two, actually. One, John Connor is so goddamn annoying. It's hard to cheer for a kid that was the Call of Duty-playing stereotype before it was even around. Second, the whole "humanity in machines" theme is just so heavy-handed and cheesy. I actually laughed when Ahnold gives the thumbs-up at the end. Aside from those two issues, the film is great. The effects are still decent even by today's standards (they're obviously not AVATAR but I've seen worse in films of recent years), and the action is really well-shot.

ERASERHEAD (David Lynch, 1977) — ??

I'm having a tough time giving this a rating. I think I loved it because it was so haunting and mesmerizing but I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing. It's like a bad nightmare but you can't seem to look away.

7/10Ya know when I first saw the trailer it had a very transformers scale to it (still does). I don't think your review is bad. I almost certainly will not give it a 10 or possibly even a 9. It's going to be a fun movie and that's it. It what it is. However with Whedon behind it, it can't be any less than 8 IMO. The script will not be remotely as subpar as transformers. Extra hour of failed character development and jokes that try too hard. But I know that's not really what you were saying, that's more just my opinion.

Yeah, I wanted to go deeper into anime as well. I tried out Ghost in the Shell. Holy shit... go read a philosophy book straight up and see how your brain feels afterward. GitS is very dense in taking in applying a story to philosophies.

I watched it with subtitles and I had to pause it constantly (ok I'm not a fast reader) to get through multiple if not several sentences and sometimes reading it over again. Maybe anime is simply harder for me. I had a philosophy class that seemed easier lol (loved that class- philosophy can be very intriguing and a wonderful lesson in debating).

I like Ghost In The Shell as well, but I feel that movie would be perfect if the pacing was sped up. I love philosophy in my movies as much as the next person, but I felt there was too much talking in that movie. The Matrix basically took Ghost In The Shell (and some other influences) and perfected it IMO. Just the right amount of philosophy and action.

[THUGGEDOUT]

Suicide Kings - 8.5/10 - Another gem of a film, really good acting from pretty much everyone in it, Christopher Walken is amazing and Dennis Leary is hilarious.

[RedDragon7]

It's tough to say. I agree and disagree. I don't think The Matrix is nearly as deep but I do agree that GitS has a lot of dialogue, hence its density. But it's hard to remove that without eliminating the philosophical aspects.

It also helps when the philosophy is presented in a slick, interesting way that explains the plot/setting as well. For example, the classic walk scene (which was philosophy, social commentary, and plot explanation all in one scene):


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn61D1egV_Q

Whereas Ghost In The Shell just had a lot of sitting around and talking. It sometimes felt forced. The Matrix sequels made the same mistake, like with the Merovingian scene, which was interesting, but felt forced compared to the first movie.

[RedDragon7]

Talking to the wrong guy at this point. Tarantino movies have sitting around with lots of dialogue and it works very well.

I wrote a short story where it's dialogue heavy with minimal action.

It's not to say dialogue is the only way, as visuals can do the same thing. The opening of blade runner for instance. 2001 Space Odyssey being the biggest example. That walk scene has some social commentary but it's not that deep. A brisk walk through social class hierarchy and then it's over.

[DINAMO788]

Speaking of another uniquely dialogue heavy director, Midnight in Paris (first 15 minutes): 3/10

I think I want to enjoy woody allen movies but I just dont. The trailer to this film looked great and it got a lot of acclaim so i was excited to give another one of his films a shot. First thing that rubbed me the wrong way. The lame and UNNECESSARILY long intro. It was literally 3-4 at least of showing nothing happening around Paris from morning to night, with cheesy parisian music in the background. Youre establishing the setting and the feel of it, i get it. gimme a minute of that or whatever, but dont make me sit there for 4 minutes watching literally nothing relevant or significant happen all the while listening to some caricatured parisan music. whatever, i was able to get over that. Then I was introduced to the characters. Despite the fact that I hate Owen Wilson and the sound of his whiny voice, he was my probably favorite character up until i quit. Rachel McAdams was just too much bitch, way too quick. There was absolutely no subtly to the characters at all from the start. they all had incredibly in your face personalities from sappy (Wilson) to infuriating and intolerable(McAdams). The Pretentiousness of Michael Sheen's character was laid on so thick that I felt I was being slapped in the face to ensure that I understand that he was portraying a prick. I just dont understand why everyone is hollywood is dying to work with him. He movies are unique, I will give him that, his trait is dialogue which I know is appealing. But compared to someone like Tarantino's dialogue or even a movie like Lost in Translation or something, this just seems completely amateurish (and yes I know im probably crazy for using such a word in reference to a Woody Allen film)

[Ixion]

Talking to the wrong guy at this point. Tarantino movies have sitting around with lots of dialogue and it works very well.

That's because the dialogue feels very organic and natural whereas Ghost feels like a lecture.


That walk scene has some social commentary but it's not that deep. A brisk walk through social class hierarchy and then it's over.

It's only a 50 second scene, but it gets my point across on how to have dialogue and philosophy flow with the story and pacing.

THE AVENGERS (Joss Whedon, 2012) — B

I found this to be very underwhelming. The performances were fine and the action was pretty cool but the script was terrible. The humor is just shoved down your throat and it gets very annoying. Tony Stark is a dick, we get it. Steve Rogers is out of touch with modern culture. Thor is unfamiliar with the human world. Hulk is a ticking time bomb. Nine out of ten jokes revolve around these four "humorous" concepts and frankly it's headache-inducing. The action saves it from being completely awful, but as it stands, THE AVENGERS is a decent and serviceable popcorn flick that I would recommend seeing matinee.

And for reference:

THE INCREDIBLE HULK — A-
IRON MAN 2 — B+

RR is a big fan of deadpool so he'd be a great choice to capture the characters mannerisms.


I watched Tangled last night, pretty much just a different title for Repunzel. It was a decent film, the story was a little predictable but you can expect that from Disney films anyway really! The voice acting was really good and I'm glad they didn't overload the film with songs, sometimes I find that distracting for the main story.
The animation is amazing, there were some parts that I wanted to skip back and watch over again. There was a decent amount of humour as well, I'd say this film is definitely worth a watch if you like animated films! 8/10

THE AVENGERS is not written well. Whedon also did ALIEN RESURRECTION which was awful. And he did Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel if I recall? Neither are too good. I would like to see Firefly and Dollhouse at some point though.

21 Jump Street: 7/10

Pretty hilarious. I never thought Channing Tatum could be funny, but he kinda is but Jonah Hill still steals the show and his written jokes are hilarious to watch, especially when he gets nervous and talks fast. I haven't watched the original before, and I've only heard of it when I was watching "Night at the Roxbury" as a kid. But it was nice to see that special cameo in this movie. And I've always questioned Tatum's character sexuality in this movie. What I really loved most was the background setting when they went back to high school. I loved the dialogue of how they compared their time to now. I can relate because I was also in high school at that time. So it's a fun and hilarious movie to watch. Never thought I'd see the day Ice Cube is a cop, and you can even hear a song of his in the movie, which made me LOL as the scene cut to him. Excellent product placement. :lol:

Open Range -7/10- Not a bad western, gun fight towards the end of the film was pretty good and probably a more realistic interpretation of how one would be.

HAYWIRE (Steven Soderbergh, 2012) — B+

Gina Carano isn't a great actor, but damn does she kick some ass. Most of the quality acting is handled by Ewan McGregor, Antonio Banderas, Michael Douglas, and Michael Fassbender, but the real heart of this film is the action. Soderbergh films the action sequences with long and medium distance camera shots. There is no shaky cam and no slipping quick editing; most fights are filmed in one continuous shot, and it works really well. It all feels realistic. I also liked the story structure. Overall, HAYWIRE is a smart and exciting spy thriller and I hope to see Gina Carano become a household name in the action genre.

THE GIANT MECHANICAL MAN (Lee Kirk, 2012) — B-

Jenna Fischer has an infectious and intoxicating charisma, and it's so easy to fall in love with her, but the story of this film is your basic indie schlock: two lonely souls are different than everyone else and feel lost in life until they meet each other and blah blah blah. I can recommend it solely for the chemistry between Fischer and Messina, but it's only a mild recommendation.

Even if you don't like Buffy it was a 90s classic like that of The Breakfast Club. After a certain point the show went downhill I believe Whedon had left at that point.

Regardless, Firefly is one of the best TV shows.

I actually liked ALIEN 3. As for ALIEN RESURRECTION, Joss Whedon doesn't get a free pass; he wrote the script and that, along with Jeanne-Pierre Jeunet's direction, made it horrible.

I could equate Buffy with the Breakfast club in terms of staples of a time, but not on quality. Also, the breakfast club was an 80s classic, not 90s but i get the point.

I also have not seen much of his work but from what I do know, he seems like a pretty cool dude. hes a big comic book fan and seems to really try and do right. I want to watch firefly and serenity and all that too. I just cannot fathom how a typical Studio action-blockbuster is worthy of a 10/10 rating. Theres just no way.

Spiderman 2 is one of the better superhero movies ... in fact, the final RT rating is 93% (same as The Avengers). It’s easily the best of the 3 Spiderman movies (origin stories are fun, but easy, and the goblin design was so-so at best, S2 had the genre down perfect).

Here we go again. I get that you don't like action movies with CGI, and it's not surprising that The Avengers is being compared to the work of Michael Bay with the trailers and explosions in them, but there's MUCH MORE to that than just explosions. Good editing and pacing where every hero has an equal amount of screen time, and great acting from Tom Hiddleston and Scarlett who steal the show several times.

I take it you're not into comics too much by this generalization and disregard of everyone's review on The Avengers calling it "bs" but it IS actually that good. And I'm fairly certain that TDKR will receive 10's only too. Have some faith.

I dont mind action with CGI, I just dont think it should be the forefront, or if it is, it should have an equally good story (think The Matrix). And I am pretty sure this is not just another michael bay-esque film. Im not comparing this to battleship or something. Its just that ive noticed over the course of many superhero movies being released, I've heard too many average/below-average superhero movies (I guess I have high expectations for this stuff because I know how deep it can get and how good they developed) receive scores of like 8 and 9, simply because fans liked seeing the superheroes they are fans of in a live action movie. I rate the original x-men trilogy (im the only one i know who loved Last Stand, but i'll explain that another time) and the Spiderman movies (excluding that pos #3) as top notch superhero movies. Everything else is below those, even everyones beloved Iron Man (which was still a very good movie but not a 9/10 movie or something like that). Thus, when i hear all these 10 out of 10s, im assuming you are saying that The Avengers is considerably better than any other superhero film out there (bar nolan's batman). I'm just going off my own experience listening to fan reviews and then seeing the movies myself, thats why i "call bs", not because I think that its not a good movie but because people are getting carried away.

And for the record, im a pretty big comic book fan. But its for that reason I look at a lot of these movies with pessimism because studios only see things films as cash cow blockbusters and they dont really give them the respect they deserve. Again, Batman being an exception, and X-men too i believe. I believe the original stories are so well crafted that the focus of any superhero movie should be the story and deep themes (and characters), and the action is just a complement to it, not the driving force.

But I do want to see The Avengers and I will watch it with an open mind (and optimism given all the praise!). Also, great acting from Scarlett who steals the show several times??? This i gotta see. I love the girl, but not for her acting.

I love this film, it's amazing how they were able to capture the gritty and gothic side of batman even though it's meant for kids. The story is great and gives some great insight on how the batman beyond series came to be, with bruce's retirement from being batman and getting someone to replace him.

This is probably my favourite scene, it's really twisted and almost brought a tear to my eye haha. I just love how batman goes mental and then what happens at the end

on the clip they don't show it, but after the video ends, robin keeps laughing, then starts crying and falls to his knees.

Batman Beyond was a great show and a wonderful follow-up to Batman: The Animated Series.

Yup, Return of the Joker was amazing. I watched the crap out of it when I was young, but at that time I didn't even understand english. Recently after 10 years or so I watched it again and it was so good. Batman will always be my favourite superhero

30 Days Of Night -7/10- Loved the gore in this film and the picture on blu-ray was impressive.
Ghostbusters -8/10- Never get tired of watching this, Rick Moranis is hilarious as well as Bill Murray.

Across The Universe - 5/10

Not bad, but I never really cared about the characters.

I dont mind action with CGI, I just dont think it should be the forefront, or if it is, it should have an equally good story (think The Matrix). And I am pretty sure this is not just another michael bay-esque film. Im not comparing this to battleship or something. Its just that ive noticed over the course of many superhero movies being released, I've heard too many average/below-average superhero movies (I guess I have high expectations for this stuff because I know how deep it can get and how good they developed) receive scores of like 8 and 9, simply because fans liked seeing the superheroes they are fans of in a live action movie. I rate the original x-men trilogy (im the only one i know who loved Last Stand, but i'll explain that another time) and the Spiderman movies (excluding that pos #3) as top notch superhero movies. Everything else is below those, even everyones beloved Iron Man (which was still a very good movie but not a 9/10 movie or something like that). Thus, when i hear all these 10 out of 10s, im assuming you are saying that The Avengers is considerably better than any other superhero film out there (bar nolan's batman). I'm just going off my own experience listening to fan reviews and then seeing the movies myself, thats why i "call bs", not because I think that its not a good movie but because people are getting carried away.

And for the record, im a pretty big comic book fan. But its for that reason I look at a lot of these movies with pessimism because studios only see things films as cash cow blockbusters and they dont really give them the respect they deserve. Again, Batman being an exception, and X-men too i believe. I believe the original stories are so well crafted that the focus of any superhero movie should be the story and deep themes (and characters), and the action is just a complement to it, not the driving force.

But I do want to see The Avengers and I will watch it with an open mind (and optimism given all the praise!). Also, great acting from Scarlett who steals the show several times??? This i gotta see. I love the girl, but not for her acting.

p.s. sorry for making this reply so long :(

No no, never too long of a response, amazing one actually. To be fair, I did rate it as a fanboy first, but there was something about this one that stood out from the rest of the Marvel films and I saw this in regular 3D, but for some reason, I was immersed in it, just like with MI4 Ghost Protocol, with the IMAX shots and all. And the same with TDK when I saw it. Funny you should mention X3, I still have it. I like the whole Dark Phoenix storyline, reminded me of the black and white graphic novel I bought when I was in grade 8.

I guess it was the experience that made me give Avengers a 10 and by that rating, I just mean to compare it to other Marvel films, but definately not the whole comic book genre as a whole cause Marvel and DC are two different camps. And I dunno if you liked Thor, but you'll like Loki even more in this one. And Mark Ruffalo reminds me of Bill Bixby's Hulk. But I'm seeing it again to watch it as a film this time.

Mission Impossible 4

7/10.

On topic: Saw The Avengers yesterday, just a generally awesome day, drinks, movies, awesome Mexican food ... all with this super hot/funny/interesting chick. Anyway, it fires on all cylinders, great character interaction, perfect handling of the Hulk, had a great comic book look and feel, funny, well balanced, great use of the previous movies for lead in. 9/10.

Apparently plenty of folks agreed (even in this thread): $200M+ weekend, biggest opening +ever+ (trounced the previous title holder, Harry Pooper), now with just this US weekend and the previous week overseas it’s done over $640 million!

Get your asses assembled for the sequel! :lol:

They set up the Avengers, but it's very subtle and after the credits of each movie. They're more standalone. And there's a youtube clip somewhere where all the end credits scenes of each movie from Iron Man 1 to Thor are shown, or even some trailer edits involving all those clips.

IMAX 3d Avengers.... 10/10. Best movie I have seen since The Dark Knight. Can not wait for everyone's single movie and another Avengers.
