Movie Review Thread

I realise that it was never going to be more than a B+ movie, but I at least expected one or two memorable, amazing scenes in it, and it didn't deliver that for me.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

And Lundgren surviving at the end really annoyed me, and that they appear to be friends again makes it even stupider.

If you take it too seriously then you will be disappointed. Last night a bunch of friends and I saw the first one in anticipation of the 2nd one. Its a silly movie. With a handle of vodka and some rum, its a lot of fun. We basically drank whenever Stallone spoke and we couldnt understand him. Which was often. Most of us were quite drunk last night as a result. I couldnt drink because I had to drive home. The ending fight scene was the best. I mean come on, how awesome is Statham kicking a guys head off? We all drank to that.

10/10 Taken

Crafted by forged by a gods very flame, this movie is one of the best I have seen in a very long time. I have been in a movie slump and I was in a mood to watch something and a friend said about Taken. At first, I thought the name sounded like it is going to be some supernatural movie involving ghosts, I had totally no idea of what to expect (as a note: they also recommended me to watch Supernatural and other such themed things.) It is actually a very packed action movie which moves at a brisk pace.

Whats funny is that one can pretty much say this about any movie: get drunk and it will be better.

I will watch it on DVD

True, but even people who dont like it must admit that its a total mangasm movie.

[Major Robert Dump]

I have never seen one man so excited about a movie. I am concerned for your well-being, and hope it is everything you hope for. Otherwise, call me if you want to talk.

[Hooahguy]

Sorry, I just got very excited when Jason Statham freaking kicked a guys head off.

Saw The Town this weekend. Think Heat with bad accents and a happier ending. Blake Lively skanks up quite nicely, and Renner steals the show.

I tried to make a gif of the bit where Terry Crews blows people up with his shotgun to use as my forum avatar to prepare for Expendable II. Couldn't get it right though.
This movie is right up there with TDKR on the excitement scale.

[Prussian to the Iron]

I'm gonna have to side with Hooahguy on this one. Ignoring the plot and dialogue, both Expendables are testosterone-filled shoot-em ups that, while not thought provoking, will most likely be classics some day just for the sheer awesomeness. If you want plot or deep characters, you won't like it. If you are in the mood to see **** blow up everywhere and a bunch of action movie stars shooting up a small jungle island or Albania, both are great fun to watch.

Finally got around to seeing The Cabin in the Woods. Outstanding, and very clever. Kind of a meta-meta-slasher film. If you dig good writing, you will enjoy.

One of the best movies I have ever watched. Period. It was only shown in one cinema in Australia (and then after a ton of lobbying) and then only for a handful of weeks, but I caught it twice in that time and it was just as good the second time, if not better.

[Fragony]

Never heard of it, trailer reminds me a bit of Resident Evil (the game)

[Fragony]

Heh just watched it, that sure wasn't a waste of time. A shame UPC-on demand has horrible sound and because it's UPC-on demand the subtitles didn't work so I had a hard time hearing the conversations. Always something, sometimes no sound, sometimes half the image, random disconnections, not being able to pause. Do NOT get UPC

Expendables 2

Simply put, it was amazing. Literally it was one massive mangasm after the other.
Chuck Norris stole the show with Jason Statham in second place (seriously, his fight scenes were ridiculous).
The plot actually wasnt so bad. Much better than the first one.

10/10

Never watched Top Gun, until now. Dog-fights aside... awful. I never want to watch Tom Cruise sing in a bar ever, ever again.

[naut]

Highly recommend. The fight scenes are a thing of beauty.

[Fragony]

The Hunger Games, better than the book. Katniss is a very shallow character in the book but the lead actress gives her a lot more depth with tiny details, she is very charming

[Hooahguy]

Highly recommend. The fight scenes are a thing of beauty.

I heard that it was a great movie. Ill need to watch it sometime.

[Major Robert Dump]

The Raid is done by the guy who did the low budget monster movie "monsters" which was surpringly good despite its low budget and no name actors. He is also going to be doing the Godzilla remake, as they are brushing the Matthew Broderick travesty under the rug and pretending it never happened.


I highly recommend "Attack the Block."
It tKes place in London during an alien invasion, and the protagonists are a bunch of annoying chavs. Pretty funny all in all, and the main gangster kid is a dead ringer for Denzel Washington.

Walking Dead season 2 here we go

[Major Robert Dump]

the Raid was freaking awesome. I went and bought it, its US release it was renamed to The Raid: Redemption, probably to avoid confusion with the WWII movie.....

Then I did some internet research..... and the US is already doing a remake of the film. Hollywood has no shame, man. I mean really, the movie is like 2 years old, I suppose you cannot expect americans to read subtitles, I'm sure they will replace the Indonesian martial arts fights with some Vin Diesal mma crap, yay

[naut]

Straight after watching it I thought about how a Western remake would go, so I'm not surprised they are making one.

Iron Man (1)

Nice. 7/10

[Strike For The South]

7? A 7!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!

[Fragony]

If Kraz gives a seven he really liked it

[Major Robert Dump]

I am very disappointed that no one at the org ever bothered to mention that the Natalie Portman ballet movie about swans featured a scene of her pleasuring herself while an old lady sleeps nearby. That is like two birds with one stone. This thread is losing its credibility

[Fragony]

Good movie, I like Nathalie Portman, she doesn't shy away from controversial scenes

[Kralizec]

7? A 7!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!

All right, have it your way: 6/10 it is.

That movie is my guilty pleasure.

Anyone looking for a movie to watch with their significant other may I suggest Muzi v Nadeji. You'll get props for foreign, sappy and subtitles.

I watched Ted t'other day. It made me laugh.
