Movie Review Thread

[Decker]

Seven Samurai- So I finally saw what everyone is dubbing an epic masterpiece, and I must say I was impressed. I'm not drooling over it like I've seen posters from various parts of the net do, but I will say it definitely is one of the best films I have seen.
9/10

Chopper- A movie about an Australian who was a "Robin Hood" and it follows him during a period of his life. I must say I don't really know the history of the guy, but it was a funny movie and Eric Bana was hilarious, not to mention there was a time where I forgot it was him lol.
7/10

Anyone seen Observe and Report yet?

[Decker]

Don't Mess With the Zohan - Stupid funny with some good jokes here and there that had me laughing pretty good. Not to mention the supporting "Palestinian" actress was really hot!
6/10 <- Tho I wouldn't watch it again ... well maybe to just see that actress again ;)

De Lift, old dutchie horror that scared the crap out of me when I was young, as it turns out it's still every bit as effective as it was 25 years ago. Is a renegade elevator scary? Damn straight a renegade elevator is scary. Contains one of the most chilling scenes in a horror-movie ever made even if it looks fake. It looked fake 25 years ago and now it looks rediculous but it's so very horrifying regardless. More then just nostalgia it's still a great movie that really gets under your skin.

Southland Tales. Terrible. -100/10

re: Watchmen

I was talking about the movie version, not the graphic novel. The graphic novel's ending makes sense. My feeling of the film's ending was that Nixon goes 'blah blah we're united in fighting Dr. M.'..but Dr. M, for all the people of the world know, is a rogue American. Everyone in the world, excepting the what, three, four people in Antarctica, think Dr. M. blew up a ton of the world. So wouldn't everyone unite against the US? That was my point.

Also, damn, I hate that 'American' rather than 'America' typo. I feel so dumb, lol :/

Anyway, Vanilla Sky.

Good film. It made me horribly depressed though. I forgot Tom Cruise was once a good actor. Also, Penelope Cruz! :D

10/10
such a powerful movie, and is very appropriate to watch, especially in our times.

Just saw it. Pretty bad movie. Unbearable in parts. But oh my is Emmanuelle Chriqui hawt!

[Sasaki Kojiro]

GI Joe--great
Inglourious Basterds--great

ok so I suck at movie reviews. Well if you liked the trailers for these two you'll like the movie.

[Hooahguy]

Inglorious Basterds
an overall good movie but i felt detached from it due to some scenes were too laughable. but overall it was good.
8/10

[seireikhaan]

Inglorious Bastards: 9/10.

Was a bit dull for awhile, and I didn't care for some of the minor characters. However, some truly great scenes, Pitt was excellent, and the German commander played his role brilliantly.

Also, the end was fairly unexpected, for which I congratulate Tarantino on his creativity.

[Ronin]

Inglorious Basterds was out-freaking-standing. I can some it up in one sentance...

"Let me introduce you to my friend, The Bear Jew!"

what about...

"Well I speak the most Italian, so I'll be your escort."

followed by:

"Bon Giorno!"

"But I don't speak Italian"

"Like I said, third best."

Thanks to Fragony et al who had recommended it years ago. It has been in my archive since then but I hadn't had the chance to watch it until my friend, at whose I was a guest yesternight, happened to have it ready.

Blessed is our generation. Carise van Houten was born in 1976. We never gets old my precious, we dont!

Che

Finished part two yesterday. Che is a decent biopic of one of the most influential figures in history. However, the movie is way too long, but Benicio Del Toro's stunning performance somehow makes it less boring. I think a movie about the icon of pop culture could've been more exciting and emotional.

8/10 for a biopic.

Hardly robin hood, he's a violent thug and everyone knows it, but he'd kinda funny so we put up with him and sketch shows make funnies about him.

I just watched monsters vs aliens,
Its a good kids movie with excellent animations, and enough gags for it to be quite enjoyable for the grown ups. Perfect family movie.

[Marshal Murat]

Great, now I'm watching all the orsm vids on Chopper.

[a completely inoffensive name]

I know I am gonna get some flak for this but....

I thought Teen Wolf Too was better then the original Teen Wolf.

[Hooahguy]

Zulu
my rating: 10/10
definitely one of the best war movies ever made

[Beefy187]

Red Cliff part I: 7/10

Amazing scale!! Beutiful battle scenes. Nice side plots going on. I had to take away two points, one for the fact that they had to cut the movie just before the epic battle started and also for the incredibly fast tempo between scene.. Maybe the directers cut might be amazing. Second for the fact that its bit hard to follow if the audience doesn't know all the characters in it. Finally the computer graphic looks a bit fake some times, due to the epic scale.

I will definitely go and watch Part II.

[The Fuzz]

Watchmen.

Horrible.

I was shocked when I read the end in the book. In the movie...what? SPOILERS --> A rogue American bombs a ton of places in the world, and people make peace? Wouldn't everyone bomb American then? I didn't care about the characters despite liking them in the book, the acting was by and large atrocious(looking at that ditsy chick especially), and the songs were blasting at really stupid times. Good work, director, that song's lyrics are relevant to the plot. It doesn't mean you need it blasting louder than the dialogue.

3/10

[Fragony]

Lambs and Lions. Wait, didn't I see this movie before? Just one page ago?? Well there we go again, several storylines, but guess what, drumroll, THEY ARE ALL CONNECTED!! Is it getting old? Yes, it is getting very old.

Umm, I don't think you fully understood what happened....

[Puzz3D]

Wouldn't everyone bomb American then?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

No because they don't know who did it. America was hit as well, so everyone assumes the attack came from an alien source. I had a problem with the lack of radioactive fallout in the movie's ending which most likely is why the book's ending is non-nuclear, but it's even more far fetched so I had a problem with that as well. I was hoping for an ending that was, let's say, a little more profound in both the movie and the book. It's a bit of a cheap plot device, but it is a way to wrap up the story quickly. Watchmen askes the question, "Who makes the World?". It's something worth thinking about even if there is no ultimate answer.

To clarify. The rogue American had placed these infinite energy sources based off of Dr. Manhattan (thats his name right?) He was trying to avert the end of the world by detonating these devices, causing the world to unite against the Dr. They don't think its a rogue American who has set these devices off, they think it is the main blue super hero.

And I just finished watching Cadillac Records. It is a definite 9/10 in my book. Great music, good acting, easy to follow story, and best of all good looking women. :P

[Ramses II CP]

Adventureland

Not as funny as I had expected, but an okay film for the genre. Yeah, I guess the chick is hot, but all the chicks in these are hot and this one is really not my type. Not worth seeing in the theater, but maybe a rental if you can get a woman who is into jurassic rock to watch it with you.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Saw Get Smart.

A good movie! It was pretty darn funny, especially since I watched it with some friends, and the story held up well enough. A thumbs up for entertainment.
