Because it's not. A lot of people pretend to like it because they wish they were pretentious.

I've been meaning to see this one, but i sort of forgot about it. Saw a teaser in the theater a few months back and thought it looked pretty cool.

Okay the film ties together fine at the end but watching an entire film that's as discordant as this only to find that it was all a stitch up all along results in a movie that was unenjoyable with a final 5/10 mins of 'victory' at the end.

In the first one you thought they were succeeding for most of it and only had a brief period of uncertainty where things went tits up.. and the payoff for that was their success at the end.

Also the first one had that shit at the end where they all get together at the fountain. It was painfully cheesy and crossed the line that the film had for the most part expertly walked for the entire film. In the second one that section was longer and even more cheesy... and without all the same classiness for the rest of the film it sucked even harder.

^^ lol upset

reasons i liked it:
* the future created on film is just so creepy
* the acting is all very well done (i even liked julianne moore and generally speaking i fucking cant stand that cunt)
* the movie has very real concequence, and motivation for the main character. something missing in alot of "apocalyptic" films.
* the references to real-world facisim and genocidal atrocities is very well done without being preachey
* the cinematography is brilliant, with some extremely ambitious shots.
* you have to take in the whole scene, not just the people talking. nothing is truely "background"

Hmm. I wasn't really impressed with the atmosphere at all. Not only did it seem a little amateurish to me, but there were a lot of points in the movie where it felt like the screen just pushed me back out and made me think "What am I waiting for here? Is a revelation going to occur, or is this what everyone's been raving about?"

TBH, when I finally saw the ending of the movie, I was torn between relief that it was over, and contempt for the fact that they'd led me on such a meandering, yet intently purposeful chase without even offering any real closure to the biggest issue in the film.

V For Vendetta - 10/10

Completely blew me away. What a brilliant movie. Nice similarities with the current US as well. Only Hugo Weaving could've pulled off such an articulate character.

The Queen 8/10

I was pretty impressed..it was a good movie. They made T. Blair seem like a pretty cool guy. It was pretty funny to see how the Royals live in such a vacume....Prince Philip is such a fucking Jackass.

Stomp The Yard

Not enough stomping. Story line was tragic.
As in, tragically simple.
Seriously sucked.

Norbit - Proof that imdb is full of easily offended fat guys, as this got a lot of bad reviews for rasputia being overweight and all the fat jokes.

Well fuck that. It was completely formulaic but still pretty damn funny.

you seem to be give 10/10 for every fucking movie you watch. what kind of faggot drama student are you? gimp, easily impressed.

Post by **Foo** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 10:08 pm

Oh also Norbit has fucking Terry Tate in it. That's 5 points right there.

its a funny movie that way... either people love it or hate it.
not much middle ground.

it sounds to me like you simply got owned by expectations.
though... i'm not sure where you got the idea that there is supposed to be some sort of huge social comentary message burried in there somewhere.... its a near-future thriller.
did the other people you've been hearing rave about it give you that impression (since i don't think i planted any misconceptions)?

i'm also not sure what you found amatureish or confusing about the ending.

Spiderman 3 - 6/10

IMO it focused far too much on Peter and Mary-jane's relationship and not enough on the various conflicts going on. It was good but it could have been SO much better.

Post by **Pauly** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 1:57 pm

The Spiderman Trilogy=

Part 1.
Uncle Ben gets murdered Peter is upset
Osborne senior gets killed, Harry is upset and swears revenge
Peter fancies Mary Jane but is a cunt
Mary jane is upset with Peter

Part 2.
Peter is still upset about Uncle Ben
Harry is still upset about his dad and swears revenge
Peter fancies Mary Jane but is a cunt
Mary jane is upset with Peter

Part 3.
Peter is still upset about Uncle Ben
Harry is still upset about his dad and swears revenge
Peter now dates Mary Jane but becomes a cunt again
Mary jane is upset with Peter

In conclusion. Fuck off.

yea dumbing everything down and re-re-explaining all the baggage over and over for the lowest level, great for sensless merch, but a dissapointment for hardcore fans who what less explained and more left open, kinda like the matrix'es

or like just nah i have no idea

Post by **o'dium** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 2:01 pm

In relation to Oceans 12, yeah, it was a total bag of bollocks. Utter shite. Oceans 11 was much better, quite enjoyed it.

I'm going to see Oceans 13 tonight. So hopefully I wont be confused when George Clooney randomly starts pretending to be George Clooney only to meet his friend Bruce Willis who cant tell the difference between George Clooney and George Clooney.

Yeah, that post made about as much sense as Oceans 12.

The biggest flaw with Spider Man was that Mary Jane was an ugly whore amirite?

Post by **4days** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 2:25 pm

was she ugly? i remember she was one of those watery-eyed puppyfat prom queen types, but not thinking she was ugly.

was she in any serial killer movies? she'd make a great victim.

Post by **plained** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 2:26 pm

yea she was in that voodoo movie with the soul switching

it was pretty good

Post by **o'dium** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 2:39 pm

Shes ugly, but not. It depends when you look at her:

just got home from a double feature:

Shooter - 6/10

Conventional and predictable in every way, but for some reason it's almost (but not quite) worthwhile as a lowest common denominator action movie despite not being at all self-aware, this in turn despite the fact that it unfolds like a laundry list of every action movie cliché. Mostly I think the fact that action scenes are getting more and more realistic (in visual terms i.e. the realism of headshots on the screen, not the logistics of one guy taking out an army) made it watchable. It pretty much gets worse and worse as it goes along.

The Lookout - 9/10

Fuckin unbelievable movie. The best acting I've seen in ages, a plot derivative of a number of things but unpredictable and engrossing nonetheless, and really what's actually original any more? Great direction, great soundtrack (I was surprised to see James Newton Howard did the scoring because it's mostly quiet guitar music -- doesn't sound like a classical movie score at all), just great everything. I heartily recommend this film. Joseph Gordon Levitt is one of my favourite actors and he sure knows how to pick em!!
