The last movie you saw

[Doombrain]

Haven't seen it yet, but sounds like Bond got "real".

Don't think that's a good thing.
For instance, we already have the gritty Bourne series.
And Batman getting all dark and serious.

Good Bond movies always had that light, tongue in cheeck vibe.
Should maintain that vibe to distinguish itself.

The Hobbit - 8/10

Really enjoyed it, will watch again.

Hannah 8/10

Quirky Euro feel good action revenge movie, about a teenage girl kicking all sorts of arse. Reminded me of Lola Rennt, in a good way. Has some interesting camera angles and a director who loves doing entire scenes in one shot, which is something i dearly love - it adds a lot to the immersion and it's technically fucking awesome because that shit is hard.

Soundtrack by the Chemical Brothers, which is actually quite good. Loses a bit of tempo near the end, but that's okay, can't win em all.

Jack Reacher = 4.5/10 - Meh...the acting is fine, story is fine and it's a competently put together movie, it just feels cheap...like an NBC movie-of-the-week. The musical score was also distractingly bad and inappropriate at times. The film is trying to feel like The Pelican Brief, Conspiracy, Shooter and Primal Fear all in one...and it just sucks.

It's not horrible shit, but it's still shit. It's worth watching...I guess.

The Dark Knight Rises - 4/10 - a confused, chaotic, ideologically suspect clusterfuck of a movie without a single memorable scene, full of bargain basement dialogue and bumper sticker wisdom

also, there was no need to actually see Bruce at the end. that dumbfuck Christopher Nolan could have just left us with the look on Alfred's face. the guy's either seriously losing his edge or made a creative decision to aim the movie squarely at the lowest-common-denominator mentally retarded

so disappointing

Totally agree. People have gotten so mind-numbingly dumb and they'll hate anything they don't understand, so films (and games) have to hold the viewer's hand at all times because they can't be relied on to connect the dots.

I was thinking the exact same thing as it was rolling... "please don't show Bruce. please don't show Bruce." and it would have been a perfect cut to black on Alfred's smile and nod, something that would have suited the mystery and hope of the Batman series. The music was at a crescendo and everything. You KNEW who he was smiling at before you even saw him.

...and then they cut to Bruce Wayne smiling and the stupid pack of fucking morons (aka the audience) erupted in cheers and applause....because they're too idiotic and philistine to realize that the ending shot of Bruce was for them...the brain-dead consumers of the world who probably couldn't figure out who Alfred was smiling at in test screenings so they were forced to add the shot.

I distinctly remember that moment in the theatre - the instant they ruined it - and I looked around the cheering crowd and realized I was watching the movie with people who will always work at Wal-Mart, McDonalds or as security guards at a construction site.

They made the ending of a terrific trilogy and one of the few respected comic book-to-movie adaptations for this guy:

I will probably not see it because I can't get over the title sounding like some kind of android that pins guys down and masturbates them to orgasm.

[xer0s]

I completely agree on the Batman/Nolan ending. I would have loved it if Bruce was cut out of the final scene. But remember, Nolan left us with a great ending on Inception. It could be possible he didn't want to be "that director" with the predictable cliffhanger ending. Frankly, I wouldn't mind it...

[obsidian]

lol wut....

It would not have been an Inception type ending, there would have been no ambiguity. Alfred smiling and nodding to someone unseen would have implied in a not so subtle way that Bruce was alive. It would only have been a "cliffhanger ending" if you were a complete moron and unable to figure out the obvious.

FFS xer0s, the shit ending was filmed specifically for people like you who would not have been able to figure it out when the answer is slapping you in the face.

Oh, ok...

Jack Reacher = 4.5/10

He's an upgrade from their earlier model, "Johnny Jack-off & Reacharound".

[seremtan]

shame your joke isn't an upgrade from the joke surgeon62 already made

You mean like the cliffhanger ending in The Dark Knight Rises where Robin steps into the Batcave?

G.I. Joe Retaliation = 5.5/10 - Absolute cornball but much better than the first one. They're obviously setting up a series of films (as long as Bruce Willis doesn't drop dead from old age) which will no doubt suck from here on out.

Moving = 8/10 - An old classic from Richard Pryor that feels dated but still hilarious as all hell. Watch while blazed.

Battle Los Angles

A squadron of U.S. Marines becomes the last line of defense against a global extra-terrestrial invasion.

Source/IMDB

To be honest, even as a sci-fi fan this just didn't cut the mustard, but a very nice try I suppose. 6/10
The Marine staff Sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) is a worthy mention but I don't recall seeing him in any other movies. Michelle Rodriguez, not too hard on the eyes either

Warm Bodies 8/10
One of the most atypical zombie movies i ever saw, a heartwarming tale of love between zombies and humans. Funny stuff

Frankenstein's Army 6/10
A Red Army scout squad stumbles upon the crazy robot zombies of dr. Frankenstein, Hitlers last desperate secret weapon.
Could have been great, instead it's rather meh. They chose to alter the script to fit the location they found, and it's all rather ramshackle as a result. The location itself is awesome indeed, i can totally understand them wanting to wrap the script around it, but shit, it just doesn't really work They also chose to film it in first person mode, which adds little. The acting is pretty atrocious and all the russian accents are so cringeworthy they kind of take you out of the immersion. Exception is dr. Frankenstein, the only actor who is actually acting. They also managed to do the sound properly, quite liked what they did with that.

All in all it's still worth a watch for the last half hour, where Frankenstein takes the viewer on a tour of his demented monsters. The creations themselves are highly awesome, there's no CGI and it's all humans in suits. Which is better. They should have played with that a lot more, definitely the best part of the film.

The Tall Man 4/10
A completely uninteresting tale of a couple that steals babies from poor trailer trash people and gives em to the rich so they'll have a better life. Giving it an extra point for the plot twist, but it's not nearly enough to make this worth watching. Skip this.
