Title: Movie & TV Show Critic Thread
Post by: Gluk the Walrus on November 13, 2016, 07:24:08 am
This is quite different from the normal threads I make but i felt that there should be a place to critique movies. I, myself am an avid movie watcher with very broad tastes. I've seen more movies than most people will ever see in their life time (not sure if that's a good thing).

Post here movies that you've seen, movies you've enjoyed or hated, or just general critiques of movies.

Side Note: This really shouldn't be a thread filled with salt. It's just a movie thread, so keep it about movies please. You can introduce SOME politics and religion as long as it related to a MOVIE and your critique of it.

An example of a fair critique: I think Micheal Moore's Bowling for Columbine had some fair points to be made about guns in the united states but it was mostly biased, liberal bullshit used to push a very specific agenda. The movie had very little focus as it was a movie about guns, yet it contradicts itself by saying that the film is not about getting rid of guns. Beyond this he make no real point as to what the solution should be. He points to how the media is the problem for constantly showing violence on television, he also makes the implication that video games are also part of the problem (despite overwhelming evidence against it), this is clear case of 'Correlation not equaling Causation.' More violence on TV does not mean that TV causes more violence.

I'm looking forward to seeing Nocturnal Animals, and also Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them which is also coming out soon. The only film I'm genuinely excited about though is Dunkirk which doesn't come out until 2017-looks quite good and I really like Christopher Nolan films (in my opinion he's the best director in the industry).

Don't really have a personal 'best film of all time', though my favourite movies are The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Inception, Shawshank Redemption, Star Wars originals, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Alien, plus some others.

In terms of a film I disliked, probably the new Star Wars. I mean it was okay, but it wasn't anything special, and I don't understand why J J Abrams is getting so much praise for it.

I enjoyed the last star wars movie.  I don't consider it an all time best movie but it was good imo.  i think a lot of people liked it due to them not liking how episodes 1-3 were.(many did not like them.  i personally enjoyed them but didn't care for the love focused story)  many consider it an improvement, maybe even a revival of the franchise.   I doubt i will see another movie until Rouge one comes out.

Personally phantom menace was a disgrace to the series and is my least favorite star wars movie. In my opinion

I < III < II < VI <VII < IV < V

Its hard to really say though what should go in the middle but im pretty certain that 1 is my least favorite and 5 is my favorite.

I go back and forth on 2 and 3. They are probably equal in my book to be honest. 2 was a little dull at parts but it introduced the concept of the clone wars which was necessary and the 6 year old in me still likes the big battle scene. The plot is not good enough to deem it anything higher though. I don't know, 3 might be better than 2.

I follow this channel religiously.

Skills, i've seen quite a few of the movies you listed although it's been a long time. I should probably go back and rewatch Clockwork Orange, i liked it when i first saw it but i thought it was really fucking weird at the time.

I pretty much agree with your list except I would give Reservoir Dogs a 5/5. It's like Pulp Fictions underrated cousin who is still just as good imo. Pulp Fiction was a bit more quirky at times (like the dance scene) while Reservoir Dogs was a tad bit more serious. Out of curiosity, what is your thought on Hateful Eight? I liked it a lot personally but some people have given it much more negative reviews, the beginning was a slow and the sequence of events was a bit odd but that's something you can often expect in a Tarantino film. Have you seen it? If so, what did you think?
Title: Re: Movie Critic Thread
Post by: Gamboji on November 14, 2016, 02:24:03 pm
If anything, I think Reservoir Dogs is somewhat overrated.

I didn't care too much for The Hateful Eight. It was a little slow and the way the characters acted seemed completely senseless at times, along with their timing. The way the story was told didn't appeal to me either.

I'm kinda torn about it, but on the 1-5 scale I think it's a 2.
Title: Re: Movie Critic Thread
Post by: Gluk the Walrus on November 14, 2016, 03:58:05 pm
I mean it clearly wasn't his best work but i would probably give it a 2.5-3/5 I'm just saying that it wasn't a bad film but it wasn't particularly good either. I still liked it either way.

Reservoir Dogs is overrated among Tarantino fanboys (like myself) but what most people remember when it comes to Tarantino films is either pulp fiction or django...and maybe kill bill.
Title: Re: Movie Critic Thread
Post by: John Price on November 14, 2016, 05:14:01 pm
Never seen Pulp Fiction nor Reservoir Dogs. I should probably take the time to watch them.

The main reason I like Tarentino films is I always have a sense of re watch ability after watching Django Unchained, Inglourious Basterds and The Hateful Eight. I have also seen both Kill Bills at least twice but that was because I didn't really remember what happened 10 years after watching them last. The twists and turns he puts in always give me a smile when I watch them.

To reply to the conversation about Star Wars yesterday my way personally would be: III < I < II < VII < V < VI < IV

I personally enjoyed the first movie as it was the first Star Wars I ever watched. However I think III is a pile of dog shit with bad CGI as well as the directors in-ability to make sure that the scenes gel well together.

On the topic of Samurai movies, The Last Samurai wasn't particularly a masterpiece but I enjoyed it.



2016 has been full of disappointments.

Civil War lived up to expectations for me (but didn't partcularly blow me away) and Deadpool was a blast. Doctor Strange was executed very well considering the oddity of the material and lesser name recognition.

10 Cloverfield Lane was really really good imho and deserves a watch. Don't read any spoilers beforehand if possible.

DC's offerings were pure disappointment. BVS was barely coherent nonsensical rushed garbage and Suicide Squad was the first movie I can recall walking out of.

I hear Hacksaw Ridge is really good so I'll probably give that a watch. Looking forward to Fantastic Beasts and Rogue One which both seem promising.

Independence Day: Resurgence was pretty shitty tbh. They took out all the campy but enjoyable shit that made the first one so delightfully terrible.

Ghostbusters was... Ghostbusters... Fuck that steaming pile of trash.

Star Trek Beyond was meh.

Sausage Party was better than I expected and was really funny.

Arrival seems interesting, might see it when I see Hacksaw Ridge.

Snowden was deeply disturbing and thought provoking, would recommend.
Title: Re: Movie Critic Thread
Post by: Thunderstormer on November 15, 2016, 02:05:29 am
i enjoyed the last samurai.

i too hear hacksaw ridge is good, tho idk if i will go out and see it.(there was some funny stories about it told on one of the late night shows with mel gibson)    Haven't heard anything good or bad about arrival, but it looks interesting. 

deadpool was great.  One of the best movies of the year, and one i enjoy rewatching. 

I didn't know much about Dr Strange so this was a good introduction into who he is.   was a good movie in general.  I think marvel does a pretty good job finding the right actors for the job. 

i enjoyed star trek as well.   heard it wasn't that good before i went out and saw it, but i enjoyed it.  better than some of the comments i seen made it out to be.

captain america was pretty good as well, tho idk if it was as good as #2.

Why does everyone say that Star Wars Episode IV was the best? I know it was the original film but the beginning was sooo fucking slow and the battle scene wasn't very good imo (compared to their later work with V and VI). If you think about it, at the time the movie was kind of a joke. The people working on the film thought that it was going to tank at box office, including mark hamill and harrison ford. It's kind of weird to think about this but at the time, this movie wasn't meant to hit big, none of the actors were known and the concept of a major sci-fi blockbuster was a serious gamble, the genre before star wars was considered mostly a joke.
Title: Re: Movie Critic Thread
Post by: junedragon on November 15, 2016, 04:34:44 am
I gets a lot of irrational hate. It wasn't bad. II was just plain bad. III was better than I imho. IV through VI are really open to discussion. Hard to rank any of them really.

Actually I think a lot of people stumble over themselves to attack I (especially Anni and Jar Jar) that they overrate II (and to a lesser extent, III and VII).

Post by: Thunderstormer on November 15, 2016, 04:45:14 am
i don't think i can really rank them.    Like i said before, i didn't care for the love story, and i just skip over it if i can.  I would of preferred if they kept it to be a smaller portion of the movies and showed other more interesting parts.( i would of preferred to learn more about each jedi, especially ones on the council other than the few words they get.  or no words, and just their deaths)

as for Jar Jar.  His character is for the kids honestly.  All the stupid things he said and does were geared to get 5 year olds to laugh.  I don't hate him, but his antics grow tiring the more i watch episode 1.  when i was younger, i didn't really mind it too much.

My problem with jar jar was that they made him central to the plot...like why? You can add an annoying fish monster but does he have to be important!?

Also, i think we can settle the star wars dispute but summing it up as such...

the prequels were garbage

VII was okay and the original trilogy was fantastic.

UPDATE:
New poll! I excluded 1.5 and 2.5 because it seems pointless to add if you plan on rating something lowly, just round down.

Cant wait for Kingsman sequel, one of my favourites from last year.

Also if you haven't seen the Revenant I'd highly recommend it. One of the most beautiful movies I have ever watched, top notch cinematography across diverse and stunning landscapes. Also Tom Hardy is awesome.

As per the poll question I would give VII 4/5. Not fantastic but really good. The return  to lots of practical effects where possible was really nice and the lack of over the top obnoxious CGI was appreciated. The plot was a bit of a rehash but it worked and is understandable given the immense expectations. Solid acting all around too. More excited for Episode VIII.

Definitely. I used to live in a small town in Alberta when I was a kid and roughly the same area where they did a lot of the filming. Did a lot of hiking, camping etc out there-one of the best periods of my life. Di Caprio's oscar was well deserved for The Revenant imo.

Just saw Arrival (intended to see Hacksaw Ridge but theater wasnt playing it for some reason). I have to say this movie turned my expectations on their head and blew me away. Absolutely brilliant sci fi movie. My surprise favourite movie of 2016 so far. Dont expect explosions and riveting action, its not that kind of movie. Rather it presents you with an intelligent yet deeply compelling story, a puzzle that gradually comes together piece by piece with each little twist (leaving just enough hints for you to figure things out yourself if you pay particular attention). Left me with chills.

5/5 go watch it
Title: Re: Movie Critic Thread
Post by: StevenChilton on November 15, 2016, 11:32:21 pm
Nice, might go watch that at some point. Speaking of sci-fi (and I know this is a movie thread but I'll be quick) I was really surprised by how much I liked The Expanse-watched it recently after a recommendation by a friend and it's actually very good. Only the first season too, so now it's had a decent reception they'll pump more money into it for season 2 (which comes out Feb 2017).
Title: Re: Movie Critic Thread
Post by: Thunderstormer on November 16, 2016, 12:58:47 am
Arrival will probably be one of those movies i see on netflix or some other like device.(doubtful i will get it on dvd)  I don't like getting robbed by the movie theaters every time i go.(carmike cinemas has horrific prices.  even before they were bought by AMC, who is owned by some Chinese group i believe)  if ticket prices, and other things like popcorn and pop weren't so damn expensive, or if there were other theaters nearby that were better for the price, i would go.(there was one theater i loved going to, $5 tickets at anytime, very cheap popcorn, pop, and candy, larger screen than carmike, better sound, and just a better place in general was shut down and replaced despite it being successful.  some restaurant/movie combo took its place and they aren't as good imo.)

still debating about seeing hacksaw ridge.


and lucifer is a good tv show imo.

yea, those type of deals are the only ones worth it, but they tend to be only on certain days and at certain times.  tho, at the theater i mentioned above, $10 was enough for ticket, popcorn, and a drink.  basically double that at carmikes.

I'm really glad that there is an interest to talk critically about movies. I was worried that not enough people cared about quality movies that this thread would just turn into cancer. I'm happy that you guys actually have decent taste.

I'm going to put up a poll question later, a bit more in depth than the one i have now. I'm thinking something like, "what was your initial reaction to ending of x movie" and then put common responses with the option for "other" and then you can post something.

I might start with 10 Cloverfield Lane seeing as i just watched it and it was fantastic. Also, new rule guys, anything detailing plot points or key details of a movie, use spoilers for obvious reasons.

John Goodman was incredible. That movie really keeps you on edge.

Question for you about the ending below (spoilers)

10 Cloverfield Lane ENDING SPOILERS
Not sure you know, but the ending in the movie wasn't what was originally planned. Imagine it gets to the part where she sees the birds and thinks everything is fine. She drives off back home only to find the city in total ruin. I liked the confrontation at they end (they felt her escaping the bunker wasnt enough of a reward for all the time spent building tension which is why they changed it), but the original sounds interesting. Which ending do you think would have been better.

DONT OPEN IF YOU HAVENT SEEN 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE
I don't believe that the original concept for the film was intended to be in the cloverfield universe anyways. I'm not sure if you saw the first film (it's pretty good for a mid-budget film), if you haven't i suggest watching it. Anyways, I personally think that the whole bunker idea with the crazy guy trying to replace his daughter would of been perfect in OR out of the cloverfield universe. To be honest, it didn't matter too much for me what happened outside of the bunker, it couldn't been a ruse or it could been the ruskies, but the main aspect of the film that made it awesome was the bunker and the relationships between the characters in the bunker with the desperate desire to get out. The ending obviously has to be fulfilling but I'm just saying that they has sooooo many options to go with. As for which ending would've been better...i dunno...I think finding the city in ruin would've been a good ending but I think it would been too predictable with the whole bunker thing. What i mean is that in the scenario, you're expecting the outside to look like a wasteland...and finding a destroyed city fits that wasteland assumption, but what made the movie good for me was that none of my initial predicts came true. The movie was not predictable and that is why i loved it.

TL;DR I think the movie ending was better than the original because a destroyed city is too predictable for the bunker movie concept. Think the fallout series. By not making it a total wasteland, you kept people in suspense because you're constantly wondering what is outside that is causing this when the landscape is perfectly fine and there are birds and shit.

I really liked Shindler's List when I watched it recently, definite 9/10. Its just good for so many reasons although I imagine most people have seen it.
Where to invade next by Michael Moore was pretty good given that I watched it on a 11 hours Toronto-Brussels flight.
For a lesser known movie I'd recommend Hyena Road. Its a fairly solid Canadian film. Its very different in contrast to most American war films of Afghanistan which is part of what made me like it.
If you haven't watched the Band of Brothers or Pacific mini-series you really should.

Band of brothers is pretty solid.  The pacific was good from what i seen, tho it is more graphic which may make it not something suitable for the really young ones.

haven't seen that cloverfield movie.   Didn't seem like something i would like. 

i did just watch John wick, which i enjoyed.  i believe there is a sequel coming in the near future.

New movies?  no.    Will probably get the new star trek movie on dvd, and i will probably watch one of the angel and demon movies.(the tom hanks ones)

i am also watching John Adams.  The HBO series.

I watched the new Jason Bourne movie. It was pretty solid. A definite should watch if your the type of person who likes pure action for the entire movie.

really enjoyed that movie.

i enjoyed the 2nd jack reacher film as well.  though i would probably say that the bourne movie was better.   Not to mention that bourne movies as a whole are really good imo.

I removed the poll because it wasn't getting a lot of attention, only like 4 people actually voted. This is probably because a lot of people haven't seen the film, which is fine.

Anyways...I have a serious question for everyone. What was the worst movie you have ever seen? I'm quite curious. Also put why you think this about the movie.

For me, the worst film I've ever seen was Thunder in Paradise, starring Hulk Hogan. The plot is horrific with very little thought put in. The acting is some of the worst i've ever seen. Hulk also develops a semi-homosexual relationship with his bestfriend/fighting companion/roommate/boyfriend (i don't fucking know). It's never direct but if you see some of the scenes, you wonder why they have their shirts off and they are so friendly with each other...maybe they are just open minded people??? It's fucking hulk hogan though...i don't know what the fuck to think about it.

You can watch this god awful abomination here on youtube. I dare everyone to open this, watch up until the part where you see the boat and take notice of it's size...then wait until you see inside the boat...again...notice its size. I've never seen a more painfully obvious continuity error in a movie before. It's like they gave zero fucks.

Objectively the worst movie ever is The Room but at least its so bad its hilarious. 1/10, would highly recommend watching.

I heard so much about the room and I've been too afraid to watch it...but ya know what...fuck it. I'm going to watch it right now because i have some free time before class.

UPDATES:
4 minutes in and the cringe is hitting pretty fucking hard. The dialogue is so awkward and the fucking scene is so cringey that it hurts to watch.

Danny: "I just like to watch you guys."
Do what danny? What do you watch them do?

Also is it Danny or Denny? They keep saying it so weirdly that i can't understand.

Skipped the sex scene because i don't find the girl remotely attractive.

"I dream about you...I need you to make love with me" jesus fucking christ, this is so awful

17 minutes in and we have yet ANOTHER pointless sex scene. SKIP!

"Johnny is my best friend" You've said this already, why do you feel the need to say it again and also...who says this?

21 minutes in and i just witnessed probably the worst filmed scene in a movie ever. The fucking flower shop...the dialogue is forced, zero emotion, and the conversation is happening way too fucking fast that for some reason, at one point, johnny speaks over the cashier lady who is still finishing her sentence.

ACTING.IS.SO.BAD!!!

no please...not another sex scene...NOOOOO!!!! It's not even 30 fucking minutes and it has had THREE FUCKING SEX SCENES!

Guy casually gets a blowjob at the 31 minute mark

Granny: "What are these characters doing here?"
Exactly what i'm thinking at the moment...

Okay...I swear to god that this bitch just called the kid from earlier "Dinny"...is he Danny, Denny or fucking Dinny!?

Something just happened with a drug dealer...there was no build up or anything, it sort of just happened. There is a lot of yelling and it's annoying. Granny is going ham on Dinny right now.

"I'm so happy that I have you as my best friend" OKAY WE FUCKING GET IT!

The Siege of Jadotville was a pretty solid movie.

The casualty figures for the real battle are crazy: 5 wounded and 0 dead (158 prisoners - forced to surrender when ran out of supplies and ammunition) vs 300 dead and almost 1000 wounded.

Yea, I took a look at the wiki page after the movie. Its actually pretty stunning none of them died given the circumstances. Although they were French mercenaries if that can explain it.

Well the beginning scenes involve explaining how mysterious objects have appeared in different part of the Earth. I probably can't go into much more detail without spoiling too much although I would highly recommend seeing it. One of the best films I've seen this year. Not your typical blockbuster. Really makes you think and feel with the characters with a really interesting plot which focuses more on developing itself and keeping the viewer intrigued rather than lots of shooty shooty

Never forget this masterpiece:

Saw Fantastic Beasts today. Definitely has charm to it (no pun intended). Really if you love Harry Potter like I do you will find lots to love. If not its still an enjoyable movie. Eddie Redmayne is great. The beasts don't really feature as prominently as you'd expect but they have some wonderful designs and get some great moments. I'd give it a solid 8/10, not amazing but really enjoyable for what it is.

hacksaw ridge was pretty good.  i liked the overall cast, and the guy that plays the main character dos does a good job.  The last few movies he did that i managed to see, i liked.(the 2 amazing spider man movies.  better than the 3 before it.)

and it was nice seeing Iowa class(best class) battleships, even if it was pretty obvious CGI.
Title: Re: Movie Critic Thread
Post by: Gluk the Walrus on December 07, 2016, 09:14:10 am
Just saw Dr. Strange, i would say that it lies on the better end of the recent influx of superhero movies. This one actually had a bit of character to it, unlike superbatspider man where every hero had essentially the same backstory. Dr. Strange's backstory is one that could legitimately be a movie to itself without any sort of super hero shit and still be an original concept. I won't spoil anything but it's quite good.

The visuals were fucking organismic with surrealism, reminded me a lot of inception with the visuals. If you enjoyed the visuals of inception or any sort of surrealistic artwork, you will love the visuals in this movie.

Besides the backstory, the rest of the movie's plot was kinda sub-par and began to fit into the typical mold of a super hero movie, some character dies, passes on some wisdom, main character grows, saves the day, usual shit. Also there are obvious plot holes with this movie which i noticed in my first (and so far only) sitting. In my opinion, pointing out plot holes is kinda knit picky if you don't notice them in your first sitting but if you see them in the first sitting, it's poor writing :/ I blame this on the film's writers and not Stan Lee who wrote the (as previously mentioned) phenomenal backstory.

I'm going to explain the plot hole here...
ONLY OPEN IF YOU'VE SEEN DR.STRANGE
When Dr. Strange goes to Nepal to find answers and meets the ancient one, he tells her that he believes in science and shit, ya know the usual atheist/agnostic/existential answer. We are made of matter and we live short lives and die. I'm summing up what he said because i can't remember verbatim. He also implies that magic and other worldly shit is completely illogical. Later in the movie, we find out that the avengers are completely common knowledge to everyone in that world. How in the fuck is he going to deny outworld/magic shit when fucking thor exists. The whole thing with the avengers movies is that out world shit comes to destroy humanity and obviously this is common knowledge as well (destroying cities and shit). So this whole thing just doesn't make sense. It's not explained well at all and i feel like they are just forcing Dr. Strange into the Marvel universe without having much care for fucking continuity.

The Raid 2 is my favorite fighting movie. I recommend it to any Martial Arts enthousiast.

Do not, I repeat, do not worry about the massive tanking skills these guys have tho. But it really makes the movie really nice to watch. I get a lot of adrenaline everytime I watch it.

The Raid 1 is good also but a little bit repetetive. They learned their mistakes when they made the second one. And they did it good.

yea, i was kinda suprised at how the first half of the movie went but the 2nd half was really good imo.

I was a little disappointed at the lack of the text scrolling at the start providing the sometimes necessary info that sets you up for the movie.  Now, i imagine most people knew where this movie was at in the time line, but some background information or a general reminder couldn't of hurt.  and i agree, it was nice seeing them tie stuff in to the series, especially episode 4.

i'll put the next part in spoilers, just in case it might spoil parts of the movie.

Spoiler
these are more of wishful thinking in general rather than i wish they did it in this movie.  I am guessing Jedah was the "birthplace" of the jedi,(the temple and large rock carvings are hints here) and it would be nice if they went more into that.  perhaps a movie about the origins of both the jedi and the sith. 

i wish they went into the council more, so we can learn more about characters like mon mothma.  how they formed, etc.

i would like to have some more movies during the clone wars, showing off the other less known jedi or even the important ones like yoda or mace doing their thing else where. 

i like the who lore of star wars and wouldn't mind see more of it.  i am sure there are some books and other stuff out there that explains some of this stuff, but i would like to see them on the big screen.  i hope they make more movies like this one though.  this was one of the best in the series.

Rogue One was probably the best movie I have ever seen in a theater.

It's really fucking good, great action it really put the wars in star wars, adds much more to the star wars lore, nice cameos, references and easter eggs. It bridged perfectly into a new hope. People say they could have had more character development but I can't blame them as it's a spin off film and won't have time to develop characters as much as the saga films. 8.9/10

Looking foward to the han solo spin off film next and hopefully they'll do the kenobi flim as well

Just saw Rogue One. Really, really good imo and easily better than The Force Awakens which was total crap (I'm amazed it's rated so highly on Rotten Tomatoes, seemed like Abrams was told by Disney to play it safe and he took that to the extreme and basically re-packaged A New Hope). I think it compares very favourably to the original trilogy.

It seems like every time he tries to change the series, he fucks it up further. I'd rather he just stay away and let more intelligent (and also charismatic) people take charge. JJ Abrams definately has the intelligence but i dont think he has the charisma but that's fine. Episode 7 was fine, it wasn't a disaster and it wasn't a masterpiece, neither was 4 and that shit started it all.

Although I havent seen rogue one, i have heard a lot of good things about it and i intend to watch it next tuesday.

I have very little motivation to watch Rogue One after The Force Awakens. It was such a totally shit film that my entire taste for the Star Wars films has died out.
If you guys can actually claim that it is not 'another Death Star movie', I may be tempted slightly though.

JJ Abrams was the director we needed for Episode VII. 8 and 9 can be as ambitious as they want within reason, but after the prequel debacles there needed to be a solid base to build on. Abrams chose to not take many risks and focus on building this respectable foundation.

Birdman (Really interesting movie)

Sorry for going off topic
Not a big fan of Star Wars. Id like to go out and watch the new one but I probably wont, ive missed out on many films that have come out in the last couple years which is a shame considering going to the movies was part of my weekly routine. Gluck tbh I feel ive seen more movies than you. Is that a bad thing?

Tbh you probably have and that's definately not a bad thing. You have a very good taste in movies as well. I've seen all the movies you've listed and the only one that i don't think was a masterpiece was godfather 2 (it felt too slow for me). The hateful 8, grand budapest and birdman are all highly underrated in their value.

I don't know if his trilogy is canon right now, but he is. He appears on the Star Wars Rebel show in season 3. The animated one on Cartoon Network I think.

Trilogy not canon but he is. And he has made season 3 of rebels almost worth watching singlehandedly after the first 2 were apparently shit. Miss the clone wars tbh that show was quality.

All of the expanded universe is sort of in a limbo land at the moment. Any of it could be reincorporated as canon at a later date as long as it doesn't conflict with 7, 8, or 9, which is why I think it was no longer made canon in the first place. I know a lot of star wars geeks are fucking furious that the expanded shit is no longer canon (probably because of the time they invested in reading the books or w.e.) which is kind of funny imo. Some of these people on star wars forums seriously expected JJ Abrams to read up on the expanded universe and become a fucking expert on star wars before he could be allowed to make star wars 7, it's just absolutely ridiculous. As an example, a good friend of mine told me that he didn't like 7 because in it there was some stupid thing having to do with the lightsabers that violated the sacred expanded universe and that Kylo Ren wasn't a true sith because he doesn't follow the rule of two.

I personally thought Rogue 1 was amazing. I felt it went back to the feel of the original trilogy. The story and characters were both amazing and the film looked stunning. I love the way how they really told the story without pampering a happy ending, the characters had all been developed to the extent where you genuinely felt about them and each and every death was met with actual sadness for it. The beach scene where they are resigned to their fate really hit the feels. I also love the way how the director tied in the ending with the beginning of A New Hope, showing he was conscious of the way the film would fit in with the entire series, and not just being a standalone that had no consequence upon the main storyline. Another great movie which makes it 2/2 for the new 'ens so far. Rogue 1 was perfect for keeping the hype going for me and I can't wait for the continuation of the main series.

Couldn't agree more with you on rogue one. It was fantastic. I would honestly rate it above episode 7 and well above any of the prequels. It really is in league with the original trilogy.

Also, next summer is going to be shit for movies. We are going to have great hits like cars 3, despicable me 3, wonder woman, captain underpants, power rangers, baby boss, spiderman: homecoming and fuck me another transformers!

Knowing how Batman v Superman went, I am willing to bet a million fucking dollars that Wonder Woman will be trash. Nothing to do with the fact that it's about a female lead (i know you're memeing), it's the fact that it will have nothing going for it. Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman was awful, just awful. The character wasn't fleshed out (she shouldn't of been in it at all, she added nothing to the plot and was painfully forced in), she was boring and served NOOOOO purpose. She was just there to introduce the new DC Universe which you can tell is going to be absolute cancer. Suicide Squad is a movie length sequence of trailers for the inevitable Harley Quinn/Joker movie with irrelevant side characters with no motive. Superman is such an over powered piece of shit that anything you write about him will end up garbage (how do you write tension with a character that can do anything?). Seriously, i can go on. The three movies they have released in this new universe, all trash...

Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 and Dunkirk are the only two movies that I am genuinely looking forward to seeing.

Got done watching Fences. Got to say a bit surprised. Had a bit more humor in it than I expected. A lot more lacking in terms of what I expected, but still as deep as I thought. Movie did a fantastic job when it came to acting and the allegorys in the film were done fantastically. I felt like it jumped way too much at certain points and you kind of felt lost in those long time gaps. Otherwise I think it was a fine movie for what it was. Still felt disappointed leaving the theater though, but I don't know why.

I am not talking about how the viewer experiences it, rather how the plot goes:
A New Hope was typical 'good vs. bad'-film with a happy ending (even though Luke is a terrorist (lol)) With even the classic tear-pulling moment where one of the good guys dies at the hand of the ultimate villain. There was a clear main character with obvious sidekicks.

THAT, is what I meant when I said it was like a Disney film (the classic cartoon ones, I didn't mean it as a company, duh). Say what you want, but if Rogue One was one thing, it certainly wasn't a typical Disney movie. Even PotC was a typical Disney movie (granted, there have been other exceptions that I cannot recall instantly). As I said, it was more a tragedy.

What we are referring to is that the quality of the film is on par with that of the original trilogy. The prequels were kinda shit (just saying) and 7 was decent but it wasn't as great as any in the original trilogy. Rogue One, in it's quality as a film is just as good as the originals.

You think 6 was the best!? Get the fuck out, you furry loving freak.

for me:

V, Rogue One, IV, VII, VI, III, II, I

although tbh, Rogue One and a New Hope are kinda tied for me. It's really difficult saying which is better so I just put Rogue One ahead because it's newer and looks much better.

I also think I put out a list earlier in this thread that looks very different from this but after much deep thought I have concluded that even though III was the best of the prequels, it was still shit compared to the rest of the series. Anakin killed everyone because he didn't get a promotion at work. You could argue that it was so he could save padme's life but that is a bullshit reason to kill literally everyone he could find. Palpatine does a 720 spin and makes some weird screeching noise and throws mace windu out of a window. There is a really long and drawn out fight sequence with obi-wan and anakin which as a kid I liked but after seeing it 10 or 12 times, it gets a bit fucking annoying. The battles are okay i guess...it is star 'wars' after all. The inclusion of general Grievous seems like a way to pad the movie before the big confrontations happen. Don't get me wrong, i love me some general Grievous. In the clone wars (the older one), general Grievous was fucking awesome as a character. However think about this with a keen eye, ignore the fact that he's a badass...what purpose does he serve for the plot? Seriously...answer me that...Count Dooku had a purpose, serving as the main antagonist in episode 2 and then gets killed off by anakin in 3 to show that he is becoming a darker figure than we originally thought and that Palpatine can manipulate him. General Grievous doesn't have this, he's just a robot guy with 4 arms and can use lightsabers and stuff...

TL;DR: Star Wars Episode 3 sucked and i'm tired so i felt like writing a really long review of it.
Title: Re: Movie Critic Thread
Post by: AeroNinja on December 28, 2016, 08:04:31 pm
My opinion about Episode 3 is that it was a VERY good movie. It just lacked a bit of content.

About Rogue one, I think it is my favorite Star Wars movie for now. The visuals were spectacular. The first half of the movie was quiet and there wasn't really happening much. Just the shot of the Death Star and that little ambush in that small Imperial City on Jedha. Second half made everything good.
Title: Re: Movie Critic Thread
Post by: Gluk the Walrus on December 28, 2016, 08:21:39 pm
It's not that Episode 3 is a 'bad' film, it just wasn't a good film. It's just decent is what I think of it. Star Wars as a concept is such an open world with so much going on that George could've done anything with it and he decided to go for the michael bay style of directing...fuck the characters, fuck the plot, all that shit is irrelevant...we need more fighting and more explosions so we can market this shit to kids and teenagers.

You can say that III had a good plot but it didn't...you're thinking of the ending of the prequels which is something separate. The prequels tell a story themselves, collectively as one. Each movie tells a smaller story within that trilogy and they are all trash. Not one is good on its own and relies on the overall prequel story to hold them up. Think about this, the ONLY thing that saved episode I was the expectation of episode II and the ONLY thing that saved episode II was the expectation of episode III, this long build up is what saved the entire prequel trilogy. The overall prequel story that built up is decent. Basically, young boy meets young girl, young boy/girl grow up and fall in love and bang and stuff, young man betrays his friends, young woman gives birth to child. It's a sad tragedy and although it's basic, it's good and it's a great way to lead into episode 4. HOWEVER everything else that set the 3 movies apart is where it goes awfully down hill. Episode I had gungans which played a central role in the plot, shit child actor playing as the *sort of* main character(?), only redeeming aspects were qui-gon, obi-wan and darth maul...that's literally it. Episode II was a young child's battle fantasy with epic battles and sword fights and stuff...though horribly void of any real plot substance at all...they fell in love but that whole thing was just...bad...just so bad... The whole thing in the arena and the monsters was actually really cool and I liked that a lot. I liked how the jedis showed up to save the day however the battle afterwards was kinda dumb and the fight with count dooku and anakin was...meh...it was okay. Already explained my problems with III above.
Title: Re: Movie Critic Thread
Post by: AeroNinja on December 28, 2016, 08:50:13 pm
Star wars movies indeed lacked a lot of fighting.

Now to move over to an other point. I actually dislike and strongly dislike Disney to just throw the Clone Wars away. There are so many hidden stories where they can make awesome movies out. They did that in The Clone Wars animated series. But I think it would be awesome if they make some more standalone movies about the era. It's really a bad excuse just because The Force Awakens and Rogue one are out that only the Civil War should be given and only to build on that further. Civil War really bores the hell out of me. Yes Darth Vader looks awesome and these Imperial spaceships. But seriously, these troopers can't hit anything. Well in the new movie they hit something. I was really surprised. I don't get it why the Civil War is so populair. Just because humanoids are getting shot instead of Droids? Because it's more violent and brutal?

I literally hope Clone Wars gets its part again in the far future. As you said, the Star Wars universe covers a LOT more. So I hope Disney will not forget that.

Rogue One must have reshot a ton of stuff because there are so many scenes from the trailers that are not in the movie. Jynn running into tie fighter on top of antenna, Krennic with pistol aboard some ship, running through beach with plans while getting shot by AT-ACT's, Cassian saying he recruits for the Rebellion + scene of captured rebel pilots missing. Just a lot of questions

This probably isn't a bad thing. A movie shouldn't be 3+ hours long and rogue one had a particularly long run time of like 2 hours and 30 minutes. You don't want too much stuff packed into one movie.  I dont think anything was reshot, just extra scenes that didn't make the final cut. The stuff you list are not crucial to the plot and will likely be added to some extended version or something which should be fun. Most movies record like 4 hours of scenes and from there they cut out what's not necessary until they reach around the 2 hour mark, give or take some. I think it was just fine as it was.

Well something seems wrong because there is a scene from a trailer showing Krennic walking through the aftermath of a battle at what looks like sundown and the antenna destroyed on Scariff. If that's the case than that means the whole plot was altered as he's still alive and the planet hasn't been nuked

What we are referring to is that the quality of the film is on par with that of the original trilogy. The prequels were kinda shit (just saying) and 7 was decent but it wasn't as great as any in the original trilogy. Rogue One, in it's quality as a film is just as good as the originals.

Yea.   and i get the feeling that 7 will get more love or hate depending on how well it sets up 8 and 9.  If the latter 2 do really well thanks to the story started by 7, people will like it more.  If it turns into a train wreck, people will point at 7 as where it started going downhill.

Episode 7 was utter shit with a lot of in-built SJW stuff plus the return of old characters to play up the nostalgia levels felt forced and unnatural. The acting was terrible (Daisy Ridley especially) and the plot details were a bit dumb (Luke runs away, the Empire lives on for some reason and the resistance is still the resistance, and in less than 20 years people in the Star Wars universe have somehow started to think that the events of episodes IV-VI didn't happen-wtf?). I was also annoyed by Kylo Renn's silly lightsaber design and cheap rip-off of the deathstar that they went with. I think Harrison Ford read the script, saw how shit it was and insisted Han Solo is killed off so he didn't have to embarrass himself further by appearing in 8 or 9. Dunno, maybe if Abrams didn't steal the plot from A New Hope then it might have been better.

Harrison Ford wanted them to kill off Han Solo in Empire Strikes Back lol, I knew immediately they were going to kill Han Solo off in Ep 7 before going to see the film.

I feel I can't really judge Ep 7 fairly without seeing Ep 8.

Steven...i don't want to be in a position where i have to defend 7 because imo it was just okay. However some of your criticism is unfounded. Just because they have a female lead and a black guy doesn't mean they are playing the SJW card, please stfu about this...no one cares. It's not making a political statement, they are just actors. In contrast, the new ghostbusters was making a clear political statement and it failed.

1. We don't know why luke ran away, this is a plot point, it's meant to be explained later on. Just because they haven't explained it to you yet doesn't mean that's valid criticism.
2. The empire didn't live on, this is a recreation of the empire. In the lore, it is a new empire made by former imperial officers. I will admit that this whole setup seems very hazy with a lot of holes but it's not the same empire. Same goes for the resistance...
3. Kylo Ren's lightsaber is practical. (https://youtu.be/dZ80zl46oho?t=3m11s) Please stop talking about his lightsaber. It looks cool, that's all that should matter. Stop looking deeper into star wars than is absolutely necessary. "Kylo Ren's lightsaber design is silly"...lightsabers in general are silly.

However you are completely right about the death planet bullshit being a rip off of the deathstar. The earlier criticism about Rey being able to use a lightsaber and the force with literally no training was something that pissed off any star wars fan. These two reasons are why 7 could not be great...BUT....the movie does not make the same mistakes as the prequels (or it hasn't yet) and all round is kind of a decent movie. It's like a solid 6.5/10...awfully average and safe. I think i gave it like an 8/10 when it first came out but yeah....

i think the only reason the lead was a female was to try and attract more women to see the show (along with some good publicity). It was honestly a pretty good move from a company standpoint. And i didnt care for that lightsaber. I thought it just looked kinda dumb.

i think its kinda funny how there are alot of people mad at the Star Wars films for having white female leads now. Like it is honestly impossible to satisfy some of these people

Stop putting words in my mouth I never said that at all. What I hate are the stupid, forced lines Rey says like 'I know how to run without you holding my hand!' that are cringey as fuck. We don't get any of that shit in Rogue One, a film I would have hated if I had a problem with female leads (which clearly I don't).

So basically you're saying the film doesn't stand up on its own two feet? Okay, sure, just shows how terrible it was. Whatever, first order/empire it's the same shit nobody cares. Abrams didn't put much thought into it so why should I? My problem with the lightsaber design is that Abrams clearly wanted to go 'one up' on Episode 1 with Darth Maul's twin saber design just for the sake of it but it just looked pointless. Maul's design was a major feature of the duel scene at the end Episode 1, Ren's was just superficial. Abrams probably thought 'if we add those two bits on the light saber it would look really cool and original guys yeah fuck it lets do that'.

Oh boy have I seen it

I know the description on IMDB seems cheesy and far-fetched and probably more boring than Call of Duty: poart 322, but it is very well executed, the actors are mostly great dn the storyline doesn't get boring after season 3. It is a really nice series. It is definitely in my top 5 of favourite series. And thank you for reminding me it still exists, I have been waiting on the next season for over a year now.

Same goes for The Last Ship, which is really great too.
Which I just checked out again, too. After opening my favourite box of popcorn ;) I found out 2 more seasons were added since I waited at the end of season 2. I thank you sincerely for reminding me.


Speaking of series: I finished the first (and sometimes second) season of the following series I enjoyed them all and can definitely recommend to watch them:
- Travellers
- Shooter
- 3% (which is Brazillian, so spoken language is Portugese, but it is very well worth watching)
- The Expanse

Yes I knwo they're all Netflix originals, but hey. Netflix makes good ones.

I disagree Riddlez, although I didn't watch enough of it to give a fair review but what I saw of it, i didn't like. Maybe you can critique my own critique if i got anything wrong.

Personally I don't think it's very interesting. The premise is sort of interesting but I just felt so fucking bored the entire time. Not enough action for a series that I expect to have action. Maybe there is more later on but truthfully I expect to see an active resistance fighting like it was still WW2 but in the show, the resistance is fucking useless...at least of what I saw. Most people seem totally fine with the occupation which totally throws me off, it's just something i couldn't get around. Americans are so god damn patriotic that they would never accept occupation so easily, they would keep fighting a hundred years after their occupation. It's a characteristic about american culture that you cannot deny and the fact that this is ignored almost entirely just destroys the suspension of disbelief. It's not just that Germany/Japan won WW2, it's also that american was 10x more whimpy. IT NEEDS MORE ACTION! An alternate history movie or show needs to be believable and this just isn't believable to me. Also WTF is up with the rocky mountains? In the show that is considered a "neutral territory" between US Japan and US Germany. What the actual fuck is a "neutral territory"...that shit doesn't happen...I only watched less than one season so maybe it gets better later on. I felt that way about vikings as well (not enough action for a show about action) but it picked up in season 3 and 4.

In contrast, boardwalk empire is the perfect amount of action, not too much, not too little. It's never forced and it always serves it's purpose for the story and I love that.

Japan in WW2 was as patriotic and deidcated to keep on fighting as America was. Yet 2 nukes and even THEY bowed. Almost the entire East Coast was bombed (nuked) in TMitHC. That'd put the fight out of the Americans. Also, the events take place in roughly '80's, was it? That's at least the 2nd generation after WW2. They'd be used to the German/Japanese occupation.
I mean, fuck. In the actual WW2, most of the Dutch were 'okay' with the situation after a year. People tend to adapt to their situation, since it's preferable to death.

I think Vikings was exceptional. I dont believe Vikings is about action although action is a crucial part of it. The show is loosely based off Ragnar Lodbrok and naturally everything has a beginning. It wouldnt make much sense to start off the series with just pure mindless action I think. Personally, while not the BEST show it's certainly gained a place in my heart.

My favorite TV shows as it stands in no particular order are
Archer
Vikings
Game of Thrones (big surprise whoa)
Spartacus
Family Guy (for the light-hearted dumb comedy. It's fun to just sit down every now and then and kek at stupid shit)
Narcos (dont know if this counts as a tv show? It aired on Netflix and netflix is web-based :o

One show that has piqued my interest is Medici: Masters of Florence
I liked the feel of it, there are some things that I think couldve been done better but it certainly has potential.

Archer is a fantastic cartoon comedy. I love that cartoon comedy is kind of making a comeback with rick and morty and Archer. It was sort of dying out when South Park and Family Guy became so repetitive to the point of being dull, they just ran out of good material. We need new fresh memes to enjoy and these shows provide them. Although for archer, i didn't really like how they switched from being a spy agency to being a cocaine dealing operation, it changed it's feel from james bond to like narco, however this was probably intentional. I still love the show and i appreciate that they are trying something new.

The latest underworld movie wasn't bad.  It wasn't a great movie either.  I enjoyed it nonetheless.  It had some the usual annoyances like no one could hit the broad side of the barn 5 feet away.  I don't recall seeing anyone reloading, even after hundreds of shots.  a few other instances of why would they do this and not that, but it didn't ruin the movie.   It was about as annoying as say seeing a window shot in one screen, and the next its perfectly fine.(captain america: winter soldier had this in the chase scene with fury as an example)

Don't know if the poll is even still relevant but Boardwalk Empire could've easily been one of the great HBO shows, up there with the likes of Sopranos and The Wire, had it not been for the fact that they killed off the main character (Jimmy) so early on in the show's progression. Boardwalk Empire had lots of potential; Buscemi was perfect as Nucky Thompson but when they decided to let Michael Pitt go the show went downhill fast. The whole Richard Harrow saga wasn't half as good as the first two seasons in my opinion.

From what I can remember, there is only ONE movie that I just turned off in the middle of because it was so bad.
And that, my friends was Hansel and Gretel from 2013. Not to be mistaken with the Witch Hunters crap with that one bow guy from the avengers. I mean this movie was SERIOUSLY low budget. I had actually accidentally rented it thinking it was the Witcher Hunters movie. God, it was the biggest piece of shit...

Anyway, has anyone ever seen the Resident Evil movie series? I followed it since I was a kid and I think its only recently that ive realized they dont really make that much sense and arent that good but yknow I HAVE to watch the next one thats going to come out just to at least get closure to the whole thing. Ive seen every single one

eh, i watched the whole thing.  It was meh to me. Wasn't good or bad.  Just meh.  Perhaps the movie didn't bother me that much due to me not knowing a lot about it, or caring much about it in the first place.  I didn't have any expectations to be squashed.

Watched John Wick 2. Loved it, I haven't seen the first one but the action and the sound effects were amazing. I don't know if it's because I hadn't actually sat down and watched a movie in the theatres in awhile or what.

Moonlight. Has anyone else here seen it? I was invited to watch it with family at home without any context. Very awkward.
I think the movie started off good, midway was ALRIGHT up until...*ahem* *grunt noises* but then it just fell off hard, I really hated how it ended. It was only until after I finished watching it that I was told it won best picture.

John Wick 2 7/10 - Good plain ol' action movie.
Moonlight 7/10 - alright

and I just watched Manchester by the Sea last night, it was pretty good. Casey Affleck's performance was imo the best out of all the other Oscar nominations. It was a slow movie but had some heavy scenes in it.

8.5/10

I can watch Logan and enjoy it at as more of a drama as opposed to the generic super hero movie of "let's fight mindless bad guys and no one dies, yeahhhh"

There was some element of family and character that most superhero movies never really look at. It's not Citizen Kane but hopefully we'll start to see more superhero movies focus on character development and less on action. It's definitely sad to see Hugh Jackman step down from the role, I grew up watching him :(

Watched Split. Liked it very much... until the last bit.

Spoiler
I mean, the supernatural bit is just overdone. Surely the concept of 'mind-over-matter' is appealing, but I think it was very poorly executed. I mean... two point blank shotgun shots to the face? All I could tihnk of was "I wonder how this dude faces off against a tank." It was really, really not good.

That, and I was waiting for some sort of happily ever after, which didn't happen. THat really satisfied me.

yea, I can see this being more of a drama movie than action.  I enjoyed the movie.  I guess the biggest negative for me was I pretty much knew what would happen.  It was fairly predictable.  Unlike John wick, where it was one turn after another not knowing what would happen next.  Yea, it was a non stop action  movie, so you could guess what would in that respect, but how it played out.  Same for the ending.  Which is why I would say wick is better.

There were a few other things that I wish were done better in logan.

And yea, ill miss  him as well.  He played his role well in every wolverine  movie.  They will have a hard time replacing him.  I guess him leaving made the ending easier to guess, than if he was to till after this movie to announce it.

I haven't watched split.  Just didn't seem like something I would like.

I recently saw Logan. Was a solid experience in a packed theater. My only gripe, and this was a huge oversight.. was the scheduled showing being in IMAX.. which was very loud during some scenes. I can handle a lot of very loud noises, but this was screeching unpleasant even for me. It did not help with the seating options being slightly towards the left and probably closer to some speakers. The movie itself was dark, gritty and also as expected, bleak. It had a warning of nudity besides the violence and to my disappointment that entailed nothing meaningful but one silly scene. Definitely not a movie for the whole family, but a movie following the trend set by Deadpool and other R rated 'superhero' movies.

Kong: Skull Island was an entertaining reboot/origin story to see in theaters. It has a nice amount of action, comedy, and suspense, to almost downright horror akin to the 2005 Universal Studios' movie. I really enjoyed the movie though for what it is as a reboot of King Kong's silver screen spotlight. Instead of 1933, the majority of the movie takes place in 1973. Which explains why there are Vietnam War-era helicopters in the trailers. would see the movie again.

Power Rangers was decent. It was a really good story and just all around solid performance for 3/4 of it. However, near the end they tried to make it more like the old TV shows (very cheesy) and it didn't mix well at all with the rest of it. Good humor, decent fight scenes, good visuals. I'd say choose another movie if you are deciding between a couple, but worth watching if you just want to watch something.

I watch it aswell, it's a pretty good show but as you mentioned, quite a noticable agenda they're pushing. Although it doesn't really bother me, the show is great entertainment in my opinion regardless. The subplot is amazing.

Anyone else here that watches House of Cards and is really excited for the new season coming next week? ;D

The agenda is definitely palpable but really only got overbearing to the point of turning me off in the gun control episode.

Also the show has been filming in my area. Was pretty funny watching them replace the Canadian flags on city hall with American ones and line up Main Street with more American flags whilst a procession of black limos did laps being filmed.

Yeah, the Agar.io thing was pretty fun in House of Cards, and if I recall there also was some sort of indie game placed in there somewhere aswell

But in Designated Survivor the Ford thing seemed completely forced and unnecessary. Was hilarious to see how they did it though, but NOT a good way to market stuuff.

I admire how House of Cards deals with every politically sensitive issue in the show, yet is barely critized for displaying some political preference. I know it's not that hard, given that Francis and Claire do not really give a shit about anything as long as it gives them more power.... still... It's funny how they dealt with gun control without getting hordes of angry southerners shouting 'oi you're being influenced by the demotards'.

To quote the show "You're a democrat from South Carolina, which makes you a republican."-"And you're a republican from New York, which makes you a democrat."
Underwoods has no political agenda except for to build a legacy. And I feel like everyone, including myself views his policy as a means only to consolidate his power.

He was only a minor player then. All the shit he's done, it's bound to attract attention. First from within the government, then the media. Literally nobody likes him and really only people still support him because they're scared. The show is called House of Cards for a reason. A dynasty based on fear won't last long.

Double post but I wanted to talk about HoC
Spoilers for the Netflix series and the BBC one as well as the book.
Spoiler
I really wish that instead of having Frank resign that they did what the book and BBC series did. Basically Francis Urquhart has an incriminating tape about him about to be leaked and in order to save his legacy he arranges his own assassination just after the national anthem is played. This allows for him to be made a national hero and his party wins a landslide next election cycle. In the T.V series its his wife who arranges it instead. I think this would have been much more in character for Frank Underwood and would be a much more gratifying ending compared to whatever comes next in the series. I think they made a huge mistake in making Claire POTUS as it completely takes away from Franks brutal struggle to reach his goals and stay in power.

Watching the trailers I somehow had the feeling that they would completely ignore the French.

Reading about it on the net I now have confirmation that they did not include any French.

Stupid movie, that's reason enough not to watch it.

They tried to make a movie about the Maginot Line but the set was understaffed and poorly located, everyone they contacted gave it a pass and moved on to better things.

You're telling me the French deserve the spotlight in a movie by a British director, who predominately cast Brits, in a war where they got dunked on and an event that was designed to evacuate British and a movie that tells a dramatization. Good one m8'y /s

Dunkirk Spoilers
Great movie although I will say that Farrier's (Tom Hardy) gliding kill on that Stuka was absolutely incredible to think about but also sort of crazy as I've never heard of an instance of it.

In terms of the film itself, I really liked the direction Nolan chose by not actually putting Germans on screen until the very end. It helped create a theme of suspense and put the focus on the characters and less on an onscreen enemy. You never knew where the Germans were, for example with the torpedoes or when they shoot at the beached boat. Overall that atmosphere of tension and suspense was really well done.

On a final note, I love the decision to have Farrier choose self-sacrifice by opting to stay over Dunkirk rather then him return. I think it was great to show a nationalistic ending where the character would rather risk his life as a PoW then go back home to fight another battle and condemn more men to death.

I think it was because he was going too fast to make a safe landing approach and he didn't want to risk bailing out? I'm not sure on that either. I think it was more for symbolism of his character putting others before him.

Dunkirk gets an iffy 5/10 from me. The sound and graphical effects where amazing, along with some fantastic cinematography. What really killed it for me was the story. Main characters who don't develop, two of whom have almost no lines, I didn't get a single name the whole film. Most interesting character by far was the old man driving the boat, which really doesn't say much as he is more in the good side character range. Only part I genuinely enjoyed was perhaps the last 5-10 minutes of the film. Churchill's speeches always make me swell and so it was really enjoyable accompanied by the imagery. But it doesn't take a Stephen Spielberg to make a good ending to a war film, and so it really doesn't do enough to carry the film. I feel it would have served better to make a movie called "Dunkirk" about the actual battle rather then 2 cowards trying to escape in 10 different ways, along with some RAF scenes and 3 guys on a boat. Overall feels like a lot of lost for potential due to a bad plot.
Title: Re: Movie & TV Show Critic Thread
Post by: Toffee on August 31, 2017, 03:05:29 am
Trying to make Dunkirk about a battle that was focused around an entire army escaping...just like the film showed. If you're calling those guys cowards then I suppose the other 400,000 blokes on the beach are too along with the entire British high command.

Storytelling has a certain subtlety to it when done right so sometimes you don't need a name or every fact under the sun about a character. If we were given every fact about the characters it might come off as trying to hard to develop their storylines. Think of them as an extension of every soldier on the beach and the stories of said men combined into a group of characters representative of the Dunkirk struggle as a whole.

Spoiler
One of them was a deserter who stole a uniform from a dead man to flee to a different country, they both kept on doing whatever it took to get away as soon as they could rather then just wait in line like the other 300,000 men. They used a wounded man to get to the front of the line and then tried to remain on the ship afterwards.

There really isn't any subtlety in the story telling at all, there really isn't any story telling. The Army wanted to leave, the RAF wanted to protect the army and the Navy/Civilians wanted to help. In the end the most of them go home. That's basically the story, and all of that is layed out within the first 15 minutes of the movie. The rest of the movie is ship hopping combined with some dogfights. It looks pretty, but its not exactly an enthralling tale is it? The film could have been about heroism when the odd are against you, about maintaining hope, about how a nation pulled together to save its trapped men, about the bravery of the men on the beaches. But you really don't get a strong sense of any of that. There really isn't a message to the film, nor is it really about what strictly happened at the battle. So what is Dunkirk about? As I stated, 2 cowards trying to leave, 3 RAF pilots doing their job, and 3 men on a boat. The boats scenes no joke are the best written ones in the film and honestly shine above all others.

I guess you were just asleep when all the boats arrived on the beach then.

I'm quite happy actually that this wasn't just showing battles and shit. I'm pretty sure Nolan wanted to make something different than just Saving Private Ryan English Edition. It portrayed the desperation of a bunch of soldiers trapped on a foreign beach without much hope for the future pretty well if you ask me, dunno what kind of "heroism" you were looking for. I can understand having a problem with the way the story was told tho as there isn't really a compelling reason for telling it in such a non-linear way. Surely the film must be above average considering the production value, the soundtrack, and the direction tho rite?

If the story ain't there the atmosphere can only do so much tbh. The thing about the movie is that they hardly spent time on a beach, majority of it was on ships or in the sea. When I talk about the whole heroism approach, here's how the move was advertised "When 400,000 men couldn't come home, home cam for them." That sounds like you're going to have people trapped on a beach trying to stay alive while the RAF, the Navy and Civilians fight to get them off the shore. I figured they would show the rearguard fighting to keep the beach open and the RAF trying to keep the Luftwaffe off the Navy so they could get home. Instead you get 2 men hoping between boats the whole time, doesn't really feel like "home came for them." but rather they're desperate to get to home. I didn't really sense a hopeless situation at any point, there was nothing to instill urgency in the need to leave. They managed to get on 4 different boats before the Germans reached the shore. It would have worked so much better had they locked the perspective to the ground and the ground only. It would have kept the feeling trapped and confined, which is what most people would be feeling. Rather than have most of the story be them already out of Dunkirk and at sea.

Conway did we watch the same film? They did show the RAF fighting the Luftwaffe. That was Tom Harry's entire role. I don't know what you wanted from a film that is based on a true story. You're saying that the there was no sense of urgency and that the Germans didn't arrive soon enough even though that is exactly what happened, the Germans stopped which is what allowed the allies to get off the beach in the first place.

Of course they're desperate to get home..as was the rest of the army, that is the entire premise of what occurred both in real life and the film The characters are displayed like this to display the urgency. The subtlety I was talking about has gone over your head. There is no time for talking or giving your life story. It's a fight for survival.. I don't know what you're expecting but if you didn't want a film predominantly set at sea then you shouldn't have gone to see a movie about a naval evacuation. This wasn't a film about the battle it was a film about the evacuation and the story centred around the people who took part in it. Even so Nolan did give glimpses of the rearguard at the beginning of the film when the lead walks past the French sandbags in the town.

I never said the RAF wasn't there. I was more so saying I was expected a "We're all in it for the boys on the ground" rather then a "We're the boys on the ground and we want to get the fuck out" when I saw the films adverts. I got a taste of the urgency at the start when everyone was huddled on the mole. But it kind of faded once they got on the first ship. I don't know what you mean about subtlety. Subtlety comes in when there is an underlying message that a director wants to take away from the film. Or when they want you to notice something about a character without saying it. This film is anything but subtle is how it displays each characters motivation. 2 guys want to leave, RAF is there to protect the Navy, Civilians want to help the soldiers, you figure this out in the first few minutes each group has on screen time. That's not subtle Toffee. It's very obvious the whole time. I don't know about you, but I find it hard to like characters who don't talk, don't have names, who I can't tell apart and who are exactly the same all the way through the film. I didn't expect the amount of time at sea, because I didn't realize the average British soldier had to hop between 4 ships to get home. My bad.
Title: Re: Movie & TV Show Critic Thread
Post by: Toffee on August 31, 2017, 05:15:36 am
Yes the subtlety is there because there is an underlying message of the urgency without the director feeling the need to openly come out and say it. You can see as I mentioned before by the lack of character names and backstories as they don't have time for this because of the desperation to get home as soon as possible. The soundtrack is also perfectly designed to add to the urgency with the ticking clock added for the exact purpose of urgency to give the sense of lost time.

As I said, the characters, for me at least, are designed to be a portrayal of the army of a whole. Obviously not every soldier was on four sunk ships but Nolan does this repeatedly to give us a sense of the frustration felt by the British as they tried to get off the beach whilst constantly being harassed by the Germans.

You're taking everything that happened in the film at face value without looking into its meaning and the intention behind it.

It was a jab at your snobbishness, snob.  And again you're being a hypocrite. Don't get butthurt when people "take the piss about something they care about" when you're guilty of the same thing?

Did you read the rest of what I posted? You're just being immature and looking for an argument which you started by taking the mick. If you want to talk about the things relevant to the thread then post, if you don't then quit looking to bait a response. This will be my last post on the matter since you clearly can't find a decent enough insult to warrant a response. Even Gordo's "shill" is better than this.

I'm not looking for an argument and I don't really care about my 1 post that you took great offense to. Ignoring your own hypocrisy doesn't mean you're not a hypocrite.

What's your favourite war movie? Mine would have to be The Thin Red Line, when I watched that the first time I was really surprised by how different it is from other war movies. Obviously it's not for everyone, but I liked the contrast to Saving Private Ryan which came out just before TTRL.

Obviously not because of most of the acting, it's usually very starch. The Napoleon is THE Napoleon though. They cast him using a fucking time machine. But it's the idea of the film that helps. Everything you see in that film is genuine.

Background actors are always superior to CGI. Shame they probably can't pull that off these days due to the cost. I think my favourite war film would either be Waterloo or Zulu.

Platoon, The Wind that Shakes the Barley, We were Soldiers, Saving Private Ryan, Waterloo, Zulu, Black Hawk Down, Enemy at the Gates, Inglorious Basterds, Das Boot, Schindler's Lists and Downfall are my favourite war films. I know some are less combat based then others but I feel they still all fit under the category.

T.V series - Pacific, Band of Brothers and M*A*S*H, M*A*S*H is  my favourite T.V show of all time.

Hollywood had been boycotting the poor guy for a while, he was an alcoholic with some problems which spurred that video of him going off on Jews. Most people moved on though after he recovered from alcoholism and apologized for his comments. He is a very talented actor and movie director though as he's shown, which is why he's still making some good 💯 shit.

I dunno, there's a difference between being 'historically inaccurate' and 'propaganda', and the latter was essentially what The Patriot was. Fair enough if they want to put it a certain way for American audiences but they took it a bit far lol.

Agressive Expansion from Batman: the Dark Knight.
No Time for Caution from Interstellar.
Davy Jones' Theme from PotC

And the music from Les Misérables, I know it wasn't written for the film on itself, but the version that they DID record for the film was far, far better than the music they had during its time with the original London cast. The film version also was very close to the Dutch musical version. It's all on spotify, the difference is amazing.

Yeah the bike one was good too. You should watch the Christmas episode if you haven't already. Main actor from Mad Men (Jon Hamm) is in it and it turns out to be one of the best episodes in the series. I do enjoy the shows satire mixed with the unsettling message about society/technology.

Black Mirror is great, though Season 3 was a bit hit and miss (probably because up till then it was 3 episodes a season but it got taken on by Netflix who wanted 6, so quality declined a little I feel). Season 4 is out today on Netflix by the way!

Well I suppose part of the movie felt slow and uninteresting, I loved how they added a few new characters though and created more depth behind the whole ''Team that captured the blueprints from the Death Star''. Which was always kind of an ''unknown'' topic, besides that the rebellion just suddenly received them through a team.
It helps shape the star wars universe further.
Especially the ending IMO was one of the best Star Wars movie endings, the chills that I felt when I saw Vader appear was quite insane.

It's pretty sad really. I think the premise was great but it sort of invalidates so much of the original trilogy with there being this huge rebel fleet and having Darth Vader be a badass just to look like a fool when he fights Obi-Wan in A New Hope. I also don't get 'hey, we captured you and now we're trusting you to save a rebellion you just learned about1!!1!!'

I hope Solo focuses more on.. Han Solo.

Went into Justice League with low expectations after putting it off for a while and I have to say it was surprisingly even worse than I expected. 4/10

The Cloverfield Paradox got me hyped during the superbowl but was meh. 6/10

Black Panther was pretty good but nothing extraordinary, 7.5/10

Also worth noting Black Panther's domestic total in its first 4 days beat Justice League's entire domestic run. Add that to the "things you'd be institutionalized for believing would ever happen 10 years ago" list.

And I'd wager as of now that unless it bombs critically (which I dont expect) Infinity War will hit $2 billion total.

I actually just watched justice league last night. It wasn’t a good movie. I would give it like 5.5/10.

DC keep trying to shove way to much into their films instead of slowly building a universe. Also they really lack interesting villains

And I don’t like what they did to Barry Allen/Flash.

Black Panther was a solid 5 for me. Aside from the good acting performances and pretty visuals the plot itself was hardly different from every other generic superhero flick. The dialogue was also quite bad with many of the “comedic” lines feeling very forced (what are those comes to mind).

Check out The Phantom Thread or I, Tonya if they’re playing near you. Much better films to spend your money on imo (unless you have a moviepass like i do).

To be fair Marvel's been on the grind for a while now

The Punisher is a series I genuinly loved for its brute and yet down to earth feeling, the fist-fights were enjoyable and the series lead up to a good season's ending that was somewhat fulfilling but yet gave room for mystery for an upcoming season.

i don’t even think DC have the edge on tv anymore since marvel has all their quality Netflix series. DC let their small screen universe get too big and it requires you to watch all 5(?) shows.

 O well atleast DC still has the slight edge in comics...

The DCEU is a dumpster fire. In their race to keep up with Marvel and cash in on superhero team ups they fucked everything up.

MoS was bad and I absolutely despised it at the time but by comparison to BvS it is Citizen Kane. At least it had some good moments and performances.

BvS was a trainwreck of monumental proportions and a point of no return. Batman and Superman are completely retarded. The number of stupid plot contrivances and outright holes are downright comical. Jesse Eisenberg... I cant really even knock him cause he was so horrifically miscast. Then they have  to try to cram in Death of Superman with nowhere near enough build up into an already crowded movie. In the comics his death and the aftermath is a colossal event, in BvS its a punchline (he barely even gets a redemption arc after it seems the whole world inexplicably hates him halfway through the movie - half the world is probably still happy he is dead at the end). Then they didnt even have the balls to keep him dead til the end, they had to hint it then immediately bring him back in Justice League. Colossal waste of one of DC's best storylines (Death of Superman) and of Doomsday (who looks downright awful in their pure CGI)

Suicide Squad was fucking atrocious, first movie I have walked out on half way through. Boring, soulless... I just didn't give a shit about the story or any of the paper thin characters. Top it off with making the Joker a side character plot device, though its probably for the best as it is by far the worst take on the joker. Assault on Arkham did basically the same story but radically better.

Justice League was a mess. I cant really blame them cause New 52 made it this way, but for starters it doesnt feel like a Justice League movie without Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern (John Stewart or Hal Jordan preferably). The CGI is a complete disaster and looks borderline unrendered in places. Cyborg looks awful and is completely soulless - miss his Teen Titans version. Batman goes from grizzled old BvS Batman to awkward joke cracking Batman to borderline suicidal depressed Batman and randomly shifts around these throughout. Superman's return is telegraphed and whatever. The villain looks like a reskin of Wonder Woman's and is cliche as fuck. Aquaman is cool I guess thanks Jason Momoa. Wonder Woman goes from a fairly nuanced character in her movie to "wahhhh I loved a man once but he died :( ". Just not a good movie.
Title: Re: Movie & TV Show Critic Thread
Post by: BabyJesus on February 22, 2018, 12:46:06 am
I wouldn’t mind seeing a Kyle rayner (really anyone but guy Gardner plz) green lantern movie. I don’t think they will do Hal Jordan again for a little while since they fucked that movie up.

Martian manhunter is actually one of the most intresting characters. I’m surprised he isn’t getting fucked up by the DCEU yet

I feel like aquamans only lines were “my man”. I get that they wanted to make him seem badass but I think they might have tried a little too hard. Still he’s probably the best part about the movie

Its because, to my unending frustration, Martian Manhunter was effectively replaced by Cyborg as a founding JL member with the New 52 changes. Fuck New 52 by the way, ruined so many characters (see: Lobo) and costumes/designs.

I thought he was a founding memeber in new 52. But it was only the animated movie meh

Teen titans are awful too. I actually red like the first 30 comics

Gotham is really, really good. I like how it manages to do things slightly different than what you would expect at times but still keeps true to all the fundementals from the comics. Casting for most character is also perfect. Ben McKenzie is perfect as a younger version of Gordon and I also really like David Mazouz as teenager Bruce Wayne trying to find a purpose in life after the death of his parents. You can slowly but steadily see him becoming more and more like the Batman we know as the show progresses. Only thing I would say is that season 1 is a bit slow and the show doesn't take off properly until season 2.

What are your alls thoughts on Sony's MCU they're launching? The Venom teaser is definitely not great just because it didn't even show the Venom suit.. which is the point of a teaser, to tease you what it looks like for a split second and get the fanboys going. I will say that if they put that dumb venom force push into the movie I'll just walk out though.

So, not a bad season... But there were certain things that I disliked with it. Not the best they could have made, but it was worth the watch.

Spoiler Warning
It's annoying how they're portraying the right-wing party in the show. They're making them look like complete racist assholes, and they've basically made it so that left wing and socialists = good guys and then the right wing guys = bad guy fascists that are completely inhumane and don't give a shit about anything or anyone. It would be nice if they made the show unbiased, but I guess that's hard with everyone having their own political views (writers and directors included). I would expect it to be a little bit less one-sided though, oh and, it would certainly be nice to see a bit more actual politics in the show. Mainly it's been about family drama, crime and then a little bit of politics involved here and there. Would be nice if they stepped it up a notch for next season. And yeah, I'm assuming there'll be a third season considering how they ended things now. Btw, it's funny that Lucas wasn't blackmailed by Farid the first time he was elected mayor. Why did Farid wait until now with bringing up the pictures?? Feels like they wanted to have something easy to continue off on, but imo they could have picked something more exciting... We'll see what the future brings though, and if a season 3 even will come

I'm not the person to ask but I did talk to a friend who read the book and they said the book has a lot more plotlines and different quests instead of the one's taken in the movie. Wade also has more character in the book but that's usually standard in most movie adaptations. If it makes you feel better, the author helped in the screenwriting of the movie.

Not really spoilers but I'm just being courteous
As a fan of 'maniacal' villains, Thanos was very good. Josh Brolin really hit it on the head and reminded me of ra's al ghul as depicted by Liam Neeson in that he was cold, calculated but also didn't seem inherently evil because he's on a mission. I think Marvel wanted to remedy the whole 'marvel villain' problem where they don't give the villain enough story or screen time. This is often why the Dark Knight is so valued in that it gave the joker big screen time and here I liked how you could eerily connect with Thanos's mission, despite how insane it is just because we spent so much time with him this movie.

Thanos surely was the star of the movie and killed it for me so much, that i went out of cinema without the rather empty feeling I got after watching the rest of the franchise, besides Ironman I

Any big Predator franchise fans here that are unsure about how the next movie is going to be?
It's looking a bit grim with how they're trying to revert the whole backstory about Predators with trying to say they're trying to morph stuff about them to get even stronger when predators pretty much are top of the line already in power levels.
The whole predator society thing is based around hunting and in the lore they're tested from a young age to kill xenomorphs, if they succeed they keep advancing to further levels and rise in the tribe. If they don't, well they die.
Even the ones who designed the xenomorph and aliens in general (engineers) need to fight properly to be able to take out a predator, which usually is an even fight.

Just doesn't make sense for predators to want to mix their DNA with humans but oh well.

Well the trailer was shit, but theres still alot of people interested to see how it turns out.

Personally I will watch it but its just a low budget spin off so nothing really to expect from it.

This.

What made the first Predator good was the isolated setting and sheer hopelessness. Now that's all gone.

Yeah, saw it couple of months back, pretty disturibing and interesting to have a look at how serial killer profileling came to live. Especially loved all the the scenes where Holden and Bill where interviewing these high profile murderers like Ed Kemper or Brudos. The cemestry between old, down to earth Bill and this flipping, overexcited Holden was just the cherry on top. 
But disgussing crime Series by Netflix, Mindhunters only made it rank 2 for me on that service. Manhunt: Unabomber killed it for me.

The music gets me every time... Hans Zimmer is a Genius.
Tbh I really liked that bookshelf stuff since it shows pretty much that idea of the dimension/tesseract thing. I loved the combination of physics (as far as I remember Nolan cooperated with a relativity/QM Expert) and the dramatical part. Only thing I did not enjoy was the delevopment of the son, didn't make that much sense.

Dunkirk was dense, had it´s outstanding thrilling soundtrack, but it was filled with so much madness, like german soldiers firing on that stranded boat, which was depicted to be like a few steps shoreside form the mole and the rest of the B.E.F.? Spitfires with infinte ammo on board and stuff like that. And when Nolan thinks the audience is struck with feelings at the end, most people didn´t give a damn about that litte boy. But what? Flight Lt whatever his name was gets captured, when he was the only one still fighting the germans and saving his useless comrades arses, buh fucking duh, what about the frenchmen still holding in the city and were don´t even asked by the royal navy a pick em up. False pictured heroism ,tho that dude on the skipper, he was ballz imo.

Also 2012s The Dark Knight Rises, come on last act was pretty hastly written

The Expanse is brilliant, definitely worth giving it a try. Suffers at times from a lower than ideal budget, especially in Season 1, but the show just got bought by Amazon so that shouldn't be a problem going forward. Gets better each season too so there's no depreciation in quality. Season 3 just finished and I can't wait to see what Amazon do with Season 4.

Oof, finally an other Expanse enthusiast, yeah was just asking to see if anyone feels the same way about that show around here. Just rushed through Season 3, it´s freakin amazing for something originally transcripted by Sci-Fi Channel. But my gosh am I thrilled for this show, by far more then for a new series of GoT (well since Season 5 that isnt a relateable comparison cuz GoT went down the rabbithole pretty damn fast since around ~ 05 02). Every time Aimes just punshes somebody of his feet is a moment me and my buddys praise to heavens.

It's equally as dumb to expect Marvel to make concessions to Sony on that level and have two MCU's that are somehow connected and yet not connected.

Sony owns the Spiderman property but they lend out to character to Disney, Venom deliberately didn't have any references to the wider MCU just in case the film bombed but theres nothing to suggest that the film isn't connected to the MCU either

I'm guessing the plan is to connect to the MCU in future Venom/Spiderman films since it did so well in the box office (despite the bad reviews).

Some minor spoilers for what its like

It starts off slow, getting to know the main crew like the captain ect. Then it escalates and drops from time to time in terms of the beast which haunts them. So they deal with the winter and the beast as both of them kill the crew.

The score for this show has also been fantastic, great song for the somber ending.
