Lots of funny moments, action and great special effects.

Wow, you're easy to please, must be great even watching TV with this standard.

I watched Iron Man 2 last.

I enjoyed it, and was quite entertaining as an action movie, and even though it's about a guy who wears a suit and flys around at supersonic speeds, it managed to stay somehow realistic and hardly cheesy at all!

RetroVortex · 12/08/2010, 02:51 pm

Just finished watching The Thief and The Cobbler: Recobbled Cut, and I have to say, its a very nice film.
Admittadley I haven't been tainted with the other versions of it, so I took it as I saw it.
Despite the inconsistency, (since it was composed of different versions), the animation was absolutely fantastic, (I just love the small details here and there, like zigzags shoes, and the use of tacks to convey Tacks emotions), the mix of styles blend very well and create something unique.

I'd give it a 8.5/10, not one of the greatest films I've ever seen, but still very good and highly recommended for everyone!

...why would you say that? I enjoyed Iron Man 2 also, and I usually hate superhero movies.

SunnyGuy · 12/08/2010, 05:56 pm

Watched the new Chronicles of Narnia movie last weekend. I really liked it, pretty nice movie and adaptation. Oh, and thank ****ing god for character development, Eustace would make it unbearable to watch otherwise.

Oh, and damn, the religious elements get less subtle each time XD

Because in my opinion relative to the first part or some of the other better superhero movies or movies generally this one had a couple of major flaws and giving it a almost perfect score therefore is overrated.

Harry Potter 7, part I....not too bad....vote 6.5!

taumel · 12/13/2010, 11:22 am

A. Seven Samurai 8.5/10 (great film, especially for its time, nice characters but certain parts nowadays feel kind of aged).
B. House of Flying Daggers 8.5/10 (what a beautiful and partly touching movie, just wow, a couple of memorable scenes, the story and dialogues could be better).

Origami · 12/13/2010, 12:43 pm

Nice, you watched Seven Samurai.
Amazing flick.

The last seconds of that movie were so powerful, you know the hills....

So I just have other standards to how I want to rate the movies I watch, so I am not going to grade it lower to please you.

You hated it, and I liked it. Lets just leave it at that.

JedExodus · 12/13/2010, 02:20 pm

I actually watched The Matrix trilogy all on Sunday as I refused to move from my warm bed all day. The original's great, most'll agree on that, but the other two are pretty unfairly slated. For all the obtuse crap there is in there, may I remind you that there's like a million Hugo Weaving's on screen at once. Please take this into account and reassess

The whole "I don't watch TV" thing to me always smacks of elitism to be quite frank. TV caters for a wide variety of people and tastes, it's only natural that the vast majority of stuff being aired doesn't appeal to you or me or Joe Bloggs.

I don't personally watch TV a lot outside of the news, but I don't think it's necessarily a vapid wasteland by any means

Edit: All that said I wouldn't be giving Iron Man 2 a 9/10 anytime soon

Rather Dashing · 12/13/2010, 03:19 pm

Depends on your ratings scale I guess? Actually, 9/10 is a bit high, but if you're like a videogame reviewer and 7 is "it works, I guess, you know, kind of average", then an "8" would be arguably warranted.

taumel · 12/13/2010, 04:36 pm

I don't see a reason for watching TV anymore. Beside of a few football matches, a WM, cabaret and one children show it just doesn't make sense anymore as i've already seen what i wanted to, i don't need the trash and if they produce something interesting every decade, you can get it on DVD as well.

Iron Man 2, like many of the TV productions, to a large degree was a trash movie, maybe a 3/10, 4/10 if i'm really drunk and all feels magically fine. Simply one of those films you felt guilty wasting your money and time after leaving the cinema.

VeronicanPlay · 12/14/2010, 05:32 am

The Twilight Saga: New Moon - 0/5

So bad I don't even want to go into detail in fear I might throw up.

**puzzlebox** · 12/14/2010, 10:51 am

Chico & Rita - 7.5/10
Animation for grown-ups. Follows the stormy on/off relationship between two musicans (a singer and a piano player), from Havana to New York to Paris and back, through the jazz era of the 1950s and beyond. AMAZING soundtrack, as you might imagine.

It Happened One Night - 9/10 <-- lovelovelove
1930s film about a spoiled little rich girl who runs away to New York, falling for a roguish newspaper reporter along the way. Engaging characters, beautiful story, clever script. Laughed out loud so many times. Modern romantic comedies are pale imitations of this stuff.

The Dish - 7.5/10
Australian movie about the radio receiver dish in Parkes, which was responsible for putting the 1969 moon landing footage on TV. Nerdy and fun. Subtle, gentle humour and ocker accents all over. Made me homesick.

Secret Fawful · 12/14/2010, 01:19 pm

Drunken Master - 11/11 - The story of an arrogant, disrespectful, bark-worse than-bite little git-bastard who is shown repeatedly what a worm he really is, until, humiliated, he trains in a secret art of kung fu and gains respect for himself and for others. A fantastic story of growth.

Drunken Master II - 9/11 - This sequel pales story-wise in comparison to the classic that is the first. BUT. Action-wise and acting-wise, it's just as good. Jackie Chan really impresses me sometimes with his acting in his films outside the kung fu parts, and he pulls off some strong emotions in this film, but that's nothing strange as he did the same in the first. The woman who plays his mother really is the highlight of the film. She is badass. Action wise this is one of the best kung fu films of all time, no doubt, but even though the action in this is on a bigger scale, I still prefer Drunken Master One.

DrRocketGenius · 12/14/2010, 04:44 pm

Despicable Me - 10/10

I have been waiting for this to come out on Blu-ray since I first saw it. This is, hands-down, my favorite movie of the last few years. Hopefully I get a 3D TV soon so I can watch it in 3D.

It's not my problem that I have a different opinion than you. I thought it was a fantastic movie, so I gave it a score reflecting that. If you didn't see it- or didn't like it- fine. Whatever. Not a big deal.

I lol'd.
Imo I don't mind you giving Seven Samurai an 8.5. It's a great score. Personally I give it a 9/10
Heck, I wouldn't even be bothered if you gave Despicable Me a higher mark than Seven Samurai.
Like you say, different opinions.
But I fail to see how Despicable Me is a flawless movie in anyones opinion.
