Gulliver's Travels: 6/10. Had some great moments, but had several embarrassing attempts at humor that ruins it as well.

Don't know if I want to see it with my father anymore then, that's one of the things that I really don't like in movies...

Toy Story 3:
11 out of 10

[Farlander]

I don't understand WHAT people are seeing in Toy Story 3. Yeah, it's good, yeah it's touching at times, yeah it's done professionally, it's, well, it's a Pixar movie. It CAN'T be bad. But it's not THAT good. It's ten times worse than their latest WALL-E and Up.

But, maybe it's just me...

[SunnyGuy]

Yeah, I'd say it's just you, personally I enjoyed it more than Wall-E at least, and I really liked that movie.

Still, as you say, they're Pixar movies, they're all good (and yes I'd include Cars).

Clu looks like Jeff Bridges walked into The Polar Express. Uncanny valley abounds.

Also, Tron and Flynn weren't derezzed. Their deresolutions were not shown on screen in a movie full of deresolution. It's still wide open.

Tron I'll give you, though I still don't know how he'd survive what happened to him. However, unless a third movie is made and includes some hand waving, I'd consider what happened to Flynn to be fatal. Also, since Rinzler made Sam bleed rather than derez, I'm not sure that users can be derezzed in the same sense as programs. We've never actually seen a user killed in either the Encom system or the Grid.

Kick-ass: 8 out of 10. This had more swearing and blood than any movie I've ever seen, and it still managed to be comedic. It answered a question that needed answered pretty early on: What would happen to a normal person trying to be a super hero? Answer: They'd get their ass kicked. What would happen if that person succeeded, People would try to imitate and possibly kill this guy. Yeah, my main gripe was particularly how much violence there was. Most of it was done by a little girl, which made it majorly awesome.

Yeah, I liked this movie. It was just too violent at parts. I never like hostage scenes like the one here, it freaks me out.

I didn't enjoy WALL-E, but I will agree that Up was better than Toy Story 3.

I really enjoyed the robots and their relationships in WALL-E. And all those emotions without a single spoken (comprehensive) word. It was awesome, in my opinion. Granted, when it came to the second 'return humans home' half of the movie, it did shift the focus of the narrative and humans themselves have introduced a lot of goofy elements, but the robot stuff was still awesome. And I did shed some tears at the end, even though I knew WALL-E would be fixed (though his apparently blank erased memory at the very end did make me wonder if I was right). And I did shed some tears in Up (not only in the end, but in the beginning too...). But I didn't in Toy Story 3. I haven't found it emotionally touching the way the previous Pixar movies were, even though some people did.

Hoo, saw a bunch of movies recently. Let's see...

9 - 4/10. Great visuals, but very, very poorly thought-out story. And the characters seemed like templates rather than actual people. Overall, it was obvious that this film was based off of a short that wasn't story-driven.

TRON: Legacy - 7/10. Same problem as 9, except the story was a lot better and characters were more interesting. Still, I felt like the story could have been a bit improved, like explaining how Clu and his goons were able to find Flynn's hideout if they weren't able to before, and also how was Quorra able to get to the real world? Overall, though, not the worst movie, but I felt like if just a little more time was given to the script, it could have been so much better

Oh yeah, and young Jeff Bridges was kind of creepy.

Despicable Me - 8/10. It was pretty funny, and I liked the character designs! My main gripe is with the film are the little girls, though. Other than the middle girl maybe, they weren't all that believable to me.

I want to beat your face for saying this. Then I want to scream at you. Then I want to turn into Jason Voorhees and chase you through the woods.

Why? The story was great compared to 9. Don't get me wrong, it's no Citizen Kane or anything.

I thought one of those two things were explained well enough, and I guess I just made a reasonable assumption on the other. Jarvis said that they were able to trace the recovered classic Light Cycle back to Flynn's hideout. Presumably, this means objects/data either carry a history of or leave a trail to wherever they've been on the Grid. A somewhat weak explanation, but it's better than nothing. As for Quorra, I guess I just assumed that a program could get through the portal if they were with Flynn's disc at the time, and the reason Clu needed it enabled as the master key was to allow all the programs out at once.

And yeah, I was having a conversation with my dad about what the uncanny valley is, and during the conversation, I brought up three film examples of it. As it turns out, they were the first three examples in the film section when I brought it up on Wikipedia to show my dad the definition. The films were Tin Toy, The Polar Express, and Tron: Legacy.

I'll give you the first one, but the second one still doesn't explain how Quorra was able to attain flesh and bone... but then again, I suppose it doesn't make sense how the Flynns were able to turn into data either.

You're right. Of course, even the Room looks like a masterpiece compared to TRON: Legacy.

Well, Clu was planning on bringing a whole damn army out through the portal, so it was pretty well established that the laser thing works both ways, even if we didn't see an example of that until the end of the second film. Also, she may not be flesh and bone. On the Grid, Sam wasn't derezzed when he was injured, he still bled. What that means for the form Quorra would take in the real world is hard to say.

I hate you. I wish I could hate you to death

Seriously, Your kidding here, right? Napoleon Dynamite looks like a masterpiece compared to The Room, Tron Legacy is easily 10 times better than Napoleon Dynamite (Yeah, I loathe Napoleon Dynamite with a passion)

I've seen Clu referred to in multiple places (though god dammit, I can't find a single one of them right now) as Clu 2 or 2.0 or something. This isn't the Encom system Clu from the first film, this is another Clu created for the Grid, so there's no retcon involved.

We should be friends.

You're right, I just found this on the TRON wiki. Okay, that, at least, is in the movie's favor for me. I went to this with a friend and we both sat in the theater and went WTF at this point and just looked at each other like, what the hell did they just do? So to know they didn't screw that up at least...at least takes some of the uncomfortable memories from this movie away from me. Still, Zeus created enough uncomfortable memories for me to last a lifetime. Oh, yeah, and the scene where Sam accidentally sits down in front of the laser and accidentally activates the thing and accidentally transports himself into the Grid- like activates the damn laser he just sat down in front of by accident; I forgot about that- I swear fricking Inspector Clouseau couldn't have screwed himself so stupidly so fast.

Yes, and remember the fricking part where Quorra says their lightcycles can't go that way or they'll malfunction and die? And then later when they do anyway? That part just blows my mind. Or like how the main characters have dinner at one point- right food in the Grid. FOOD IN THE GRID.

This movie.
