re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Gotta agree there, saw it a few years back over a few history lessons, rather interesting.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It is an excellent film. Not particularly enjoyable (IMO) but that is, I think, an indication of how well it covers the more distiburing details of it's subject matter.

The last film I saw? 10,000 BC.

It's actually a lot like Stargate (the film minus the science fiction), also by Roland Emmerich. In a small way, the story also dovetails with the story of that film, but only because it is set around the time that the pyramids were constructed, and one of the characters hints that the people behind the pyramids weren't human.

Good points: Spectacular action scenes, and the scenes where they show the construction of the pyramids give an excellen sense of scale, both of the pyramids themselves and the number of people used in the construction.

Bad ponts: Takes an awful long time for anything remotely interesting to happen. My impantience wasn't helped by the fact that the cinema was full, and they hadn't even turned on the air vents, let alone the airconditioning. So, the room temperature was high.


6/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Not enjoyable at all - often deeply upsetting. The utter horror of the ash falling like snow.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Outlaw (with Sean Bean and Danny Dyer) Utter rubbish, not helped by the fact that I waited up till well past 2am for anything interesting/exciting to happen. 1/10

Next (Nicolas Cage) This is probably his worst film to date, could have been so much better. Huge disappointment - 4/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I'm a Legend. Gets the thumbs up from me.

Interesting how you could see the influence of the original Charlton Heston version, yet it was quite different too. Nice to see how they also explained why he was one of so few survivors.

It may be of the same genre as movies such as 28 Weeks Later, but I'm a Legend is far superior.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

You should really watch the alternative ending edition though, was much better and made alot more sense imo.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Where can i see that then?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I agree, the alternate ending is much better and makes much more sense.


Btw - you can see it here http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/03/...is-is-amazing/

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Google I AM Legend alternate ending and you will see it. Its much better, don't know why they changed it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

You should read the original novel by Richard Matheson - far superior to both the Will Smith & Charlton Heston movie adaptations :)


Although I do still like the movies.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Diary Of The Dead - HUGE, and I mean HUGE Romero fan. Didn't like it at all, to the point I cancelled my pre-order at Play. I willl give it another go as I am loath to dislike a Zombie film (NOTHING can beat Zombie films), let alone a Romero Zombie film, I hope it grabs me on second view.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Bank Job.

Excellent British gangster thriller, we have had a good couple of years for home grown films.
Anyway not as good as rise of the foot soldier but still very entertaining and robust performances from the stars.

8.5\10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Iron Man - 8/10.

Liked the irreverent humour, and the effects.

Music was good as well.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

9/10 from me for Iron Man. Loved it :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Iron Man 10/10


Great cast and acting. Great story and action. Overall really great!

Best comicbook/Superhero movie ever!! Been twice to see it already :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Iron Man - 8/10 - very good indeed.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Alien v Predator Requiem - Wastes an hour and a half. 5/10.

Did anyone else notice that the mysterious Colonel Stevens in the plane looked like the Cigarette Smoking Man from the X-Files?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Starship Troopers 2 - 6/10 not as good as the first one.

Idle Hands - 8/10 quite enjoyed it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I'd give it a 7/10, i actually rather enjoyed it, although it was quite predictable. The one thing that shocked me was the roof fight scene betwn the two species...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I thought starship trooper 2 was better than 1 as it was more a straight up sci-fi rather than comedy sci-fi.

Anyway...

A moment to remember (directors cut)

10/10, Great korean romance.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Well, it was lucky to get 5/10 from me. Nothing special for me.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Forbidden Kingdom. Jet Li and Jackie Chan 10/10 this film is ace

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Did you watch it at the cinema or the R5 DVD ;)

Took too many years to get a film with jet li and jackie chan together!

10/10 from me as well

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Nice Russians lol :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

El Orfanato (The Orphanage)

An excellent ghost film, the type they don't seem to make anymore. For me this beats all the Hollywood crap that's out at the moment by far.

Loved it.
10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Guillermo del Toro had some involvement with that I think?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark - 10/10

Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom - 8/10

Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade - 9/10



Awesome :D


Now to see Indy 4 some point this week...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Oxford Murders - Predictable but watchable - 5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

30 Days of Night - basically, load of ancient vampires turn up for a little snacking on the people of a town that becomes dark for 30 days once a year.

I thought it was poor. It lept about too much - time passing quickly, then slowly. Also no real acknowledgement by the survivors that they were dealing with vampires, and none of the usual defences. Just went for beheading, which is a little tricky to accomplish with your throat hanging out. No religion neither - whole town without a single priest or vicar. One of the vampires said there was no God - but presumably said vampire comes from Hell, in which case there must be a heaven, and by extension, a God. One of two shock moments but on the whole, not very scary. Nice aerial shot of the carnage, which made me think of Warcraft.

A modern slasher movie with a bit of added intelligence - 5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Planet Terror

- cameo appearances from Bruce Willis & Quentin Tarantino aside I was quite surprised how much I enjoyed this film, I don't usually like blood/gore/zombies type films, but this had an almost comic book feel, some humour - and Rose McGowan :drool:

8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Futurama - Bender's Big Score

Great to see the Planet Express crew again :D


Bit weak in places, but still very good.

8/10


Looking forward to the next one in June.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

8/10


Not as good as Raiders, but IMO still at least as good as Temple of Doom, & still an INDY MOVIE.

Plus easily far better than all the pretenders... Tomb Raider, Sahara, etc...and of course the awful National Treasure.


As for the ... didn't have too much of a problem with that, really. OK, I'd have preferred the ending to be more like the original three, but I don't think are any worse than the endings in the original trilogy.

One thing I did have a problem with... a FRIDGE!? LOL.

And maybe the monkeys...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

iron man with my kids ....

its a good movie but for kids really :p:

The Machine Girl

Very silly, Very Gorry, Funny and a bad english dub, what more could you ask for ? :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

No Country for Old Men (Blu-ray Disc)

Very good, with some great performances (especially from the creepy psycho bloke).

Bit of an "eh? WTF?" ending though.

9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

'Death Proof'

this is the second in the 'double header' Grindhouse project which includes the 'Planet Terror' film I watched the other day.

It is a very different experience to 'Planet Terror' & more difficult to 'get' the idea it supposed to be a parody. However, while some of the dialogue scenes are a little slow, the car based action sequences are superb.

7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yeah I agree the ending was a bit "huh!?"

That's to Matt D's post btw

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Total Recall (BD)


Classic SF action Arnie movie :D


8/10


Some great lines too...

Quaid (Arnie) - "Consider dat a divorce!"


Benny - "I wish I had three hands!"



Benny - "Man, I got 4 kids to feed!"

Quaid - "I thought you said you had five?"

Benny - "Heh, you got me man, I ain't even married"




Quaid - "See you at the party, Richter!"


Quaid - "Screw you, Benny!"

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ironically, I saw this film the night before my friend's stag do, and it was playing on the plane on the way home from his wedding... Sort of bookending the wedding.


Anyhow, although it was an enjoyable film, I took advantage of the fact I had loaded up my iPod with decent films, and fully charged it, and watched Terminator 2 on the way back.

I did hear a lot of complaints when we started the approach for landing and the pilot turned off 10,000 BC before it had finished.

Anyway, went and saw Indiana Jones tonight. Excellent film, well up to the standards of the others.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

one of my favourite films :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I just watched The Happening, It's the biggest load of crap i've seen. 1/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

6 Years In Love

Your typical korean romance/comedy drama, still cute and was quite interesting.

6/10

War Games

Hehe...really really out dated computers, brought back a few memories

5/10

The City Of Violence

Great korean action/kung-fu/crime movie

8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Enchanted - 7/10

Stardust (not the David Essex one) - 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The incredible Hulk, 9/10.

Totally fantastic, what the other one should have been.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Well I enjoyed the last one...I think it was more a chick flick though...I suspect that I shall hate the new one.I have agreed to accompany my son to see it though.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

If you enjoyed Iron Man then you should enjoy this, as Marvel now have their own production company they are able to make the films the way they want. So there will be some great cross overs between the new films.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I was referring to the last Hulk film,I haven't seen Iron Man.I would have gone with my son but he already went on his own..though if I pay he might go see it a second time.;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

After many months of wanting too, I eventually sat down and watched 'The Descent' tonight. Great British horror movie. Loved it. Ending was a little on the naff side but I can forgive it.

Worth watching if you like a scare or two although is a little gruesome at times :)

I have lots of interesting ideas about 'The Descent 2' though so look forward to it.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Just watched the new rambo last night and its awesome.

Wargames.2.The.Dead.Code.2008

1/10

Stupid crap remake of the original :(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

they remade 'wargames'?????

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Not remade, they did a sequel to it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

They made a sequel to wargames????

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It's pretty much classed as a remake by everyone, a poor one at that.

Very, very, very, very crap anyway.

---------- Post added at 00:05 ---------- Previous post was at 00:03 ----------

it's up in the usual places.

be prepared for stupidity/crap acting though...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It says a sequel on Wikipedia, but on IMDb it says it follows the original.
Yeah I checked that. So is it a sequel?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It's supposed to be a sequel but it follows the original one to the dot...it's 99.9% the same as the original.

Wish they would leave classics alone.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp :sleep:

Managed to watch about half of it via Sky's box office thingy. £3.99 wasted. I like quite a lot of musicals, and there are some great songs in Sweeney Todd, but it lacked energy and the cartoon-violence meant that there was no sense of drama. Awful 2/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It's not a movie, but have you saw Wicked in the East End? That is meant to be amazing, I've heard the soundtrack which I loved.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I have seen this a few times now and just watched it again on Blu-Ray tonight and it still to me is a fantastic movie.

Its not what you would assume a musical would be like. All happy loving cheesy songs, its violent and about murder and stuff. For me its one of my fav musicals. Just my opinion though. An other Tim Burton hit.

7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Not seen it, no, but heard good things about it. Think EP on Sunday might have played a song or two from it.


Interesting. It may just be Sondheim - either love him or not - but it sounds like you came to the film with certain preconceptions, which I would not have had, and as a result, you got more from the film. For me, it should have been a dark tale of revenge but was more of a poor comedy-drama.

[edit] Actually, thinking about it, in turning the musical into a movie with a big-hitter like Depp in the lead role, it has probably reached new audiences who would not normally watch a musical. Suppose it has to be commended for that.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Jumpers: Bloomin' Terrible :(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Jumpers?

Or Jumper?

=|

I thought Jumper was rather good, watched it last night.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Jumper - I obviously liked it so little that my brain couldn't be bothered to remember what it was called :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Indeed, too bad as the story could of gone so many places...but turned into the typical american teen half assed job...watchable but that's about it.

Double Vision

8/10

Interesting Horror/Thriller/Action though the end left me abit confused.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mutant knitwear takes over New York!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Incredible Hulk. SPOILER ALERT (heh heh):About some dude who really turns green (but out of rage not envy) and grows muscles where he had none.

Always a joy to watch William Hurt, seems to be all I'll take away from the movie. Tim Roth's a fine actor but I felt his character wasn't as interesting as some of the others he's played. Norton was his usual alienated self.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Wanted: 7/10

Overall its a great fun action movie. Some of the set pieces are a little OTT but didn't spoil my enjoyment of the film.

plus you get a great shot of Miss Jolie's bottom :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Futurama: The beast with a billion backs - 7/10

Very funny, but not as good as the last movie, Benders big score which i would give an 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Metal Gear Solid 4 - 10/10 ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Happening

Quite a clever film, it's about mass suicide kind of thing, and when you've seen it, you'll just want to kill yourself.

2/10 (the 2 is for the first 10 minutes of the film).

Saying that, it's very funny, but for all the wrong reasons though, from bad acting / script etc, for comedy value I'd give it a a good 8/10.

Also....

Shutter (unrated).

I think they spelt it wrong.

4/10

(Watch the original instead).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Across the Universe

Pretty good for a love story tied into the Vietnam war... But in a much different way to what you'd think. 7.5/10

Stargate 'Continuum' - the DiVx version..

Very good, I thought - plus the chance to see Don S one last time ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Once Upon A Time In The West. 10/10.
On a par with The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. IMO the character of Harmonica is the best Charles Bronson's ever portrayed. Jason Robards' Cheyenne also ranks as one of my favourites.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Wanted 8/10 Went OTT too many times.

Hancock 7/10 Your the only person i know who thought it was so-so (per your rating) :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Kidulthood.........................Is it really the way it is today?
Just watching Adulthood now..........................same?:(:confused:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It certainly is in certain areas and tbh it has been for a long long time. Every city or town has its own sub culture most "straights" would never know it was going on. For example there is a family in the town where I live where 2 of the older brothers go around local coke dealers armed with a gun and rob them This does not get reported to the police and this then does not get reported to the public. (BTW I do not know these people but I do know it has happened)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched Adulthood last night and i can see why they were made, Both films are really good and they do depict modern life for the teens,
No respect for anyone or anything.:erm:
The parents don`t have a clue what their offspring are upto at school or what problems they have because the children don`t tell them,.
It`s a great film in the sense that it tells you that no matter what you believe, going down the drugs and thugs, bullying road does`nt make you better than anyone else and that at heart, we`re all the same vulnerable people with needs.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Agreed. Plus that fantastic music.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

This Is England - 9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I would actually give Hancock a 9/10. And I have had the opposite experience to you, most people I know thought it was so-so and I'm the only one I know who really liked it.
That being said it wasn't at all like I expected, I think it was actually better. infact the only reason I'm giving it a 9/10 instead of 10/10 is because I heard the original script was much darker and was redrafted to make it softer to appeal to the masses as the original was supposed to be too depressing (or too real more likeley). I think it would have been all the better for the added dark.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Utter classic movie.

"How can you trust a man who wears both a belt and suspenders? The man can't even trust his own pants!"

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Guess we all have different tastes, i would of given it a 9/10 if i hadnt read parts of the original script :D

Still, a great movie none the less, i dont know why some people dont like it.

I mean, like "the happening" for example, now that, i can see why people hate...

3/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

That's the latest from M. Night Shyamalamalamawhatsit isn't it?

Yes..and it's full of really bad acting...

A script that seems none existant.

I fell asleep twice!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I thought wanted was a bit poor..... Visually had some good, if not far fethched stunts. Flipping the car over to shoot the guy through the sunroof was ridiculously OTT. I'd score it 5 out of 10 personally.

See my post #1870 for the same film. :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hancock 8/10 - Pretty enjoyable and Will Smith was good. Interesting twist on the superhero theme.

Kung Fu Panda - 8/10 - Some good laugh out loud moments.

Forbidden Kingdom 8/10, good angle on the original Monkey series :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Henry Fonda was brilliant--excellent actor. Did enough westerns for my liking too. Loved his and Kirk Douglas' subversive camaraderie in There's A Crooked Man, another great western though not in the same style as Sergio Leone's. I haven't seen it in at least 8 years. Must do so soon.

Last movie I saw was with my father this afternoon: Papillon. We'd seen it together at least ten times before. 9/10 if you've never read the book. 7/10 if you have.

WALL-E. 7/10.
Impressive. Pixar's got it together. Reminded me of James Thurber's comic strip The Last Flower (A Parable In Pictures). Would have scored more but the last twenty minutes fell flat. The opening cartoon, Presto, gets 10/10 however.
