Oh, I see, the old "I've had to suffer, so I want you to suffer too" strategy, eh? ;) Sorry, not falling for it. :p:

Quatermass and the pit.... OOOOooohhh that still gets me every time :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Starship troopers 3 - Marauder
poor acting, poor script, poor sets, poor cgi, poor, poor, poor!!!

To me it comes across as a spoof of itself. Dire.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

WALL-E - 8/10 (it got a little saccharine towards the end, imho, but the first 80% was cracking, again imho).

http://adisney.go.com/disneypictures...walle_2_NP.gif

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It was better than the second one, simply cause Rico was back! But it was kind of poor.

Lost Boys: The Tribe 7/10

Overall pretty good and still got the vibe the original had plus Corey Haim reprised his role for the film.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I'm waiting for the unrated / uncut version to come out before I watch that one. But nice to know its worth a watch.

Drillbit Taylor

I quite enjoyed it, it was exactly what I expected and a little bit more. Quite a few good laughs too.

7.5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hellboy 2 The Golden Army 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Batman Begins 11/10 Crikey. A very real hero.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Godfather. 6/10.
The Godfather II. 8/10.

Never seen more than a few minutes of either but had read the book years ago. Felt Diane Keaton let her part down in both films. Pacino and De Niro were both excellent. Minor gripes about certain scenes but otherwise impressed.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Dark Knight - 10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Journey to the Centre of the Earth 3D - 7/10 only getting a good score for the 3D elements of the film, otherwise it was not that good.

Dark Knight 10/10 - Almost the best film I think I have ever seen. Started of great and just got better and better. Ledger really did make the Joker scary!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yep - Jack Nicholson's version just pales (if you will excuse the pun) in comparison.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just got back from Dark Knight

Easily a 10/10 from me.

I don't know if Jonathan Ross was watching the same film as he slate it.

Could be film of the year.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I would say 12-10 for Dark Knight myself :) what an excellent movie

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Dark Knight

10/10. Best Batman movie ever. Best comic-book movie ever.


Great performances all round, especially from the late Heath Ledger.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Dark Knight. Predictable but good. 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

300: 7/10. Better than I was expecting.
The Da Vinci Code: 5/10 - watchable if you've not seen it before.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just watched Starship Troopers 3 : Marauder.

Which was better than the second one and had Jolene Blalock in it so can't be all bad :)

Although...



But....



So 5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Starship Troopers, they're still trying to make those? :) Everyone I know loved the first one and well... Most people either didn't even hear about the second one or watched it and wanted their money back :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Seen it before but ended up watching it today The longest day

without doubt the greatest war movie ever made it's epic At every level from the
cast ensembled to the way it's shot beautiful just Beautiful even the use of
beethoven's 5th used at just the right moments


10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I watched Wall-E tonight, I give it a 4/10, I was really looking forward to it as the adverts have been on for months which made it look really good but personally the adverts before the movie were more fun than the actual movie itself.

The Dark Night 10/10, the only thing is the sound went funny in the last 30 mins so I need to go back and watch it but still a 10/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I am Legend

8/10 Will Smith is awesome, even though the plot is not new ...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just saw:
You, Me & Dupree. 2/10. My friends said it was funny. I smiled once.
Varsity Blues. 5/10. Skip this, rather watch Friday Night Lights for a good sports movie.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The X-Files I Want to Believe. What a dreadful, dreary, depressing piece of ****! I'm so glad I didn't pay to go and see this utter rubbish. Not even fit for TV.

-20/10 (honest). :td::td::td::td::td:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Were you a fan of the series?


I loved the series, & have the lot on DVD, but I keep hearing really bad things about the new movie.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I liked the series, and this film doesn't come close to any of the episodes I watched.

You may think I went a little overboard with the bad score I gave it... But imho, it really was that bad.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The X-Files I Want to Believe
This was not really an X-Files related film

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The X Files: I Want To Believe

Full opinion in the specific thread.


IMO a lame & seriously disappointing return to the big screen for Mulder & Scully, which is more of a mediocre feature length episode (or perhaps mediocre TV movie) than a big-screen outing worthy of a seven pounds cinema ticket.

I rate it...

Lame, dull, disappointing, & mediocre / 10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Smokin' Aces - 7/10, fun (violent) film.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Batman/ The Dark Knight 10/10

go and watch it :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

WallE - I'd give it nearer a 6. I thought the whole Wall-E concept flawed as well if you needed to clean up earth why not send some Wall-A's down there.
Humans did not seem to learn from the mistake on earth and were busy dumping as much trash into space but where in space were they getting the resource to make such trash.
Cute and my 5yr old loved it. I was happy to enjoy it for what it was which was fun in most parts but as noted above I thought the plot had gaping holes in it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Die Hard 4, apart from Willis jumping on the fighter plane, I would have to say excellent film.... 9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Not great reviews of the x-files movie going round. A friend asked me to go but I decided not to ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Mutant Chronicles

3/10, extremely dissapointed, i had hope that it would be good with so many high profile actors in it but after 20 minutes i was ready to claw my own eyes out, exceedingly bad CGI, very poor acting, all the actors looked quite bored with their roles.

Journey to the centre of the earth (NOT the TV version of 2008, the other one)

6/10, quite enjoyable, bit tacky with cheap CGI though.

John Woos The Killer & Hard Boiled

10/10, classics!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Stargate: Continuum (2nd straight-to-DVD continuation of SG1)

8/10


Great stuff.


Note to Chris Carter - *this* is how you make a movie after your series has finished...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Oxford Murders - not as good as I expected.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Spirit of the Marathon
http://marathonmovie.com/
Excellent movie for anyone thinking of running a marathon, who has run a marathon or just does not get why people run marathons. That's all of you.
It follows 6 runners, 2 elite, one strong recreational runner, two first timers and a 65+yr old 4 marathon veteran through training to the Chicago Marathon.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Journey to the Centre of the Earth (latest version) 5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Die Hard 4.0 9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Dark Knight 9.5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Stop Loss 9/10
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop-loss_policy
for an explanation of the policy which is the title of the movie.
http://movies.nytimes.com/2008/03/28/movies/28stop.html
For a great review.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Which version? the 2008 TV Version or the 2008 Movie Version?

TV Version = 4/10, boring as hell.

Movie verison = 6/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Movie version (not with 3D specs).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

So much better in 3D btw..

The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. 7/10

Pretty enjoyable got a little silly in places.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

What's it like compared to no.1 & no.2?


I loved the first "Mummy" movie, & did quite enjoy the second.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Much better than the second (which i enjoyed, but was nowhere near as good as the first)

i would say 3 is on par with 1...and its got jet li in it, so what are you waiting for :D

---------- Post added at 21:59 ---------- Previous post was at 21:58 ----------

Agree on both counts :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Its pretty enjoyable. Some parts were a bit too silly even for the mummy but go see it. You will enjoy it if you liked the others.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Cool. That's one for the list then :)

Gotta go & see HellBoy 2 this month too.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Nim's Island

A film for the kids, although I enjoyed it too.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Finally got to see Dark Knight yesterday evening, bloody long movie but it was really great. Watch it in the cinema if you can!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Wanted, pretty good 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

BloodRayne - not quite as bad as I was expecting, though I could have done without finding out just how saggy Kristanna Loken really is, some women look better with their clothes on. :(

The extended flashback sequence at the end was both stupid & pointless.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

That's another Uwe Boll effort isn't it?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yeah, hence the low expectations. Having said that, I think it's the first time I've actually seen anything he's been involved with. I can't believe someone actually gave him the money to make not 1, but 2 sequels to it!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

District 13: 9/10. It lost 1 point for the subtitles being over the actual picture, instead of in the black bar at the bottom, which made them more difficult to see. That's probably the fault of the channel that showed it [FX], rather than the actual movie though.

If you want to see a really good action movie that isn't all Hollywood special effects, & you don't mind watching a foreign language movie with subtitles [unless you're fluent in French, which I'm not, though I do know enough to have spotted a few errors in the translation], then you should see this movie.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

atonement-beautifuly told story threads that manage to keeping through
the entire movie with out geting tired also wonderfully shot.the story telling is so good by the end that you ended up feeling sorry for the person who set the lie in Motion great stuff if only more movie where
like this one

11/10 :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Bank Job

5/10

Not too bad, could of been better.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I'm always amazed he gets money to make anything, but IIRC there's some sort of tax thing that helps.

[Googles]

Yup.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uwe_Boll#Financing

I bought that on DVD a while back & still haven't watched it.


--------------------------

The Lost Boys

8/10


Classic 80s comedy-horror vampire movie, with a great 80s soundtrack too.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hellboy 2 rather good but not the best film of the year imo

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

No good if you like you 'Mummy' movies to actually have a 'Mummy' in them :(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

well it does have a mummy but its stone covered rather than bandaged

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sorry but if it's not covered in mouldy bandages and mumbling some thing about being disturbed it dont count imo :)

Oh yes The Dark Night 9/10

Best film I have seen for ages :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/mummies/home.html see the early part no bandages there ;)

look at the natural mummies section http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mummy#Natural_mummies

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

All very interesting I am sure but I stand by the mouldy bandages and mumbling some thing about being disturbed if it hasn't got them in the movie, I am not interested :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Get Smart very good enjoyed it :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

saw Get Smart on wednesday. Really enjoyed it. 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Innerspace 7/10, not quite as good as i remember it but still watchable.

SPL (Kill Zone) 6/10, not donnie yens best performance, same for sammo but was enjoyable.

Flash Point 9/10, really enjoyed this, none stop action, great kung fu, couldnt wish for more!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I thought I'd heard somewhere that they'd put a stop to that.

It's definitely worth watching. Certainly 1 of the best action movies I've seen.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Atonement 7/10, then the last 10 minutes make 9/10 (imho)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hellboy 2 at the cinema last Friday - 9.5/10. Loved it. Love the first one as well.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

8/10, very good.

Better than the first, I think.


Funny to see del Toro use Luke Goss again.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Now I knew I recognised his face lol I did not know Nuada was him but I hate to say it he played the role well

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yeah, bit of a change in career from "Bros" to movie villain, lol.

He was previously in Blade 2, played Nomak. [and of course del Toro used Ron "Hellboy" Perlman in Blade 2 as well]


As you say, he was actually quite good.

Army of Darkness (R1 DVD, 81 min. US theatrical cut, studio imposed happy ending)

Groovy / 10



Need to get the 96 min. Director's Cut... hopefully that's what this month's upcoming Blu-ray Disc release will be.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Mist - 0 out of 10

Looked promising until it turned in to Christianity-bashing bilge.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I really enjoyed it, the ending was a lot better than the way the book ended.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Would they have had a radical Muslim in amongst them? I think not.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

hell boy 2 7/10
to many story threds to fit in to the movies all to short running time needs a good helf hour more to work but stylistically amazing


Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden 10/10
Morgan dose it again he's pick a issue and gets to the point both film maker and people watching go through a journey of discovery as he hunts for Osama Bin deeply moveing and blunt at times

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Black Mask (Jet Li)

5/10

Hilarious english dub killed it for me.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

That's 1 of the reasons why I usually prefer to watch foreign films with the original soundtrack & English subtiitles.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yeah, I almost always choose subs rather than dub.


Although for some films, bad dubbing does fit & make it more amusing.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

What does bug me is when there's an error in the subs that's so basic even I, with my extremely limited knowledge of foreign languages, can spot the mistakes. Even I know that "avec plaisir" means "with pleasure", not "be my guest" [District 13]. [/nerdy rant]

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Especially if it's a jackie chan movie!

It's dependant on the type of movie for me, slow romance/drama/horror/thriller movies i will watch with subs, same for comedy.

But for action, i do prefer dubs due to wanting to just turn my brain off and enjoy the movie!

For instance the english dubs on dragon dynasty releases are usually quite good.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Forgetting Sarah Marshall 8/10 funny Russel Brand is actually ok in this

Baby Mama 7/10 not as bad as you may expect

Mr woodcock 7/10 seen it all before but still funny

Don't mess with the Zohan 7/10 starts very silly but its quite funny

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hate him with a passion. Think I'll give this one a miss lol.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Pulp Fiction 10/10 Classic! :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Doomsday - 8/10

Daft, no plot and where else can you have mad max and robin hood in the same picture? ;)

There is also the game of spotting all the movie references in it ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Saw The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian today at our local odeon . They have a kids club on a Saturday pay for a child and an adult goes free. It cost £2.50 :) very good film enjoyed it more than I thought

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas

Hmm.

Depressing / 10


Top notch.

And I defy anyone to sit through the whole thing without shedding at least one tear.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I Didn't shed any tears...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Well, given the rather disgusting & anti-Semitic comments you made back in May, that does not surprise me one bit...


---------------------------


Getting back to the topic at hand...

Judge Dredd

As a Judge Dredd movie... :td:

But, trying to set aside the "Comic Book Guy" inside me, I do quite enjoy it purely as a cheesy SF action movie.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

What a lovely response :rolleyes:

Actually i just found the film boring, had nothing to do with my stance on relgion/jewish/whatever.

Ah judge dredd, now i wanna go watch it...dont understand why its got such a low rating on imdb, was quite a good movie imo.

Anyway.

Uncle Buck 8/10, another great from him, wish he was still around :(

Jumpin Jack Flash 5/10 Thought whoopi would be better in this, few lol moments but that's about it.

Perhaps Love (Mandarin)

10/10 Loved it.

Secret (Bu neng shuo de. mi mi) 8/10

Another great love story with a few good twists.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Day of the Dead (Based on George A Romero's Day of the Dead) 6/10

Not as good as the previous remake of Dawn of the Dead, was actually hoping it would be in the same style, but still a reasonable modernisation of a pretty naff zombie film (if I'm totally honest, I don't rate Ramero's films anyway, especially after Land of the Dead-boring which showed that while other zombie film makers had taken his ideas and successfully expanded them, Ramero just hadn't).
Starts off a bit pants, the zombies are pretty naff, but it picks up near the end, and there's one bit that made me laugh out loud when the slimy doctor in the base gets, oh shucks you'll have to see for yourself.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Fearless (Jet Li, english dub, unrated/uncut version)

Enjoyed it alot more than the theatrical release.

8/10, one of jet li's finest.

Iron Man

5/10, mediocore, too much of a family movie.

DeathRace

6/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I agree, as a movie it's quite enjoyable, but as for the Dredd part:
1. it's a key part of the character that he never, ever takes his helmet off &/or that you never get to see his whole face.

2. Dredd's suposed to be at least 6 foot tall; Stallone's only 5' 9".
---------------

Constantine :8/10. Quite enjoyable.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Terminator (Blu-ray Disc)

Terminator 2 - Director's Cut (HD DVD)


Awesome / 10


Two of my fave movies ever.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Righeous Kill excellent film Ne Niro and Pacino together again well worth a watch 8/10

Deathrace I really enjoyed this. Nothing like the original and I guess thats a good thing 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I'm quite keen on seeing both of those.



Casino Royale (Blu-ray Disc) -

Awesome. Daniel Craig is excellent as Bond, & Eva Green is stunningly gorgeous.

9/10

Can't wait for Quantum of Solace :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Taken

Pretty good revenge thriller, about a retired CIA guy out to rescue his daughter after she's kidnapped while on holiday in Paris.

Never thought I'd say this, but... Liam Neeson kicked ass.


7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Be kind, rewind - 8/10

I enjoyed this, despite it having Jack Black in it and the soppy feel-good ending.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Snatch

Not watched it for a few years but it was in HD so just had too.

8/10

Loved it!
