0/10?!

I think you're being overly generous! ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I am. I was so disappointed. It's the worst film I have seen for a very very very long time.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yup. It's awful, as is the first one.

I wish they'd done a movie adaptation of the *proper* AvP, i.e. based one on the Dark Horse Comics. That would have been so much better...

I love Aliens, Alien, & Predator, plus think that Alien 3 & Predator 2 are both pretty good.

Alien 4, however... crap.

And the AvP movies... even worse... :(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Alien 3 was my favourite Alien film , and Predator is one of my fave films of all time. I will have to check out the Dark Horse comics, I only thought they got the two together just for the big screen. I didn't realise there were comics too.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yeah. The "Aliens vs Predator" comics came first, & were much better than the awful movies.

There were also some "Aliens" comics, which were very good too. Would've made much better sequels than "Resurrection".

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

JCVD

Jean-Claude Van Damme plays... "Jean-Claude Van Damme", a has-been action movie star, who returns home to Brussels after a custody hearing in the US, & gets caught up in a post-office heist...

Well, well, well... Van Damme can act!

Great film, shows that JCVD can act & can also take the mickey out of himself. The film also has a few little digs at Seagal & John Woo, lol.

Worth watching :tu:

Loose Change - The Final Cut

My mate brought this DVD around the other day and only now got around to watching it. Most people have seen the original low budget version which was shot to peices for being very inaccurate and having too much conjecture. So Dylan Avery went away, did more research and brought out an updated version. Which was also full of inaccuracies and conjecture.

(Russ now starts to sound like the guy who built a castle on the swamp in the Holy Grail)

But the third version of the film had a much higher budget and concentrates on facts and reliable witness accounts.

I'm no conspiracy buff and I still think 9/11 was a terrorist attack but after watching Loose Change The Final Cut I'm convinced the american government knows more than it's telling.

8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Underworld rise of the lycans minus 25 out of 10 absolutely dire and makes the previous 2 movies look like they were oscar material, Bill Nighy should know better than to be involved with such rubbish.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

La Femme Nikita

7/10

Remember watching this a few years ago with the english dub, finally getting to watch it on bluray and in its original language was much better, plenty of action.

Opium And The Kung Fu Master

4/10

Really not a shaw brothers fan at all, was nice to see an old skull martial arts movie on bluray though, really nice PQ too.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yeah, I liked Underworld 1 & 2, but RotL was ultimately rather pointless IMO.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Cloverfield..... I thought this was pretty good. 8 out of 10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Did you spot the object in the background falling in to the sea in the last few frames?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I heard about this but I just can't see it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I thought it was the director having a dump considering how bad Cloverfield was:D and I saw it in a cinema.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Valkyrie 4/10.. it was terrible. Not even a poor attempt at a German accent, Tom Truise being Tom Cruise. hi, I'm tom cruise the nazi now wheres my f-14 tomcat and iceman?
Stauffenberg was much better.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

none of them had accents that was how they did it. WHat you linked to was just a documentary. Would you not also complain if they had german accents but spoke English ? like they did that ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It takes a few goes to spot it but once you do you see it each time, it hits the water a few 'millimeters' below the horizon and comes from an almost vertical drop.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I think they should have used 'Allo 'Allo style accents, to be properly authentic.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The movie started in German and then phased into English I found it quite adequate and really enjoyed the movie :) . I would certainly have rather seen Daniel Craig in Defiance speak as himself than his epic fail of keeping an accent but that did not spoil the film for me and found that excellent

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Which would mean we are all entitled to our opinion and though mine differs from yours I'll resist the temptation to retort. Each to their own as is said. :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

didnt it end with them under the bridge? And it all went dark?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Am i the only one who felt physically sick watching that?

Soo many fast/blurry camera movements.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Nooo! A few moments after that it cut back to the video the recorded over of the 2 of them six weeks earlier on a giant wheel in a fairground. The camera points out to sea for a few seconds and you see something hit the water.

This suggests that the monster was an alien and that's when it came to Earth.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

That was meant to be a falling satellite, not the monster.

---------- Post added at 22:12 ---------- Previous post was at 22:10 ----------

Hang on...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloverfield

Satellite crashes > disturbs deep sea monster. Something like that...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yep, I spoke to my wife last night, she had spent a while during the day on the net investigating the object. The opinion she got too was that it was the satellite hitting the sea, and causing the monster to wake up.

She also mentioned directions the prequel/sequel will take. One theme would be events leading to the crashing of the satellite, another the attack from the viewpoint of the army, and how they battled it.

Gran Turino - 8/10

CF's resident anti-immigrant gang really need to see this film...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watchmen - loved it - 9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ditto.

Awesome - especially Rorschach.

9/10 from me too.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Loved it too though I would go as far as 10/10.

Rorschach was amazing though I thought he looked pants in all of the trailers I have seen leading upto the movie.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Same here although I am edging towards a 9.5/10

Can't wait for the extended edition Blu-Ray release which will be about 3.5 hours with extra footage and the Tales of the Black Freighter added in.

Then it will be a perfect 10.

Also Malin Akerman :romance:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

9.5 out of 10.

When the extended edition comes, out 11/10 probably.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

"...I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me!"

---------

The Extended Edition should be even better :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

My sis in law and her husband went to see watchmen in the waterloo imax and said it was rubbish. I have yet to see it but everything i've read so far says its a very good film. It's interesting how people can see the same movie in a totally different light.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

If people are expecting a simplistic blockbuster (which I enjoy), they are (imho) going to be disappointed - it is a complex, often confusing film (cleared up at the end), with no simple black/white good/bad guys, no easy "they all lived happily ever after", going much further than ethical shadings in the latest Batman film.

I loved it, much as I loved the graphic novel.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

24 Hour Party People - 9/10

Awesome film. I love the way they mixed in cameos with the storylines of the people they were playing. A brilliant reminder of the whole Madchester days, we'll never see another musical era like it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

the director of watchmen has been one of my favs since the dawn of dead remake ...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

just watched FarCry the movie. Its a B movie so do not expect miricles but tbh it wasnt to bad at all 6/10 because I knew it wasnt gonna be an epic but it surprised me a little

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Role Models 8/10 funny but not what I throught it was about

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Unborn 2/10 - utter crap.

If you haven't seen it, it might creep into a 5/10 - but I saw the trailer and 95% of what is good in the film is in the trailer.

Bunch of Woody Allen stuff.....

Vicky Christina Barcelona - 7/10 - pretty good, dunno why.

Interiors - 8/10 - ending is a bit depressing.

Scoop - 9/10 - Loved it.

And........

The Duchess - 8/10 - I kinda like this type of thing.

Hulk - 8/10 - MILES better than that other thing they made.

Friday 13th - 0/10 - Lord above, why? This is why downloading SHOULD be legal, DO NOT waste a penny on it, it is terrible, I managed 40mins and stopped it, utter crap! If you like yer women to be "You Know" Air Heads your blokes to be techno geeks and your token black guy to have a GIGANTIC racist chip on his shoulder, this IS the film for you.

btw original Friday 13th is a 9/10 (BIG Horror Fan)

re: Rate the last movie you saw

Don't mess with Liam Neeson, awesome fight scenes...loved it. 9/10 :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People
8/10 - some good laughs and a went to a few places I didn't expect the storyline to follow..Also nice to see some old stars in it..

Watchmen
9/10 - Just let down by one or two poorish characters....as people say though Jackie Earle Haley's character was the star of the show...

Bolt
7/10 - Pity all three supporting characters (Penny Mittens and especially Rhino) were in a different league to a very dissapointing Bolt

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Kymmy did you catch Bolt in 3d?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Quarantine 7/10 Scared my wife in a few scenes, just another zombie'esque film with some reasonable special effects. Worth watching if you got a spare 90mins to fill.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Nope, and yes I agree it would have made the special effects better, but still wouldn;t have changed the main character..

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Fargo

9/10. Great stuff.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

First Blood - In my opinion Stallone's best film. 9 out of 10 for me.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watchmen - 5/10 I actually fell asleep part way through this, for me it was a letdown.


Gran Torino - 9/10 Very surprising film

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans - 7/10 Enjoyed it, but kinda knew the ending.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Have you saw the original? It's in Spanish and I think it's better than the American version. It may be a scene for scene remake, but REC is a lot better than Quarantine.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Wrestler - 9/10.

Very accurate depiction of the business, not too happy with it giving away how shows are put together but still a very good film and very realistic.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Meaning of Life (Old I know but I've never seen it before).

Um. All I can say is...

Female Agents 8/10 A true story of French women SOE members in WWII

The 51st state - 9/10

Eagle Eye - 7/10. Very much like Enemy of the State.

Gran torino - 9/10
Pity it's probably the last great Clint Eastwood film he'll make

Valkyrie - 9/10
About time they made a historical film that actually followed the original plot ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

i watched twilight last night and im gonna give it a 10/10 its just amazing! i also watch the boy with the striped pajamas ill give that 9/10 such a sad film

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

are you female????

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People - 7/10

Pretty standard 'quirky/nerdy Brit in America' stuff.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I'll agree with Boy in the striped pajamas being a great film but Twilight was terrible!!

Even my female friend that watched it with me thought it was boring and rather rubbish would only give it 1/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

W. 5/10

Poor and disappointing. It never went anywhere and just seemed to be a rambling historical biography, no pace, no point, no decent conclusion.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Knowing. Thought it was really good.
If you liked the day the earth stood still you`ll like this.
It`s a bit of a modern day bible story i suppose. 8/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Knowing. 8/10 It would have got a 10 - just that there are some aspects within the film that are not explained.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Damned United 8/10

Fairly good football film; possibly the best ever football film

Knowing 7/10

Not too bad a movie; very dramatic with big set pieces. Certainly agree that it has similarities with the remade Day the Earth Stood Still and the 1950s version of The War of the Worlds

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Trouble I had with that is that nobody has seen "Lords Of Dogtown" his Joker is just Skip mixed with Nicholsons Joker. Don't get me wrong, I liked the film, and he is good in it, but the fact he died sealed the deal with that film. Great film, I will buy it, still overated though.

The Cotton Club, I liked it, flawed I guess and not exactly historically accurate, but got a lot going for it, looks and sounds amazing. Oh, and Diane Lane is basically perfect. 7/10

Stoned, had it ages, not watched it in a while. Again, not sure how accurate it is, absolutely love it. 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Damned United - 6/10

Bit of a disappointment as it didn't really go anywhere. I'd have preferred it if they'd done a biopic on Clough's life, not just over a 5 year period.

Saying that though, yet again Sheen was excellent.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

5 years? I thought it was over 2 months?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

About 3 quarters of it was based on his 44 days at Leeds but it kept going back to his time at Derby in 1969 to explain his hatred of Don Revie.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

American Hardcore - 9/10 Really liked this documentary about the 80's hardcore punk scene, it gave a great insight into some of my favourite bands.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Knowing: 4/10. More holes than a swiss cheese.

It starts out promising enough. The premise is that a little girl in the 1950s wrote out a string of apparently random numbers for a school art project, then in the present day the paper comes into the possession of an MIT professor (Nicholas Cage) who deduces that the numbers were actually a prediction of 'every major disaster' from then until now. But there's a twist - the last three predictions in the string are in the immediate future. So Cage sets out to see if he can affect their outcomes.

Up to that point, it's really good. The tension builds nicely and there's a plane crash that deserves an award for use of CGI. Mind you that's balanced out by a pretty ropey train wreck about 20 minutes later.

Unfortunately the plot really goes off the rails, as a gang of mysterious blokes who look like they styled themselves after an albino Danish boy band start showing up and hassling Cage's young son. Then shiny black stones start appearing all over the place. Then, half an hour from the end, the screenwriter completely throws the towel in as the story turns into a bizarre homage to Close Encounters of the Third Kind (except not nearly so well done).

Ultimately the film's conclusion is very dissatisfying not because that mysterious page of numbers isn't fully explained, but because the conclusion renders them completely irrelevant. It's almost like two entirely different stories glued together. A real pity.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Stepbrothers: Love watching a mindless type of comedy film now and then and this is def one of those.

7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Quantum of Solace - 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

No Country for Old Men -gold star

Very good movie it's kept simple through out with the story that gose a long at a nice pace with Out the need to go all silly in the last half hour. just to fit in a ending to the film that would have Ruined the whole thing
The end to my mind is one of the best i've seen in a long time.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

FarCry 3\10 expected much more from Uwe Boll.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Why? From what I have read he hasn't made a good film yet.. I will state that I have never seen one, so can't comment on whether I would have liked them.

Anyhow: Watched Knowing with Nicholas Cage tonight. The good points are that it has a good (if predictable) storyline, is fairly well written, has good special effects, and Rose Byrne (as ever) looks pretty and acts well.

For most of it, the film is a fairly good combination of a thriller, disaster movie and horror. It does get a little schmaltzy toward the end though.

One thing that surprised me: Nicholas Cage is normally a good actor, but although he plays this part well, his character is a little to close to being the cliched hollywood single father who is still dealing with the grief caused by the death of his wife. In other word, he played the part well, but the part is a carbon copy of any one of a number of hollywood characters, including some played by Cage himself.

6/10. It would probably be an 8 if Cage's character hadn't reminded me of several characters from other films.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Monsters Vs Aliens 3D - Its not the best dreamworks animated movie I have seen by a long way in terms of humour, shrek, over the hedge etc are a lot funnier but it was still very funny and the 3D was amazing, would have to give it about 8/10 for the 3D version though I think in 2D it would be a little less special so would only get about 6/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

National Treasure - 9/10, really liked this film, its kind of like an adult Jumanji :D - can't believe it was released in 2004 and I've only just seen it

Quantum of Solace - 6/10, hmm this was ok but not enough gadgets for me. Also, i was quite suprised to see Bond only bed one girl in the whole film :dozey:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Monsters Vs Aliens - 7/10 Great film although not as funny as I thought and in 3D it was really good.

The Boat that Rocked - 8/10 another great British movie, with an amazing soundtrack thanks to the 1960's :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Wanted - 7/10

Alot of over the top bits but a great action film.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Would a 4 and a half year old girl appreciate monsters versus aliens? Thinking of taking the little one to see this over the weekend in 3d.

Finally saw REC yesterday (spanish subtitled film) - Not seen Quarantine so can't compare the 2, but I did think REC was a very good film until the very end. Although not really sure how they could have ended it.

I'll give it 8 out of 10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I think she would
Me and Bethia went yesterday and it was very good. Do you think she will handle wearing the glasses?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The glasses are my main concern, but we have been to the British Science museum and seen some of their 3d offerings in their cinema, in glasses which she's been ok with.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

X-Men Origins Wolverine. 10/10 action packed and had a nice twist or two in the story.

Errm I managed to get a free copy with a linux ISO I downloaded :erm:
Don't know how that happend but *shrugs* :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

That was pretty much my view too...


Also seen:

Get Smart - Not overly funny, but still enjoyable nonsense.

Eagle Eye - Ridiculous, but good fun if you just sit back & enjoy the ride.

Burn After Reading - Very good, & nice to see the Coen Brothers do black comedy again after the rather more serious No Country For Old Men.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ocean's 12

Very good. Nice touch with Julia Roberts playing Tess playing Julia Roberts, lol.

I still prefer the first one though (the original remake, not the original original... not seen that one sadly).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Eagle eye

Fast moving action thriller, very enjoyable. 8/10 :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw

I laughed out loud all the way through - my favourite line was from James Gandolfini as an US Army General "Only people who haven't been to war want to go there; if you've been there before, you only go there again if you have to - a bit like France"

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

20 years before Pirates of the Caribbean, there was...

Savage Islands


Classic swashbuckling action-adventure starring Tommy Lee Jones.

8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Classic cheesy sword & sorcery from 1980:

Hawk the Slayer

John Terry, Jack Palance, Bernard Bresslaw, William Morgan Sheppard, Patricia Quinn, Annette Crosbie, Roy Kinnear...

Awesome stuff, with some crap-yet-great dialogue & effects.



And, 'cos of the new Riddick game...

Pitch Black

X-Men Origins:Wolverine - 9/10.

Much darker and grittier than the X-men films (imho) - v. enjoyable.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Warrior King - 5/10, good fight scenes

Rocknrolla - 6/10 - not much happens, but in an enjoyably Guy Ritchie way.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

X-Men Origins:Wolverine - 9/10.

Very good and will look so much better on the big screen than on your TV.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

You'll get finished FX on the big screen too ;)


Predator

10/10 for a classic Arnie action movie. Awesome stuff.

Some great quotes too...

"Get to da chopper!"

"Stick around."

"If it bleeds, we can kill it."

"I ain't got time to bleed."

etc.



LA Confidential

10/10

Quite simply, a masterpiece. A true modern classic.

I still feel it was ridiculous that it lost out at the Oscars to Titanic.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

To get the full visual impact you need to be in a cinema or have a massive home cinema screen.;)
