Ya--- I really want to read all those stories... do you know of any place where one can read the stories as what happened in the comic x-men without having to hunt down all the comics? I really want to get read about x-men and how the story progressed and how it is now and all that. My favorite arc of x-men was the apocolypse arc. I love cable and bishop and wolverine and his wicked girlfriend :p.(gotta dig them asians :p) But I only remember this stuff really because I watched the cartoon for quite a while :). (is it different from the manga series...much?)

The cartoon is pretty different in that they tried to change the stories to make them less chronologically confusing, but they did keep most of the story intact. There's a lot more details and subplots in the comic series though. And I think there are places to download them, but I'd have to ask a friend about it.

sorry for the off topic post... on topic, the spiderman movies have been good, just nothing Spectacular... I mean I liked them, but I'm not dieing to see it like I am xmen 3 :)

I love both franchises. I thought Spider-Man was excellent, the first movie. And I thought X-Men was amazing given that Bryan Singer and his crew only had a very limited time to work on it. X-Men 2 took the franchise to another level. Just an incredible movie, with an amazing cast and so many good things going for it.

Spider-Man 2 I was not as crazy about except for Dr. Octopus - they made him a cooler character than in the comics! But I didn't care much for all the inner turmoil Peter had to go thru - it made for good humor in the beginning, but it dragged on a little too much. But it had a great climax. The conclusion could have been somewhat better.

Carnage and Venom are all cool... But who is sandman???

He's an old Spider-Man villian - one of the first of his rogue gallery.

i'm not really a fan of marvel comics but I read them for pleasure when I've got nothing to read. Sometimes it's cool, also the movie rocks even if I'm not a big fan

Marvel comics used to be better - which is a shame because with all the attention the movies bring to their trademark characters, they should have done a better job of finding all the best writers and artists and having them get to work on great stories.

But Marvel's rival, DC, managed to sign most if not all of the writers and artists. That was a shrewd business move on their part.

So right now, DC Comics are having better stories than Marvel in my opinion. Oh well.

In the meanwhile I'll stick to reading manga and watching the movies :amuse

DC... Like batman, superman wonder woman, flash, green lantern... or simply... THE JUSTICE LEAGUE????

Gold Knight

December 14, 2005, 11:33 PM

Yes, that's DC :amuse

Heck, it's even rolling into movies too. Bryan Singer jumped from X-Men to do a new Superman movie, too.

Yeah. Superman Returns.

Here's the first look at the new Superman:

Gold Knight

December 15, 2005, 12:12 AM

Yeah, he's a new guy. But so was Christopher Reeve when he first landed the role for the old Superman movies.

His name's Brandon Routh.

Singer's Superman Returns Presentation!
Source: Tim of LUZER November 19, 2005

Scooper 'Tim of LUZER' was present at last night's Bryan Singer lecture for "Princeton Library's Christopher Reeve Lecture Series" where he, joined by executive producer Chris Lee, showed the Comic-Con footage and spoke in great depth about Superman Returns (among other topics), with Chris Reeve's mom also in attendance. Here are some of the highlights from the evening:

* When a gentleman asked if the goofy aspect that he loved about the old Superman flicks would be in Returns, Bryan answered that he is trying to steer clear of "goofy" but it is definitely the most romantic and humorous film he has done to date.

* There is no truth to the rumor that there is a clause in Brandon Routh's contract to do a Superman/Batman crossover flick, only a standard Warner Brothers multi-picture deal. Although I was later told that even though it most likely will never be seen in the movie, the set was so detailed that the Daily Planet newspapers were all filled with stories, including a "Bat Creature" being spotted in Metropolis with a picture of a shadowy Batman jumping off of a building with Jimmy Olsen photo credits. Very cool. Bryan also mentioned that the only time he ever considered a Batman/Superman movie was when Wolfgang Peterson was attached, and just thought how he would do it. "Who would be the bad guy? It'd have to be Batman. But he can't be that bad...he's Batman!" He said tonight was the first time he had thought about it since then.

* As confirmed already Noel Neill (The Adventures Of Superman's Lois Lane and Lois Lane's mother in Donner's '78 film) will be making a cameo, which Bryan described as a important one, in addition to Jack Larson's cameo featured on Bryan's Video Journal #25 and in the Comic-Con footage.

* When asked about Kevin Spacey's portrayal of Lex Luthor (whether he was a scientist, billionaire, etc.), Bryan said that Lex is "fresh out of jail" and that his history with Superman and/or Clark doesn't tread one way or another over the groundwork left by Smallville. Only that the two characters have some kind of history as we join them in the movie.

* Bryan agreed with someone in the audience that the biggest change to the Superman mythos he made was giving Lois a kid with James Marsden's character (not a raised S logo). He thought this was something that you've never seen Superman deal with before that his version brought to the table. You've seen Superman save every disaster, but how would he deal with this? The world has moved on a bit, but it seems Lois has completely moved on.

* To keep Clark's disappearance under wraps, Martha Kent sent postcards to Lois during his Daily Planet hiatus. In the Comic-Con footage Martha asks Clark "What about that nice girl you used to talk about? The one you had me send post cards to?" or something to that effect.

* There's roughly 1,400 effects shots to be completed to the movie, and although obviously an expensive movie, the budget has been exaggerated a bit on the net, and is still roughly under 200 million.

* The opening credits will feature John Williams classic Superman march, with a new score by editor/composer John Ottman integrating old and new themes. I believe I also caught a mention that the opening credits will feature some of Superman: The Movie.

* There's a huge plane action scene, briefly seen in the Comic-Con footage, that may run 20-25 minutes and is going to be BREATHTAKING and UNBELIEVABLE.

* A huge amount of time and effort went into fighting gravity so there wouldn't be any "droop-age" when Superman flies, including clever camera maneuvers and several green covered men puppeteering the cape at any given time.

* Superman being able to breathe in space (and underwater) is addressed in the movie, and yes he has to breathe in Bryan's Super-World. He is "too logical" in his thinking to let these things fall under the suspension of disbelief category.

* The raised S under the suit is addressed, as is the costume's origin in some way.

* The sets are incredibly detailed, down to the stack of business cards on Perry White's desk, and some of the props have already gone on sale at the prop department for cheap as heck. (Someone has already snagged Lex Luthor's smoking jacket for twenty bucks.)

Oh yeah, DC also makes The Titans comics and helps produce the TV show 'Teen Titans'. On the cartoon, they recently introdcued the Doom Patrol team, if ya know who they are. :D

Well it doesn't have the be the comics itself, just a story/ area with information in just text would be nice enough :D. I just love all the information about these characters and the stories behind them.

Yep, as played as Kevin Spacey.

I'm more looking forward to X3 and Spider-Man 3, though. And I'm going to see Narnia soon.

There's also a Ghost Rider movie I'm hoping will be good.

Watched Narnia and 7 Blades.

Narnia: Haven't read the books yet, though the story leaves much to be desired in the character development area, with everybody having strong bonds with just about everybody else when they have exchanged merely two lines that we've seen. On the other hand the world looks and feels so real that you never question the existence of the mighty minotaur general or the majestic Gryffons, rather let yourself be immersed in the magical lands of Narnia.

7 Blades: A fantasy story that looks like an anime gone humanized! Then again, that's what chinese action fantasy movies are these days! Extreme haircuts, downright weird looking swords and other weapons, a somewhat illogical scenario that to me only serves as an excuse for continuous slashing. Any anime fan who likes fighting scenes has to watch this one. Important notice though, as with most Chinese action fantasy movies do not watch if you cannot stand the cheese names of the characters and sword (something along the lines of "Sword of the Grumpy Dragon Waking at the Break of Dawn Showering Enemies with 1000 Years of Dog Breath")

Martin

January 10, 2006, 06:21 AM

Didnt really like Narnia.. Ruined the 'magic land' I read about when I was a kid..
Hard to explain why, its just something about the kids I think :P

Leen

January 10, 2006, 06:39 AM

Wow, am I the only one watching old movies? I have just finished watching "My Fair Lady".

My Fair Lady

Starring : Audrey Hepburn :love

rating : 9.5/10

This is superb classic mussical movie which won quite a few academy awards for it's superioty. It is about a girl who cant speak English well and so she went to a professor and asked him to teach her. After 6 months, she is to test her English in the emperal ball where kings and queens are also present and language experts are there to detect imposters. It's a nice movie overall with singing and acting all together in one movie.

I loved it. We watched it in school since we were reading the book 'Pygmalion' in Englsih class. I lovd the songs and the story. ^_^ //DZ

Martin

January 10, 2006, 06:42 AM

Nice, and no I tend to enjoy some good classics from time to time :P
Everything with ol' Clint Eastwood i can watch for hours :P

As for movies, 'The Godfather' gotta be #1..
The 'old' "Im the boss you do as I say" Is just priceless..

Gold Knight

January 10, 2006, 07:14 AM

My favorite classics are usually epics - Ben-Hur, Lawrence of Arabia, The Ten Commandments.

I'm an epic kind of guy, which explains why the Lord of the Rings are my favorite movies. ;)

Martin

January 10, 2006, 09:07 AM

hahaha ben-hur :P there you got urself a 4-hour classic movie. its a great movie.
Allso 'Spartacus', wich follows the story when Spartacus led the rebellion armies of the slaves against Rome.

Gold Knight

January 10, 2006, 09:24 AM

Spartacus' another good movie, but I still like Ben-Hur and Ten Commandments better. ;)

My favorite comedy movie of all time is Young Frankenstein, incidentally. If you haven't seen this hilarious movie do yourself a favor and rent it as soon as possible.

Martin

January 10, 2006, 09:31 AM

I will. heard alot about it, but never had the 'time' to do it..
havent seen ten commandments either... sounds like i need to get a hold of that one too?

Gold Knight

January 11, 2006, 04:20 AM

It's very well done - captures the whole story pretty well. For an old movie, the special effects were amazing. So yeah, I recommend it if only to experience it at least once. Even if you're an atheist, you'll still probably appreciate all the work the producers, director, actors, and SFX people put into it.

It's long, though.

January 11, 2006, 04:50 AM

I have just watched another older film. It is called 'Rope'. It is another film by the genius of Albert Hitchock. The staory is about 2 young and smart college students who murdered a good friend of them using a rope to strangle him. Then, they put the body inside a chest and organized a party. Table cloth and food were put on the chest so that people wont try to open that chest. Of course, one of the person who attended the party knew something and finally, he managed to discover the truth of the chest and the rope. The police came and................THE END.

I also happened to watch G.I. Jane too just a few hours ago. When I watched until 1.43.00, the whole DVD jammed and even until now, I still cant continue the story. If anyone can give me a link to download the movie online using any channel (direct, torrent, p2p..etc...) please tell me. I like to know the ending of this movie.

Anax

January 11, 2006, 04:56 AM

*Feels bad for not having watched any of these classics, not even Godfather...*

Umm, I wouldn't know about Narnia, there was little to no character development I give you that, but I'll know better when i read the books.

As for old movies, I watched one black and white and with no sound (that old) called "Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari"/"The Cabinet of Doctor Calligari". In my opinion it's a very nice movie with very interesting plot twists and an ending you'll either love or hate :tem

EDIT/ As far as Alfred Hitchcock goes, I've only watched "The Birds" which was a marvellous thriller :tem

January 13, 2006, 11:58 PM

January 27, 2006, 08:04 PM

I was actually mighty impressed with the latest Harry Potter film. I'm not a fan of the books or the films, but this one was quality. Well worth seeing.

Speaking of The Godfather, I've just finished watching the trilogy again and it's still as good as ever. I just love Coppola's attention to deail and how he mangaes to capture the actor's being very natural. If you haven't seen it, make it your job to see this weekend! It's definitely something that has to be seen.

Also, the latest adaption of Oliver Twist (Roman Polenski) is amazingly good. Gritty, dirty, violent. Fantastic stuff.

Movies I can't wait to see!! :nuts

X Men 3
Yeah, I'm looking forward to see Logan and Ororo work together. XD And Jean. Heck, I saw the trailer and the Brotherhoods have multiplied and all...

Spiderman 3
I heard Venom was in it!!! :nuts

Pirates of the Carribean 2
Johhny Depp's in it!! :love

Oh, and I've jsut recently watched Howl's moving Castle. Amazing, I say.

It's so magical and natural at the same time. Miyazaki was able to put in little elements that people usually do. Like that scene where they were eating breakfast.

You notice how Sophie went for the yolk first. XD Alot of people love the yolk and tend to eat that up first. I myself, leave that for the last, since I leave the best for the last. >_> The movie felt real to me in a magical way, and that's why I loved it.

I also love Disney films. Old ones, of course. And I tend to watch movies whcih stars Johnny Depp, or is directed by Tim Burton too ^_^

Raine_Joybringer

January 31, 2006, 10:01 AM

Oh, and I've jsut recently watched Howl's moving Castle. Amazing, I say.

I agree with you :D I recently watched Howl's Moving Castle as well when I went on a field trip with the local anime club. We were able to get a local theatre to specially screen it just for us. One of my most favourite Studio Ghibli films now. My Neighbour Totoro will always stay on top though... ^_^; It's just so cute.

Gold Knight

January 31, 2006, 11:19 PM

I need to watch that movie sometimes.

Also can't wait for Pirates of the Caribbean 2 here either.

KaiserRyuujin

February 01, 2006, 03:33 AM

Spiderman 3
I heard Venom was in it!!! :nuts

As far as I know Venom wont be making any kind of an appearance and the enemies one for sure is "Sandman" as I already saw the picture of the actor all in the garbs. I was hearing its gonna be also Hobbgoblin, and as reported of the whole thing with Harry Osbourne that from interviews that its something we all wont expect, I guess. *shrugs* Eh, internet rumors, who knows, Raimi could have something insane up his sleeve just have to wait and see it.

I am too looking forward to Spidey 3 been enjoying the hell out the first two and the third Im sure will be quite the shine to the series.

And thats about it, eh. Some those other movies just havent really tweaked my interest maybe a bit of X-Men 3, but eh not fully sure.

I am pretty sure thats the plans for it, I havent even seen Eddie Brock listed in the cast of characters as of yet leaving him out severely. Trust me, I want Venom too along with Carnage would be wicked cool, buuut Im not sure if we'll get them. Who knows what Raimi has planned for the third instalment as a whole. We may get a glimpse at something. But I just dont want Spider-Man turning into another Batman where you start getting all these different people to play Bruce Wayne/Batman and mess up the whole set of movies. :/ But again we shall see where this goes.

February 01, 2006, 06:24 PM

Err.... Venom is confirmed, along with Sandman.
Kirsten Dense blurted it out at a press conference some time ago, Thomas Hayden Church will play Sandman (pic) (http://spiderman.sonypictures.com/bugle/press_releases/images/img_tchurch.jpg), and Topher Grace (Erik from That 70's Show) is going to play Venom.

Seriously? Huh, but then that could just been publicity press type stuff too. But it'll be sweet if it is so that Venom will be jumpin into things.

*ponders* Hmm actually as I think more on it yeah. Because I remember how there was talk of being absolutely nothing of Doc Oc ever being in the movies and yet bam there he was.

That pic you have is the same I saw too.

Dragonzair

February 01, 2006, 06:52 PM

WHAAAAAAAAATT??!!?

NANI! Topher Grace is too hot to play Venom. >_> *cough*

But wouldn't it be cooler if Mysterio is there?! Damn. That guy is way cooler than Venom.

Gold Knight

February 01, 2006, 08:22 PM

OMG, DZ, we think alike. I've been wanting Mysterio to appear in the Spidey movie for the longest time. I've said it at all the superhero movie forums =D

I don't really expect alot out of x-3. it looks like it's just going to be a bunch of high powered mutant attacks combined with insane special effects to show huge explosions and psycho fighting. the only thing i really want to see is jean grey go phoenix and like annihilate things. shadowcat has a boring power and so does angel, but beast should be an interesting addition. though nightcrawler's the cooler blue fur guy.

Though the best movie in the world is kill bill.

P.S.: Your VG cats rule as always :thumbs :amuse

Interesting, I'll check that out. Thanks, Calibur.

After you do, do you mind writting something about how you related to the main character sharing a main characteristic? I bet you'd be the best at understanding that part of him (though the movie could be structured so as for us hearing people to understand him, which would complicate things to no end (I wonder if it'd work too). Still, I'm curious (like cats are) :tem

Anyway, back on topic. While on holidays in Leonidion I got some dozens of movies from my dad (movies found in newspapers and the such). Among them was "Good Will Hunting" which I thought to be an entirely different movie, still got positively surprised :amuse
It's about a very smart young man, Will Hunting, who's actually a math wiz and probably has Shikamaru level IQ. Will, has had a rough childhood, he is an orphan who has had a number of foster famillies, though he didn't root in anyone of them. The movie is about Will and how he evolves from a smart ass slug to a gracious genius butterfly. Or something a lot less poetic, still full of greatness! This movie will be my top favorite for a long while :tem Some of the most noteworthy parts for me are Will's meetings with his psychiatrist, Sean, and the way they affect each other :amuse

Haha he did do a good job playing jack sparrow. That's the only character i've seen him play that i actually liked. Like when he did willy wonka. good lord i refused to watched that movie because he looked like he was trying to be a child molestor and molest charlie in the back of his factory.

The movie is banned in China coz of the many problems it could cause..remember the Japanese occupation of China a couple of decades ago? By using 2 famous Chinese actresses in a Japanese-themed movie is sorta like inviting trouble..

I haven't watched the movie yet but I can tell you this: The Chinese goverment is all about control. They want to control the flow of information and prevent their people from coming to contact with foreign culture and "dangerous" ideas and ideals. Kind of like the ancient Spartans who didn't want their people to see the outside world in fear that they'd turn their back to that militaristic monster ancient Sparta was.

As for DZ, well, I didn't read "Fustle" at first, rather "Fu Hustle"... I guess it's true, the brain work in a way that you can read a piece of text even when the words are scrambled.

Ultraviolet [out March 3rd for US, not sure of other locations]

plot summary : Set in the 21st century. a subculture of humans called Hemophages has emerged who have been genetically modified, giving them enhanced speed, incredible stamina and acute intelligence. To the governments's dismay, more and more of the population are being transformed, and they have set out to rid the world of this new subculture that they deem menaces to society. One rogue warrior is bent on protecting her race - and seeking revenge on those who changed her life forever. With fierce fighting skills and chameleon-like abilities, Violet (Milla Jovovich) sets out to destroy a governments-designed time bomb that will eliminate all Hemophages. To Violet's surprise, the deadly device is a nine-year-old boy, who was raised in a laboratory and goes by the name Six (Cameron Bright). [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0370032/]

the director of this movie is the director of Equilibrium and if you seen Equilibrium and liked it; you will love Ultraviolet. [ i know i will love it ]

(info obtained from idols-unlimited.com) [more at this link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475723/ ]

im surprise this hasnt been discussion yet [i even used the search tool] but here is what i think of the movie.

BAH! i give this movie a C-. fight scene too short and seems rush. but apparently, it is based on the anime : Basilisk : or something like that. its Naruto meets Live Action Naruto. lol. still cool though.

*edited* GK: heh. doesnt hurt to dl eh. ^_^

With Pierce Brosnan stop becoming James Bond, he had been associated to that role along with Jude Law and other actors. I dont think he will get that job though. Maybe he is just good as an elf.

Orlando Bloom is supposedly playing a young James Bond in some sort of side project. Daniel Craig (http://imdb.com/name/nm0185819/) is the new Bond.

February 25, 2006, 09:41 PM

I cannot accept that guy as the new James Bond. Bleh.

Hmm...I'd be surprised if they released anything under 'young James Bond' any time soon, since the Alex Rider movie Stormbreaker is about to hit this summer and he's virtually a young James Bond (and very entertaining he is too).

I've heard that they might merge the two books, Prince Caspian and Down Treader, in the movie, jsut like the old classics.

Down Treader was my favourite book, and I'd hope it to be really really...true to the book?! XD

Any guesses on who Prince Caspian would be? *considering you've read most/all of the books?

Well I guess I could recommend a few movies..
Since we're all Japan-freaks (I assume that) If you haven't seen Akira Kurosawa's movies, go rent/buy them now.
The first Kurosawa movie I have to recommend is Yojimbo, read about it here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055630/
The second is Seven Samurai or if I'm not mistaken Shichi-nin no samurai. Read about it here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047478/

Another really good movie is Hotel Rwanda, you can read about it here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395169/

I'll try to recommend some other great movies later..

But hotel rwanda is great [as a movie, that is], i'm not a sensitive type, but that movie got me like... silent for a few hours... it's really tense and depressing at the same time... The one thing CKV ( something like Culture+Art ) -classes did that i am actually glad for, is get me to see that one on the big screen...

I have just seen a most brilliant documentary. It's called Dogtown and Z-Boys. It's about skateboarding.

Now, I am by no means into skateboarding. Never been interested in the thing. But I saw, by chance, this documentary about the birth of modern skateboarding, as told by one of the originals and by God, is it something everyone ought to watch.

It has (pretty much by accident) several layers of meaning. It can be viewed as a simple tribute to skateboarding, or as a darn accurate commentary of the human condition. It's like a microcosm of society - and that is both celebratory and cautionary. People rise to the challenge, make something of themelselves. As well, people are losers and live really lame, loser lives.

I highly recommend this dvd. Even if you're not into skateboading, you'll appreciate the historical relevance and the vibrant characters. It's like Kishimoto on speed.

Scene is with Angel struggling.

Angel: I cant do this.

Scene shifts back to Logan talking.

mercycubed

March 08, 2006, 01:23 AM

This is for you GK!! ;)
From Fox Searchlight Pictures website, http://www2.foxsearchlight.com/nwnd/

For as long as humanity has existed, there have been "Others" among us; Witches, Vampires and Shape-Shifters who are soldiers in the eternal war between Light and Dark.

Light Others protect mankind from Dark Others, who plague and torture humans.

Over 1000-years ago a truce was struck between Gesser, Lord of the Light, and Zavulon, General of Darkness. They agreed that no one could be forced to good or evil, people must choose freely for themselves. To uphold this truce, each side established underground forces; the soldiers of the Light would be called Night Watch, making sure Dark Others obeyed the truce. And the soldiers of Darkness would be called Day Watch, to do the same.

Ancient prophecy foretells that one day the Great One will arrive who can end the threat of an apocalyptic battle between Light and Dark Others. That day has come, and the Great One, once he or she is identified, must choose whether to destroy the light within or battle the surrounding darkness. This choice will reveal mankind's destiny.

1992:
Anton Gordesky, a broken-hearted man, desperate to win back his fiancée, seeks out the black magic services of a witch. This Dark Other, about to use her magic for evil, is arrested by the Night Watch moments before for completing her spell. The cataclysmic event awakens Anton to discover that he is an Other. Now he must choose whether to become a protector of light or warrior of darkness.

Today:
Somewhere on the streets of Moscow the "Great One" wanders, oblivious to his or her powers. Anton, along with his Night Watch team, race to find and protect the Great One from Zavulon and his Day Watch vampires who seek to plunge the world into darkness. Whoever reaches the Great One first will hold the balance of power in their hands and control the fate of humanity.

NIGHT WATCH (NOCHNOI DOZOR) is the first installment of a trilogy based on the best-selling Russian sci-fi novels of Sergei Lukyanenko (which also includes Day Watch and Dusk Watch). This visionary horror fantasy film features a dazzling mix of mind-blowing effects, adrenaline-fuelled action and suspenseful terror.

NIGHT WATCH (NOCHNOI DOZOR) was an instant smash hit in its native Russia when it was released in July 2004 shattering all previous box office records. Made for a mere $4 million, the film surpassed both LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING and SPIDER-MAN 2 at the Russian box office. Internationally acclaimed, it was also Russia's contender for the 2004 foreign language Oscar® award.

My hopes for X-Men did increase with that trailer, but I'm still scared about the director change.

Still, it'll be good to see the ol' Canucklehead in action again. Wonder if Hugh Jackman will use Wolverine's famous line, ""I'm the best there is at what I do and what I do best isn't very nice" at some point in this one.

I don't know. I'm not at all bothered with the change anymore...I'll just keep my hopes low for a moment unitl the movie comes out. Which is hard since I'm too excited about it. XD

I'm just happy there are mroe Storm scenes in this one. I want to see developments in her character since there wasn't much in the last two movies. Heck, the last two had only Wolvy-history-scenes. *which is not bad, really :love*

All in all, I know I'm definitely watching it in the big screen. >_> I rarely do that. I wish I saw Howl's Moving Castle and Corpse Bride at the cinemas. I jsut got them off the net. >_<

i just saw Akasun's thread about movies, and yes its one of the worlds best pass time activities but everything has its pros and cons. as the subject title suggest i just wanted to know the WORST FILMS YOU HAVE EVER SEEN???
it can be OLD and NEW and if possible give a quick point (please nothing very long) why you would place that movie here.

i guess i'll start

1. Street fighter the movie..... reasons are to obvious, if not, then i dont know what to say about that

2. scoopy doo the movie.... if ur over 9years of age then it would best for you to jump over a bridge rather then watch this. poor acting, terrible plot less narrtive, and those are the good points!!!

3. mortal kombat 2..... reasons: its a sequel (Sequels are known to being crap in comparison to the original, not always tho), worst acting possible, generally nothing special as it was like a repeat of the 1st, but the icing on the cake came from the ending.

(these are old films, so i hope you guys will provide a nice balance of old and new)

although i can explain in great detail why i didnt like each one i want to keep this short and simple...please keep it short and sweet

i look forward to seeing you WORST FILMS EVER :amuse

The story wasn't what was bothering me (it was pretty much a direct adaption of the comic book), but the horrible writing and acting. :(

personally i found the hole daredevil film to be far to cheesy in almost everyway(acting is top of that list), and i used to enjoy the comics, 2nd worse adaption ever, 1st being street fighter the movie obviously

Bram Stoker's Way of the Vampire :loool

A... "movie" based on a short story by Bram Stoker, featuring the worst cast ever, with mediocre acting skills featured ONLY by the main character. I bet if the people of this forum met in some place we could try to make a short movie out of some Naruto chapters and it'd be worth an Oscar compared to this! :eyeroll

Churchil: The Hollywood Years

Supposedly mimicking "The Aeroplane" or Leslie Nielsen's insane comedies, this one falls flat on its behind trying to do so. I'll also add that I fell asleep watching the movie, something that happens as often as an eclipse :eyeroll

i'll be honest with you ryder, apart from american cyborg i havent even heard of the others let alone seen them. anyreasons why you say what you say?

btw nothing can make street fighter the movie look like a oscar winner, just impossible

Gold Knight

March 23, 2006, 04:34 AM

Heh, haven't heard of these ones either, but they do sound like bad B-movies to me too.

As for Daredevil, I actually liked it, it was pretty faithful to the original story and I thought it was pretty entertaining. But oh well, that's just me I guess. I rank Hulk as more of a stinker.

Pretty good movie, dl'ed the dvdrip off limewire.

abdulahi

March 23, 2006, 08:22 PM

i must agree with you goldknight, that hulk was a lot more of a stinker then daredevil, but honestly i dont know how u could have liked that film, esp. after ben's acting, major cheesyness there.

did any1 else notice in hulk, the sfx of the big lovable green monster quality decreases as the film goes on. if u didnt notice, at the beginning hulk looks nice as, but then look at when is running from the fighter planes, at some points we can see through him, and as the film goes on from there it gets worse and worse.

on the notion of marval, i personally aint a fan of most marvel adapted films.
xman i didnt like very much due to how the characters are all weak ones in comparison to comic, but i just hated more then anything those cheesy 1 liners.
elektra actually put me to sleep
fantasic four was a bore
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was action filled but there was so much wrong with it.
The Punisher didnt even do so well in cinema for obvious reasons, didnt like it myself, although the game is wicked.
spiderman wasnt so bad but could have been better.

in future i think we will see more being joined to this list, as there more marvels in production. such as sorry to say, but a daredevil 2 is in production along with iron man, doctor strange, captain america, deathlok, the sub-mariner, luke cage, and werewolf by night.

however on a positive side, marvel have made a great film, i.e. Blade. but this thread is about worset films.
can you guys think of anymore really terriable films, the more popular and mainstream the better

p.s. my partner told me to add naruto :narsengan to this list. :kislide i was left speechless

Hermie

March 23, 2006, 08:45 PM

Dunno what you are talking about, Punisher was the greatest comedy I saw that year. :D

Gold Knight

March 23, 2006, 09:07 PM

Well, bear in mind I'm a little luckier than most because I am deaf - so "bad acting" is something I don't notice most of the time. I thought Ben Affleck looked like a superhero, and he moved around well enough that he was a believable Daredevil visually.

So that being said, I also still have to actually enjoy watching the characters and the story, and I didn't in Hulk.

As for the other Marvel films, so far I think Blade, Spider-Man and X-Men movies are definitely good films. I'll agree that all of them do have some flaws, but that usually comes from lack of budget or time sometimes (ie. X-Men or Fantastic Four) or pressure to meet up to fans' standards. But I wouldn't call any of them "worst movies in the world," except maybe Hulk.

I also happen to think DC's Batman Begins movie was one of the best comic book adaptations so far.

By the way, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen isn't a Marvel film.

abdulahi

March 24, 2006, 02:39 AM

dont get me wrong, i aint placing, such films as xmen, spiderman, punisher, fantastic4 in this thread to say they are worst movie etc etc, but i added them here mainly as a sub-topic to say that after all the hype they got i was somewhat disappointed at the end product. but never the less watchable. apologies for not making that clear first time round.

but in my opinion such films as daredevil, hulk and elektra do belong in this thread. [br]Posted at: 24-03-2006, 00:27:48_________________________________________________list of so far Worst Movies Ever by the MH puplic

Move Hulk up to ummm say 5. I hated the movie. I mean the hulk is about destroying things and they tried to make it into a drama almost. Blah is all I can say for it. But I do have to add that I liked the daredevil movie...and the directors cut did make it better in my opinion.

Just remembered a bad one...Driven I did not like that one. Bad acting and dumb story = bad movie.

Out of that list, I've seen Street Fighter the Movie, Scooby Doo, and Spawn (well, a bit of it). Thank goodness I stayed away from Dungeons & Dragons, Daredevil, The Hulk, and Elektra. I thought they'll suck. I'm definitely not planning to see Ultra Violet (it's still showing in theatres in my country. I'm surprised to see Memoirs of a Geisha there. I haven't seen the movie but I like the novel a lot.

I've seen several bad movies though I'm not really a movie-watching sort of person; I've missed a lot of the more recent releases. One really bad movie that I remember is Batman and Robin. In my opinion, it's the worst out of the 4 Batman movies (thank goodness Batman Begins was much, MUCH better) and I'm not even a Batman aficionado to begin with. It's too corny, especially with Arrhnowld around. Doom (starring The Rock) is another stinker I've seen in recent history. I can't believe I allowed my younger brother to drag me to watch that pile of filth. I know it was supposed to be a homage to the game but couldn't the director leave out the 1st person sequence around the latter part of the movie? The movie was mostly shot in the 3rd person view then after the hero regains his consciousness due to events in the cliched plot, it's 1st person now?!

There are definitely others that I could add but that's it for now. I'm also sure that there are others that are as bad or worse than the ones already listed that I am thankful to NOT have seen. As a final note, does anyone else notice that a lot of bad films are adaptations?

"There's this movie, during the last scene:

The hero has only one bullet left in his gun, but still have two enemies left...
guess what? He took out his jungle knife and place it in front of the barrel...
and voila... the bullet splits into two...both of his enemies were killed.
Yaay! The hero saves the day! The End! :p

BTW: Most Film Critics judged Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) as the worst movie of all time! Directed by Edward D. Wood Jr.
Although, most film enthusiasts do study this film.

Well, mine includes: Superman 4, Batman 3 & 4, Spawn, Star Wars Prequels (they could have done more: in terms of acting and plot)

About Memoirs of a Geisha:
There are a number of reasons why I dislike that movie.
Most of the actors have a terrible accent, it's a real pain listening to that. The movie is full of cliches: sometimes you get the impression that at every corner in Japan there's a folk-dance group (which was certainly not the case). The Westerners (Americans in this case) are portrayed as primitive idiots drinking and f***ing all the time. The whole Geisha trade is portrayed incorrectly to a certain extent. First they tell us that Geishas are not prostitutes (correct) and the next moment the main character's virginity is sold to the highest bidder. The movie is full of cheesy dialogues and stupid-onliners. No wonder the Japanese complained that their whole culture is portrayed incorrectly. Ironically the Chinese actors playing the lead roles in the movie were attacked by their own people for acting as Japanese *g*
In the end it's just another "poor but beautiful girl turns into a hooker" story. :D

Sorry for the rant. Please feel free to disagree with me :)

Awww you should not appoligze for ranting. I like to read stuff like that, it gives the me a better idea of what the actual culture that it was trying to portray thought about it.

Also I guess that after reading your reasons I could see why someone would not like it. But I know that personally I do not have any grasp of the Japanese language or some of the more intricate customs that I could have compared the movie to. I think that was why I was able to enjoy it a lot more. :amuse

Matt Vaughn dropped off a long time ago. Brett Ratner is the new director. The movie is gonna be amazing. Danger Room. Sentinals. Juggernaut!

I dont think we'll see Venom in Spidey 3, but most likely Eddie Brock being foiled by Black Costume Spider-Man then Spidey losaing the Black Costume at the end of the movie followed by a cliffhanger where venom makes an appearance before the end credits role. Hopefully Topher Grace is play Kletus Cassidy (Carnage) instead of Eddie Brock. That would be cooler!

March 29, 2006, 08:31 PM

I hope Venom appear at least one time... It will be very cool. Venom is one of the most important villans in he series, so an appereance of he will be eally big stuff. For my opinion, if he doesn't appear in the Third, he'll be definately in the Fourth.

That's what I thought, thanks TheBolivianGuy. Seemed like it would be out of the norm for them to have two major villians be in the spotlight in the same movie since they haven't done that before.

I guess Sam Raimi's planning to be on board for a fourth Spider-Man film then?

I wouldn't mind a cast change that much, actually. I knew it was inevitable. Anyway, look at all the different Supermen and Batmans there's been, didn't hurt the story itself. It might take some using but who knows, the next Spider-Man cast might be even better.

Yeah, Eddie Brock's a workout freak. But it might be that they wanted to make it seem even more dramatic when he makes the transformation.

But if you want to see a Eddie Brock lookalike, google Howie Long sometimes. He would have been perfect XD

I didn't like it. It's the typical pseudo-philosophical trash-talk like in the matrix-movies and I always had the impression that there's always a raised index-finger trying to tell you what is right and wrong. Very much in your face, that is.
Blowing up the parliament is pretty stupid idea to fight a dictatorship.
I can understand why Alan Moore (the author of the comic) doesn't want to have anything to do with that movie.

The special effects are of course top-notch and there are quite a few scenes that look awesome. They should have left out the last matrix-like martial-arts fight though. Looks totally stupid in that film.

The only really good thing about that movie is Natalie Portman. I think she looks awesome with short hair. :D

Gold Knight

April 02, 2006, 12:12 AM

Alan Moore never wants anything to do with movies based on his work, though. It's like he's saying "you guys will suck, I wash my hands of it." No support whatsoever right from the set-go.

He's kind of anti-social to begin with ( though he definitely is one of the best comic book writers of all time )

of eight people in that lifepod. and then one of them gets murdered. and then another. and then you get to know
that the exploding ship was sabotaged. and then another one dies. and then you get to know that the blind guy isnt blind and he is the murderer........................... worst movie ever? yeah im pretty sure it is.

2. Titanic - I'm sure a lot of ppl would disagree but if u've had to bear with a Titanic fan for a fren (thankfully a different fren fron No.1 above) and after having to hear the sound track and the phrase "You jump I jump" over and over and over again for far too many times, u'll understand why I've voted for this movie. :p

i thought the movie sucked not for the reasons you gave, but because it totally ruined and misrepresented the actual story i.e. the book. It is true that the book was written by an american male, but he did have a japanese woman who was once a geisha read it and help him with the areas that he got wrong. If you didn't hate it all that much i suggest reading the book. soooo much better, and it lacked the "American movie makers banking off Japanese culture which they don't get" thing. I'm no expert on Japanese culture either, but had no problem at all with the book. I actually thought it was very good to read. The movie pissed me off though.

underworld is that film about the female half vampire who kills her kind and wolfs right. if so i wouldnt say is that bad of a movie. actually i thought it was quite an ok film to watch. and the sequal was terrible but never the less not a bad film, its just normal hollywood junk, meaning nice at present but nothing you are likely to remember.

new film to this ''HOUSE OF AMERICA'' its a welsh film so doubt most people would know about it. but boring to the absolute max

yeah, but dude...it was about vampires and werewolves...and they USED FRIGGIN GUNS MORE THAN THEY DRANK BLOOD AND BIT PEOPLE! not to mention, that guy was supposed to be this ultimate hybred and he didn't even get a good fight. They spent the whole ending on that lame chick...i don't even want to think about all the ways that movie upset me...lol *smacks forehead*

[color=green][font=tahoma]I don't remember my previous worst movies but I still remember some of them: Spawn (Damn, my friend watches that movie EVERY MORNING before school for the whole year in that big fat lazer disc), Mortal Kombat 2, Street Fighter, The Matrix Revolutions (that was just so pathetic and sucky, in has instantly turned into a DBZ fight scene).

About Daredevil, I think it's pretty cool (especially the DC). The character was played very well and I really thought he was the DD himself. Elektra was kinda annoying and bad (she has this 6th sense and looked powerful in that movie, but meaningless in DD).

@Okyatoks, How can that be a bad movie, that's very interesting, putting a jungle knife to split bullets WOOOO!!! Don't try that at home kids!

I tried my best to watch all planet of the apes (classic) but I nearly fell asleep in all of them. Narnia was also good (the old and new). I have some movies I would've rated worst but I still find interesting such as those of "Freddy got fingered" to "American Pie series" and other comedies based on sex is just getting too old! I prefer those "nosebleed" guys instead, they're a lot more funny and they're being used in chinese movies as well!

Oh......My.......F-ing......God..............
it takes a lot for me to turn off a movie. cause who knows, maybe the ending
saves it all. but this was just pure crap straight through.
to late for me, and the ending, what a ending.

you guys think i should add a quick poll to this topic?

and as always a next film to the list from dula, Mario, the movie. (this brings me to a point i was just thinking off, why are movies based from games generally crap???)

Silent hill was actually not too bad concidering the plot sucked really bad...they did a good job making it look like the game though...except i havent played the first game...

oh dude, i had managed to block that movie from my memory but now it all came screaming back to me..
hell yeah that one sucks!
why they're often crap? my guess because they always change the story. they only use the title from the game
and then they make up all the other crap. if they could for once stick to the original story from the game then the movie should be just as good... am i wrong?

i didnt think that was that bad of a film, actually i hated the american version, but then again i was not keen on the jap version either, maybe because i dont really like horror films.

how would that work? theres a lot of crappy movies out there, could be a lot of options on that poll.
basically to keep it simple, i'll would list the films that were stated the most so far and those most people agreed with, e.g. i would add such films like street fighter, but i wouldnt add Memoirs of a Geisha. but you are right, there are many options to this poll.

thats why i asked should i create a poll now???

thanx for that link boffenjl, i film i must mention from there is captain america, i cant believe i forgot about that film.

to ALL i have created a quick poll of the films so far stated by you guys and gals, to keep it simple i made it of the films you agreed with, and did not include films only stated once and those most people havent heard of e.g. House of America, Bram Stoker's Way of the Vampire, American Cyborg etc etc.
Also for the sake of peace i did not include daredevil and Memoirs of a Geisha for obvious reasons.

SO please VOTE

please post anything we wish to say about the poll, good or bad, and if need be edited etc.
plus continue to post any more worst films you can think off :leepose

the old hulk wasnt that bad of a film, it was more a product of its time.
in a ealier post i stated why i hated hulk and i believe somepeople agreed with me. (just to note it was not my vote that went to hulk, so i believe someone didnt like that film to much)

worst comedy this year, Family stone (the romantic comedy film with the lady from sex in the city in it)

also
Police Academy 2-7 but for me its more 5-7, i didnt think 1-4 were that bad.

Son of the Mask was quite a bad comedy

and the last bad comedy i've come across was Big Momma's House 2, two ok jokes in two hours.

i believe it's because of the book publicity and all those controversial..
the movie is really disappointing in comparison to the book...
but.. it was alright.. not really that disappointing to me coz i read the book almost 2 years ago..
kinda forgot the stuffs...
there's this indian guy sitting beside me..
and during one scene *see spoiler* he clenched his fist in front of his mouth and he almost shouted..
"o my god..o my god..THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVAH MAN!! o my goood!!"
and for the rest of the movie.. he was pretty much over-excited...

the scene where Remi was poisoned by someone.. he died.. then the camera turned to the killer who is actually Leigh Teabing.. the guy freaked out when he saw that the actual bad guy is Leigh...

Have you guys ever seen The Pledge? Jack Nicholson starred in it...
it was a "supposed to be" a memorable movie for me.. coz i watched it with my 1st girlfriend on my 1st date ever...
that is one worst of the worst movie... worst plot, boring to the end, worst ending...

Jack nicholson is a retiring detective..
but his last case.. a girl was murdered after given a porcupine-shaped cake by someone..
then he made a pledge to his parents to catch him no matter what..
but he retired..
then he met an abused lady and her kid..
the abused lady ran away from her husband..
he then take her away..
they had sex (old people sex alert!)
and one day the kid receive the porcupine-shaped cake..
so he thought of setting the kid as a bait..
he called backups..all the forces.. to ambush the killer..
but he didn't let the mother knew about it..
so on the day..one of the police accidentally let it slip to the mother..
she was angry to jack for letting it happen.. and he took the kid away..
the police is still waiting if the killer would come...
but after several hours of waiting, he didn't come..
so the cops all go back home.. and said that they shouldn't trust the old man anymore..
then when they go home, there's a scene where nearby there's a car accident..
The killer was actually killed in that accident.. but nobody knows about that..
so jack nicholson..everybody left him, not being able to catch the killer etc..
he turned crazy...
