Movies The Movie Thread! - Continuation

[Hystzen]

Sooo, seen the first pictures of the Spiderman re-boot The Amazing Spider-Man? Anyone wanna bet they're gonna go the way of darker-styled, less goofy comic book movies that Christopher Nolan has opened up with his Batman movies?

Spoiler

Many people are saying it's stupid to have a reboot so soon after the last trilogy ended, but I'm not a big fan of Sam Raimi's Spiderman movies so I do have my hopes up for this one. The pictures look pretty cool if you ask me (well, cool for being Spider-Man...)

i dont see what the whole moaning over the suit about..i like it.. i didnt mind first film but rest where awful.

what people thoughts on new trailers.

Captain America http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND3UN0359Es
Transformers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOCkhicK4FU&feature=channel (man that new chick looks ugly to me)

I have given up on Transformers. Getting rid of Megan Fox was the right thing, but alas... too late. There's no way they can save it with this third movie. And they still have Shia LaBitch, so..

Captain America looks more interesting. I just feel there's so damn many superhero movies coming out at the same time, it will be overshadowed by other ones. Captain America was never anywhere near my personal favorite Marvel character, so I don't know what to think yet. The teaser didn't really tease me enough to be THAT interested.

I didn't like Transformers 2 either. I definitely enjoyed the first one, but they just creamed it in the second. The only scenes worth watching were Optimus Prime rolling in the forest fighting his ass off, and bumblebee finally getting it together and kicking ass in the desert. Those two scenes when combined didn't even make at least five minutes. And the entire movie was some 3 hours long.

 

[Hystzen]

They had diffferent script writers for number 2..i mean alot did make sense..bumblebee is your guardian why not take it with you or whine when it follows you ..the twins just trying to be funny but failing..2 was mess

aparantly it got the orginal writers from 1 again ..heck even the whole team have apologised for the 2nd film.

3rd could be good or bad who knows see more at moment im slight peaked in intrest.

 

[Truefan21]

I didn't think Transformers 2 was that bad. Sure it wasn't as good as the first, I guess it was made for the sake of making a sequel. As for Spiderman Reboot we'll see what happens.

 

[baboysai]

I just watched the Green Hornet. MEH.

 

[Zeltrax]

Green Hornet was that bad?

Anyway, as a fan of Spidey and with the mindset that his the greatest marvel hero..I'll be looking forward to the reboot.
But then..
blue fingers? I don't really like..blue fingers.

I'm a really huge Spidey fan, BUT I won't go for reboot to cinema - I will wait probably for dvd release or sth. The reason is: even though I'm a big fan of Spidey, seeing "reboot" of fairly new set of movies <come on, the 1st installment of Spidey by Raimi was in 2002?!> is for me sth.. man, I don't want to bash. So even though I wanted a new director, maybe even a new actor for Spidey in the next movie, I didn't want a reboot of a series.

That just don't mean I'm saying that film will be bad - hopefully the reboot will be really good ^^

The Oscars is coming so soon? I didn't even notice.

I heard 127 hours was a good movie. I haven't read any reviews from you guys.

 

[juUnior]

This time I'll pass on picking.. <I picked on pl board > but I have a question <maybe someone here will know such stuff>: is there some online streaming <live> of the Oscars ceremony? I would like to watch it on live <here in PL it will be 2/3 am xD>

Just watched Dances with Wolves, a 1990 movie that won 7 oscars including best picture.

I thought it was a very entertaining movie. Everything was so subtle, I thought. So subdued and cute. Something i didn't expect. I thought it was going to have a lot of violence and stuff, because of the first few scenes but it was really nothing.

I heard 127 hours was a good movie. I haven't read any reviews from you guys.

It is indeed really good. I don't want to give too much away, since I watched it without knowing anything about it (except it was nominated for a few Oscars), and I really do think knowing too much about the story might take away from the watching experience.

I'll say this though: James Franco is my pick for Best Actor. Perhaps because I like him since earlier and that he's somewhat of an underdog (Colin Firth is almost a lock for this category), but he really does do a great job carrying the whole movie by himself. His performance alone makes the movie worth watching, but the movie as a whole is brilliant as well.

Organizized, big THX!

baboysai, heh, its a beautiful movie for me. If I recall correctly I gave it 10 out of 10, the movie is masterpiece. And its looong xd Kevin Costner at his best <1 year later and Robin Hood Prince of thiefs >

 

[Hystzen]

strange i have had no interest in this years Oscar films watched Black Swan not Darren Aronofsky best film (Requiem for Dream is imo) ..rest meh..could be because im shocked how ignored at Oscars Inception was really...i start to think Christopher Nolan will get ignored no matter what film he does Prestige, Inception and Memento show how brilliant he is .

 

[benelori]

Did anyone see Buried? For me it was one of the best movies that I've seen for a while now...for those who didn't see it, please do, and those who did...do you think you would've gotten out in those cicumstances?

 

[Paper]

Sucker Punch is manure coated with candy sprinkles, glitter, and sparklers, meaning it's got all the eye-candy you could ever want from an action movie, but close to no substance at all. The story was bland, draggy, and predictable; I actually felt like I was watching a really long episode of some TV show as opposed to watching a feature film. This is something I would only recommend for people looking for pure eye-candy and no substance.

7/10 (1 point for each of the girls, except Vanessa Hudgens, and three points for CGI/VFX)

 

[baboysai]

I rewatched Stardust for the nth time. It's really one of my favorite movies (and books, by Neil Gaiman).

I really wondered why it never got much attention. It won some "Most overlooked movie of the year" award, and I totally agree. Maybe not much hype? or the fans of Gaiman were too much of a niche market?

 

[blai]

Did anyone see Buried? For me it was one of the best movies that I've seen for a while now...for those who didn't see it, please do, and those who did...do you think you would've gotten out in those cicumstances?

I haven't. I'm afraid I'd either get claustrophobic or get some kinda nightmare if I do watch it. It seems like a superb, yet horrifying movie. Must see it sometime though! :3
