Here's a Disney film I watched not too long ago...



I am satisfied with my care.
 

Big Hero 6 - Blahalalalala

Do you have anything better to say in this thread?
 

I don't know. Have you bothered to look at literally any of my other posts in here? 

 

I'm just a bit surprised to see someone give a bad movie an 8.5.

"Bad movie" in your opinion, not everyone shares your views, get over it and yourself

 

I also liked the movie in question

Am really not a fan of the 10 pt system, as I only give a 5 to most of the worst films; prefer a four or five star review personally. Rather like Leonard Maltin's review books; have a four pt system plus a BOMB rating for real stinkers, and have been using them since the '70's for amusement. Some of the reviews are amusing:

"Leonard Maltin reviewed the film (ie; The Brood) in two sentences: "{Samantha) Eggar eats her own afterbirth while midget clones beat grandparents and lovely young schoolteachers to death with mallets. It's a big, wide, wonderful world we live in!" and rated it an outright "BOMB".

I was in complete agreement....

Directed by Sophie Fiennes, The Pervert's Guide to Ideology (a sequel to The Pervert's Guide to Cinema) is a sort of documentary in which Czech philosopher Slavoj Zizek uses cinema to give us his own distinctively Freudian spin on the Marxist concept of "ideology" (traditionally, the cluster of ideas and concepts used by the ruling class to rationalize and reinscribe existing power structures; for Marx, politics, morality, culture and religion all fall under the rubric of ideology). During the course of the film, Fiennes frequently makes Zizek appear to be standing in the sets of the films he is talking about.

I'm not terribly familiar with a whole lot of continental philosophers, and will probably never understand their continuing interest with Freud and psychoanalysis. Still, Slavoj Zizek has been one of, if not the trendient public intellectual out there for some time, and his musings on film and its relationship to ideology remain engaging throughout. Zizek threads his overall argument with bits from films like Taxi Driver, Brazil, Triumph of the Will, Jaws, The Searchers, etc. It's a film that's definitely for a certain kind of hipster; if you don't like to spend time in coffee shops chatting about postcolonial theory or historical materialism, then you should probably stay away. I don't have the background necessary to grasp about half of what Zizek is talking about, and what I do understand, I don't always agree with, but even so, I found myself liking the film quite a bit.

I kinda agree with 20% of Zizek (pronounced like Zhizhek) ideas, but it's just a 20%!

I saw my brother watching it. Its animation/graphics is magnificent, probably not as good as HtTyD2. But the story and characters looked meh.

But a bad movie gets a 4/10! Like Superman 3.

(more like 3/10 if it was really bad, 2/10 for very bad movies, 1/10 if a thing or two was done right, but the rest are trash, 0/10 for pure garbage with everything awful)

I actually enjoyed the humor in Superman 3; would give it at least an avg rating. Sorry.

For a true stinker, try Supergirl or Red Sonja; a couple of the worst movies EVER, IMO.

Calm down. Nobody insulted your family by claiming that The Wolverine was a bad movie.

 

I always love how people are quick to point out "it's just an opinion!" and that everybody has one, but when I express mine, you and other people like you tell me "get over it and yourself". Might want to check that double standard.

Just based on this description of the movie, it sounds like the greatest thing to ever exist.

 

Personally, whenever I review something, I use my own 9 point scale (I don't bother with a 10 point because 10 is a perfect rating, and nothing is perfect). But then when I give something a 5, they think I hate it, when I make it clear that 5 for me is an average score, not a negative one.

My preffered measurement systems are either the 100 point scale (theres more leeway), the Jack the Ripper scale (x dead prostitutes), or da thumbs

I've never understood the 100 point. What's the difference between a 75 and a 76?

[metatheurgist]

I'm not a fan of the points system because everyone likes different things. Slapping a number on it suggests there's some kind of universal standard. I think it's more helpful to simply say whether you like the film or not and to describe why. That way the reader can decide for themselves whether (for example) "{Samantha) Eggar eats her own afterbirth while midget clones beat grandparents and lovely young schoolteachers to death with mallets" is the best thing ever or the something they'd never see.

At the good ol' Gamespot I could rate games 7.75 or 7.5. Now it's the simplified version 7-8-9/10, which is crappy. Because when you consider these so many factors there is much difference between 7.75 and 7.

Fast & Furious 5 and 6. Gonna go see Fast 7 in theaters next weekend.

Another fave is this one; another BOMB: "The Navy vs. the Night Monsters" is a B film that film historian and critic Leonard Maltin aptly described this way: "1} Look at the title. 2) Examine the cast. 3) Be aware that the plot involves omnivorous trees. 4) Don't say you weren't warned.



And completed Harry Potter 7 this evening. The first part was more enjoyable than the second, but overall a satisfactory conclusion to the series. My personal favorite was Neville, though I wanted him to use Alchemy and plant lore as his methodology for his heroics. Pt 1 - 8/10; Pt 2 - 7/10.

These are the worst superhero flims of all-time IMHO, it's a toss-up as to which is less awful: Wolverine: Origins, Superman Returns, & Superman 4: the Quest for Peace

 

 

Spoiler

I rank these as worse than Batman & Robin because I loved the first two Reeves/Donner Superman films. It was so awful to see that character torn to shreds, esp by Bryan Singer 

[The Devlish Redhead]

I love Interstellar but I couldn't help myself...

 

 

 

I made this.
