I watched some of it on TV few years ago and it looked interesting. Not much visual effects though.

and yea Winter Soldier had some of the best fights I've seen. Slightly flashy, without overly offending physics, and really visceral and natural looking. Even the laugh out loud super flying kicks looked believable. The action and the Sad Peggy scene were the only real highlights for me, but boy were they good.
 

 

I actually like to offend physics. That's why I love Thor 2! lol

Ok, some thing have been said by me here that I didn't think through well enough, and I finally just want to say everything I really want to say.

I don't hate Nolans Batman films. I find them overrated and I like Mask of the Phantasm more, but I don't hate them. In fact, I love them.

So here's my statement. Take it as you will.

Spoiler

I guess when you get down too it, my problems with The Dark Knight Trilogy. Is how popular they really became. I give Heath Ledgers death as a prime reason. Since if you all recall Batman Begins didn't do that well. It did well enough to warrant The Dark Knights creation. But it wasn't a mega-hit if I remember 10 years ago right (Because I remember 3rd grade so well). It was good. I won't deny that, but wasn't good financially enough to surpass Charlie and The Chocolate Factory at the 2005 Box Office (I want it perfectly clear, I hate that Tim Burton crapfest more than anything. Besides, War of the Worlds, which is also a terrible movie, made more than Peter Jacksons King Kong...I don't get people sometimes...)

 

Now let's get to Heath. Heath Ledger was a great actor. Very underrated, as he was only really known for A Knights Tale. But there was other stuff like 10 Things I hate about you (The only good adaptation of Shakespeares worst play), Lords of Dogtown, and hell, he even did a good job in Brothers Grimm. I think Brokeback Mountain is ultimately what soured his career. Because people suck, and a movie about gay cowboys is apparently oh, just so terriblah blah blah. When Heath died, it made his exceptional performance stand out all the more. Since this was really the last time you were going to see him (Aside from that one movie I don't remember the name and right now I'm too lazy to look it up. Add that to The Joker and Two Face being more recognizable villains than ScareCrow and Ra's Al Ghul, and you got yourself a Billion dollar hit.

 

Ultimately, my problems with the trilogy is how over-sensationalized it those films are now. I can only speak personally, but how people act like it completely changed how films were made like the LOTR trilogy. They have, but more as a boot to the ass for people to reboot everything, and for Marvel to kick it into high gear. Because when other films tried to be Nolany, they failed. The worst parts of Man of Steel was when it was trying to be like a Nolan film. When it was allowed to be a Superman film, for the brief scenes they were, it was good.

 

So if I'm not overly fond of the editing, the fight scenes, or the legacy (lol get it?). What do I like? I like the bats flying out of the wall in the pit as Bruce prepares to make the jump, I liked Cillian Murphey as Scarecrow (Before he became an extended cameo in The Dark Knight, and a normal cameo in Rises), I liked Liam Neeson teaching Bruce to mind his surroundings, I adore the line "Why do we fall? So we have the courage to pick ourselves back up.", I liked the ending 10 minutes of the Dark Knight, I liked Alfred giving a speech about when he was in Burma. Those moments are what make the films for me, not the cluster-F editing, not long drawn out scenes of Rachael being two slightly different looking planks of wood, and definitely not THAT DAMN VOICE!

 

Anyway, I hope this shed more light on my honest thoughts on Nolans Trilogy. They're good, brilliant even. But I just don't find them AS good as other people do.

In my mind, nothing in those films are as powerful as this scene to me.

Anyway, I hope this put any bad blood towards me to rest.

My thoughts were a little disjointed (It's nearly 2 AM for me as I'm typing this). But I hope people understand what I'm trying to say.

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory at the 2005 Box Office

 

was it the story itself or this adaptation that you dislike? Because it was cool punishing all those brats in a non-creepy way!

 

[Ozzy]

 

I loved the first film, despite its deviations from the source material. I felt it had a great tone and was a solid movie in and of itself. This on the other hand was terrible. I was so disappointed.

Give me Gene Wilder over whatever the hell Johnny Depp was doing any day.

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

 

I like the first movie more. This is a very fun movie to watch (Action + Espionage + high-tech + good characters). Plot is mostly borrowed from the previous movie and the story lacks somethings. The best thing about this movie is its action-y moments, both super-tech and martial arts moments. 7.75/10

I think he should play another pirate movie, what suits him the best!

Well, it IS a film from the 80's O.o I thought it was all really well done tbh! (Although the movie as a whole wasn't my cup of tea)

I was bored.

So I watched the first film adaptation of Mary Shellys Frankenstein.

Produced by Edison Studios in 1910.

Huzzah for 104 year old Silent movies...I guess.

@TheClonesLegacy:

 

I get where you're coming from on the Nolan Batman movies; The Dark Knight was the only one I liked all that much. You're not the first to criticize Nolan for being a sloppy shooter. He has a habit of using 20 shots to communicate what most directors would be able to communicate in 5-10, and the shaky cam/quick-cutting techniques he uses for fight scenes are pretty irritating.

 

Incidentally, the last film I saw was Nolan's Insomnia, a remake of a 1997 Norwegian film in which a compromised police officer (Al Pacino) finds himself in the uncomfortable position of making a deal with a killer (Robin Williams) who saw him kill his partner acidentally (or was it?). The film takes place in a remote town in Alaska where they get six months of daylight; as you might expect, our protagonist finds himself unable to sleep.

 

Overall, it's a pretty decent film but doesn't do as good of a job exploiting its gimmick (setting a noir film in a location of perputual light rather than darkness) as the original. The ending is functional from a story 101 point of view (and compares favorably with the ridiculous anticlimax of the Norwegian film IMHO), but is still pretty on-the-nose and heavy-handed, as are a couple of other things about the film (Will Dormer? Really?). Still, Robin Williams is terrific in the film, and the cat-and-mouse games between him and Pacino are fairly enjoyable.

actually pretty good.

I half-watched X-Men 3, the one with big battles between Team Magneto, Normal Humans and Wolverine's comrades. It's kinda OK/Good for a Superhero movie about a war. Magneto and his supersoldiers kick ass in this movie (destroying that bridge and stuff). Not much of story in this movie though.

 

So tell me... what was the biggest let down for you in this movie?

 

Also I watched 'The Iron Giant'. Very interesting and touching animation.

 

[TheClonesLegacy]

As someone who ADORES the X-Men movies (I blow through all of them every year) allow me to explain.

Needlessly killed off beloved characters (Cyclops, Professor X, Psylocke ((Yeah she's there. If you squint your eyes)))

They butchered the Phoenix storyline by turning the Phoenix force from a Cosmic being of rebirth, to a split personality (Which is dumb).

 

Acting isn't the best. FastBall Special wasn't done right. Colossus did nothing in the movie despite being a main X-Man. The Juggernaut...just in general.

Forced love triangle. Nightcrawler wasn't in it for no explained reason. Whatever the hell they did to the Morlocks.

 

There's some merit to the movie (Kelsey Grammar as Beast, for example). But overall DOFP undoing it was a good thing.

But at least it's not X-Men Origins Wolverine...

Also I watched 'The Iron Giant'. Very interesting and touching animation.

 

It's probably the movie that delivers the best representation in a movie of what I feel Superman stands for. And yes, I'm including all the actual Superman movies in that ranking.

Last movie I went to see was the most recent expendables.
