D-Money Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 The Hunger Games - 6/10 Not a very good movie at all...but I'm nowhere near their target demographic. But I totally get the hype. A teenage girl who feels that nobody notices her gets to save her sister, be the star of the ball, stay at the penthouse, become a hero to her town, and kill those mean bullies?

D-Money Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Like the Matrix before it, it was clear that they had never intended on making a second and third film until the success of the first. Just crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 lol! Best review I've seen for it yet. My wife absolutely plowed through these books, and even she thought the movie was a joke. 4/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bassi13 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I may be in the Minority, but I kind of liked Reloaded when I first saw it - more than any of the Pirates sequels, anyway. It obviously wasn't in the same stratosphere as the first one, but it had some interesting new characters and ideas. I thought it was really going somewhere... ...but oh, was I wrong. Revolutions was one of the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked. I have refrained from re-watching the first two since, in case I get flashbacks of that colossal pile of crap.

Bure fan Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Has anyone seen "Wrath of the Titans" ? Is it actually as good as the trailer makes it seem? If someone can give me an honest opinion I will greatly appreciate it thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Wrath was worse than Clash, imo. The story just wasn't that interesting and the titan effects didn't quite make up for it. Clash at least had the original plotline for support. Watched Night of the Comet, which i barely remember from 1984. Maybe i barely remember it because beyond the basic premise (the comet that wiped out the dinosaurs comes back and turns the humans to red, chalk-like dust in their tracks as the earth crosses it's tail), the movie is 100% forgettable. The survivors are flesh-eating zombies, of course, but a few 'protected from the comet by a steel shed' survivors remain: A couple 80's stereotype broads and Chicote from Star Trek Voyager. Zombie effects are horrible and cheap. The flesh actually looks like cooked ham. And the 'scary' scenes are laughable at best. The evil scientists at the end lose their IQ due to the comet, but i think they were idiots to begin with. Easily defeated keystone cops operation. Unlike other bad, low-budget movies of the era, this one does not even deserve cult status. Re-Animator, Bad Taste, Death Race 2000 and such at least didn't take itself seriously in any way. This movie just looks like a serious movie attempt that got it's plug pulled. 2/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Warrior - 7.5 Not a fan in the least of MMA, so this one didn't really interest me much. But it's constant presence in IMDB's top 250 made me give it a shot. Turned out to be a pretty good movie, and far more about family and old wounds than fighting. However, it wasn't top-250 good. A lot of cliches at work, and I didn't find Nick Nolte's performance to be oscar-nom-worthy. But still a solid film, and worth watching...even if you couldn't care less about MMA.

TOMapleLaughs Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yup, Warrior was good. Hardly recognized the guy from Inception, but i guess he had to do more bulked-up roles while being in 'Bane' mode for the last Batman. His loss after destroying all other opponents easily was a little far-fetched, but it stressed the importance of submission holds. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyFox Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Back to the future- 10/10 That movie is a classic can't beat it. Back to the future 2 - 8/10 Movie is a classic but the 1st one is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrison Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The first one was excellent. I'd probably rate it even higher. But they get worse and worse. I couldn't even watch more than 30 minutes of the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I meant like the series is an 8. Obviously the first one was very well done. It would be like a 9, the second movie a 7.5, the 3rd is a solid 8.25 and the fourth a 6 ( it's pretty bad.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.K. Chesterton Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 The Bourne Legacy 7/10 - Captured the feeling of the Matt Damon Bourne films, but a little bland because it definitely seemed like a reboot. The Possession - 7/10 - Decent movie. Matisyahu as a Jewish exorcist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sulihpoeht Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 The Bourne Legacy- 6.5/10 The fighting scenes were okay, but there weren't any clever tricks put into it that made it anywhere close to the originals. Remember the reverse-pickpocket at the beginning of the Ultimatum? Remember grabbing clothing during the rooftop chase to vault over the glass? Remember calling the police with perfect timing to slow down the Black Briar agents? This movie didn't have anything that would make you say "wow to. It was slow at the beginning and didn't have the usual consistent action that the Bourne movies usually had. Half an hour for any decent fighting to go on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
