There was one song that they played at least 3 times throughout the film, and that was it. Otherwise, better than most garbage children films they are releasing these days.

Gyllenhaal Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Just finished watching Batman Vs Superman. I honestly don't understand the hate that the movie received. I enjoyed it, and I thought it was much better than CA:Civil War(the worst of the Captain America trilogy imo). I'll give it a 7.7/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 It's my wife's birthday today, so she decided we should go see: Marvel Film 26: It Never Ends This was, without a doubt, the worst Marvel film of the series. That is, until the next hunk of sh*t rears its ugly head in a few weeks. That's right, literally weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC20.0 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 The Jungle Book. 9/10. Honestly I was not expecting it to be good, I was very pleasantly surprised. It was very good. The film did a very good job of capturing the story without stretching it too much as other movies have done *Cough Hobbit cough*. Also for once, the kid actor was actually good and not annoying.

Monty Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 They Live - 7/10 I feel like a complete tool for not watching this when I was growing up. So completely ridiculous. Definitely not one of John Carpenter's best, but it was enjoyable in its own, albeit, really weird way. That fight scene between Piper and Keith David. What a thing of beauty.

aGENT Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 SW-Force Awakens 7/10 Hard to judge this one... It's definitely better than Ep I-III but they also didn't tread any terribly new ground either which was a bit disappointing. Though not surprising. I quite liked Rey, though I wasn't particularly fond of Ren who came off is a bit of a sniveling, petulant little @#$% (and given who his father is, doesn't seem to fit IMO but rather seemed more convenient to fit a narrative). I also quite liked the first ~half with the character development etc but then the finale seemed both a bit rushed and a smidge anti-climactic. All in all it was a good, fun watch and had a comfortable Star Wars 'feel' to it which was probably the smart way to go. It has it's hooks in me enough that I'm interested to see another. Hopefully the middle episode of this series is also as strong as the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have trouble seeing those parents raising that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duodenum Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Batman vs Superman: complete utter garbage, nothing else to say. 0/10 Captain America: Civil War: best movie I've seen so far this year. Solid 8/10, plot holes bring it down. Next up: X-men (can you tell I watch a lot of superhero movies?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched Under the skin last night...wow It's so different from most modern movies I don't even know how to rate it or even if I should. It's creepy. it's beautiful. It's stark yet the atmosphere is so thick at times it seems almost oppressive. It's completely original while at the same time reminding you of works of the 70's film making artists like Kubrick, Jodorosky etc. The score/sound effects are intense and constantly unnerving. I'm not entirely sure what I watched but I enjoyed the @#$% out of what it evoked and can't stop thinking of it. I'm intrigued to watch it again to see how many more details I can manage to absorb amongst the tidal waves of subtlety and commentary on our superficial tendencies. If you even sometimes enjoy film as an art, you owe it to yourself to watch it. If you live and die by the latest comic book adaptation....maybe not.
