Justice League Flashpoint paradox

Pretty good movie, the alternate timeline storyline I'd like to see more explored in the movie, but it was enough for the story at hand. The fight scenes are phenomenal.

Some parts the art style looked a bit too whacky in the anatomy department, especially in the beginning and Aquaman looked weird. But it leveled out a bit more as the movie progressed.

I've been watching 'The Cornetto Trilogy' recently, so the film I've watched most recently is Hot Fuzz.

fixed.
I'm not saying it's not, all I'm saying is in the word's of the great Danny DeVito I was "trippin balls" by the concept BECAUSE the way it was presented was plausible.
Saw Anchorman 2. Pretty good. The cameos in and of themselves were worth it.

Watched Fantastic Four last night, and then Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Just saw Frozen in theatres again for the second time. Enjoyed it even more second time around.

I just saw "Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack" for the first time.

Pretty crazy movie. I had heard about the film, I knew it was "controversial" and I knew there was some role altering with some of the characters. The Godzilla suit took some time getting used to. It reminds me of the original '54 Godzilla design, but meant to just look pure evil. It's also the most mobile I have ever seen Godzilla move.
Overall, it was actually a pretty enjoyable movie and the human story wasn't so bad either.
Very glad I own this now.

The second Harry Potter movie.

It's nice to have a significant other that is a complete Potter fanatic telling all the things that is wrong in the movie.

Them I shut her up by telling HP got off easy, the new TMNT movie have turtles with gorilla noses. And Haldir dies in the LOTR movies.

[Icebot]

I just saw Mean Girls 2.

[Luigiperps]

The Lego Movie. It was quite swell.

So what did she say was wrong with it?

I just finished watching The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This morning, I watched Airheads and then Men in Black.

My bh and I are trying to find some romantic movies in honor of Valentine's day. Not that many on Netflix. I'd never seen Once Bitten so we watched that tonight. Wasn't bad. Jim Carrey sounds the same to me but she says he looks so much younger in that one.

Do movies with rifftrax count? If so, I watched Plan 9 From Outer Space the other day. We've also been in a Disney mood lately so we watched Robin hood, Escape to Witch Mountain, and The Rescuers this past week.

Troll 2. Every bit as terrible as I remember. the "OH MY GOOAAAAAAAWD" is my favorite scenen ever though. The fly on the forehead and him screaming to himself are just so hammy you can't help but laugh.

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Lego movie

cute~

The Lego Movie. It was alright.

[discordiatookie]

The Wolf of Wall Street.

Really enjoyed it! Felt it was about a 1/2 hour too long, but looking back I don't know what they could cut out.

My favourite part:

Spoiler:

The whole 'ludes/country club/cerebral palsy/Lamborghini/ choking scene had me in absolute stitches...

[Leo656]

Justice League: War. It's OK. Not among my favorite of the DC Animated films, though. Lots of big action, but nothing else, really. There's the tiniest bit of clever character development moments, and some characters like Cyborg get a disproportionate amount of attention, while characters like Shazam and Green Lantern either get no backstory at all, or only the faintest bit of one, which is odd for a story that's ostensibly about the first team-up of the JLA (New 52 continuity, at any rate). The action was just fine, although some things felt off to me, to various degrees...

Spoiler:

- At one point, Hal Jordan asks aloud "Who is Bruce Wayne?" Bruce is pretty much always depicted as being one of the richest, most recognizable people in the world. That would be like someone asking "Who is Donald Trump?" You might not know everything about them but you've at least heard of them and have a general idea who they are. That was weird.

- The members of the League apparently mass-murder a whole ass-load of Para-Demons. Now, I'm a little fuzzy on how things are explained as far as the Para-Demons being alive or not - especially in the New 52 - but it still seems odd to see Wonder Woman more or less dismembering several dozen of them, shoving her sword through one's head, etc.

- Other than briefly seeing him as Billy Batson, Shazam gets no explanation of his powers or origin. It's weird, because he ends up being a major character in the movie and gets more screen time than Superman, even. They briefly show his foster family, with Freddy and a sister who I guess is Mary Marvel? She's not referred to by name, and also, if Mary's race was changed in the New 52, I missed it, because she's apparently black here. Again, I can only guess, because they didn't bother to fill us in. They definitely could have filled in more of his details and backstory; the movie's only like 80 minutes.

- Batman reveals he knows Superman is Clark, but other than an earlier comment that "I've studied him", he gives no clue how he would have figured that out. And it's presented in the story as being a fairly big deal (this story is presented as the first time they actually meet each other), but the moment just kind of hangs there for a second, then is dismissed. So to get even, Superman simply peeks under Batman's mask to see he's Bruce Wayne. Earlier in the story, Batman comments that he's familiar with Superman's powers, yet somehow didn't see that one coming. Them each figuring out the other's secret ID should have been played bigger, or else scrapped. Story-wise, it really doesn't do anything for the plot; it's just an awkward fanboy moment.

- Superman kills DeSaad. Like, he pretty much just grabs him with one hand and throttles him to death, possibly crushing his neck. Now, granted, he was still semi-"possessed" by the power of Darkseid's Para-Demons or whatever when he did it, but I always hate when they do that in stories, just have a Good Guy full-on kill someone/many someones, then cop out and say "Well, they were under some kind of spell/hypnosis, so it doesn't count." Especially when they pull it with Superman. It's just a really shaky thing to sell and I'm not sure it would hold up in court.

- This one's kind of nitpicky, but it still irked me. At the end of the big fight, you briefly but clearly see Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen among the crowd of people who arrive to thank the JLA, and not only do nether of them speak one word, neither of them are even referenced by name, and further, Superman completely ignores them both while seemingly using his X-Ray vision on Wonder Woman (they spend half the movie blatantly planning to go screw as soon as this Darkseid business is over - although they don't come out and say so). One example of many how "New Superman" feels really out of character. The whole movie has little issues like that with him. Just saved the world, but can't even say Hi to Lois because he's busy ogling Diana? That ain't the guy I knew... They made Hal Jordan a real douche, too, for what it's worth.

It was OK overall, though, the fight scenes were great, especially the last big rally against Darkseid. But there was a lot of times they dropped the ball on some semi-important plot and character stuff, just to speed up to the Punch-Kick-Kaboom stuff. And I get that your movie is called "War", you don't want to stray far from the general idea. I get that. But for not even 80 minutes, it feels like parts are deliberately missing, and some of the characterization is flat-out bad. If you're like me, and know DC history backwards and forwards through 2011, but haven't looked at much of the New 52 stuff, pretty much nobody but Batman acts as you'd expect them to. Frankly, if this is an accurate depiction of how characters like Superman and Green Lantern act in the newer comics, I'm glad I'm taking a break.

I'll give it a B+ for some nice big-scale action stuff. It's not one of my favorites, though. Even "Public Enemies" did a much better job with the "All Action/No Exposition" format, and that movie gets constant flack for having such a bare-bones plot. But the character stuff still came through in that one and you can't really say that with "War". It's OK, but I wanted to like it more.

The LEGO Movie - Funny, Imaginative, exciting, and heartfelt. 9/10

Kill Bill- Just jeeps getting better and better on each viewing. 10/10

[Jester]

Yeah, Leo I kinda felt that way about GL, too. Made him a real jerk...and kinda stupid. And poor Flash was barely in the thing. Also wasn't that big a fan of Silas Stone. Came off as a super bad father. Did really dig Sean Astin as Shazam. Odd hearing Raph at times though.

[Leo656]

Shazam's usually not that bad, either, they douched him up pretty hard. Vic's Dad always was kind of a jerk, though, so even if his character was unlikable, at leas it was consistent. Everyone else was like, "It's a new continuity, let's just give everyone new personalities." I hate that.

I hated when they did it with Superboy on "Young Justice", too, where they made him the "Angry Raph Type" just because every group needs one, even though he's never, ever been that character otherwise. But the group needed a "Raph", because group shows deal in archetypes exclusively, so who needs consistent characterization?

I'unno.
