What's the latest movie you've seen? - Page 32

*Warhorse* · 06-23-2008, 05:56 PM

Jumper. I liked it and wonder if there is going to be a sequel.

*cowabunga14* · 06-24-2008, 02:12 PM

Watched The Relic yesterday, which was a stupid but fun B movie. I thought Stan Winston's effects looked legit.

MadPirateBunny · 06-24-2008, 02:25 PM

Enchanted. My mom loves that movie. It was cute.

*cqb101* · 06-24-2008, 08:47 PM

Lord of War

Nicholas Cage totally ruined what could have been a really good movie.

*tone-master21* · 06-24-2008, 09:53 PM

I saw The Incredible Hulk for a second time yesterday and saw Transformers today.

I actually thought it was the only good movie I've seen he's been in and the only time I've ever thought he put on a good performance. Then again he only ever plays himself in every single movie he's in so I guess to me it was the only time playing that character ever worked for him. Great writing and it was filmed well. Though I agree someone else could have played the role better I think he still did a good job.

I watched two movies today "In Burges" an amazing dark comedy about a pair of hitmen who are sent to a crappy place in Belgium called Bruges to lay low for awhile. I saw it in theaters but it just came out on DVD today.

I also watched "Road Warrior" again. My roommate never saw it so I had to show it to him. I also have to show him "The Warriors", "28 Days Later", and "Aliens" as he's never seen them and when "Doomsday" comes out on DVD I want him to see why it is I enjoyed it so much.

Just got finished with the John Addams miniseries. It's some of the best TV I've ever watched.

I thought the script was good, it was extremely well shot. The director definitely has a unique style, and I dug it, but Nick Cage totally took me out of the movie. I just saw him as himself trying to be a weapons smuggler. Some of the lines he delivered were suppose to be powerful or meaningful, but came off as laughable. I wish it was somebody else in the role, because I really wanted to like this movie.

And good to hear about In Bruges, I've been wanting to check it out.

ToxicRevolution · 06-25-2008, 11:35 AM

I just saw the Love Guru and the Hulk yesterday. Love Guru was half funny and half abysmally retarded, and the Hulk was pretty good.

*cowabunga14* · 06-25-2008, 01:28 PM

Watched Zone Troopers, which was a average kind of war and science fiction movie. It was wasn't a bad movie considering the budget, but I can't really recommend it to anyone else.

Then I watched Waking Life, which was a trippy movie with interesting principles and theories. In a way, I'm still thinking about the movie because it was a lot to take it.

Later on, I finished up Dragnet with my dad, and the movie was pretty funny. Dan Akroyd and Tom Hanks made a good, I guess, team in it.

I say that about alot of movies he's in. Mainly Ghost Rider... he ****in sucked, but the script was trash anyways.

*jeff the cheff* · 06-26-2008, 04:14 PM

I saw Labrynth last night. I enjoyed it, and I remember waking up one day when I was little and seeing this movie and having no idea what it was but thinking it was the best thing ever.

*gobo* · 06-26-2008, 04:26 PM

Finally got the chance to see Indy 4. Anyone who didn't think that was a worthy sequel to Indiana Jones is off their rocker.

*Spitfire* · 06-26-2008, 04:45 PM

I saw The Hulk...maybe it's because I don't have some fond connection to the old series or never liked him anyways as a character but the film was just alright to me.

The Good
The story was well written and actually interesting to me. I like how they skimmed over the boring origin story. I'm a fan of visually telling a story. I'm not a fan of opening sequences packed with badly written expositional dialog that most Marvel movies seem to enjoy.

Norton did a good job. I always liked him so no surprise here. He made the role his own and this made me enjoy and look forward to scenes with him in them even more. It was the first hero movie I've ever watched where I wasn't interested in the hero at all as a character, since Norton and The Hulk are basically two separate beings in the film.

Roth was actually good too I thought. At least up until Abomination*I assume that's his name* started talking. I saw that as completely pointless.

The Bad
The CGI was just god awful. It looked okay in the dark scenes but even then. I guess there was really no other way to pull it off so what can ya do but bad CGI always ruins a film for me on some level. It takes me out of be submerged in it.

Hulk yelling "Hulk Smash" was just ugh. I don't recall one scene in the movie where Norton heard himself being referred to as The Hulk so it made zero sense for him to say that. Also clapping to put out a fire was an eye roller. That's really just me being nit picky I guess.

The movie at times felt like it was stringed together by the action sequences. The "Days since incident" counter is a testament to that.

My last complaint is the helicopter scene at the end. I'm supposed to believe...

Spoiler:

Like I said I'm not fan of The Hulk but in my opinion if a movie is good it should be good to people who don't follow the series or character as well as ones who do. I thought Iron Man was great and I don't follow Iron Man. At times some of these movies are filled with too many references and that's sometimes what draws people in which I think is really dumb on the parts of those people. There are people out there that enjoy movies just because they have a scene with a reference to something, example after X3 came out I heard tons of people talking about how good it was just because there's a scene where Juggernaut said "I'm Juggernaut bitch!" Ugh...

While on the references topic Hulk got a little to heavy on that. The opening sequence is reference heavy as well as the ending. Nothing really makes me feel like a nerd then when I get them. I imagine if I followed the old series that people say it's based off of there would be even more. One reference I did get but I need a little clarifying...

Equilibrium. Less dumb than I remembered.

In Bruges....I dug it, Colin Farrell was great.

10,000 BC...God awful.

poiuytre · 06-26-2008, 08:30 PM

In Bruges as well. It's funny but darker than I expected. Absolutely Colin Farrell's best performance to date tho.

*jeff the cheff* · 06-26-2008, 11:59 PM

I just saw the Incredible Hulk. Overall I enjoyed it a lot, and would see it again. I didn't like the cgi hulk either, but it was ok. It would have been cool if they could have done something like hellboy, where its an actual person. The best parts of the movie weren't anything with the hulk flying around or any other effects, so it would have only helped if he wasn't in cgi, but oh well.

I'm also excited at the sequel hints that were dropped in this one.
