What's the latest movie you've seen? - Page 75

Yelchin having an American accent has nothing to do with him being a good actor, he grew up in the US...

*Spitfire* · 05-21-2009, 11:46 PM

I saw Terminator...I don't know why. I blame not feeling like going to class and my roommate really wanting to go see it.

Anyways it was okay. It didn't suck as hard as I thought it was going to but it wasn't good either. There were parts that annoyed me, like all the stupid attempts to drop in one liners of Arnold and them re-doing the computer factory staircase scene from the first movie. Naked Arnold was funny but it wasn't even him, obviously I mean he doesn't look like that anymore.

The acting blew for the most part, even Bale was pretty bad. The story was boring and pretty predictable. If you really enjoy watching **** explode then I recommend this, and probably the new Transformers movie which looks like it might possibly be even more hallow then this one was.

I think the main problem this movie has is there was no need to make it. It wasn't necessary and told us nothing we needed to know or care about. Kinda like how 3 was actually. Except this one tried to do it's own thing and not re-do scenes, except what I mentioned above, from a previous movie in the series and screw them up.

Never said it was. I only mentioned he had an American accent in case people were wondering if he sounded a bit Russian in the movie.

Less than half way through All the Days Before Tomorrow, not sure what I think....

. I was surprised when at the beginning I saw in the credits that Anton Yelchin was in it. And low and behold he ended up being Kyle Reese himself!! It was really nice to see him in a much bigger role this week than his smaller role as Chekov a couple weeks ago. And yes he has an American accent. The kid's a good actor for sure.

nah, i don't think he's that good. he totally ruined Chekov! it was horrible listening to him. every time he opened his mouth, i was like, just kill him now, please! where's Walter Keoning. this kid sucks!

Spoiler:

damn, that alone makes me want to see it.

any way, my latest movie i just watched on VOD was "The Wrestler". freakin' sweet movie. although

You are supposed to come to that conclusion yourself. They kind of leave it to your imagination.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 05-23-2009, 11:38 PM

that's what i thought. it was still a good movie

*gobo* · 05-23-2009, 11:55 PM

As far as I know, the Governator wasn't listed in the credits, and I was looking specifically for that. So, I'm under the impression that it was a look-alike or stand-in with face-replacement. It looked too young to be Arnie at his current age. Also, he didn't speak. That made me wonder in the first place.

**GK Punk** · 05-23-2009, 11:57 PM

It was a look alike with CGI Arnold face basically.

Terminator: Salvation

I was entertained by it. Easily the worst entry in the series. It didn't really feel like a Terminator movie. It could have been any generic sch-fi war movie. Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese was the best part. He looked just like him and got his mannerisms down. Christian Bale, as I expected, sucked as John Connor. Sam Worthington would have been a better John Connor. The ending felt rushed, and despite lots of action, the movie dragged on a bit as well.

*Warhorse* · 05-24-2009, 11:26 AM

The whole family went last night to see Night at the Museum 2. Damn, that place was jammed packed. But it was a cute movie, enjoyed it. Kids loved it, especially the dinosaur, Roosevelt, the monkeys and Jed.

There was actually no need for T2. Not that there shouldn't have been. Just that things could've been left with the first one.

you sir just pissed off the entire Terminator fanbase with this one post! bravo

*raphael_is_cool* · 05-24-2009, 04:37 PM

Hehe. Not trying to start arguments; it's a great film. But the first film can actually stand on its own.

Why would he? He didn't actually say anything negative about it.

Watched Yojimbo recently, which I've seen before and it's always am awesome movie to watch.

*Hannah* · 05-25-2009, 05:23 PM

I watched American Beauty, Love Me if You Dare (Jeux d'enfants), and S. f*cking Darko this weekend. I knew S. Darko was going to be bad, but this is just absolutely terrible. I want to KILL everyone involved with it. I can honestly say I have never watched a movie this bad before.

The other two movies were fantastic, though. I love Thora Birch.
