Another one? What's next? "Your favourite partially animated movies" or "your favourite CGI movies" or "Your favourite Bollywood film"?

Again, do you kno what makes these threads really funny/interesting' When you say what you liked about this particular movie/series. OTherwise these topics serve no real purpose.

Again, in no particular order
  • Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (I don't know what they did, but this movie just feels right)
  • Disney's Robin Hood (Wheyhey, go Robin! Kiss the prince's gems away!)
  • Bambi (Hey, it is beautifully done)
  • Final Fantasy: Spirits within (the animation blew me away, the rest didn't)
  • Das kleine Arschloch (this movie is a good reason to learn German)
  • End of Evangelion (it ended! It actually is over! Thanks, God!)

The Transformers: The Movie - Transformers kicks ass and this movie is the height of the franchises awesomeness.
Disney's Hercules - I just love this movie. I don't know why.

Alright...

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm-The best Batman movie ever made, screw those live action debacles. The animation was gorgeous, the opera version of Danny Elfman's classic theme was enchanting, and the plot was sophisticated and engaging. Throw in some awesome voice acting, innuendo, action, and everything that made the animated series great.

Transformers: the Movie-Awesome because it introduced the grim realities of war into a kid's show...even if it was only to make way for new toys. THe first half of the movie is fantastic, all the way up to Prime's death. After that it's a little down hill. Great animation, though.

Castle of Cagliostro-Maybe my second favorite animated movie, it might out-rank Transformers. Miyazaki's best work, if you ask me. And without a doubt the best Lupin III movie. Very timeless and something the whole family can enjoy.

Ninja Scroll-Great action and lots of monsters. Could do without the gratuitous sex and rape, but that's Japan for you. The most perverted country on earth. Seriously, I think their age of consent is anytime after the placenta dries. Oh yeah, great action.

Alice in Wonderland (Disney)-Not my favorite Disney movie, that honor goes to the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. But since it's so short and doesn't really qualify as a movie, Alice comes in second. I liked the book and the whole movie is like a crazy acid-trip.

Ghost in the Shell. The title alone explains itself. If you haven't seen this film, please do.

Aladdin kicks major ass. It makes me miss what Disney once could do.

I want to see Ghost in the Shell now.

Holy ****. Finally someone else who has seen Disney's Legend of Sleepy Hollow. It has been my favourite piece of Disney animation ever since I was 4 years old.

Rent it. Even then you might be disappointed. Lots of annoying technobabble, a plot which doesn't even try to make sense, and only about one decent fight scene at the very end. And utter waste of time, IMO.

Not your style of anime. What makes you think you know what other people like? The plot makes a lot of sense, if you would try to think about it. Oh wait, you judged too quickly, because all you were looking for was a good fight scene. It's not about the fight scenes. It's there as part of the story.

Of course, you're entitled to your opinion, but you should let people give it a shot before shooting it down like that.

Calm down and listen.

"Not your style of anime"

Nope. At no point did I say it was. That much is true.

"What makes you think you know what other people like?"

At what point did I say I know what other people like? I gave an honest opinion without flames and recommended they rent it, as the hype may disappoint. A calm, polite response. Certainly more then you're capable of.

"The plot makes a lot of sense if you try to think about it."

Watched the movie twice. And I did think about it, not just "try". And nope, it was still overly confusin. And boring, too. But hey, "not my style".

"Oh wait, you judged too quickly, because all you were looking for was a good fight scene."

Judged too quickly? Bought it and watched it twice. A second viewing typically brings about a completely different opinion than the first (hated Halloween III the first time I watched, loved it every other time), and I thought it deserved that much effort. Nope.

And at what point did I say all I was looking for was a good fight scene? I said that there was only one decent fight scene in the movie. Please, don't tell me what I want, and don't put words in my mouth, either.

"It's not about the fight scenes. It's there as part of the story."

And it was an important part of the story. I got that much. But if we're talking about story, sorry. It wasn't very good.

"Of course, you're entitled to your opinion, but you should let people give it a shot before shooting it down like that."

Yep, I am entitled to an opinion, as you are your's. But unlike you, I prefer to express my opinions on movies and literature in a non-condescending manner without reporting to baseless accusations.

I listed my reasons, briefly, as to why I disliked the film but said he should still rent it. The movie does not live up to the hype, hence the "You may be disappointed" remark.

Rereading your post, I find that it isn't even remotely worthy of the time or effort I put into this response. At most it should have warranted a . But I didn't want you to get away with the wild assumptions that I was only looking for a fight scene and that I didn't even try to like the movie. After all, that's just lying.

Well, at least you explained yourself. Fair enough. I did go off the handle on that one, and I did make false accusations based on your simple opinion of the movie. Oh well. Apology? Nah. I'm a jerk.
