[V2] Last Movie You've Seen

Thor

I had no interest in watching this film until i saw the Avengers ages ago. I planned to buy it but totally forgot until I watched Cabin in the Woods with Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor. This was a really good film :gasp: I completely expected it to suck but i was dead wrong. I really enjoyed it. Im a big fan of Anthony Hopkins and it was great that he had quite a large roll in the film. He made a brilliant Odin :lew: The king of acting playing the king of Asgard. They chose their actors well, Hemsworth was really good. I particularly liked his accent, it just seemed to fit the film and he kept the accent throughout. The story was good, not much to say about it really. Its just Thor losing his powers and having to regain them to save his world from evil frost monsters and his evil adopted brother Loki.
Had some great action scenes and i liked the special effects. Despite using a lot of CGI it looked genuine which is the most important part of special effects. Theres nothing worse than a film that ends up looking like Star Wards episode 1 :ness:
I really enjoyed this flick and il be picking it up on DVD when I have money. Superhero films have a bright future ahead of them now. They're the best they've ever been. I hear the sequel to Thor is out this year :hmmm: Im looking forward to that :)

Also Cabin in the Woods was a great film. It started out hitting all the horror cliché's but then took its own turn and was quite an original film and i really enjoyed it. Had i knew there were zombies in it i would have watched it ages ago but i tend to avoid horror films like I do a coffe revels but this film was really decent. Unlike Tokyo gore police which was the last horror i saw before cabin in the woods. I watched that a few months ago and it disgusted me. It was twisted and manky.
 
iron man 3

it certainly lived up to expectations for me, although in a completely different way. the trailers set up the film to be a dark epic, almost reminiscent of the dark knight films, but it was actually much more light-hearted. there were a lot of very funny moments, even more so than with the other iron man films, and it was really quite action packed with a good finale (which the first two lacked a little for me). much like the third batman film, he spends more time out of the suit than in it, which gives it a distinctly human side that i liked.
i can't really talk about my main issue with the film as it will give away a bit too much, but i expect there'll be a bit of a fan backlash over it, and i can understand why, but at the same time i can understand why they took it down that route.
 
Iron Man 3.

I hated this movie. I honestly cannot wrap my mind around how anyone could think it was fantastic. It had some funny moments but overall I found it to be lame and dull and there was humour where there shouldn't have been and just a bunch of stupid shit. For instance the money barrel chain in the sky... oh my god.

I will need to put some things in spoilers now because there was one part of the story which had me confused and I don't know if I missed something or if the movie was just fucking ridiculous...but if someone can explain it to me it would make me hate the film a little less:

The bit where Robert Downey Jr calls all the 39843982-85028523 iron man suits to the battle.... and he says "You didn't expect that did you" Uhm.... why can he suddenly call all those suits? Why couldn't he call them earlier? I don't remember anyone saying anything about why he could only call them in so late, if he had called them in from the start then everything would have been so much fucking easier and it would have made much more sense and they could have cut the stupid movie down.

Please answer me that!
 
it was because the vault they were kept in was under so much rubble from his house being destroyed that they couldn't simply just break through. as soon as it was all cleared, they could get out and fly to him.

i agree that there were quite a lot of plot holes in it, but they didn't ruin the film for me in any way. the dark knight rises had plot holes you could park a bus in, but it was my favourite of the three. you just have to look past things like that and accept them for what they are.

I think that's a bit of a shit reason for them to not manage to get out. There were about 10 - 15 of them at least, the iron man suit is strong, 15 of them could have smashed their way out easily, also how did he even know enough rubble had been moved... ugh it doesn't matter i suppose, like you said, plot holes.

The difference for me with the dark knight though was the characters, even though they are in a fantasy world with batman etc, they were much more realistic, there wasn't un-needed humour in the wrong spots or stupid one liners, and i know I should expect that from iron man because those things have been littered through the first two movies but this one seemed to be full of it, it was really just one big pun...
 
if they'd smashed their way out, all of it would have collapsed on top of them. they're not supposed to be so strong they can lift up a mansion. also, jarvis was essentially dead for a portion of the film so he wasn't there to interface between tony and the suits. when he was back online, he was the one who told tony that enough rubble had been cleared for them to get out.
 
This is the last movie you watched threads, not the discuss Iron Man 3 thread. You cunts.

John Carpenter's The Thing
It's the last film I remember watching at least. It is about an arctic research station that gets invaded by an alien. It is not your typical alien horror film however as the alien impersonates people (or rather, takes over their body). The crux of the film is the people in the station trying to work out who is still human and who has been taken over by the monster. It builds tension very well and is quite enthralling to watch.
 
i think the bigger plot hole is how they explained away the lack of action from s.h.i.e.l.d. i just didn't buy it at all. i suppose they could use captain america 2 and/or the s.h.i.e.l.d. tv series to explain it better, but i just don't believe that if there was a terrorist so bad as the mandarin, they wouldn't take action against him.
 
Star Trek Into Darkness

I saw this at the cinemas on Friday night with my friends. I loved it. I am a big fan of the first one so I was very excited to see this movie. A part of me was a bit nervous that it might be shit but it turned out to be a really fun movie with great characters. It had just the right amount of humour in most places and was exciting enough that I didn't get bored at all. I think it had a few flaws, I don't at all think it was a perfect movie but I enjoyed it enough that I don't care about those things, though I do wish it had more aliens or something in it.

8/10
 
I saw Iron Man 3 which was pretty good. It had some humor and some action and it was overall enjoyable.

I also saw Oblivion which was okay but it had Tom Cruise who is kind of boring and the movie itself was a good concept but poorly executed and was just kind of meh overall. Not bad, not great, just okay.

Gonna go see Star Trek Into Darkness this weekend so that'll be good :ohoho:
 
star trek into darkness

i'd only seen the first one a couple of days before the new one, and curiously i seem to be the only one who preferred it to the first. i don't think it was massively better, just slightly. cumberbatch plays an incredible villain, all through his facial expressions and his voice. i'm looking forward to seeing him play more villains in the future (the hobbit is suddenly looking even better :ohoho:). i did have problems with it though. towards the end i was starting to get a little bored, and it became very predictable. i also thought admiral marcus seemed to have a poor motive, and he never really felt like a threat at all. still a fantastic film though.
 
The last movie I've seen was The Last Stand, Star Trek into Darkness, The Possession. In that order. Star Trek into Darkness was the last movie at a theator that I've seen. Man of Steel is going to be next. If I had infinite money*goes out and buys a Gameshark* I would watch movies all day at the theators.
 
The Last Exorcism Part II...

It was shit
you
shouldn't watch it.

The last film I went to the cinema to see was Iron Man 3, and I must say... Trevor was awesome. :wacky:
 
Star Trek Into Darkness in the cinema and Despicable Me for the first time on DVD. :) I watched these days apart, mind you. ;)

Star Trek was pretty spectacular and Benedict Cumberbatch most certainly makes a good villain! :) I loved the cinematography!

I was not as keen on DM... Everyone had been telling me that it was absolutely fantastic, so I was a bit disappointed to find it was fairly ordinary. :sad3: It is by no means a bad film! but it was not as good as others had suggested.

Megamind is a much better version of Dispicable Me. It is very underrated. If you enjoy clever humour you should give it a go.

The last movie I watched was Mama.
It is about two little girls who get raised in the wild by some angry spirit until their uncle finds them and tries to raise them himself.. (the uncle is played by the dude who does jamie lannister in GoT :P). I quite enjoyed it. It's been a long time since I have seen a good horror movie that is both interesting and scary at the same time. Ofc it has it's lame cliche parts but overall I think it's a must see for anyone who enjoys horror and is desperatelt looking for a good one to watch.

The Departed. I watched this over the weekend. I have seen it tonnes of times and it never gets old for me. It's really enjoable and all the actors in it are great (except matt damon, be bothers me). The 'twist' is amazing.

Grease... my sister bought this movie for mum and she made us watch it with her. I'm not into musicals at all but there is something about how cheesy this movie is that makes it kind of fun to watch haha. It's actually a lot filthier than I remember it (though the last time I watched it was about 8 years ago) I forgot how flamboyant john travolta was as well.

Tonight I am seeing the great gatsby. I'm looking forward to forming my own opinion on it because the reviews are so mixed.
 
the purge

i subjected myself to this last night, rather than watch game of thrones, and i made a terrible mistake. it is impossible to ignore how stupid the idea of a purge is. throughout the film i was constantly picking holes in the premise, which spoiled my enjoyment of what was at best a mindless and only mildly entertaining film. i can't understand why this has 65% on rotten tomatoes
 
I finally got to see Berserk: The Egg of the King. I've been a fan of this series for about 10 years. An when I heard they were going to be adapting the entire manga into movies I was pretty excited. Overall the movie was good. A good majority of what happens in the manga is shown differently and some things are cut out altogether, but nothing really important is cut out, though Guts' childhood is basically told entirely by a 30 second dream sequence. I found the CG animation to be a little awkward at times but it didn't look bad exactly. I can definitely say I'm anxiously awaiting the other films.
 
the world's end
it was lovely to see simon pegg and nick frost, et al, on screen again doing what they do best. i loved that they kept a lot of the themes from the first two films going strong in this one, however it does feel like they have tried a little too hard to make another cult classic. the film just wasn't quite as quotable (with a few exceptions) as both shaun of the dead and hot fuzz, and it sadly didn't make me laugh as hard as they did. it wasn't a bad film in any way, but pegg, frost and wright have set themselves a very high bar and couldn't rise to it a third time.
 
We went to see The Wolverine yesterday, which honestly wasn't bad, but wasn't amazing. Hugh Jackman is always brilliant, and with that in mind it was always going to be at least mildly entertaining.

Overall I'd say it was better than X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but not as good as say, X-Men: First Class.
