| Prometheus Saw
it on the big screen before I read any of the legions of criticism and it was
amazing cinematography. It lacks that big screen thingy when you watch the DVD,
very rare these days a movie made for the big screen. Also a science fiction
film not an action film that happens to be set in space so looking forward to
the sequel. |
I don't know the issue that people had with this. Other than some poor choices made by the characters, I thought it was a decent sci-fi flick. Like you, I am waiting to see it go further.
| Fright Night
Remake
of the 80’s classic. The lead character instead of being a nerd now has the
hottest girl in school, which left me wondering how she was ever in school
being 25 and looking 30? The movie is long and feels long, Colin Farrell for a
change isn’t terrible and actually peaks at so so. |
Also pleasantly suprised by this.
| Underworld 4
Underworld
1 was pretty good, Underworld 2 was awful, Underworld 3 was pretty good again,
a change of director and we get the shittiest of shit films and it goes and
makes the most money of all of the 4 movies, so there will be a 5th. I don’t
understand movies. |
Thirty minutes was all I could stand of this. Pure and utter dunnage.
| Avengers
.......
Thor’s a God, not an alien.......... Few good things to say about this. The guy
who plays Loki is pretty good, but didn’t Thor take him out alone in the
previous movie, so why did it take all the avengers this time? Oh, yes I forgot
he had generic CGI flying robots this time round....... Thor’s a God, not an
alien.......... and lets not forget those seminal scenes, Iron Man repairs a
space ship for .......... 20 minutes. Doctor Bruce Banner is now fully in
control of the Hulk and Thor who can’t go to earth, whole point of last movie
was he can’t go to earth.... then doesn’t bother to visit Natalie Portman while
there. I wonder if next Thor film he’s going to be full of angst from being
separated from her. And by the way ....... Thor’s a God, not an alien.......... |
Kid's movie. I kind of zoned out till the mindless action took up at the end. The thing with Thor is a little distressing though. It is similar to what happened in the Avenger's cartoon that my kid likes. Thor is not introduced as the God of Thunder, but rather as the Prince of Thunder. Do it right, or don't do it at all......fundamentalists be damned.
| Cabin in the Woods
Being
a Joss Whedon fan I was expecting to like this, but unfortunately I’m a Joss
Whedon fans so having seen Buffy with the Initiative and Angel with the old
Gods and I really didn’t want to see them again badly rehashed as a slasher
movie. This is no Serenity. |
Definately the initiative. I swear that I kept expecting the Scoobies to save the day.......but I still enjoyed it.
| Battleship
Has
the rare distinction of being the first movie I’ve walked out on since Pearl
Harbour and I’ve seen some pretty dreadful movies and not walked out in the
meantime. No idea how it ends but most likely the mass suicide of the audience. |
Didn't see it...and kind of suprised you gave it a shot.
| Batman 3
Chris
Nolan is said to be a director you either love or hate, I think his movies are
not bad but nothing special. And with Batman fans still jacking off to Heath
Ledger posters at risk to my life I enjoyed this movie more than the previous
one. The convincingness of the way it portrayed the takeover of the city by a
gang of criminals was well done. Also I think Batman’s a bit dull and has a
silly costume, fortunately he wasn’t in this movie much. A bit of a sellout
over Batman’s death though. |
I am very much of the mind that Wayne is actually dead, and that was just Alfred's wishful dreaming at the end.
| The Hunger Games
.........It’s
just a rip off of Battle Royale.......... the future that fashion forgot and
the worst CGI fire ever.........It’s just a rip off of Battle Royale.......... The poor live in 19th century
style a poverty but can still afford 25th century style TV’s in each
house and the people who run the country haven’t applied any of that advanced
technology to the manufacturing process.........It’s just a rip off of Battle
Royale.......... despite all this the lead actress wasn’t bad, but she was the
only thing in the movie that can be described this way. Also why would anyone
rip off Battle Royale and completely remove all the sexiness? Oh yes did I
mention.........It’s just a rip off of Battle Royale.......... |
Not for one second do I get why this is popular.
| Iron Sky
The
movie I most eagerly awaited this year, I doubted it could be as good as the
expectation, and it wasn’t. However it still was pretty good. A definite homage
to Dr Stranglove and an utterly astonishing achievement when you realise its
budget was $8 million, compare this to Twilight 4 which had $110 million (what
did they spend it on?). So nice to see good writing and talent can still beat
throwing money at something. |
Didn't see it.
| Wrath of the Titans
Dreadful,
but I only have myself to blame. I saw part one it was awful, but the trailer
to this one looked so good. |
My kid enjoyed it, which tells you whom it was marketed towards.
| Snow White
Great
trailer, why am I such a sucker for going to movies with great trailers when I
just know they will be crap. It was crap, really dislike the actor who plays
Thor, the girl from Twilight is hot but can't act so naturally they concentrated on her ham acting and dressed her down. |
Can't stand the Stewart chick...she is the female Keanu Reeves.
| Abraham Lincoln
Vampire Hunter
Great
great title. Fortunately for the movie though it was released in the same year
as Battleship so avoids being the worst movie of the year.
A lonely Place to
Die
Low
budget thriller. Again like Iron Sky looks big budget because of talent. The
real find movie of the year, beautiful scenary and photography as a bunch of climbers in the
Scottish highland rescue a kidnap victim and have to get her to safety while
being hunter by the kidnappers. Sounds banal but riddled with originality throughout.

Didn't see it.
