Terrible movie. Fell asleep in the cinema.

Can't claim you've watched it then so therefore your opinion is null and void :lol:

Elysium was pretty good. Not as good as District 9 though. The main antagonist was kinda irritating and the ending sequence could of done with and extra 10 or so minutes to pad it out a bit. Was an entertaining watch though.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

I was hoping for free..

I was hoping for free..

Option A:
Sign up for a free one month trial at Netflix. Cancel immediately so you don't get charged for next month. Then open up a new bank account with a new card, sign up for a new free gmail address and then get another free one month trial. And repeat until all banks won't let you open another account.

Option B:
Just pay the equivalent of 20p a day you fucking knock off nigel.

[Syn]

Btw, I am reliably told that for films, Blinkbox is better. Haven't been impressed with Netflix's choices on films. I use Sky Go more.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Funny. But I don't see why they water down hard action movies when it's only likely to appeal to an older demographic. They did it with Die Hard as well.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

In what sense was it died down? It looked pretty similar (action wise) to Taken 1. In fact, did Taken 1 have mild torturous scenes? Taken 2 did.

[Power n Glory]

The DVD has an uncut version but the cinema version they just cut scenes of action and violence so it pass as a 12a.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Totally agree mate.

[Marc Overmars]

Enjoyed Prisoners.

Gripped for most of it although I think it did go on a bit longer than it had to. Also I think the ending tried to be little bit too ambiguous when something more definite would have been better suited.

Jake Gyllenhaal was awesome as usual.

Luther/10

[Master Splinter]

Now You See Me:
Starts off well and is admittedly for the most part, a quick, fast, pacey thriller. It's a shame that the +1 twist ending basically renders it all so worthless. The talented cast is spread a bit too thin too, especially Melanie Laurent and Michael Caine who might as well not be there. Still, it's enjoyable enough.

The Wolverine:
After the downhill trajectory the whole X-Men franchises has been on since X-Men 3, I didn't expect much from this. Thankfully, it didn't fall into the gimmick overload of Origins and instead was a streamlined sidequest for Wolverine, which allowed it to be a more focused and engaging film. It didn't offer any insight into the character or do anything new for the series, but Wolverine's Day Out In Japan offered simple action/comic book/ninja movie thrills which were far more satisfying than the bloated mess of the previous three films. Apart from the giant robot thing at the end. Why does every film need a giant robot fight? It's the new bullet time.

The Conjuring:
Not as consistently shocky/creepy as James Wan's previous film, Insidious. It does seem to be more influenced by The Amityville Horror and The Excorcist, though. It's obviously nowhere near as accomplished as the latter, but there's more than enough here to raise it above the usual fodder and the intensity of the last act is tense, intensive and it has tension.

Insidious: Chapter 2:
Speaking of which........It's clearly a bit of a rush job to capitalise on the success of the first, as the often lazy script and certain cut-and-paste scenes show. Much like another not-so-guilty pleasure though, the Saw series, the diminishing returns are still of a higher quality than most mainstream horror. There are still enough solid ideas and standout scenes to escape the generic trappings and keep the interest.

[Master Splinter]

Enjoyed Prisoners.

Gripped for most of it although I think it did go on a bit longer than it had to. Also I think the ending tried to be little bit too ambiguous when something more definite would have been better suited.

Jake Gyllenhaal was awesome as usual.

Was the ending ambiguous? It was pretty clear tbf.

Yeah, gripping is the right word for it. The whole thing is incredibly downbeat and dour throughout, but the uneasiness created by the bleak atmosphere and not being sure of each characters' motivation keeps it on a knife-edge. It's a mostly straightforward crime thriller, but instead of a glossy or flashy overcoat, you get a murky one. It's that underlying, constant tension which elevates it to super quality. The best comparison would be that it's a meeting between David Fincher's two best films: Se7en and Zodiac.

Gyllenhall has quietly become one of the most reliable and consistent actors in recent years. In varying roles too. His underplaying was probably more effective than Jackman's snarling. Gyllenhall was basically in the Gilberto role, letting the other play (and cry and scream and hammer) while he keeps everything ticking over.

Anyway, one of the films of the year. Little bit Must Watch.

[Marc Overmars]

Yeah it probably wasn't ambiguous, I was just over thinking it. You didn't really get to learn anything about Gyllenhaal's character, so I thought there might have been something shady about him. Shady to the point where the audience were supposed to wonder whether he left Jackman to die or not.

Captain Phillips:
Very similar to Greengrass' earlier United 93. There's a little drop-off in tension halfway through, but the final scenes are really powerful. A very solid, if not completely brilliant, (mostly) true-life thriller. Good performance from Mo Farah too and Hanks is always reliably excellent.

Thor: The Dark World:
Another really entertaining Marvel film for the most part. It doesn't feel as compact and slick as the first Thor, but it still has the right mix of spectacle, adventure, action and silliness. Some plot points seem rushed and sloppy and not fully exploited. The villain is a bit generic and almost peripheral. But Tom Hundredstone is great as Loki again, the focus on Asgard and the other realms gives it it's own identity and it all clicks together during the set-pieces and various showdowns and exchanges. Both post-credits sequences are interesting too.

Ozil / 10

Little bit belated response, but I must tell you, the hype was not lived up to.

Technically, it's an absolute masterwork. It looks and sounds stunning. But, that's all it was: a spectacular tech demo.

It doesn't have to be a work of great depth or even slightly profound, but the whole set-up is flimsier than Diaby's body. It's so thinly-written and often reliant on really cheap dramatic devices that it feels like the mega budget didn't run to more than two pages and one Biro worth of script. It's best viewed as a horror film, with space being the creepy evil thing. But even taken on those merits, it feels contrived and not a patch on the taut horror/thriller classics it's obviously borrowing from.

Worth watching for the spectacle at least. Although Space Station 3D at IMAX or one of those rides emulating a space experience for kids are probably better recommendations.

The Hunger Game: Catching Fire:
Really good. Starts off quite slowly, but when it kicks off, it's generally bigger and better than the first and doesn't let up until the final scene. The games and the characters are more interesting and although you could pick out obvious plot holes, it doesn't really matter when it's all played out with such confidence. A bit similar to The Empire Strikes Back in that it's clearly a middle section of a whole, but it sets up the coming finale perfectly.


The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug:
It's difficult to judge this new trilogy. It still retains much of what made the LOTR films magnificent, but it's always going to falter in comparison because the core story has been abused and therefore loses it's own identity and rhythm. It looks incredible, the soundtrack is as good as ever, the set-pieces (especially the Dwarves v Elves v Orcs battle on the river and the Smaug scenes) are still several tiers above the competition in scale and imagination, but it's a shame it feels so disjointed. The additional material is so obviously out of place that you suspect Peter Jackson must have done it for a bet because it makes little sense to drag the film down otherwise. The extending of unnecessary plotlines just takes away from the main characters. It should be about a hobbit and dwarves and a dragon, but they seem sidelined for much of the film. If you can overlook the fact that the characters and story have been diluted and just enjoy it as a succession of great action scenes, then it's still very impressive.

When I saw the first film I hadn't read the books - I didn't know they were books actually, I'd not heard of the series before a friend suggested we go see the film.
Really enjoyed the first film, got the books and have now read them. Now I've done that I can't help comparing the film to the book. Overall it was a pretty good adaptation and I did enjoy the 2nd film but while the first section - the lead up to the games - was very good it seemed to me they didn't leave enough time for the games section which in the book goes on for ages. In the film it felt a bit rushed.

Overall I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the 3rd one...oh, they're making that into two films aren't they? 3rd and 4th then.

12 years a slave.


oustanding film. at times its incredibly difficult to watch but the whole film is so powerful and moving. some of the shots they used are just very difficult to watch especially when they don't use sound or have only atmospheric sounds. Michael Fassbender deserves the oscar for supporting actor IMO, thats one of the best performances from a supporting actor i have seen, he was superb

Personally, I think it could have been better with greater depth - and is it so groundbreaking to those who've seen Roots? Fassbender I agree though.

saw Railway Man tonight. its a very very good film. Colin Firth is brilliant as usual in his portrayal of man full of hate, who comes to forgive. some of the scenes are very harrowing and difficult to watch. id recommend you all see it, an amazing true story that is told superbly

[Niall_Quinn]

The documentary "Mitt" on Netflix is pretty good. Painfully shows what non-entity stuffed shirts these figurehead politicians are. Plus he's fat.

[Power n Glory]

The Wolf of Wall Street!!! Great movie!

Yeah I saw it last night, pretty good.

Went on a little longer than it had to but it was enjoyable none the less.

Di Caprio is just awesome.

Saw it today with my nephew. Fairly average amongst the top animated kids movies. Peabody and Sherman (well, it was his half term) was a lot better.

[Marc Overmars]

RoboCop.

Lacked a bit of charm but I suppose that's true of many remakes. Wasn't bad though, better than I expected.

just saw "Monuments Men" its a solid 7/10. I enjoyed it, and i think if you have an interest in that period of history, you will enjoy it. Some very funny moments/lines and also some very touching and moving moments.

Grand Budapest Hotel.

Ralph Fiennes outstanding, brilliantly funny but felt the sound in the film was awful. (could be the cinema though) was far to loud and uncomfortable to listen too which ruined the film

Stupid iPeople will happily watch the same movie twice, especially if it costs twice as much the second time around and if either are anywhere near as vomit inducing as the two other insults to film you mention then they'll be grinning and whooping and hollering like iPigs in shit.

Man on Fire with Denzil Washington was crap but I managed to watch it all the way through. China Syndrome was pretty good, haven't seen that in ages and still okay for a watch.

Few films I watched on the planes:

"American Hustle" - to be honest I didn't give it my full attention but it seemed OK.

"Her" - very good.

"Dallas Buyer's Club" - also very good.

And last night we watched "Taken" which I'd not seen before, enjoyable nonsense.

Yeah watched DBC last week, very good. Cartoon HD is killing it, have watched numerous films over the last month.

X-Men Days of Future Past is brilliant the best Marvel movie by far (in fact better than Marvel and DC). The only missing character from the original story is Gambit. :good:

[Power n Glory]

I thought the Captain America sequel was better to be fair. This new X-Men was really good but I was left a little underwhelmed by the action towards the end. Was expecting a big finale. But other than that, it was put together well. A well told story with a good concept.

[I am invisible]

I think they've got Gambit lined up for the next one, and his own series of spin-offs...

I suppose the trouble with prequels is that you pretty much know who's going to survive, so it kind of takes a bit of the tension away from any big finales? What they did well in Days of Future Past though, is to make it less about who survives, and more about which way the main characters would go from a moral point of view - I thought that worked quite well.

Also, I'd like to think that the slight time travel element has given them licence to erase the atrocious third film from history!

Did you watch the 30 sec X-men Apocalypse teaser after the end credits?

It's hard to for them to put all the action on one movie, at this stage of X-men universe there are just too many cool characters, impossible to have them all in one movie let alone one scene. :coffee:

[milla]

X-men 3 was horrible, 2nd Wolverine movie kinda bad as well. :coffee:

[Power n Glory]

Good to see they've taken a different approach. First Class was really good and this one was strong as well. But I hope 20th Century Fox return the rights to Marvel Studios. Same goes for Sony's Spiderman series. The Marvel Studio stuff has a more comic book feel to it and now everyone is trying to copy The Avengers.

Yeah, I only really remember him as being built like a tank and clad in space-age armour, but apparently it does tie in with his early days (at least according to some dorks on the internet)?
