Thread: last movie you saw - and what did you think of it?

Scarface and 2 mules for sister sara, both are definetely 9/10. Good old classics which everyone should have at least seen once.

And I assume everyone's obviously seen Shawshank Redemption. If not, watch.

Dark Knight Rises was a good show. Batman still sounds less like his voice is deep and gravelly and more like he smokes 10 packs a day though.

But Anne Hathaway strutting around in leather was worth the price of admission alone.

I watched What the #$*! Do We (K)now!? last night.
Aside from some of the cheap animation ...this documentary is life changing!

With the wide range of information, it is a must see!

Just saw the Dark Knight Rises.

Very good. Some parts were a little slow and unnecessary, but the climax was riveting. Bane was a much more interesting villain than I thought they would make him. Still not all that crazy about Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. I think she did most of her better work while out of 'costume', and playing her alter ego. I will definitely credit Nolan for stepping up in the action department (as far as how well it's shot), but there are still those moments of 'WHY THE FUCK IS THE CAMERA SO CLOSE???' which pretty much plagues most of his action/combat endeavors. Love John Blake's character, which made me like JGL even more as an actor, when he was already my favorite character in Inception, despite his straight-man role in that one.

Movie was a bit contrived at times - probably more-so than any other film in the series - but it was good.

I don't know I think Dent's voyage to Two-Face was the most contrived batman has to offer. I can't even think back to anything in particular that compares with that, except...

Spoiler for dark knight rises:

...the whole city going crazy in a bolshevik fever.

I found the plot extremely predictable though, and I agree the movie appeared to drag, mostly because so much story develops after the end of the second act, making it a very long and convoluted transition between the 2nd act and the actual climax.

Léon: The Professional - 8/10

I'm watching so good movies these days and this isn't an exception either I won't give away anything, but it's worth the watch for sure ^^

Only 8? For shame. For shame.

Dark Knight Rises was amazing. So much better than I was expecting. And what a brilliant ending!!

I didn't want to give a 9 twice in a row But 8 or 9 doesn't change anything for me, i'm not a professional critic

I watched Dark Night Rises yesterday. I normally don't go to anything that is not in 3D anymore. I usually just wait for the 2d Blu-ray. But I made an exception for this one and was disappointed. It's too long, too slow, boring. Very little Batman action. The couple Batman fight scenes look slow and cumbersome, comical even. Batman hardly did anything in this movie, actually.

As an average action movie it would have been okay had they not dragged it out so long. But as a super hero movie, where one wants to see cool super hero action, it fails big time. And for a supposed climax of a trilogy? Pretty lame.

I saw The Amazing Spider-Man in 3D.
It was so much better than any of the previous versions, especially with the first person shots experienced in 3D, made it worth the extra price of admission.

Now I have a new goal to be Spider-Man in a Lucid Dream!

I can relate to this. The thing is, I stopped looking at the new Batman franchise as 'action/superhero' movies after The Dark Knight. I think Batman Begins skirted that line between superactionheromovie and drama, but the Dark Knight is what really made it into more of the latter, so it's pretty much what I was expecting when I went into The Dark Knight Rises. Coincidentally, I think that's what made me enjoy the (well-done, I think, for the most part) last battle sequence/climax of The Dark Knight Rises. Not without its flaws, clearly, but much better than the ending of The Dark Knight.

I watched Total Recall last night. I had expected a lot from this one and it was even better than I thought it would be.

Though the interesting part of the whole experience...
There was this commercial for the Samsung Galaxy SIII, where the guy ties up the projectionist just before the movie trailers started; and goes on and on about the phones features and what not, but at the end of the commercial, he had announced the spoiler that the whole movie is all a dream.

And I was like OH SHIT RC RC RC!
The thought that it was a dream had blown my mind throughout the entire movie--which only intensified the experience more. Especially the ending.

Also, I was fairly surprised in how far Len Wiseman went in taking the ideas of how real are memories and the importance of the present over the dwelling on the past. The depth of these ideas presented in the story created an even more personal value.
I will definitely be considering on owning a Blu-ray copy when it releases!

Saw the Dark Knight Rises and it was good.

Ong bak: muay thai warrior is in the my top three movie's it absolutely brilliant. The fighting and stunts are absolutely amazing, along with a superb storyline, well developed characters and hilarious moments between the fighting. Here's the unreal trailer.
If you haven't seen it now, stop whatever you're doing and go get it.

Mean Girls (for the 20th time) is definitely a new classic. It's one of the best things Tina Fey has ever done.

The last one I saw in theatres was The Avengers; it was a pretty great combination of all of the lead-up films.

The last BAD film I saw, Season of the Witch. I shut it off after 20 minutes. It was the first film I've shut off because I just couldn't handle it.

Transformers 3. the CGI is excellent but the plot is not that memorable.
Ice Age 4. Great Movie, 2nd best movie in the series(ice age 2 was the best imo)

Idiocracy - 5/10

I thought that it'll be more funnier, but still worth to watch once...

Next - 7/10

Yeah, this movie could've been way longer. The idea of seeing 2 minutes into the future was interesting, but since the movie was so short, they couldn't really put all into it that could've been done if say it would've been at least 2 hours or longer.

But still, i found it to be fun.

Batman dark knight rises, really good IMO.
Love it when batman comes back, and 50% of the time i was feeling bad for him. But don't want to spoil it for anyone who wants to see it.

I sooo want to watch that!! I love the old movie as well.

I just watched Youth in Revolt. The soundtrack was excellent for the film. The characters were a bit too "larger than life" for my tastes, but it was a book converted into film, so I'd say 6/10.

Face/Off - 6/10

The idea was good, but the implementation.... i felt a bit bored at the end of the movie... it got all too predictable.

Ted - Pretty funny, over all the story was a little too cliche to really enjoy but the characters were awesome and there were a couple of scenes that stood out as fucking hilarious. I definitely enjoyed it a lot more than the next one on the list.

That's My Boy - Pretty fucking irritating to sit through, terrible script writers. There was a lot of good ole fashioned happy madison humor, good for fans of old adam sandler films because he went back to his old style for this one, like little nicky, big daddy and waterboy level humor. But yeah, sometimes you just want to know what the fuck the point is and why you're watching this stupid shit.
