Last Movie you watched and your rating

Futurama: The Beast With a Billion Backs -7/10

Here's where I begin to lament Futurama being brought back as movies and not in an episodic format. The first half hour was great, with plenty of good laughs and some interesting plots, both of which seem to fizzle out in the very bizzare conclusion, which seem to rely more on shock and it's convoluted plot. Bender is the only saving grace in the film's second half. Something simply lend themselves to the half hour format beter than to an hour plus movie, and Futurama seems to be one of those things.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story: *** (3/5)

Full mini-review on my blargh.

[nibon]

Hot Fuzz - 5/5
An awesome comedy with a great dose of action towards the end. When I saw that it was about 2hrs long I didn't know if I wanted to watch it right at that moment, I'm sure glad that I did watch it, because those two hours were awesome!

[Shortay]

Just watched Batman Begins for the second time in anticipation of the hopefully-brilliant next installment.

Enjoyed it even more than I did the first time. A real classy superhero movie with a deep plot - 9/10

I can't wait for The Dark Knight...

[Kenryoku_Maxis]

Went and saw Hellboy II. Quite refreshing to see another movie returning to actual make-up, costumes, sets and elaborate settings instead of just throwing tons of CG everywhere and trying to pass it off as 'Fantasy/SciFi'. I liked the first Hellboy quite a bit, but this movie really did everything I think the first needed to to make it from a good comic book movie, to a 'great' one.

The other stuff though...can't really comment on. I'd be spoiling, heh. As for a rating, don't really think I can give one. I only saw it once. If I had to give one on my initial reactions, I guess 8/10.

[theUndead_feature]

Hellboy II: The Golden Army - 5/10

[Kenryoku_Maxis]

Batman the Dark Knight

Can't say much about it without spoiling it. Went to see it opening night and its a very dark movie. I don't think the kiddies should be seeing it....and yet it seems to be advertised to 7 year olds on TV. Well, if anything, you might laugh about that once you leave the theater. Its a pretty brutal portrayal of some of the classical characters we all knew, and that's after saying we all expected that.

On the flip side, it is pretty much a non-stop surprise fest with something to either try to startle you or wow you. And, like Batman Begins, it also throws in TONS of little 'Batman' related one-liners or history gags to sniff out, and all in a good way.

The movie is most definitely the epic piece we were all waiting for, but still, I can't really pass judgment on it because, it is just draining to watch. It is that dark. I feel like I didn't appreciate it all because I guess, I wasn't expecting it to be even be what it was.

So sorry guys, no score. All I'm goingto say is, to the best of my viewing, its as good as the first movie, but for being COMPLETELY different. The first movie was all about re-inventing the series and creating the Batman....this is all about putting Batman to work. But just like with any Batman story...its mostly not about Batman...but the other characters.

[Clayman]

The Dark Knight- 9.5/10

Kenryoku_Maxis is right in calling the film very dark; I was a bit taken a back at first by how graphic some of the film is. After the inital shock, though, I found that the mood of the film really fostered a deep emotional attachment to the charaters. When compared to other superhero films like Iron Man, which was far more about explosions and a few cheap laughs, The Dark Knight presents a truly involving story and gives each character a great deal of depth. The casting has a lot to do with this; rest assuared that Heath Ledger's performance is all it's hyped up to be. He truly captured the maddness of the Joker and adds excellent little quirks. The film is long, but mantains excellent pacing the whole way through. A compelling plot, excellently written and filled with twists and suspense. A must see.

I don't blame you giving it a 3/5, i would give it a 2/5. I couldn't finish watching it. It was lame.

"Nibon" Hot Fuzz was effin' funny. I love that movie.

The last movie i watched was "Boiler Room" I give that movie a 8/10

That movie was awesome. A lot of F-bombs, but I didn't care. I kinda like movies with the F-word in it. But, it had a good story behind it, awesome actors.

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

Just got back from The Dark Knight. Excellent film. I didn't really buy into Harvey Dent's "development" near the end of the film. Alfred and Lucius Fox were both splendid again in this film. Great to have those guys around. What else... Ah yes, it's significantly better than the first movie was, so good work on that. Heath's Joker really was hilarious. Hilarious character, and very well acted.

[dk_xcalibur]

I also saw The Dark Knight Friday night. I have to honestly say that this is one of the best movies I've seen in a year or two. I talked to some people that seen it before I did and they were critical about the fact that the movie is more about a group of characters and not just The Bat. I am a comic book reader and in my opinion I can say that a lot of comic books might carry a character's name as the title but the books themselves are about multiple characters and the movie stays true to this.

I'll give it a 10/10.

"Do you want to see a magic trick?"

[Pegasus]

The Dark Knight - Sure was a great movie. Can't wait for the next sequel. Heath Ledger will be sorely missed. He made a superb joker.

And before that:
WALL-E - What can I say? I'm a Pixar nut, and I loved this one. I really would like to get models of WALL-E and EVE, but not any of those crummy toy figures.

Indiana Jones - Another sequel just to have a sequel. Mediocre at best. I'll stick with the originals, thank you very much.

They obviously don't understand what Batman is about. The villains (or chaotic neutrals/misunderstood heroes/etc) often take center stage over Batman, as his character has been established since the beginning and his character development is portrayed through them.

The Dark Knight - 9/10

Dark, haunting, and brilliantly crafted, TDK is an epic.

[Jazzem]

Toy Story 10/10

An absolute classic, with an incredibly sharp script and brilliant voices. I remember everything so well, and yet it feels just as fresh now as it did all those years ago.

The Incredibles 9/10

I have quite a few friends who dislike this, which is a shame as I absolutely love it. It's consistently enjoyable, with an intriguing and ever developing plot and well defined characters.

Wall-E 7/10

I was somewhat disappointed with this. I just didn't enjoy it anywhere near as much as I was expecting to. To be fair my expectations were somewhat unrealistic, but this is Pixar...Maybe it just didn't rub me the right way, but the amount of ridiculously positive impressions going about makes me wonder if I need to see it again.

Still as that 7/10 suggests I did enjoy it. But I was expecting that to be a 10/10 Here's hoping it improves for me on subsequent viewings.

WALL-E is a pixar movie and I've hated every movie they've made after Toy Story 2. It was a step in the right direction, but not as awe inspiring as everyone says it was. A few chuckles here and there but nothing great. As far as kids movies go, nothing will top The Iron Giant or The Great Mouse Detective.

And as for The Dark Knight, it's not nearly as original as it thinks it is and it really bugs me. Christian Bale is terrible, like he's trying to ruin the movie in every scene he's in. It worked.

And you didn't think Heath's parts were some of the best in comic/movie history? To me, it seems like you aren't letting yourself enjoy the movie because you already labeled yourself as somebody who said it would be terrible. Next time a big movie comes out, formulate your opinions after viewing it.

Edit: Also, yeah. The Iron Giant is pretty much the pinnacle of animation.

Why did you even go see The Dark Knight when you said a few weeks ago that 'it'll be one of the worst movies of the year'? Surely if you were so sure that it would be a terrible film you wouldn't even bother giving it the time of day? How could you even possibly enjoy the movie with that sort of attitude before you even see it? Several questions I know, but I'm slightly confused.

Anyway, I saw Wall-E earlier. It was even more brilliant than I expected, with incredible animation and brilliant humour. Definitely one of Pixar's best, if not the best - 9.5/10.

As always, Spore is 100% correct. It sure is edgy to come into a thread like this and give Dark Knight a 3/10 ostensibly because of Christian Bale's acting!

[Slayerking45]

last movies i watched were

Batman: Gotham Knight 7/10- it was decent i thought it would be better its plot wasnt all tht good and there wasnt much acting it wasnt as good as Superman: Doomsday-8/10

10,000 B.C. 8/10- it had a good plot and there was a lot of great parts the ending kinda sucked tho but it was overall a good movie worth watching

Vantage Point 5/10- the plot sounded good but they just kept skipping around too much from character to character and stuff it sucked not worth watching

I wasn't about to miss out on The Joker, bud. That was amazing, but Heath can't hold up the whole damn movie by himself. This would also answer Spore's post, too, I believe. It was amazing, but one good aspect will not save an entire film, which is all The Dark Knight had. ONE good aspect.

Hey, I'd love to be proven wrong. I live for that. Makes me like a movie even more. It'd be great if I liked this movie, but I'm not gonna kid myself. I thought it sucked, so that's how I'm gonna rate it.

Well, let's say that Bale was the only problem I had with it, how can you have a good Batman film if the guy playing Batman is a total loser? I can't figure that out.

what are you talking about? I specifically said "let's say". Bale isn't the only problem I have with it. There were a lot of flaws. I was pointing out that Bale's performance as Batman is a little more important than the others. That's why he's the lead actor.

[dk_xcalibur]

My opinions must differ greatly from Undead's because there is no way I would rank Clue higher then The Dark Knight. For starters, I know that they are completely different movies. I have watched Clue Multiple times. In my opinion, Clue is a 5/10 maybe 6/10 movie. It reminds me of one of those movies that TV stations will play on a Sunday afternoon when there is nothing else available and you take a nap halfway through the film. It's okay. The Dark Knight is based off of comic books. I am a comic book reader. I buy around 6-7 comic books a month (that's not much compared to others) and there's one thing that The Dark Knight captures and that's the feel of the comic that it represents. Christian Bale is great as both Batman and Bruce Wayne. The only thing that he misses is Batman's sometime rude but straight forward attitude. He's the character in the DC universe who will be the first to point out another character's screw ups (Basically he's Jogurt mixed with Spore). Other then that, I think Bale does a good job.....but hey, everyone is different and has different opinions, I just won't be asking Undead for advice when picking a movie to watch anytime soon.

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

I think in Undead's theoretical example of Bale ruining the whole film he's showing that he doesn't really understand what the Batman franchise is about. Batman is seldom about Batman. It's about the extended cast of characters. Gordon, Dent, Joker, etc. Those guys get a lot of screen time. Heck, even Fox and Alfred get their fair share. Batman is another character in an ensemble. If he sucks, it's hardly enough to sink the whole thing.

Completely understandable, sir! Clue is one of my favorite films of all time. I love that high-brow humor sort of stuff. Witty banter flyin' back and forth the whole movie, plus some great slapstick here and there. It would be my example of a perfect movie. I don't think anything's wrong with it.

And it is all a matter of taste. There's no facts supporting Bale's ability or inablity to act. There's no facts supporting Clue is the perfect movie.

And Jogurt, you're putting too much emphasis on the fact I didn't like Christian Bale. First off, his part is more important. He's the central character. Without him there would be no reason to follow any of the other characters. While it's more about Batman's world than himself (and I do understand that through and through), Batman is still obviously the most important character, so it should be the strongest role. In The Dark Night I simply felt they could have done a much, much, much better job all around.

[coire]

Went to see WALL E yesterday.

WALL.E 9/10
Brilliance in animation and a nice little story to boot. A great film, highly recommended. Also, I find it hard to say that a Pixar film would ever be disappointing because they are pretty much aimed at kids. A brilliant movie and my favourite Pixar movie. A major challenge to the guys at Dreamworks studios from Pixar.

Zoolander 7/10
Funny original comedy, not the best of an absolutely filled genre, but no nowhere near the worst.

Happy Gilmore 9/10
One of my favourite movies of all time. Adam Sandler shows his great skill in the comedy field best in his early movies and this is one of the best examples.

I didn't like the actors they got for the Joker or Batman for the original Batman movie, but I still thought the movie was great. A movie can shine through without the movie having to have the PERFECT actors in every role. If that were the case, I wouldn't like most movies out there, because I'd be thinking every movie should have this actor or that actor.

And really, Jack Nicholson doesn't fit the Joker. But it was still a good movie.

And Christian Bale is fine. He's no Sean Bean, but then Sean Bean never gets the lead in movies and Hollywood plays favorites. Go watch Empire of the Sun and you'll have a much better appreciation for Christian Bale. Plus you get to see John Malkovich beat up. Its a win win.

Very seldome is a character cast perfectly. I can think of four or five off the top of my head, more if I really thought about it, but I do get your meaning. That doesn't stop Bale from being the completely wrong choice that he so is. He didn't just half-ass it, he made it a joke. At least the Adam West version was meant to be campy!

I've seen Empire of the Sun and I don't have any appreciation for Bale whatsoever, and I happen to like John Malkovich to some extent. Besides, you have to endure a bit of Ben Stiller through that movie. Ugh.

Again, this is just me, not stating that anything here is fact.

Jack Nicholson fits Jack Nicholson's Joker. There are many Jokers. Mark Hamill fits Mark Hamill's Joker, too.

That's right, they are different people. Christian Bale is no Sean Connery, either. He's also no Jennifer Aniston.

[theUndead_feature]

And Jennifer Aniston is no Sean Connery.

I'm moving on from "The Dark Knight" talk and posting a new movie score.


Into the Wild (book): 10/10
The book for me was haunting. After reading it you kind of rethink stuff a lot....or at least I have. It makes you look at things differently. Great book and it reads fast for those who don't read a lot so check it out.

Into the Wild (movie): 8/10
I just watched the movie last night after finishing the book yesterday morning. It is not as good as the book (I know what you're thinking, they never are) but it does capture the overall feel of the story. There were a few points that were changed for the movie but it didn't affect the story too much. I'm not sure I would have liked the movie as much as I did if I wouldn't have read the book first.

If you have never heard the story.....please either watch the movie or read the book or look it up on Wiki or Youtube.

[Fierce Deity]

Simpsons Movie - 10/10
Excellent movie and has all the humour of the simpsons, you cant go wrong with this movie!

[RMA]

Dark Knight - 5 out of 5.

Don't go see this for Heath Ledger - just go see it. Although he is fantastic in it, so are Eckhart and Oldman. Eckhart in particular - this really is a movie centred around Dent and The Joker with Batman almost a cypher. It's their story and amazing for it. So much going on that it needs a second viewing - and I never go to see the same film twice at the cinema.

[Slayerking45]

Futurama: Benders Big Score 7/10- not as good as the T.V show it was worth watching I had a few laughs but other then tht it kinda got boring

[Sektor]

Zoolander - 2/10

Wow, I like Ben Stiller, But this sucked. It was stupid boring and the fact it had alot of real cast didn't save it. Really bad film.

Wow a 2, thats a very generous score for it, it would have got a 0 from me.It is the worse movie ever made in my opinion.

[timp29]

I thought Zoolander was alright, but then again after a beer or two, I love those stupid comedys. Recently my girlfriend and I watched "I'm not there" a movie about Bob Dylan... or so I thought... this movie has Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett amongst others and its total crap... unwatchable. I'll give it 1/10
