Skyfall: pretty darned great. Only had a couple problems, but I liked it almost as much as Casino Royale.

You don't think its much better?

Its my new fav Bond movie.

In terms of portraying Bond as a broken human who walks a very thin, self destructive line, it was better than Casino. It felt less grounded, and edged toward absurd action more than Casino, and I was less fond of that.

Quote

- Imagine a Nolan story with Snyder effects/action.
- It's the best movie of the year.
- There's TONS of action with Superman kicking all kinds of ass in his suit.
- The cape is CG'd most of the time so it can look awesome.
- They have intentionally left out most of the the Super action in trailers to save it.
- It's not nearly as dour and serious as the trailers suggest.
- The movie is complete, minus the 3D post-conversion, which is currently taking place

Lol, I'll believe it when I see it. I remember Superman Returns having similar hype trains.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #16270 on:** February 27, 2013, 04:07:09 PM »

Sounds good, a Superman movie definitely needs to have a ton of big action scenes.

Im hyped as fuck. But I'm a pretty big Snyder fan. Haters be damned. He always entertains me.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #16272 on:** February 27, 2013, 04:26:48 PM »

Snyder's great on the visual side, just needs somebody writing a strong script for him.

Not someone I would consider being a strong writer, unfortunately, but maybe enough of the Nolan influence rubbed off on Goyer to get him to turn in something decent.

DREDD: better than it had any right to be, and I would love if it got a sequel. I was a little distracted after I realized Karl Urban was doing a straight up Clint-Eastwood-as-Dirty-Harry impression, but now I plan to read all future DREDD comix in 'dat voice.

Watched a netflix thing on Jonestown.

http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/American_Experience_Jonestown_The_Life_and_Death_of_Peoples_Temple/70058891?locale=en-US

Was pretty good. Kinda heart breaking as a lot of the people involved and affected are still alive. I knew the basic details already but it did help fill out a few gaps in my knowledge.

Also watched Marathon Man which I had obviously always heard about but never seen. I compare it to something like Drive in that it was a lot better than I expected compared to drive being the opposite. Different movies of course but Marathon Man exceeded my expectations. Was really good and a nice 70's tense thriller.

Rock of Ages - Rented it because it was free. Must have been free cause anyone who rented it would demand their money back. Turned it off 20 minutes in.

Savages - Not bad. Not good.

Ted - Had it's moments but meh overall.

Watched drive last night. Thought it was decent enough but not as good as I had expected based on the reviews. Decent movie that I will completely forgot ever existed in a month.

I did like how it had the pacing and sort of tone of a 70's movie.

Cool as Ice - Rifftrax

Average riffing, but the movie itself was as retardedly funny as you'd expect. The best riffs were when they kept mixing him up with Snow or House of Pain, and the random TMNT 2 references.

I've been meaning to rewatch Marathon Man for a few weeks now. I'm happy to hear it's still entertaining.

OTOH, I am sad if Savages turns out "meh." I've read the book, and had been waffling on a rental for a while now.

Reading up on Amazing Spider-Man 2 stuff since I missed it up until now and they're cramming a lot of new stuff into it. Electro, Rhino, Norm Osborn, Harry Osborn, MJ, (presumably) Daily Bugle, and some other teases. Plus (first movie spoilers)

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Conners/Lizard is still alive.

I'm guessing there will be an Amazing Spider-Man 3 at some point or this is a bit much for one movie.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #16295 on:** February 28, 2013, 10:07:08 PM »

i would be SO DOWN with it if they just fast-forwarded through all the origin sequences and were just like HERE IS A TYPICAL FUCKED-UP DAY IN THE LIFE OF SPIDER-MAN and showed him thrashing around aimlessly in a seemingly infinite sea of crazy costumed villainy for 2 hours, quipping like crazy and emerging triumphant

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #16296 on:** February 28, 2013, 10:20:39 PM »

I want a Spider-Man movie based on the newspaper comic. It will be 30 minutes of Spider-Man getting clonked on the head by bad guys, 20 minutes of Peter Parker whining about Mary Jane's successful career, 30 minutes of Peter Parker doing nothing, 15 minutes of some other superhero being a better superhero than Spider-Man, 5 minutes of Peter Parker being a smug jerk to some lowlife thugs, and then the bad guy escapes from the police after finally being captured because whatever.

How the HELL is this showing up front-and-center on Apple's trailer page? It is getting cross-linked from other Trailers, and it's on the Opening Soon list, but how the hell does a piece-of-crap like this even get released?

Also, TSOG shows this is some kind of Libertarian-made movie; if this is how they'd run the post office and fire department privately, people should get ready for a world of undelivered mail to burned down houses.

Wasn't that just Spider-Man 3? Although it was a lot more than 5 minutes of Peter Parker being a smug jerk to lowlives.
