Re: remakes/reboots

I would say its less to do with not having new ideas than it is to do with having faith in new ideas. Movies are very expensive to make, and the big summer movies cost an average 200 million to make not including marketing. Studios need to recoup that money in anyway they can. To do so they need an ...

Re: The Hobbit : The Desolation of Smaug

I'm one of the few who still champions the decision to split The Hobbit into 3 films and i still do. While i admit it has its problems, i oddly disagree with everyones reasons for saying it has problems. While i can understand peoples fury at adding in additional storylines (which, apart from Taurel ...

Re: Gravity

Back from Shaftesbury Avenue where i swear the screen we were in was the children's playpen Visually stunning experience with some incredible direction, let down by some contrivances in the script and moments that i just kept rolling my eyes at ([spoiler]Like George Clooney Halucination AND George ...

Re: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (Tv Series)

Tons of continuity porn relating to The Avengers movies (From Cap to Iron Man 3), helping to set the tone, the timeline and the world, aswell as helping to torpedo the show towards to becoming its own thing. so am I the only one who found the exposition very forced, borderline painful? I thought ...

Re: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (Tv Series)

Very very good. Tons of continuity porn relating to The Avengers movies (From Cap to Iron Man 3), helping to set the tone, the timeline and the world, aswell as helping to torpedo the show towards to becoming its own thing. A few lines of dialogue came off as pretty poor and forced, but overall it ...

Re: What Did You Watch Last Night?

Watched a Double Bill last night of The World's End and Detention World's End wasn't as bad as i've been hearing (thankfully). Still just above the cusp of "Ok". Good structure, but not great. Ok laughs, but nothing hilarious, etc. Best thing it had was the strong character arc. Detention is just ...

Re: Movie Gossip and News

I am ambivilant about this casting. To me, stepping into a ben affleck movie (eifher directed or just solely acted), its like going swimming with a shark. There is a chance youll be safe, there is also a chance you will experience great pain. I think hes normally fine, i dont think hes fantastic to ...

Re: Elysium

I thought this was awful. This was just a mess structurally The attempts at creating emotion were just laughably bad, the messages were faaaar too heavy handed and pretentious. The script was terrible, tons of continuity problems. Really inept direction. Might be a candidate for one of the worst i ...

Re: Kick Ass 2

Went to see this earlier this evening and although it wasn't nearly as good as the first flick I still enjoyed it (sorry :oops: ). Perhaps my expectations had been lowered by the scores previously posted on this thread but at the end of the day I thought this was a solid (albeit inferior) sequel ...
