I didn't watch the movie yet. Don't think I will. Didn't even watch the full promos because it looked corny from the tiny bits that I saw. I thought it was a misture of robocop and iron man. SRK has done so many movies, can he not tell by now if the movie that he is doing is gonna be really bad? I mean he wrote the story and he was the producer and all.

Probably has yes-men all around him that don't have the guts to tell him when he's on a bad wicket.
 
I saw Senna this weekend.

I am not really a motor racing fan and initially regretted renting it out. I spent the first 5 minutes surfing on my phone but instantly I was hooked.

Seriously, what a film / documentary. It was absolutely amazing in terms of footage, content and the full package.

Ayrton Senna really was a great sportsman and racer.

Awesome documentary, pretty emotional too. Senna was indeed a great sportsman.
 
13 Assassins

Japanese samurai film set in 19th century, a remake from the director of ichi the killer

The films about a group of skilled samurai warriors that gets assembled to kill a evil heir to the throne

The film starts off slow but catches your attention soon after. The storyline is nothing knew and a little predictable but the acting and action is good if a little unrealistic

My dvd was a shortened version, if you can watch the full film

7/10
 
Ra.one

One thing that this movie offers to Indian cinema is its visuals. Its 'almost' on par with hollywood. Other than that...its a waste of time. It has so many logical flaws..its unbearable.

1. Why create the Ra.one suit when the user can only play as G.one??

2. Why a christian funeral for a Tamil hindu?

3. So there is time for a funeral for srk..and all this while nobody realizes what happened to his best friend and why is he missing?
4. Police officer rules srk an accident with out even checking his lab?? lol..
5. So Ra.one and G.one will reach 3 level anyway..because they can be killed only by that gun? so much for a multi billion dollar game...and many more actually

Logical flaws are very insulting to the audience...but I have to appreciate SRK for working hard on this...and also for the graphics work which is the best Indian cinema has seen..and is almost close to hollywood.
Using of the same standard of graphics with a better storyline will do wonders for bollywood

...The Matrix was made in 1999 (12yrs ago)...Ra.One visuals are not even close to The Matrix...just shows how far behind Bollywood SFX are, but it is a start I suppose.

To quote some dude on IMDB:

SRK at his best Visual Wonder (better then Avatar). Arjun rocks Karrena looked so good.. Sure to break every record out there....Look forward to seeing again (just like Inception) to make sure that I got everything
:facepalm:

The film took a turn for the worst when Ra.One appeared...SRK's trying to be funny moments are cringeworthy.

I maintain SRK is an over-rated/cheesy actor..he makes a BAD superhero, in a really BAD movie.

The Adventures Of Tintin - decent but fails to capture the magic of the cartoon series- Great animation but not groundbreaking as hyped- Tintin's eyes have no life in them.

I don't understand why they decided to use animation when they could have easily made a live-action movie??

He said on a TV show a week ago or so that he usually consults with his children on his projects because "kids are known for telling the truth without thinking too much into". Either they lied to him or failed to judge the reality:boom:.
 
I thought this one was much better than the first two. But honestly, I'd rather watch scary movies at home. The theater is always full of annoying people who ruin the scary atmosphere...like the group of kids who laugh the whole movie or the person who insists on yelling things at the movie screen like, "Don't go in there! I wouldn't do that if I were you!" What do they think will happen? Do they think the characters will talk back to them or do as instructed?

I'm probably one of those annoying people :D. I get really involved in horror films, and I often start saying things to the characters. Of course, I know they won't hear me, but it's mostly due to the anxiety I'm experiencing at the time.

Good list but you could go on and on.

Why no investigation for the Chinese dude who was just hanging electrocuted in the lab?

How did the kid manage to get g1 back into reality when originally they had to out the heart in a prototype suit - this time he was made out of thin air.

What actually triggered ra1 back into existence? Did he just decide to wake up one day saw Arjun on the billboard and take his form?

How did the train station crumble? Physically how was that possible?

Could go on and on. What an absolute shocker.
 
In Time

not a fan of Justin Timberlake.. but this movie was actually pretty good, I liked the concept.. there were loopholes..in it, don't want to give spoilers..but enjoyable Sci Fi movie.. recommended

7/10

Did you watch 'RA.One' (2011)?
 
Johnny English Reborn - Pretty good I thought. Reaction of whole cinema seemed positive as well. 8/10.

Tower Heist - not a big fan of Eddie Murphy but he isn't in this too much and isn't too over the top either so enjoyed it overall. 7.5/10. Some quite inappropriate and unnecessary language at times though so don't go if easily offended.
 
Johnny English was rubbish.

Also any of you guys seen Shifty? Starring Riz Ahmed.

Brilliant coming of age sort of story. Very well made with some great acting. Killer background score as well. Not a movie you forget too easily. Highly recommend watching it.
 
Also just watched Margin Call last night.

Well made. Some big name actors who do a good and believable job. Spacey is brilliant as always.

Good thing about it was it didnt treat it's audience as stupid and didn't bother explaining all the technical lingo that is used. Provides a different perspective of the main players involved in the US economic crisis.

Yes that must have been it!

It was my lack of comprehension of the English language more than the bad and cliched slapstick jokes.

Subtle and intellectual are certainly not the two words that come to mind when one thinks of Johnny English. And what current affairs or social commentary did this insightful movie provide you?

You missed the big ones.

Why didnt G.one just kill ra.one when he had the chance to (the roof top fight) but instead he took his heart and went to India and started singing and dancing just like a normal human being.

Why does G.one talk like Khan from My name is Khan? :D

Why does G.one have a different voice while he is singing songs (akon?) :D

Lol this deserves a thread of it's own.

What happened to Akon in the movie? Just because he is black doesnt mean the audience has no vested interest in his safety and whereabouts.

Also - why did it take me 30 minutes to figure out the gender of the kid?

Why is 'superhero #1" (Raajnikath) not a game character?

Why does "superhero #1" drive a mercedes? why not something like a batmobile?

How does Kareena kapoor know who the "superhero #1" is? Didnt she say she didnt believe in superhero non sense on that car ride with her son???

Why do all the weapons stick on to "superhero #1's" mercedes?

Where was the police or the air port security when "superhero #1" and G.one were beating up the bad guys for what seemed to be over 10 mins???

What was the point of "superhero #1" and how is he related to the movie's storyline, (if there was any..)??

Why does G.one's body make robot noises in some parts and doesnt make those noises in another parts?

Why is this movie called a "superhero" movie when infact all G.one is just a game character trying to kill another game character. (okay, g.one fights the gundaas at an airport....how "original"...)

What was the point of the gay security guard scene at the airport as well as the "let me touch your boobs" scene? Isnt this a kiddie movie? :D

How can an ugly tamil guy get such a hottt wife?

Btw, I still dont get the movie's actual storyline..:D

just came to say ra one is the most RETARDED movie ever. It pains me to think that they are going to make so much money out of that piece of crap story. I zoned out completely 25 minutes into it and walked out after the intermission. 0.5/10

I apologize SAF I have no answers for you.

But I would like to add:

Why does Shahrukh think repetetive use of the word condom is funny.

Also wasnt KK rehearsing for something or writing a thesis? Why did she just up and go to India if she was in the middle of something?

Also how did she learn how to ride a train?

Also I don't even remember supehero #1?!

There are two pertinent questions in terms of RA One.

Why would anyone decide this is a good script?

Why would they even for a moment consider a sequel as a good idea?

lol! there are so many plot holes in the movie..

Raajnikanth was the superhero #1. I dont fault you, you probably fell asleep during that part.

I fell asleep as well in the end, and when I woke up, G.one was fighting Ra.one in some imaginary game land. How is that even possible? :)))
 
Hold on I got a big question..

Why is the movie called Ra.one? Isnt G.one the main character :facepalm:

Haha but the thing is I didn't sleep, physically. Mentally though I think my brain activated it's shut down function to save what was left.

I really don't remember that entire segment. That is something else isn't it.

RaTwo?

Please fasttrack the apocalypse before this happens.

Good point. While the floodgates are well and truly open:

How was this game ever designed for mainstream release as they made you believe in the movie? And who makes a game with only 3 levels?
 
Kareena Kapoor has many fans..but why? She is not even pretty.
 
I guess it's her body. I agree with you though i don't find her remotely attractive.
 
Wow:))! If Shah Rukh Khan was to read all these "question" he would collapse within a minutes:)).

Hold on I got a big question..

Why is the movie called Ra.one? Isnt G.one the main character :facepalm:

My brother wondered about the same question the other day:P.
 
..and why is SRK rated so highly as an actor?? The guy is a dud.
 
..and why is SRK rated so highly as an actor?? The guy is a dud.

Dont think he is a dud. Guy acts well sometimes...like swadesh or chak de,Don. But when it comes to romance, he overacts like hell which probably worked in the 90's but is cringe worthy now.
 
Guys wouldnt it be better to open a separate thread to discuss ra-one?
 
The Baader Meinhof Complex 2008

OscarNominated German docu/drama telling the story about the early years of the west german terror group Red Army Faction

Decent film however a bit overlong (135 mins long). the choice of actors seemed a bit poor - all seemed too good looking and in some parts the film was rushed and it became difficult to follow

Decent but not as good as its made out

6.5/10
 
The Woman - gross movie, but worth a watch.

c3bc5ddd-eaab-8ce2.jpg
 
watched Ra.one yesterday , I kinda liked it :P,thought it was funny.maybe i had very low expectations from it , its not a movie to be taken seriously,just a masala movie.will give it 3/5.(this is my first hindi movie in 6yrs)
 
How does RaOne have 73% on rottentomatoes?!?!?!

Rotten tomatoes, for me is losing its credibility. They have been giving crappy review to some good movies, and good to some bad ones. I haven't seen the movie, but I know its bad for sure because I was told that people were literally leaving after the intermission.

Shocking. Some dude on IMDB reckons the SFX are better than Avatar :facepalm:

Yes but Imdb is just full of user reviews. You and I could put up a review speaking of the hidden truths behind Hottie or Nottie (sp?).

RT is critics reviewing. I am convinced some of these critics either watched a diff movie or are being paid off by SRK.

Yeah agreed. They've lost the plot a bit recently. Not sure what's happened.

For instance their latest Top Horror Movies of all time had The Exorcist at second last (74) and King Kong as number 1. What the?!
 
Watched Fast Five, awesome movie

What I loved about this and most Fast franchise movies was the ending tells the audience that crime pays - if you're good enough to get away with it you'll end up sipping margaritas in a beachhouse surrounded by scantily clad beautiful women, lots of money and hot cars.

All you have to do is go to another country once you've committed the crime.

I swear, he has been giving out ridiculously good reviews to god awful Bollywood movies recently. For example, Ra.one: 4.5/5! and so many more (even that Ali Zafar movie)

Money talks, i guess.

Can't blame Rotten Tomatoes..their overall score is an average, made up from reviews of many different movie critics. Tbf, most critics have given it positive reviews:

I think the guy sold out a long time ago.

Pathetic and obvious, too.
 
Did you watch the scene after the credits ended????

Cant wait for the next one!

Yes, I did! I can't wait either, rock and vin diesel combo ftw :D

And SS, yes, the movie gives a great and exciting message!

Duuude! I agree with you 1000%. This guy is a major BSer. Hes all about money. He gave all these stupid movies such a high rating. I stopped listening to him. Actually, you know the movie is going to be utter crap whenever he gives a 4.5/5 to a movie.

+1
 
Lol...Who follows Taran. I stopped following him when he gave 1 for swadesh and 2 for Rang De basanti. He is the worst critic if there ever was one.

Rajeev Masand of CNN IBN is the best critic for bollywood movies. He is over critical at times...but we atleast know if the movie is good/bad.

Really? I don't watch too many BW movies but those two were exceptional - easily in my top 5 for BW.
 
Taran Adarsh: Ready- 4/5, Bodyguard- 4.5/5 :)))

anyways, I saw Bourn Supremacy today..have seen it before, but great movie :afridi

The secret in their eyes

8.5/10

Great Argentinian suspense thriller.

The lives of others

9.5/10

Superb movie, film making at its best. Highly recommended.
 
Watched Change - Up yesterday night. Extremely ordinary and boring. 2/10

Here's a spoiler:

Its a movie about 2 friends who envy each other's life (one married, other bachelor, duh) and due to some miracle (with absolutely no sense at all) their bodies get exchanged (typical one's "aatma" goes into the other guy stuff) and finally they learn a lesson in the end that everyone has his own troubles and how you should do what you like and never quit crap - the long typical "bhashans" in the end. Ya, that's right, rubbish.
 
:facepalm:

MBKD was the best bollywood movie of the year. Ali Zafar was so good in it. :malik

:facepalm: Worst movie of the year. Even himesh Reshamiya's Damadamm was much better than Ali Duffer's MBKB. :butt

Watching Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 2, will review it after having Dinner and finish the movie. :inzi
 
Ra- one, was'nt as bad as expected.time pass, one time watch. Have seen much worse movies.Its gotten overall positive reviews in the US papers, which was surprising.
 
In Time - I thought it was good, the 'Robin Hood' angle to it was a little meh though.

Really cool concept. If only they had taken the idea a little more seriously or given it to a more capable director.
 
Bad Teacher - hilarious, awesome, absolutely loved it. Cameron Diaz with an awesome performance.

A_R,how can you do that :facepalm: You have insulted MBKD by comparing it with Himesh's movie,let alone saying 'Damadamm' was better.
You're a culprit. Take your words back & fix the name of MBKD.

I guess,you're still in 'Ra.One' shock. :yk
 
LOL @ Taran Adarsh. You should ALWAYS go the other way: if he gives a 4/5 to a movie, take it as a 1/5 and vice-versa, because his perspective is of a 'typical' 90s Bollywood fan (masala & Sheela types.) I'm sure that for him Anurag Kashyap is the worst Indian director ever, to give you an example.


Watched 'Shaitan', really good. The leading actor (forgot his name) is choosing his movies with great maturity, loved 'Aamir' too.
 
And is Ra.One that bad ? Everyone seems disillusioned. :/
