What was the last film you watched?

[SandyB]

[MENTION=140459]SandyB[/MENTION] I've not watched WonderWoman yet but the reviews have been positive, have you seen the movie yet mate? do DC finally get their formula on point or did they just recycle what already works in terms of what Marvel are doing? any unique flavour?

[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] It actually felt like Captian America - The 1st Avenger on steroids.

Still it feels distinctively DC. WW is absolutely iconic, to a level only a few in Marvel (Wolverine and Spidey maybe) can match .So DC only had to ensure they transferred the comic book awsomeness undiluted on screen . In that they succeeded , and how !

The thing you like about this is that for a movie that had such low expectations - Gal's casting, A woman directing the action, DC studio interference which messed up the past 2 films, THIS FILM NAILS EVERYTHING . The climatic battle is the only palce where you feel the movie goes below - GOOD ..! That I feel was forced by the studios.

I'm buoyed by finally seeing WW done right on screen, but they got so many things right and RETAINED THE SPIRIT of WW, unlike what happened with MoS.


And Gal Owns the role like RDJ did Iron Man. !

Must watch TBH ! You genuinely feel for the hero in this feel, it has an emotional connect which you can't explain by pure filmmaking craft alone. Logan is by far this year's greatest hero film, while Logan dismantled everything we knew of Superhero films, but WW actually takes the template of a typical Origin story , and makes probably one of the best version of it (like Batman Begins).

That's good news! DC finally get things on point then gives us a lot of hope moving forward given the future releases (although I mostly expect the Batman solo to be good for sure) [MENTION=139150]aliasad1998[/MENTION] let us know what you think of WW if you've watched it as well

Loved it. 8/10. Logan was better but this was still great. Please r surprise after all the trash DC have been releasing. Best DC movie since dark knight rises

Far too many reshoots happening for the JL film. Incidentally WW also had a lot of reshoots, but they actually made the movie better. Patty said the scene before "No mans land" where WW walk among war casualties and injured soldiers was added in the re-shoots.

Lets hope Znyder gets some sense and incorporates some of what worked in WW. I wish they spend more time on the team coming together and Bruce recruiting them, rather than the final Boss battle. Otherwise it'd be far too much like the "Avengers". JL is supposed to be the way cooler team (in the comics) . The Bruce timm/ Paul Dini's JL cartoon captured those intricacies so damn well. !

 

[leatherface58]

Wonder Woman
9/10
Great experience in theatre. Perfect casting, effects and good use of humor.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
6/10
Strong first 50 minutes, falls away with too much focus on sex and drugs. We get it. No need to show Laura snorting lines of coke every 10 minutes. Excellent performances by Sheryl Lee and Ray Wise but ultimately not a very good movie.

 

[QalandarFan]

Have always been a huge Marvel Fan been watching since the start of the Marvel Cinematic Universe start and it's great.

I never really knew much about DC Comics movies and everyone was saying that The Dark Knight series is great, so I went to watch and I must say they were 3 of the best superhero movies I have seen! Especially The Dark Knight.

Don't even categorize the dark knight trilogy as superhero movies. They are much more than that. TDK is my favourite movie ever along with the godfather. Logan, Wonder Woman, winter soldier are all excellent superhero movies but the dark knight trilogy is much bigger than them.

If you started out reading the comics or watching the cartoons you's be DEPRESSED as to how DC got it so wrong in films. While its somewhat close in the comics scene, in the animated cartoons or films DC destroys anything marvel has made.

[MENTION=137142]JaDed[/MENTION] The Original Superman, the first 2 Batman films were pretty great for their times. "Superman" is quoted as the inspiration for most of today's superhero films.

The first Batman (1989) though it feels campy now, was considered too dark for the time. It was a much bigger gamble than any of Nolan's or Marvels films, but Tim Burton pulled it off in spectacular fashion. DC lost its way in the following years.

Don't even categorize the dark knight trilogy as superhero movies. They are much more than that. TDK is my favourite movie ever along with the godfather. Logan, Wonder Woman, winter soldier are all excellent superhero movies but the dark knight trilogy is much bigger than them.

[MENTION=139150]aliasad1998[/MENTION] , Nolan made it so grounded that those films began to matter outside the realm of just superhero movies . Which explains their widespread popularity among general film-goers.

Apart from him , I guess only Logan has achieved something like that .

Mummy 3 - 6/10. Nothing beats the first installment.

 

[Hamza_]

Raabta.

Boring bekaar film. Don't watch

 

[IMMY69]

I went to see the Mummy with high expectations.

Being an Old School fan of Universal Horror Films I thought it was an excellent idea to modernise the old classics like The Mummy, Frankenstein, Wolfman etc etc. I believe Javier Bardem has been signed on to play Frankenstein. Tome Cruise set to be in all of the films.

However, what an awful film The Mummy was. So bad that it I would give it a minus 10.

Was it a a serious horror or a comedy? The script, the acting, hell even the special effects were nothing great.

So disappointed.

Because of Skeleton Key,the only difference was in this white people were doing it and in that black woodo couple and with woodo not scientific.

I hate when I can predict a movie,it was well directed but again predictable,also y r u giving it more than imdb score?

Some movies like Trainspotting, Scream, Saw, The Departed, Se7en, La La Land, Die Hard, Django Unchained, Full Metal Jacket, 3 idiots, I will give more than their imdb score and for others like Scarface, Apocalypse now, Forrest Gump, I will give less than their imdb rating. Don't get me wrong, though most of these are amazing.

Wonder woman, disappointed,not worth the hype but defn better than other DC ones.
What's with the crazy samurai from the fire bad guy graphics, Gadot was good though,but climax got me irritated again.

If anything Dark Knight has shown that special effects don't matter much and it's about the story and sets,here at least world war 2 sets were good but climax was crap.
7/10 for Gadot and humor

Looks so ordinary..a plain jane. I guess it is the herd mentality in the man children who love comic book heroes who are treating her as a new goddess.

I'd guess the third act and the overblown CGI, lack of dark moments like in TDK and Logan , and Gal's acting ?

I thought Gal was fine, she was one of the positives; surprised me big time. And not too concerned about lack of darkness, WW isn't meant to be as edgy as Logan/Bats as it is; think the movie was a little goofy at times but it was like a structured MOS which provided more depth when it came to the WW character which was good.

Lol,I think anyone who liked MOS will really love it others it will depend,but I have realized I might hate Justice League lol , looking forward to Spiderman and Defenders,the Thor in october. Somehow I ve completely become a Marvel guy now atleast interms of movies and series.

 

[SandyB]

Cars 3

Rating 7.5

Cars is unanimously considered the weakest of Pixar's franchises. But I'm a total sucker for movies about cars and pixar films in general .

Cars 3 is a surprisingly good film.! It has serious emotional depth and a good story , almost better than Cars 1, and miles ahead of the damp squib that was Cars 2.

The voice actors all do a great job, especially Owen Wilson. The supporting act (Ramirez car) does a fine job !

The animation is fantastic and pretty hi-tech especially the environments and effects.

This sort of closes the franchise off on a high. Don't think there is enough material for part 3 ..

The copies of the movie were burnt by indira gandhi's son as it was a satire on her rule. The lead character (gangu) reminds one of Modi and is very relevant today.

Maybe collectively the characters will fire as a unit? anyhow we can always count on affleck and his incarnation of Bats to make it watchable with him being their high profile lead. Man those Marvel releases are going to be a while although defenders is around the corner. I can't wait for Spidey, true MCU have outperformed DC and done DC better then they do DC although when it comes to animation very few can compete with DC beyond MCU.

Black Panther! another one to look forward to

Quite a few films were made about the horrors of the emergency in malayalam , still many are made. They never show Indira as a character though, have to imagine the power that woman wielded.! There were a lot of atrocities committed by the police in that period here,

It's not even a contest. Have you seen the DC animated feature length films ?

They ditched the Bruce timm/Paul Dini style of DC animated universe characters since past 4-5 years and have been making more comics resembling characters . The movies are excellent , with tremendous voice acting and great production values. The Wonder woman animated movie was fab, even the Suicide Squad film, which was testing the waters for the actual Live action version , turned out far better than the actual movie itself.

I do, which is why am not as hostile towards DC plus am more likely to purchase comics from them as well. Young Justice is another brilliant series you need to check out. What did you make of the Killing Joke?

Yup true, DC comics is great,tbh even the DC animated movies esp the Batman movies are really good but they seem to messing this up,guess they need to change team.

Yeah same here probably going to see Justice League for Ben Afflec,Gadot and Flash, what is surprising is Aquaman is actually someone so masculine,which is kind of unlike the character

I saw this trailer before the WW movie in the cinema, think it will be quiet the cinematic experience to behold; don't expect a complex narrative but a quality release in the action genre which doesn't try too hard like the fast/furious or transformers movies. There is a big scope for creativity, am very EXCITE!

Reading some stuff online apparently Aquaman being goofy is a big stereotype, I've not followed the character as much if am honest but most folk are glad that he's going to be portrayed by a masculine figure.

Am thinking of buying the lego batman movie on blue ray but at the same time I could probs get it another way however it's awesome to own the physical stuff as well and you tend to get extra goodies as well at times

 

[bluevision]

WW-Better than I anticipated. Pirate- it's getting worse with each sequel, still had it's moment. Fast n furious- cringe-fest.

And you are right about Valerian I want it not to go the way of universal action explosion,many movies doing that already ,hopefully its more creative.

Hearing about Valerian for the first time. Was the Graphic novel that good ? Is it star wars like ?

I love Luc Besson's work, a very non-hollywood kind of guy (french after all), so hopefully it stays away from the typical Marvel/Star wars tropes..

and WTh is Cara Delevigne doing in this film, isn't she a terrible actress ?

It's very well received and critically acclaimed, the issues were first released in 1967; personally have not come across it could be due to the origin language being french but since the comics have been put together in a graphic novel and translated in many language including English.

The series focuses on the adventures of the dark-haired Valérian, a spatio-temporal agent, and his redheaded female colleague, Laureline, as they travel the universe through space and time. Valérian is a classical hero, kind, strong and brave who follows the orders of his superiors even if he feels, deep down, that it is the wrong thing to do. On the other hand, his partner Laureline combines her superior intelligence, determination and independence with sex-appeal. Influenced by classic literary science fiction, the series mixes space opera with time travel plots. Christin's scripts are noted for their humour, complexity and strongly humanist and left-wing liberal political ideas while Mézières' art is characterized by its vivid depictions of the alien worlds and species Valérian and Laureline encounter on their adventures. The series is considered a landmark in European comics and pop culture and has been influenced by The Fifth Element and Star Wars.

Am not familiar with Cara besides the stuff she did as the enchantress in suicide squad which was fine, besides that she has not really received much of a break; perhaps this high profile role will bring out the best in he much like WW has done so with Gal Gadot, I won't be quick to come to conclusions now although I'd have preferred Scarlett Johnson as the ideal red head or Emma Stone or Milla Jovovich; perhaps they were tied up with other contractual obligations, but am still fine with this I do like it when a new youngsta beauty bursts onto the scene and potentially turns out a star making performance anyhow a fresh face can also breath a lot of life into a potential franchise given how we're already so familiar with Stone, Scarlett and Jovovich; they are also slightly older; then again Kate Beckinsale is still firing on all cylinders but the point stands with regards to a fresh face breathing life into a movie, anyhow they could have gambled with Stone plus I don't think she has made many sci-fi movies, you could look at that two ways, where she fulfils that role of being a fresh face for Valerian movies or someone who cant outlive Romantic Comedy's which is why they've gone with Cara ultimately.

Anyhow am going to watch the movie with a positive mindset regardless I could read the graphic novel before hand but I think I will leave it? movie experience in itself could be more unique.

At their best shaz619 + Jaded are a better tag team then shaz619 +aliasad/SandyB , their eyes are that of peasants, these jobbers gave WW a rating which was >= 8

Have you read the Valerian comics by any chance? and I agree, how many academy awards have been won by an actor or actress in a space opera or sc-fi in recent times? the lead do not often have a big scope but if you write them well enough then they can capture the audiences imagination; we also have to judge such movies as a whole because they come as a package and not one specific item.

It's also worth pointing out the director made The Fifth Element, the movie also inspired the volumes released in the Valerian saga beyond the 2000's. I enjoyed Lucy as well, he has a decent track record to be fair to him although it is mixed but I expect him to do good job.

 

[Markhor]

10 Cloverfield Lane - liked it until the ending which I hated. Shouldn't have been part of the Cloverfield series, the original script and ending would've worked fine.

10 Cloverfield Lane - liked it until the ending which I hated. Shouldn't have been part of the Cloverfield series, the original script and ending would've worked fine.

I watched the movie when it came out Markhor, while it was a part of the series the movie was stand alone and completely distinct with no similarities, it may have been advertised being in the same universe but it wasn't a proper sequel to Cloverfield in 2008 in fact the genre's of the two movies were polar opposite as well!

I suppose you didn't quiet like the big reveal in the end, alternatively what ending would you have preferred?

I watched the Cloverfield which was released in 2008 while I got high for the first time it was quiet the experience, have never seen anything quiet like it even now!

The third in the francise "God Particle" will be released in October this year , it's a sci-fi horror which is not a sequel to Cloverfield or 10 Cloverfield Lane; I think these guys expand the Universe within their franchise but all the movies are stand alone; which I don't mind I suppose given how trilogies do not have a big life span at times and quality can be affected.

He does have a mixed record but his movies are pretty imaginative,even I liked Lucy ,Leon,Fifth element and even Taxi which he wrote.

My taste in movies is too good compared to you guys. I agree that I overrated Wonder Woman because I was shocked DC did something decent after so long. I'd give it a 7.3 actually now that I think about it. Don't know what [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] is on about. He liked Logan more than the dark knight and said the kings speech was a bad movie because he found it boring.

Is that why you gave WW an 8 or 9 look at ali backtrack now tbh if you look at all the critical acclaim and fan rating there is not much in it between TDK and Logan, everyone has them in their top two in superhero genre. I find it hard to believe that even you would find The King's Speech an enthralling experience Collin Firth made it watchable but that's about it and am British ! [MENTION=137142]JaDed[/MENTION]

I didn't know he made Lucy when I watched it but I did enjoy that and District 13 was also excellent. Not watched firefly but use to be a fan of Stargate SG1 it may have been released during the same time period

Is that why you gave WW an 8 or 9 look at ali backtrack now tbh if you look at all the critical acclaim and fan rating there is not much in it between TDK and Logan, everyone has them in their top two in superhero genre. I find it hard to believe that even you would find The King's Speech an enthralling experience Collin Firth made it watchable but that's about it and am British ! [MENTION=137142]JaDed[/MENTION]

Most people will tell you that the dark knight is still levels above Logan as a movie. Anyone who thinks Logan is as good (and these are the minority) are simply wrong. I would easily take every single movie in the dark knight trilogy over Logan. And yes I'm backtracking on wonder women because you are right, it isn't that great and I made a mistake for once when it came to rating movies

Lets see if you are correct, these are the metrics with regards to critics and fans which are looked upon to determine a movie's reception be it positive or negative:

TDK

ComicBook.com Composite Ranking (Comic Book Movies): no.1 @ 89.14 Composite

Logan

Rotten Tomatoes: 92% (critics) , 93% (users)

Metacritic: 77 (critics) , 8.8 (users)

The Dark Knight is miles better and this shouldn't even be up for debate. Unbelievable. The critics were harsh on Dark Knight and it is still so well reviewed. That just tells you how amazing it is. [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] you forgot imdb. I wonder why?

The Dark Knight on imdb : 9 (second most voted movie on there btw with nearly 2 million votes! Astounding achievement to still be rated so high)

Logan on imdb : 8.3





The Dark Knight is up there with movieslike The Godfather and Pulp Fiction

Logan is in the league of very good movies like mystic river


But comparing the 2? nonsense

Imbd is just one source, I gave you 3 ! anyhow lets use yours anyway. Imbd also have WW at 8.3

So the levels you were pointing out accounts for a "0.7" rating greater then Logan

It is beyond ridiculous to suggest comparing the two is like milk and water, and your metric which is imbd also vindicates just that in addition to the general consensus. It is only your opinion which points out a big gulf in class but the majority both fan and critic do not agree

The 0.7 difference in IMDb is where you're wrong. See on IMDb the higher the rating, the more the difference between each rating point. See what I mean? For example, if these are two garbage movies. One with a 5.1 and another with a 5.3. Who cares? They're both equally trash. And when it comes to good movies you have mystic river which is an 8 and you have django unchained which is 8.4. Now the difference is just 0.4 however that 0.4 means a lot in this case and django is a signicfactly better movie while both are great. Now when it comes to absolute classics like the dark knight, it is a 9 and 0.7 points higher than Logan. That 0.7 might not seem like much at face value however it is really a massive difference, one that very good movies like Logan that are not classics, will never be able to achieve.

You are pushing it tbh and the explanation is not consistent if that was the case anyhow then there would be a bigger gap when it comes to RT, Metacritic and Composite Ranking as well. If we take an average from all sources there really is not much in it between the two.

[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] bro it's perfectly fine if you think Logan is as good. It is your opinion. And I won't judge you based on your wrong opinion or try to force you to believe what is right

I think it is perfectly fine for you to feel the way you do as well but was merely just pointing out that you're wrong when it comes to the whole "levels above" argument and how the majority support that view when the consensus suggests otherwise.

[MENTION=139150]aliasad1998[/MENTION] the Imdb ratings have an age bias ,not sure how the algorithm works that out,for example the ones below 25 are very high,so something that might be enjoyed by 40 yr old might not necessarily be enjoyed by 23 yr old,still imdb rating will be dependent upon the number of ratings.
[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] personally for me Dark Knight is the best, irrespective of imdb but the thing is I don't exactly consider it as a superhero movie because the villain easily overpowers the superhero,it almost feels like the name of the movie should be 'Joker's tale' than dark Knight.

And WW at 8.3 is a big joke for me because at best it should be 7.4 ,but I expect WW to come down just like Avengers came down from 8.7 to 8.1 unless the female raters are pulling it up.

Watched Salman Khan's latest film Tubelight.

One of the worst films I have ever seen.

Terrible acting, terrible storyline.

Avoid this film.

1/10.

Saw the trailer and knew it was garbage. Gave up on Bollywood.

 

[leatherface58]

Hacksaw Ridge
9/10

Amazing performances, brutally realistic war scenes and a great message help overcome some cheese and one-dimensional portrayal of Japanese and the women. Mel is a great director and this movie proves that.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Little know indie horror flick. A gem. Well worth a watch [MENTION=95766]leatherface58[/MENTION]

Little know indie horror flick. A gem. Well worth a watch [MENTION=95766]leatherface58[/MENTION]

Excellent movie. So much suspense without doing silly cliched horror stuff like moving around in the dark. I liked the low-key, restrained feel in the first half before bad stuff starts happening but the movie is still very good. They also chose a really proper actress for the Jane Doe role if you know what I mean

Dangal ,its on netflix check it out.

Does Netflix India show the India censored version or the International version of films/series ?

I remember Amazon India cutting out 20 mins of a "The Grand Tour" episode of 50 mins length, beacuse they showed a car decorated with meat that included beef.

 

[Smbhayi]

We Go On. Simply out standing. I do like drama type horror movies like Sixth sense or Get out. This one too like those, a convincing story, good direction and very good performance. worth watching.

 

[leatherface58]

Witness for the Prosecution (1957) - Directed by Billy Wilder.

Amazing courtroom drama about a lawyer trying to get his client exonerated from a murder charge. A very witty movie and engaging mystery with some of the most shocking twists ever during the last 15 minutes. A final twist kinda goes overboard but it is still an excellent movie. The use of Chekhov's gun is truly very well-done here.

9/10

Life - 7/10 - Decent sci fi flick.

Drone - 6.5/10 - Sean Bean is great as always. The film is about drone strikes in Pakistan.

Hindi Medium - 7/10

Tackled the issue of inferiority complex in children and their parents with respect to their control over English. I think they tackled the subject very well along with some good humor. All I will say is it was a little over done and over the top but a good thought provoking movie. Saba Qamar who is the leading actress, a Pakistani does a great job. Irfan Khan as usual was very good as well.

Saba has done a good job as expressions ,body language but the issue was her accent had a massive urdu touch ,considering it was supposed to have the Punjabi tone of Delhi.

Just watched Inception - 10/10 and Shutter Island - 9/10. Great great movies especially inception. Plus Leonardo Di'Caprio is a great actor and his presence just makes the movie better.

Also watched The Departed - 9/1010 just don't like how DiCaprio dies at the end, but a very good movie indeed.
