November 24, 201312 yr Hunger Games 2 was predictable and mostly stuck with the book formula, in the sense that it was that "bridge" movie to the finale and those always leave you a bit disappointed and waiting for the next installment. For those who've read the books, the ending (not the substantive results, but how they arrive at them) is probably the biggest difference. Jennifer Lawrence definitely carries these movies, along with Woody Harrelson and Stanley Tucci. It was nice to see Jeffrey Wright get a chance to perform in front of a wider audience.
November 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 24, 2013 -> 09:23 PM) Wow. Finally watching Man of Steel. This movie is f***ing terrible. I was going to stick with this pile of s*** and see it through, and then it got just too ridiculous. "Clark! They're trying to turn Earth into Krypton! Won't that weaken your powers?!?!" Yes, they were "mining Earth" with a spaceship to change it atmospherically to Krypton - so stupid. And here we thought Kevin Spacey creating uninhabitable land in the last one to create new "real estate" was bad. "That's possible, Lois. But I have to try!" - Superman Also, Michael Shannon was f***ing brutal in this movie. Piece of s***. But don't worry, the sequel has Ben Affleck as Batman!

Much better adaptation from the first one. I had forgotten the details from the book but I thought they finished the same way.

Ha It seems like most of the s*** the movie gets is from fan boys. It has it's flaws, but I thought is was WAY better than the earlier superman movies. solid 6.5/10
November 25, 201312 yr I thought it was decent but could have been better. I wish "shaky camera" style would be banned from cinema forever and ever

November 26, 201312 yr http://in.bookmyshow.com/entertainment/fiv...es-sucked/26967 Don't forget the Scott brothers with their "shaky camera" style, as well as Greengrass. The runaway train movie, Unstoppable, with Denzel Washington and Chris Pine would be the perfect example. Really looking forward to Nebraska. I believe, and there's going to be an argument, that Alexander Payne might be the best "independent/small budget" director of his generation. You have Election, Sideways, About Schmidt, Citizen Ruth (very underrated and underseen) and The Descandants in his filmography.
November 26, 201312 yr I thought Superman was decent, 7 out of 10... would have been better if Superman and Lois had better chemistry.
November 26, 201312 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 12:30 AM) Saw "We're the Millers" today, actually thought it was pretty damn funny. I saw it in the theaters when it came out and I laughed my ass off
November 26, 201312 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 12:30 AM) Saw "We're the Millers" today, actually thought it was pretty damn funny. Agreed. It's not a great movie but it's funny and when on HBO, I'll probably watch it everytime I'm channel surfing and see it on in the middle or something.
November 28, 201312 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 24, 2013 -> 09:23 PM) Wow. Finally watching Man of Steel. This movie is f***ing terrible. It was definitely very underwhelming. The 2006 movie is probably better. It's unfortunate that they're dragging Batman into that s***show.
December 1, 201312 yr Trailers for Amazing Spider-Man 2, Godzilla and Interstellar will come out next week with "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug"
December 1, 201312 yr Rumors that Paul Walker died, ironically in a car wreck. Fast and Furious jokes should wait.
December 1, 201312 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 30, 2013 -> 08:27 PM) Rumors that Paul Walker died, ironically in a car wreck. Fast and Furious jokes should wait. TMZ is reporting it and his Wiki is already updated
December 1, 201312 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 30, 2013 -> 08:40 PM) TMZ is reporting it and his Wiki is already updated Than its GOTTA be true.
December 1, 201312 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 30, 2013 -> 08:42 PM) Than its GOTTA be true. It's a shame if it is true, the guy was a big part of the F&F movies
December 1, 201312 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 30, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) It's a shame if it is true, the guy was a big part of the F&F movies Sounds like it could be false which should be the end of TMZ if so.
December 1, 201312 yr Now that Walker is dead, maybe I should watch one of those Fast and Furious movies eventually.
December 2, 201312 yr Different directions to go with F&F Franchise... 1) Statham does an about face and becomes good guy/sidekick with Vin Diesel after the retribution killing goes down in Tokyo 2) Ryan Gosling, he was in "Drive" after all...and has that similar blonde/blue-eyed appearance 3) A woman....Lettie or Eva Mendes? 4) Tyrese 5) The Rock becomes the sidekick after their Bromance in the last movie...hard to imagine, since he's a US Marshall still 6) Channing Tatum....can't quite imagine Mark Wahlberg here 7) They do another version of Training Day with a young/unknown/rookie guy paired with the veteran/experienced Diesel 8) Hard to think of an Asian actor now that the main one in the series was just killed in Tokyo Drift (along with his g/f in the plane going down the endless runway scene)...Jet Li doesn't really fit, Jackie Chan's too old...and an Asian female actress just doesn't seem to fit with Diesel unless it was Devon Aoki (Tokyo Drift), which also makes less sense going forward since the theoretical 8th movie will unlikely to be set in Asia again, although you never know, they could do Singapore/Hong Kong/Shanghai.
