NorthSideSox72 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 18, 2014 -> 01:06 AM) I thought Godzilla was f***ing terrible. Unbelievably boring movie. Glad someone else agrees with me here. What a disappointment. Horrible writing and dialogue, so-so action, just painful to watch overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Movie selection f***ing sucks these days. My wife and I are taking the day off work tomorrow and the kiddo gets to go to day care. Free parent day. Everyone rejoice. How to spend our free time? Let's go see a movie in the theaters for the first time since last fall. My choices are s*** (all comic book movies), s*** (Million Dollar Arm, the movie with the three chicks and Jamie Lannister, Rio 2) and a movie I do want to see (The Neighbors) but refuse to pay 20-25 bucks to see when I can watch it for a $1.50 in 6 months. So our choice is Godzilla, which I'm mildly excited to see. But it's going to cost us $40 bucks to see a movie that comes with a 50% chance of being awful if what i'm reading is true. Can hollywood please just come up with some original ideas for the summer? I saw a lot of the Oscar nominated movies last year and they were mostly good. But summer blockbusters are always f'n terrible. Just make some good, non-comic book, non-reboot action movies. Is that really too much to ask for?

No comic book based movies, and no re-boots or sequels. World War Z was the only one that I could think of from last year. And it sucked for the most part. Edit: ok here's a list from 2013: http://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?yr=2013 I'll admit Catching Fire was good and I enjoyed it, despite being a sequel. Gravity I also enjoyed a lot, although it wasn't really a summer blockbuster, nor was it all action, but whatever, throw it in the mix. What's next? The Hobbit, haven't seen it yet. World War Z, sucked. Captain Phillips? Eh, ok, I liked it. Elysium sucked. Lone Ranger sucked. Oblivion sucked. Olympus has Fallen looked terrible. Didn't see Pacific Rim, heard very mixed reviews. After Earth sucked, I made it 15 minutes before turning it off. What else did I miss that would be considered a good summer blockbuster?

GoSox05 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Yeah, Hollywood is going to stop making comic book movies. They only make billions of dollars. I think comic book movies make great summer blockbuster movies. What should we go back to making summer blockbusters like Armageddon and Wild Wild West.

You see, there is a difference between action movies you don't like and don't want to see , and no action movies. And you complained about none being original and a few you just listed were original.

caulfield12 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Will see X-Men tonight here in China. Reviews have been great. Godzilla was borderline terrible to me. Some pretty polarizing reactions to that film around here. I like the description of the MUTO's as overgrown staplers with spindly legs. Their heads reminded me of the Atlanta Falcons' mascot. I won't go so far as to say the 1998 version with Broderick/Jean Reno and a now-forgotten actress as tv reporter/ingenue was better, but that wasn't close to as good as Pacific Rim. Were you referring to "The Other Woman," about the movie with three girls/chicks, including Kate Upton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) X-Men will be fine, from everything you read. Godzilla was terrible. The MUTO's looked like overgrown staplers with spindly legs that were bootlegged from a discarded Atlanta Falcons' NFL helmet design from a decade ago. The lead actor made Freddie Prinze, Jr., Orlando Bloom and Ryan Philippe look like Masterpiece Theatre thespians extraordinaire. I think I would actually rather watch the 1998 movie again rather than see that particular film a second time. As far as movies to be excited about in the future, try Nolan's INTERSTELLAR.

When the screenplay is derived from a book written by a Cal Tech professor (Kip Thorne), you know it's going to be pretty deep stuff to digest.
