caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I think I actually like the second one in the Hobbit series more than the first, but you always knew it was going to pale in comparison to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Can't say it was the wrong step not to have the Hobbit first, because the interest might have waned before they ever got to LOTR. Sort of like what happened with the C.S. Lewis series following The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis series following The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. cs lewis movies were great and entertaining. with re the hobbit, it is about the action. that is why I am thinking the last one is going to be even better. the 5 armies and the battle. the lord of the rings (lotr) trilogy, was always better. I read all the books and it just grab me and I couldn't put it down until I finished. anyways, the cost of making the movie and the rtn, peter jackson needed the success of lotr to finance everything else. btw, a side note, peter jackson made their investment including salary, they made it back on the first hobbit. these last 2 are nothing but shear profit.

knightni Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Watched Lee Daniel's The Butler. It was a pretty good semi-bio pic. It's a good watcher but very Hollywood pumped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 27, 2014 -> 10:16 PM) It'd take a lot for me to go back to see a Sandler movie after Grownups. Oh boy, that was a snoozer. You'd have had to pay me a minimum of 100 bucks to go see Grownups II. I liked the first one, I will watch the second one if its the only thing on. Then again, I smoke a lot of weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yeah, Boyhood. Don't get me wrong. I liked it but when I think back, not much happens in 12 years. I get it, it's about his journey to becoming a man, but more emotional experiences could've been more realistic. Also the kid didn't turn into a good actor. Still worth seeing. I'm nitpicking.

bmags Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 What was unrealistic about the emotional experiences? I thought the criticism of realism and not much happens were more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmteam Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I thought Guardians of the Galaxy was pretty good and really funny. I don't agree with the "Best Marvel movie yet" praise, though. I liked Avengers and Captain America: Winter Soldier better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2HH Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Haven't seen it...pretty sick of the entire Marvel universe at this point, and I really enjoyed the latest XMEN movie...but I'm boycotting all superhero movies or movies based in those universes for the time being. It's just overload now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 I just love the large (cohesive) story being created within so many different properties. It isnt perfect, of course, but they have really done a great job with it. Each movie feels like its own story I saw the leaked supposedly real logos for the upcoming movies, and if they all come true, holy s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
