I've never posted in this tread before but I am compelled to do so after seeing Fury at the weekend.

It was the worst film I've seen in many a year.

I wont put any spoilers in but it was an insult to the veterans who fought in that war. Some of the actions of the "heroes" was disgraceful and portrayed as being the norm.

The end scene had to be seen to believed in its absurdity.

And the scene with the 2 women was horribly misjudged.

1/10. The special effects were good.

Kermode isn't happy unless he's being reduced to tears by a foreign language film about a terminally-ill gender-confused hairdresser in a coming-of-age debut by an auteur who might-just-might be this

I want to watch an recently epic Chinese film with a stoner friend of mine. What would you recommend between Crouching Tiger, Hero or House Of Flying Daggers?

Seen all three but barely remember them.

I'd say Hero is the best of them, particularly stylistically. Crouching Tiger probably has the fractionally better plot but Hero's still a better film overall. House of Flying Daggers is a bit naff but still very enjoyable if you're in the mood for that sort of thing.

Re-watched The Dark Knight last night for the first time in ages. Forgot how much I enjoy that movie. Ledger absolutely steals it.

Up until hes arrested! The trilogy nose dives from there in a startling way. Hammy post 9/11 messages etc. But yeah, the first hour is incredible.

Been watching the TV series a lot over the last week.

Check out the video. Ledger did his research!

This looks promising, its an aussie mockumentary about a group of 4 vampires from different vampire eras living in a flat together, when they are getting ready to go out "on the pull" they obviously cant see themselves in the mirror, so they have to draw each other. Plus they cant go in a nightclub unless the bouncer "invites" them inside. etc, etc, etc.

If the trailer for Star Wars is excellent, I still wont be in full excitement mode, because the Phantom Menace trailer makes that film look fucking amazing.

To be fair, the 11 year old me loves Phnatom Menace.

I think if you took out Jar Jar Blinks, some of the terrible dialogue, the trade dispute context for everything and midichlorians its actually a pretty decent movie.

Ok basically I liked the lightsaber fights and pod racing* :P

*Pod racing would also be better without little Anakin Jnr being a whinny dick.

Also take out the racist stereotypes, boring characters, lack of plot, lack of villain with any motivation, monotone talking against green screens for ages, "this droid deserves our gratitude", pointless CGI fish sequence, all the stupid fucking battle droids, Darth Vader is C3PO's father as well as Luke's, Jedis wearing the same clothes that Obi-Wan wore when he was in hiding and hoping nobody would notice he's a Jedi and Samuel L Jackson being in the film FOR NO REASON.

  • racist stereotypes: Jar Jar? Only slightly I guess...but having googled it seems there are others! I never really picked them out before, everytime I've watched it I've been a bit chidlike and its just COOL ALIENS!
  • lack of villain with any motivation: I'll defend this one, its a setup for the future reveal and Maul is just doing his bidding
  • pointless CGI fish sequence: It was a cool idea but they needed a better reason to go there
  • all the stupid fucking battle droids: Storm trooepers :P
  • Darth Vader is C3PO's father as well as Luke's: Really, compared to everything else?! Its a cool way to have the robots involved :P Though with the new movies now means, that robot tech hasn't improved in about 60 years to make them obsolete.
  • Jedis wearing the same clothes that Obi-Wan wore when he was in hiding and hoping nobody would notice he's a Jedi: To be fair, he was living in the middle of the desert, mostly becoming one with the force. I bet a lot of people wore Jedi robes after they was wiped out.
  • Samuel L Jackson being in the film FOR NO REASON: Doesn't need a reason, his just sitting there being cool as fuck. :P

I think we could be taking it all a bit serious? Its a kids movie. They all are.

I saw it in the cinema 9 times mind you. I was 19 then.

There are elements of the original trilogy that are ludicrous too.

Furry, weaponless peaceful bears outsmarting and defeating the empire, an empire which has taken two whole movies to build up as invincible,

Storm troopers (with the best armour around) being knocked out with one punch or a bitch slap from a small bear,

Leahs relative indifference to her entire planet, family and friends being destroyed (her next line is the almost slapstick "arent you a little short for a Storm Trooper?),

On screen incest,

The Empire building the 2nd Death Star has the exact same design flaw,

The entire yoda scene is shit and his death is just awful. Also, Luke gets trained as a Jedi in what? A couple of days? And then hes off to have a crack at Vader? Bit of jogging, lift a few small stones and then off you go! :lol: For all the talk of the prequels, at least they showed that it takes years and years to become even a bit powerful.

The Jedi "robes" thing is one small facet of my outrageous annoyance at how fucking unimaginative and boring George Lucas made the Jedi order in these films, that's the single biggest area of wasted potential. Yoda being the Jedi boss is another example of this, Lucas, you lazy fuck.

This is the bread and butter of internet forums, you cannot fight it.

I am not quite sure why I defended it really, I do basically agree its a relatively poor movie in the main :P

Speaking of shit films..... Jurassic World will be from the teaser, jesus not only do I still not get why they went ahead with the park, (even if they had some sort of massive dinosaur killing gun I could understand) but the CGI in that trailer looked utterly terrible.

And oh there is going to be a Blade Runner sequel, that has Indy Crystal Skull levels of shit sequels written all over it.
