Movie Reviews

Alright, this thread is for people to review movies. I'd prefer for it to stay with those in theatres or that have just been released on video, so movies that are older than that should only be reviewed if someones asks about it. Example-

 

Collateral (starring tom cruise and jamie foxx) is within limits,cause its in theatres.

 

Indianna Jones- only can be reviewed if someone goes like, ' can anyone tell me if Indianna Jones is any good' or something like that. I havent been to the movies recently , so its up to one of you guys to start the reviews. dont summarize the movie ,cause that can ruin the movie, but just say how you like it and why or why not, if saying so doenst ruin the movie.

Ok heres one:

 

The Village:

 

Very dissapointing. In fact I found it funny how after the movie was over, everyone was just sitting in disbelief of how crappy it was, you should've seen the looks on their faces :rolleyes:

 

Imagine a Stephen King movie.

 

 

Now imagine it half as long with a couple BAD plot twists and a crappy ending.

 

Believe me, you are going to see a completely different movie than what you expect.

 

Rating: 3/10

The Village: AWESOME movie, typical M.Night Shyamalan movie. Good suspense, neat idea, very cool cinematic style.

The best part of the movie is the parallels and symbolism it has to religion and politics will REALLY make you think a few days after you saw it.

 

It also has some moments where I was absolutely scared out of control.

 

8/10

I saw 2 movies in the past week:

 

Shaolin Soccer

This movie was made in China a couple years ago and finally got released in the U.S. It's Hong Kong Kung Fu movie meets underdog soccer movie, and fantastically done, I was laughing the whole way through. Impressive effects and you just can't help but laugh at a lot of the random humor of Chinese Pop culture. It's playing in very select theatres, but probably on video soon...

 

my rating, *8/10*

 

 

Napoleon Dynamite

Now this movie was just F'n funny. Instantly became one of my favorite movies. It deals with high school social structures, outcasts, weird small town america, but most of all how funny dorky people can be. I laughed LITERALLY the entire movie. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. All I will say is the last 10 minutes has one of the funniest movie moments I have ever seen.. Hilarious acting and an exceptional soundtrack of old 70's and 80's songs.. Simply FANTASTICO

 

my rating, *9.5/10*

Quanitity should never get a strong point on a limited board.

Ive seen a few bad forum reviews i thought it was bad, but then others saying it was great and the bad come because they expected something else. i would see it were i in the theaters

Spiderman 2- A really good movie. I saw it twice actually, and while some say its as good the second time around, I disagree. A lot the movie is built on suspence, so its not as good the second time, but man. The first time it was really good. Good special effects and good acting. It also builds up for a third spiderman film.

 

 

Oh, and I'm gonna probly see the Village this weekend, and I'll tell you how I thought of it. I want to now see Napoleon Dynomite and Collateral.

Saw Napoleon Dynamite. I didn't think it was very good, there were some very funny parts. But I thought the movie was overall very boring. The funny parts were great, but they were few and far between. On the other hand all my friends love the movie and say I'm stupid for not thinking its the funniest movie ever. But thats just my opinion, I really don't like it though.

Kung Pow is a good film, I saw it with some friends and we were rolling around laughing. You have to watch it with friends though, or else it just isn't funny.

 

For those who don't know, they got this Kung Fu film, changed the main character and redubbed everything so it completely changes it.

The Village.

 

I just saw the Village half an hour ago or so. Great movie. Very well thought out. But it was too hyped up. It was made to be too complicated. My friend actually guessed the ending unintentionally without knowing he had guessed it at the very very beginning. I'd give it a 7/10

im gonna stray away from the thrillers for a moment and go towards the comedy spectrum (exluding napoleon dynamite, of course) and go with Anchorman. The funniest movie i've seen since, well Dodgeball. But the highlight of the movie is when all the news stations have that street fight in that alley, with will ferrell, ben stiller, luke wilson, vince vaughn, and the best, tim robbins. SEE THIS MOVIE!

Dodgeball and Anchorman are high up on my rent list, but I wanna see Napoleon dynamite soo bad. it looks hilarious. I saw a preview and hes like, 'Hey you guys, check out my movie, you can see my awesome bike jump,' and it shows him hit a tiny ramp and fall. 'or my secret ninja moves I learned from the government' and he slaps his friend then runs away. it looks so funn.y I want to see it. maybe next weekend. I just hope its still in theatres then.

Saw The Village last night and must saw it was something to expect from M Night Syamalan. While here in Belgium it isn´t hyped up a lot of people went to see it in its first week.

Must say it wasn´t a bad one. Not as great as Unbreakable or The sixth sense, but still good none the less. The paralel with the real world, the driven fear during the whole movie, the symbolism of the colors,...

I kinda like these movies as they aren´t six out of a dozen. I mean, today there are soo much movies but most of em are just average. Money sucking, time spending.

ok, now movies anytime. doesnt have to be new.

 

Untouchables- Just saw that again after a few years. Great Movie. This is the best ganster movie, IMO of all time. It recalls how Elliot Ness (real guy) took down Al Capone with a group of people called the Untouchables. (not exactly true. he had a group, but it wasnt only 4 guys, and the chracters in the movie werent actually actual people) The movie has great gunfights, a good plot, and a real good sense of what went on. I'd recommend it for kids and adults (not really, peoples heads get bashed in with a bat and stuff, so pretty much not for kids)
