ReZourceman Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Sweet man. I was going to see that, but opted for (500) over it in the end. I still want to see it for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPAMBOT4000 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Right, think I'll do mine. Shouldn't take too long as I didn't see many movies at all this year Slumdog Millionaire The very definition of "Overhyped". It was alright but not the movie I wanted to see. As someone else said, too much destiny crap and cheesiness. I really don't mind cheesy films as long as they're aware of it but I think this thought it was something more. I was impressed by Dev but only in comparison to his performance on Skins. It wasn't as stand out as it was made out to be. I thought the millionaire question plot integration with his life story was going to be a bit cleverer than it ended up being. I thought that part was a great idea that they could have done more with. A bit too long. 6.5/10 Watchmen As a fan of the comic, (or 'graphic novel' if you must) I loved this. Such a perfect film recreation of a book. There were SO many shots that I just instantly recognised and I completely geeked out over it. I can see why he changed the ending but I am NOT a fan of the film version. I did get the feeling though that if you hadn't read the comic then you could be a bit confused about some of the plot. I think it jumped about all over the place which certainly confused my non-geek mate a little. That said, he still enjoyed it. 8.5/10 Half Blood Prince Alright. Big fan of the books and I'm rarely a fan of movie versions of any book so it was never going to be amazing in my eyes. I don't see the need to make films of perfectly good novels as my imagination is way better than anything than they can produce on screen. Obviously there are a few exceptions but this wasn't one of them. That said, as Rez mentioned, Malfoy was excellent and is the clear stand out in the cast. He's grown the most as an actor by far and that's been interesting to follow. 5/10 Moon I wanted to like this SO much and I did but... it felt about an hour longer than it actually was. Really seemed to drag, could have been just how I was feeling on the day so I'd be willing to give it another chance. It felt like the whole film existed for the twists and turns but I seemed to 'get' everything right near the beginning and spent the entire film waiting to be surprised which... I wasn't AT all. 6.5/10 Star Trek Great! Excellent and clever reboot. Very much enjoyed it. God bless JJ Abrams. 9/10 Bruno Funny. Not as clever as Borat though and I'd seen most of the best 'punchlines' from the trailer. I think it relied a little too much on the crude LOL COCKS, GAYS, NAKED MEN, AND BITCHINESS gags though. Sacha Baron Cohen is funniest when he's doing the clever subversive shit. 6/10 Up Stunningly beautiful. Very moving. Very funny. Pixar at their best. 9/10 Avatar Absolutely adored this film. I know the plot's a little obvious and the villain is a little over the top but I just loved every single second. Can't wait for the dvd release. 9.5/10 I think I've seen a few more than that but I just went by what others have on their lists to jog my memory. It wouldn't have been anything stand out. Definitely saw some absolutely atrocious films around the time of Up because I kept getting pissed off that my friends wouldn't go see Up but wanted to see utter shit. Also got a bit bored of writing half way through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chairdriver Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 The first 10 minutes of Up is the best thing I've ever seen. Genuinely made me cry. I really liked September Issue aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
