Batman: Year One (bluray) - 9/10

 

An excellent adaptation of the excellent Frank Miller series. A little shorter than I'd of liked and Bruce Waynes/Batman's VA wasnt as good as I had hoped but I got used to it. DC animated features are still on a roll.

Relevant. I want this done for all movie posters ever...better than reviews!

I'm hurt! :weep:Just kidding!

 

But yeah, I must agree, they really made me laugh.

Shark Night

 

Was expecting it to be some mindless, dumb fun but in the end, just found it to be extremely dumb and a lot more stupid than I anticipated. Worst movie ever!

 

Having said that, I actually want to see this movie...

 

 

....it just reminds me of a free-running version of Battle Royale.

I just watched first half hour of The Phantom Menace. Haven't seen it since 1999, when it came out and I don't remember my opinion as an 8-year old.

 

This is absolute SHIT. One of the worst things I've ever seen. My LORD. There is not one redeeming feature so far, and I roughly know the rest. I'm gonna read a synopsis and skip to Attack of the Clones.

 

But my god, this is SRSLY awful, a crime against cinema. I finally turned it off at the scene where the children tease/talk to Anakin about his pod. The EDITING/SOUND EFFECTS. THE ACTING. THE DIALOGUE.

 

I want to burn.

Just watched Green Lantern. It's awesome, I enjoyed it much more than all the fairly recent Marvel films.

 

The 'Extended' version, which I think is the standard home release one, is way way better than the cinema version.

I used to love the Phantom Menace back when I was 9. As a result I never want to see it again as I'm near certain my nostalgia will be defecated on.

 

Attack Of The Clones however, that one I always hated. The only Star Wars film I can say that about. Empire Strike Back was my favourite as a kid and I do want to see that again.

 

My rankings as a child:

 

Empire Strikes Back > A New Hope > Return Of The Jedi > Revenge Of The Sith > The Phatom Menace >>>>>>>> Attack Of The Clones.

 

I wonder if they'll have changed.

Yeah I actually don't mind Phantom Menace too much, Darth Maul is just too incredible and the settings are kinda nice.

 

I'd agree that Attack of the Clones is the worst, I'm really not a fan of that film.

I think it's a hard choice between TPM and AotC. TPM has some entertaining scenes (podracing - especially with good headphones or a decent sound system) and wasn't as bad as what I remember it to be. AotC is awful for a huge chunk and all the Anakin/Padme scenes are downright boring, but the scenes on Kamino and everything on or around Geonosis is all brilliant.

I have no nostalgia for Star Wars (either trilogy) - The Phantom Menace is just a cinematic abortion.

 

At least Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith (which I'm watching now, and remember preferring anyway) have interesting/entertaning things happening action-wise to counter the "written-in-a-day script" and what must surely be an ensemble cast of the world's worst acting.

Just watched:

It's awesome, and quite different to the standard "college kids to camping in the woods, where there's a spooky cabin by a lake" cliché, it also puts to have many other clichés, yet in a different way.

 

If you can, watch it.
