Noodleman Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I actually feel a little sorry for them considering they've had no big movies since the last lord of the rings. Tbh they decided to make Monster in law and Son of Mask they deserve everything they get. But anyway im sure they can just release another version of LOTR on DVD and get there money back.

ReZourceman Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 LOTR Complete Trilogy - Unseen Ring Edition Now with fifteen seconds of never before shown deleted scenes. LOTR Geek ; "ZOH MI GAWD! Need!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I saw 300 last night... I give it 6/10 - it was fairly good. The makeup was overdone, it just made things look more cg, and I think the storyline about the queen wasn't really necessary. Otherwise good.

Wesley Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 it's all there if you look and listen well enough- global social meltdown, nuclear war, pandemic flu outbreaks and massive pollution over about 25 years of so have created a dying, fascist England that the characters all live in. I liked that they treat the horror with such apathy- it shows how used to it they are. After all, why would they spend time talking about something, the only thing, that's left for anyone? it's just their reality and how they deal with it. Hell yeah. One of my favourite movies ever... i remember watching this while semi-hung over and the part where the baby starts to cry and everything goes sort of eerie quiet and then it all kicks off again and everyone's like "oops forgot! we're in the middle of something" made me feel SOOOOO ill, but it was a really amazing bit of directing - horrific and beautiful all at once. phew. I loved that part, the way the innocence of something so simple and beautiful like a child's crying could stop such horrific acts of war. Awesome film.

Oxigen_Waste Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 To all the people who want to see Golden Compass and are having second thoughts about it: Go see it. You won't live in peace until you do. Besides, you might like it a bit more that I did... I am a bit (lol) demanding, after all. Even so, you'll always come out disappointed.

The fish Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Meh' date=' anyway, the film doesn't really have an ending. Its just kind of stopped half way through. Why haven't we gone to find the girls uncle/dad? Its just strange.[/quote'] It's called "a cliff hanger". Read the books. Now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxigen_Waste Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 It's called "a cliff hanger". Read the books. Now. That's just it, they end it before they even meet with asriel on the summit, just si they wouldn't end on a sad note with roger being killed.

Zell Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Damn why did they have to make The Golden Compass crap? I'll still have to go see it, just because I'm very much obliged to in a way I was obliged to see Matrix Revolutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triforcemario Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Beowulf: Freaking awesome... CGi was a little creepy at times, and... Beowulf actually sliced off his fucking arm to reach the dragon's heart, HOW FUCKING AWESOME IS THAT?! 8 "I AM BEOWULF!"s out of 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razz Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Beowulf - Great in 3-D and overall really good I thougt. 7/10 Golden Compass, worth it solely for that EPIC bitch slap. 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReZourceman Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Bee Movie I was a little wary at first because I hate watching cinema films when the cinemas full of kids, but thankfully I didnt hear them laugh once. It was funny though...a lot of the jokes seem more aimed at an older generation, so thats pretty cool. 7.8/10 Bee + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh_gamer Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Terminator 2 A classic. Just as good as I remebered it all those years ago. You have to admire Arnie's Terminator's determination to save John no matter what toward's the end, and it's a very touching moment when he destroy's himself, seeing as he was like a father figure to John and learnt a lot of human characteristics. Noticed there wasn't any moments in the film where John and Sarah connected/communicated with one another much, which is a shame. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway get's a 7.5/10 from me. I think its the zoh mi gawd Frank Miller factor. Hes definitely overrated, but 300 is a suitably stylish and awesome flick. Its just a big fight scene, and of course the SPARTAAA epicana line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Well, I'm back from seeing the golden compass. It was pretty good, and gets a 7, but I had two big problems with it: 1. The Magesterium should be the church. 2. The film should go up to the end of the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razz Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 A tale of two sisters - Very very strange and clever, so much so that you don't realize what actually happened exactly until after the whole film is over. Great performance by all the main three actresses. Not actually that scary, but some imagery is really unsettiling, one instance in particular. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxigen_Waste Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Yep, I've read all three books a while back... what else do you think they did wrong? Maybe I've forgotten some vital storyline points that they missed out. Well... basically everything was misused. I mean, it lacks feeling, they don't properly explain what dust IS, there's no emotional attachment, the characters are made of wood (although I should add that this wood does one hell of an acting job), Lyra "loves" Iorek for no apparent reason, seen that their relationship is barely even explored, I mean, it's a fucking train-wreck! And that seen when they find Billy? Oh my god, I've never seen anything with such wasted potential. Hello, kid who lost his soul, I'll take you home. Hey, you're home, great, let's go! A tale of two sisters - Very very strange and clever, so much so that you don't realize what actually happened exactly until after the whole film is over.

Razz Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 So let's test you, what do you think happened? (I love that movie) Wow, something we agree on :P Su-mi imagined the presence of Eun-joo her step mother and took on her persona. She portrayed her as so evil and ruthless because of her despising the thought of her replacing her mother. I wasn't sure wether it was actually Su-yeon's ghost or again just Su-mi imagining. The reason I thought it was actually a ghost is because of her reaction of realizing that she was dead (the screaming) and that some force presumably killed Eun-joo at the end. Su-yeon's death was both Su-mi and Eun-joo's faults. The more i talk about the film, the more fantastic I realise it was! Definitely watching it again. But tonight I'm watching Blackbook.
