Mokong Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 If your in anyway a comic book fan see Incredible Hulk and put the awful taste of "The Hulk" out of your memory (if you even saw that one) As for "The Departed" Infernal Affairs >>>>>>>>>>> The Departed I was really pissed how Scorcese got so much credit for The Departed when it was all done before, where was the Oscar for Infernal Affairs? To me it was another example of Hollywood trying to make people think only they can make good movies.... even if they are remakes. The only saving grace with The Departed is the small changes they made to characters and some events just enough its makes it impossible for them to remake Infernal Affairs 2 and 3, thank god.

Noodleman Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Scorsesee didnt write The Departed anyway, although he agreed to direct it before he had seen Infernal Affairs. I still prefer The Departed to Infernal Affairs having seen both 3 times now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Personally id go see Incredible Hulk. I thought it was a good movie. Havent seen Sarah Marshall though, my dislike of Russel Brand won out with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I don't like Russell Brand but you know how normally hes all FALAHALAHH! IM RUSSELL BRAND. LOOK AT ME PONCE AROUND AND SAY THINGS IN A WEIRD VOICE!...well his character is quite down to earth. The trailer makes him seem a bit like...well himself. But suprisingly not too bad. And as Wall-e was mentioned. Not out til mid-July (start of summer hols I suppose). Rubbish! Only Yesterday As the film itself is; a nice casual stroll down memory lane. 7.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Dare Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 The Departed is rare in that it genuinely improves on several areas of the original movie. For me though, comparing the two usually draws blanks. They're very different films, with their own strengths (and lets face it, very few weaknesses in either case.) I love them both.

Oxigen_Waste Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 The Incredible Hulk Extremely cool, but totally pointless. Action was good, story was totally filler with no point whatsoever to make. Norton delivered his worst acting ever, and Tim Roth, as usual, was perfect. Nice touch with Stark. One more thing, I have kind of a beef with CGI in movies. They always look so shiny... why the fuck? (except when he was in the rain, obviously). Good, but passable. Not even close to Iron Man, Batman Begins(Can't wait for The Dark Knight... except for that awfull bike) or Sin City. 6.5/10 Ok, now that I re-read what I wrote, I still feel the same, but it feels kinda harsh, I did like the movie. (Hence the 6.5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 bike Batpod. But I totally agree, its shit. I suppose removing the armor and replacing it with scaffolding is the new black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcj metroid Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 ya that bothered me a little as well. I mean the batmobile looks fantastic in the new movies you'd think they could come up with a better design or something. I hope this is where the gadgetry ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I like the Batpod design, if only as it's an original take. It looks in keeping with the Tumbler from the first film, and I always felt a normal bike was Robin's thing anyway. Plus it's add what looks like 2 flame throwers or something, to the front. (Not watched the trailer, just seen pics) I won't lie and say the vehicle designs cry "BATMAN!" at me, cause they don't, but It'd still cool and original.

Ellmeister Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 The Happening This has to be up for funniest film of the year. Me and my friends were in fits of laughter. Everything about this film screams SHIT! Everything about it is just plain wrong. I wanted my money back even though I got it on a discount. They wouldn't let me =/ For a scary film -1000000042309843094842058245/10 For a comedy 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxigen_Waste Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 The Forbidden Kingdom What a gigantic lump of turd. Seriously. Pros: - Jackie Chan Vs Jet Li, that scene made the movie. That and any dialogues between the both of them. - The soundtrack. Go Harry G.-W.!!! Cons: Just about everything else. Seriously, I thought it was seriously awfull and predictable, as well as unmemorable. Dear lord... 3.5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 The Incredible Hulk: Just got from me it from and I liked it, I have little to no love for the Hulk but I overall liked the movie. The downside to it is that good part of the movie that didn´t involve the Hulk just felt kind of "meh" and the love relationship in the movie just felt awkward and uninteresting. But the ending was awesome, Lou Ferrigno: Awesome, and Tony Stark being in was awesome but I expected more with his cameo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I went to see Sex and the City with my mum, as she rarely wants to see any filoms, plus I refused to go on the trip she wanted me to go on, so I thought i'd be nice. Having no knowledge of the show at all, it was ok. The costumes were a bit ridiculous, but original at the same time. However, I can't really be bothered with girly social politics, so most of the film just really annoyed me. FACT: My cousin's fiddle teacher is the woman who sings the old scots version of Auld Lang Syne used in the film. 5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Casshern Who are all these people? Where are we? Why are they dressed like Nazis? What's this giant spike? Who is she? Why is he in two places at once? Where did all these robots come from? Who thought "Neoroids" was a good name for something? Is it natural to think about my own mother that way? All these questions and many more go completely unanswered in this baffling Korean CGI-athon. Buh?? Battle Brothers The compelling Korean war drama film that's completely and totally different to compelling American war drama series Band of Brothers.

Eenuh Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Dan in real life Went to watch this with my cousin and sister, since we needed a break from our depressing life and have something that wouldn't require us to think. This was good for that. Gave us laughs and a ton of sappy romance. Even made me cry a bit, but then again I cry at everything so that's nothing new. Score: wheeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Dan in Real Life is awesome, really good. Superhero Movie Not as bad as people say...not exactly good though. Some of it had me chuckling quite a bit though. Just generally lacking however. + Having friend that works for cinema so gets you in on Orange Weds student ticket = whin. And I didnt even pay for that heh heh. 5.8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Closer A film which portray's modern relationships, with the fantastic Clive Owen, Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts and that other guy. Very real and keeps you hooked, but a weak ending. The Internet chatroom scene is hillarious, and I'm sure most of us could relate to it in someway 7.7/10 Is 2001 : A Space Odyssey worth a watch, or only if you saw it in the 60's? Tried watching it the other night, but I got bored quickly with it, and switched it off after 45mins. I'm guessing I just wasn't in the right mood for it.

Paj! Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yeah, I thinbk Closer is great, quite hard-hitting, and the theatrical transition allows for unusual types of acting. Love Natalie Portman in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
