gaggle64 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 You're so right, the villain didn't really have his own personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 The best Batman film is clearly Batman Returns, anyway. Clearly! Michael Keaton, THE best Batman. Danny DeVito as the Penguin, Michelle "phwoar!" pheifer as Catwoman and also Christopher Walken. Hows that for a lineup. I love the setting, so gothic. Very Tim Burton. Great scripting, and a wicked sense of humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Batman Begins was awesome, it really reminded me of the atmosphere of The Animated Series. Katie Holmes is a bit shit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 For me, no one can ever replace the great Jack Nicholson. £10 says that there's a homage to the great "mirror" sequence in the next movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the extremely boner inducing catwoman performance, I'm going to say that Begins is the best batman by some margin, unlike the burton movies it's actually about batman.

The Bard Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Shawshank Redemption. 10/10. Brilliant on so many levels. Utterly mortifying, depressing, yet with such a hopeful ending. I'm no film critic, but I know what I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodleman Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I just watched The Devils Backbone and I dont know what to think. I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it but it was nothing like what I was expecting mainly because I reatrdily read the synopsis to Cronos instead of The Devils Backbone on the back of my Del Toro boxset. Worth a watch anyhow ??/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killthenet Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Bande A Part Bizarre Jean-Luc Godard film. Based around the theory that "all you need to make a film is a girl and a gun". Really enjoyable film, works entirely on dream logic - like the narrator has been watching way so many Film Noir' flicks that they actually become incorporated into his dreams. The film looks beautiful and so does Anna Karina. What more do you need? IHEARTTHISFILM/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Constantine Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Pirates Of The Carribean The Curse Of The Black Pearl. Funny and exciting, I'd give it 8/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konfucius Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Casino Royale Got it on DVD yesterday and what I didn't notice in the cinema, during the first 30 minutes or something is more or less constant action and Bond talks very little, however, his character is very well shaped by his actions alone. I think the character of M was also fleshed out a bit more and the villian was brilliantly arrogant yet not super human (unlike in the last few films). I also really liked the dialogue, they're not very life-like in some situation but sharp and short as you'd expect of Bond. I also think Craig's voice reflects the character of Bond very well (I saw a dubbed version in cinema and that didn't fit). The soundtrack is also genius and the remixes of classic themes feels really good. Everything has a more realistic feel to it and especially the fight scenes look really great, you can see that they are trained in hand to hand combat instead of looking like they got their experience from fighting in pubs. 9.5/10 (only surpassed by Batman Begins :p) Flyboys I'm not sure I actually should rate that film as I only saw the first half but it bored me that much. The characters are cliched, the dialogue is uninspiring and boring. It tries to be a war film but fails to actually shock and air fights feel rather confusing and unrealistic as well. The writers better had played some Command and Conquer before so they actually knew something about warfare. What ultimately killed it for me was the Flak. The explosions only shook the planes instead of ripping parts off. And the same boring score got repeated all the time. If you don't feel the need to see James Franco in a lead role you can easily miss out on that one. stopped halfway through/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triforcemario Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hannibal Rising. Pretty damn awesome, and worthy of the title "Hannibal -----". The actor who plays Hannibal is the next best thing to Anthony Hopkins himself, but the movie ends on a bit of a loose thread. 9/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triforce_keeper Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 300 FANTASTIC! I loved this, even though usually I don't like things like this. Alot of battle, very gruesome, but very very good. 9.5/10 GO WATCH IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariosmentor Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 The Good the Bad and the Ugly and A Fistfull of Dollars Fucking classics. A+. Sergio Leone's westerns are the pinnacle of entertainment. also Cheech and Chong - Nice Dreams Classic stoner movie. If you are level headed watching this it may just be a pile of piss. If the level in your head is a bit off balance though...comedy ensues. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyellowbloke Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Amelie- I've seen it loads of times before, but it still makes me feel all gooey inside. It's just so quirky, funny and beautifully filmed. I find myself falling for the character of Amelie constantly as well. One small complaint though is that I think the guy in it is a bit unrealistic. I think in real life, by the time he received the third note about meeting, followed by strange events he would be thinking "Oh bugger this". Anyway, I give it a full 9/10 and a thumbs up.

Hellfire Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke) Felt like watching it again. Damn, this movie is amazing, it's simply breath taking. Miyazaki is a genious. He and Miyamoto should make a game/movie colaboration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killthenet Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Fat Albert Just caught the majority of this on Sky Movies. Was really enjoyable but Kenan is a terrible voice actor, his voice kept slipping between Fat Albert and Kenan Rockmore. Was also a little soppy-soppy in places, but you expect that with these kinds of flicks. Thoroughly enjoyable otherwise and Bill Cosby played himself in it, there's some meta-level shit going on here. 5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
