The Movies Thread II: Watch, Discuss and Have Fun!

[Omyakha]

Yes, I saw it at DHA cinema on Sunday, 7pm.

How was the crowd? I was there last night and it was practically empty. A couple of people even left in the middle of the movie (lmao) We should have heckled them on their way out

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

8.5/10

​

A good way to kill time. I found it highly entertaining. And the score was simply amazing. It gave me goosebumps throughout. All in all, if you've got about an hour and a half to burn, I'd recommend it.

LOL dude I like the backdrop of this movie!! It fascinates me, so that's what kept me interested!!

Yeah same for me

The problem with time travel movies is that they always end up creating situations that'd most likely create a paradox in time or just plain don't make any sense. No exceptions to the rule.

Looper like any other time travel movie comes with its very own set of undefined time travel rules to suit the film's plot. If you're willing to accept it as a plot device put in place for dramatic effect, there's really not much else wrong about the movie. But if you're one of those anal-retentive types that over analyzes everything to death, you'll find plenty of things to complain about. I'd like to think I'm somewhere in between i.e I freakin' loved it!

Not an entirely original concept, the terminator movies come to mind if plot comparisons were to be made. Personally I was getting a "12 monkeys" vibe. Even though both movies have absolutely nothing in common (except Bruce Willis ) but the general tone of the film, the general feel of it, it was very similar to that of 12 monkeys.

Apart from the obligatory stellar JGL perfermonce, Emily Blunt was a real standout delivering an exceptionally moving performance.

I'm not a fan of assigning ratings to movies but here's one that I would NOT give Looper (for reference sake)

7.25/10

You have got your own opinions, i've got my own.

i don't need to agree with your's and you don't have to agree with mine.

as someone who also saw "looper" said " it won't be everybodys cup of tea"

and if you are referring to my rating as being bad or something than anything below 5 is bad or worse etc anything above 6 is good and 7.25 means VERY GOOD.

@manigamer The crowd at DHA cinema was not the best I have watched a movie with, but no one left the movie before the end. By the end of the show, seeing the reaction of the crowd, I don't think many people liked the movie. I myself had to explain to my friend some parts of the plot. Like I said, these types of movies, with complex plot elements, are not everyone's cup of tea. Some like it, some don't. Apart from that, the acting of some actors was great, especially by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I have been following his work since 'Brick' (It's a really good crime/noir movie), and he has really grown as an actor, although I don't think that this is his best work.

Having seen the last few movies at Cinestar, it was kind of felt strange coming back to DHA. The screen seemed much smaller. And since when are there intervals in between English movies, it hampered the whole tempo of the movie.

 

[manigamer]

^^ yeah LOL i was there too and its the first time that an english movie got an intermission never really thought there would be one and as soon there was this interval everybody rushed to either bathrooms or refill's etc

well yeah the movie requires your full attention to understand this whole time travel thingie and the way how bruce willis just stopped JGL in his track's saying " i'm not here to preach timetravel etc " that diner part was AWESOME.

its a good movie definately a watch for some good action movie goers and scifi ALIKE.

those GUNSHOT EFFECTS ETC did spooked me a bit at times, caught me offguard haha. It was fun.


Yasir: if u want to watch "looper" in cinema and if u like some good action with scifi stuff ! definately do watch.

to me the movie felt LIKE X-MEN meet TERMINATOR haha

[Sani]

Man on Fire (2004) : Denzel Washington with Tony Scott as a director equals to a masterpiece. This movie is all about emotions and violence. The end was so tense .... 8/10.

 

[sunny945]

watched :
SWAT (2003)

A good action movie overall but the story is ruining the action.i will give this 6\10 because of its story else the action was good enough for a movie like this

 

[Applesauce]

ABRAHAM LICOLN THE VAMPIRE HUNTER:
hmmm good action, exceptional visuals, great score I think you need these type of films once a year but having said that... bad screenplay not so good story and straight out baaad acting makes it average... 6.5/10

Sent a jellybean from my Nexus S...

 

[manigamer]

Cabin in the Woods

A very good comedy

8/10

hun, i have yet to watch it but isn't the genre here "HORROR" etc coz the trailer did not show any comedy unless the horror was that cheesy that you thought it's comedic ?

btw about looper, the more i think about it the more the movies slowly growing on me. so i might just fix the rating for it, the movie was one of the top notch ones ive seen this year thats for sure now. the story even though it had some cliche's etc but nicely put so they felt FRESH and funny.

Spoiler: show

that KID is scary man.
