[OT] The Movies Thread III: Watch, Discuss and Have Fun! No Open Spoilers!

[opethian]

If you like the previous works of Seth Rogen and James Franco, the way their comedy works etc, then you'll definitely like/love this. If you never find them funny, then you won't enjoy this either, it is simple as that.

Totally agree with you bro!

Fury: I actually did not want to see this movie because I am sick and tired of WWII themed movies. Every year there are at least 3 movies based around WWII. And as usual, these WWII movies...they don't disappoint (Just the past few years we had some decent ones like: Defiance, Inglorious Bastards, Valkyrie, etc etc) but I am still sick of them lol. Fury is no exception.

The cast, script, direction and cinematography were all great. Worth the price. Just kinda tired of the WW2 theme. 8/10

PK: So it is very rare for me to watch a Bollywood film. I honestly think 95% of them are garbage and I don't really have 3+ hours to waste. But every now and then Bollywood comes up with a gem. For instance only a select few come to my mind immediately; Taare Zameen Par, 3 Idiots, Dilwale Dulhania, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham . I believe this movie is one of them. It's brave, funny, charming and goes against the cultural norm and is thought provoking for the average man. I love how sometimes films are used to criticize social practices and justifiably so. The songs however were awful. But overall message that the film carried was awesome. Reminded me a little bit of the book called "The Little Prince". Same type of theme as the Little Prince since it was kinda a social commentary of sorts about humanity, and culture and how strange and illogical we can be. 8.5/10

The movie was more of a lecture than the movie itself. I figured it out just after the first 30 minutes what's the whole point of the movie's about. And I did a huge mistake to watch it with the family. These guys are adopting vulgarity from hollywood just to make their movies more funny, but fail to do so as it results in more cheapness than being funny. [Dancing car, french kiss, dropped Co#$%m], these moments were very embarrassing.

PACIFIC RIM (2013)

"Lets go fishing!"​

I had an erection at the intro of our most awesome Gipsy Danger, with most exciting CGI, and dazzling rain effect. 'Two thousand five hundred tons of awesomeness'. Goes both ways. Its Kaijus vs. Robots, a fight with humongous mofo creatures done right. So turn off your brain, and embrace the cheese.

Its a spectacle. TheAvengers-esque plot, not so much. Portals, Aliens, Nukes, its getting repetitive and boring now. A few WTF moments like, 'Dinosaurs trial run', and 'Its Pregnant'. Stupid but interesting, though. Forget about the ending. The clichés were pretty much expected, but i don't see it as a problem. Screenplay wasn't a groundbreaking thing anyway.

Mouth watering (and eye-tearing) CGI-infested anime-style artwork, with orgasmic huge environments kept me hooked up. Its amazing how beautifully Pacific Rim presents those vast places. Some of the action scenes are particularly lovely. 'Fastest Jaeger', 'Elbow rocket' ... they totally had me at 'the final choice', 'A Sword'. Noteable fight with that winged creature, one of the most amazing fights in the whole movie. 'Nuclear blast' before entry in Breach pushing all the water away ... just wow. Soundtrack were quietly brilliant, for the most part. Pacific Rim Soundtrack with Gipsy Danger's entry spiked my enthusiasm.

Idris Elba served well as someone with sheer responsibility of keeping the war going. Mako, well she is hilarious. I just couldn't take her seriously, even in 47 Ronin (2013). Younger Mako acted better. Impressive for a child. Kaiju groupie doctor, Charlie Day, added the necessary humor pretty darn well.

My problem is that even though Pacific Rim was stylish, stunning, having absolutely sublime CGI action ... it was a bit boring. The CGI was a bit too much for me to bear, and was strain on the eyes. During most of the intense action scenes, i couldn't see properly whatever was going on. Robots were a bit slower. Should've been faster, which i expect them to be in the promised sequel of Pacific Rim. But its $190 million budget's glory pays off well. And its very entertaining ... and humorous. So what the hell, 7/10. This is something you'd repeat multiple times before letting it go.

P.S. This makes the Godzilla (2014) feel even stupider and sh*ttier. Pacific Rim was much less boring for me than that. I kinda like it, but dislike it at the same time. I dunno, can't explain. Screw it.

The Interview:
One of the better comedy movies I have watched. The James franco-Seth rogen duo is really funny. They should do more movies together. The laughs were pretty good, the ending could have been better though. The "take him out" scene was hilarious.

9/10

 

[UltraViolet]

Khungfu jungle 7/10..As usual top notch action and avg story,last fighting scenes were wow.

 

[puppet]

oh man the interview is the best comedy of 2014 imo (lmao) , great movie 100% recommended for everyone who love comedy genre

 

[Ottoman]

"The Interview" has been developed by the same dudes who made "Pineapple Express", yes? In that case I'll pass. Haven't watched a more pathetic comedy movie in my life. A complete waste of time.

whats wrong with " this is the end " ?

it was AWESOMEEEEEEEE

 

[Ottoman]

'Edge of Tomorrow' was a marvellous movie. It was 'Groundhog Day', a bit of 'Pacific Rim' and 'Looper' all rolled into one. My personal favourite this year so far.

I downloaded 'This is the End' on mani's recommendation. Will watch it if I have some time to kill.

Start from the very first of The Cornetto Series and make your way up to the latest. Only then you'll be able to comprehend what's this series actually about. Don't forget, its a British Comedy, so if you don't understand that, don't waste your time.

 

[Gizmo]

This is the end was pretty decent actually. Also Edge Of Tomorrow's ending really disappointed me, that thing would've had a much bigger impact if they'd taken the ending into the other direction.

d00d! You're mixing it up with 'The World's End' which is a part of the Cornetto trilogy.

That's "The World's End".
"This is the End" is the one with James Franco and Seth Rogen.

Yeah, seeing them play themselves in an Apocalyptic funny situation was awesome. So many hilarious cameos too.
