I actually really like Bean: The Movie it has a good soundtrack and I love the awkward/stressful situation type of comedy. It also has a really good soundtrack.

I just watched Star Trek (2009) and TFA back to back and I have to say JJ Abrams reallly directed two very different movies. They’re both exciting and action packed but everything about them is very different all the way down to pacing, narrative, and cinematography.

Just got back from the cinema, watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. After seeing all three on the big screen now, I’ve gone through rankings for them again.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) – A

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) – B

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) – B++

I don’t think Last Crusade is quite on the “A” spectrum, but it’s really close.

Army of Darkness: The Medieval Deadit | The Terminator - Color Regrade | The Wrong Trousers - Audio Preservation
SONIC RACES THROUGH THE GREEN FIELDS.
THE SUN RACES THROUGH A BLUE SKY FILLED WITH WHITE CLOUDS.

The Crow (1994)
Don’t quite know how I never got around to watching this until today. But I loved it, loved it so much. Even without the unfortunate story behind it it was fantastic. I almost feel like Brandons death added a melancholic and sorrowful physically tangible edge to the film beyond just the foreknowledge that it had happened, which is something that I believe could happen. Whether or not it’s an actual spiritual thing or just the effect it had on those doing the editing, scoring, and General ambiance the post production had is another discussion. But so much of this film struck an emotional chord with me.
9/10

The only reason it’s not a 10/10 is the joke about onions making you fart.

Spectre (2015): 6/10

Pretty fun, I liked the campier tone, all the acting was good, story was pretty convuluted and the villain had terrible motivations (but was still very fun to watch and portayed excellently).

Revenge of the Sith (2005): 5/10

Definitely my favourite of the prequels, it’s at least entertaining to watch (at least for me) and has far better acting and dialogue than the first two prequels. The characters are all still pretty bland and the CGI is overused to hell, so it’s far from great.

The Evil Dead (1981): 8/10

I liked it slightly less than the other two, because all the female characters were idiots, and the tree rape scene went too far. Still absolutely great though.

Captain America: Civil War (2016): 4/10

A mess of epic proportions. Thoughts listed in MCU thread.

Live Free or Die Hard (2007): 2/10

Why must I torture myself? How this is getting 82% on RT is beyond me. Far too generous.

A Good Day to Die Hard (2013): 1/10

Why must I torture myself? How this is getting 14% on RT is beyond me. Far too generous.

Not enough people read the EU.

ROTS > Civil War?

Now I definitely need to see it.

SPOILER
Back to the Future-A. Amazing how cool the 80s were compared to now. Also amazing how even though the entire movie takes place in the 50s, it feels like an 80s movie purely due to the coolness radiated by one Michael J. Fox. Very good movie, looking at the second one tonight.
-TM

Jar-Jar is the Emperor in the extra special edition of ROTJ (scenes 1, 3, and then 6 to the end).

I don’t even like superhero movies, but I am still willing to bet my life that this is the most inaccurate statement involving prequels since the New Yorker:

To be fair, I think that ROTS is inferior to most things, but I don’t mind it, mostly because of nostalgia.

That’s some debilitating nostalgia. I don’t have room to talk though since I prefer getting cavities filled with mercury, but mostly just because of the nostalgia.

That its possible for someone to hold nostalgia for ROTS makes me feel very, very old.

Actually, Revenge of the Sith triumphs Civil War in the following aspects:

-Colour pallette
-Visual asthetic
-Action
-Visual effects (I would have never thought that this would be the case)
-Pacing

So yes, I do feel that Revenge of the Sith is superior to Civil War. At least ROTS wasn’t boring (for me).

Could anyone confirm this for me? I’m not concerned about Civil War, I just find it incredibly hard to believe that any major motion picture could have a worse color palette than ROTS.

Is Red Lights considered a major motion picture? It certainly has one of the ugliest colour palettes I’ve had the misfortune of seeing.

Last movie I saw in the cinema was Civil War, midnight screening last week.
No idea what all this “bad colour pallet” is about, nor do I get some of the odd criticisms of it.
I’m really not fond of the MCU at all to be honest.
In saying that though, I thought Civil War was fantastic.
I really liked the first film, The Winter Solider I thought was a bit overrated but technically well done, however Civil War actually felt like something new and had a more engaging story than it probably had a right to. I think it’s the best MCU movie after Guardians of the Galaxy, which still takes top spot for me.

Though like I said, not really big on the MCU in general, so take that as you will.

Plus I’m a huge Spider-Man fan and they handled the character better than anything Sony’s done since Spider-Man 2.

I just watched “Delivery Man” (2013). I think I was expecting just some dumb comedy that might pass the time. I was surprised to find that not only was it mostly witty rather than crude but also genuinely touching. I love it when a movie doesn’t give you what you were expecting and actually impresses you (I’ve had far too many experiences of the opposite!) I give it an 8/10.
