Classic.

At what time do you consider “classic” Sonic games came to an end? Some say with the Genesis games, some say Sonic CD and others say Sonic Adventure or Adventure 2.

Personally I’d say Sonic Adventure 2 was the last classic Sonic game and the last one that wasn’t meh at best.

Good Classic: Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic CD, Knuckles Chaotix
Bad Classic: Sonic 3D Blast
Good Modern: Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Generations
Bad Modern: Everything else

Spinoffs not included

More like master-pieces of shit

Only two of the characters were in any way likable (Spider-Man and Black Panther), the music was so bland, the action was so over the top and silly, yet really boring. Ant-Man, Falcon, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Vision and War Machine were all thrown in for no reason and had nothing to do, no character arcs of any kind. Iron Man and Captain America were just doing the same shtick, Cap going through the exact same character arc from Winter Soldier, and Iron Man going through the same arc from Iron Man 3. Grossly, grossly overrated, it was the first time I’ve seen a superhero film in the cinemas and found it tedious to sit through.

A generous nine out of ten.

The Clone Wars =/= Attack of the Clones
The Clone Wars =/= The Phantom Menace
The Clone Wars =/= Revenge of the Sith

In fact, for long time, The Clone Wars = Expanded Universe, which every sane fan knew was fucked up beyond repair, and as such, didn’t consider canon.

I use to be when I was about 7. Not long afterwards, those kind of games became too primitive for me to enjoy.

You’re doing it wrong!

Tom Sawyer - Rush

daaayum good song

You people give too much crap.

I understand being angry about the changes in OT, I myself hate those changes too. They change things directly in the movie, they interrupt the flow, they don’t fit in.

But being angry about a soundtrack being louder/less loud, a new sound effect, a removal of sound effect etc.? All movies do stuff that when they arrive on home video, because otherwise the sound would be awful.

4K seems to me like a useless waste of resources. The difference between 480p, 720p and 1080p is visible even at distance, but I won’t even notice something is 4K unless a person tells me.

Just like high frame rates, I think this thing has more potential in videogames. In movies, it’s kinda useless.

today me agrees with you. but i am sure two years in the future both of us will have changed our minds.

when we are approximating reality with video, it will forever fall short of the thing it is approximating until perhaps someday we reach the point that displays are manipulating individual atoms to recreate every single wavelength of light that the original scene emited. and even then we might ralize that there is more involved than just light.

every step forward we are amazed at how good something is, and our brains are so great at filling in gaps that we really do think it is perfect. but after long exposure we start to see the flaws.

for the forseable future at least, i think it is safe to assume that current tech will always go obsolete.

the sad result of this is that at some point, long after all originals are decayed and gone, the 8k and 4k remasters done today will be nit so impressive, and we will wish we could go back and redo the scans but we can’t. by happy(?) coincidence, by that time most people who saw the original films probably wont be around, so no one will really care like we care now.

(sorry, rambling before i have had my coffee…)

Thing is, when I first saw movie in HD, it blew my mind away. And seeing a movie in 1080p for the first time, I gasped at all of the detail. With 4K, I didn’t notice difference until I started looking at the individual pixels.

I told a guy on steam I’m planning to get the new DOOM. He said I won’t run it. I told him my PC specs. I have 2x AMD HD 8570 GPU Dedicated. He keeps on babbling that I have 8570D integrated and that my dedicated card is some old card from 2005 which I didn’t ever heard of even. Even after I showed him Device Manager he said it’s only a bug.

So, my question is, how do I murder someone legally?

I woke up this morning at 7:20 AM, which was 25 minutes before I needed to awaken, so I drifted back to sleep. I had a lovely dream that felt as though it were hours worth of activity and adventure, and upon awakening I was concerned that I had slept through my alarm, but I had only been asleep for 4 minutes. Very strange.

Dream time and real time aren’t related to each other.

Universal should sue over the misleading logo. 😉

They’ve cranked out so many direct to video sequels to The Scorpion King and even Dragonheart, I’m surprised they haven’t gone that route with ol’ Imhoptep.

People should definitely sue. A movie so bad is surely against some Geneva convention shit.

I’d rather watch AotC. Twice. In a row.

No.

There’s a fourth Mummy movie?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3382842/

It’s not related to the films with Fraser, but the plot is pretty much ctrl+c ctrl+v with few changes.

Remember how I said I would want Tarantino-style Star Wars?

Well…

I’ll take this
Over this
every time.

You can’t compare these movies.

The Mummy
5 stars
Comparing this remake to the original horror film is crazy. They might share the name, but at the core they are completely different movies, tone-wise, action-wise, visual-vise, plot-wise. And I gotta say, the remake KICKS FUCKING ASS. I might be blinded by nostalgia goggles, but The Mummy still stands out to meas one of the best films of the 90’s.

The Mummy Returns
2 stars
The sequel, though, does not. While at it’s core it might look like more of the same, this movie is a turd. A golden trd served on a silver plate with a tiny umbrella sticking out of it, but still a turd. The needance to having everything be connected baffles me. In the first movie, the heroes didn’t have anything to do with the villain - except being his potential victims. Just a librarian, an asshole, a bigger asshole and a warrior of an ancient cult who you were not sure whether he’s good or bad until the third act. In this movie, the asshole is now also a member of that cult, without even knowing it, the librarian girl is now a future version of pharaoh’s warrior and I don’t even know I got lost. There is too much paranormal. I know that the whole idea of Mummy rising back from dead is paranormal, but the first movie understood that it’s a silly idea and played along with it. It built up a mystery, in depths of the desert, hidden secrets. In this one we have The Mummy running around in broad daylight, with a band of other guys. Imhothep is not The Mummy with capital M, he is a comic book villain. The kid was so annoying, I won’t even give him more than this one sentence. The CGI in the first film, while nothing groundbreaking, was OK. The CGI here? Somehow, they managed to make the CGI worse! They had higher budget, better technology, more experience and IT’S WORSE? THE SCORPION KING AT THE END LOOKS LIKE A PLAYSTATION 2 CHARACTER!

It’s what it is, but it’s baffling such amazing movie like The Mummy could be followed up by…this!

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
4 stars
So after the collosal pile of garbage that was Mummy 2, the team responsible grabbed their balls, and actually delivered us a proper sequel. To which I only have to say: Meh. The movie isn’t bad. IMHO it’s a big improvement over TMR. But it has ton of flaws. It delves way too much into politics. When I watch Mummy movie, I want to see The Mummy, not a bunch of spies and betrayals. The pacing is bit off, but not anything that would make me frustrated. I liked the chemistry between the - now thankfully grown up - O’Connels son, and the O’Connel himself, played again by Brendan Fraser. Just like TMR, it tries to be more comedic, but this time, it surprisingly works! This is the movie that you will either love or hate, and for me, it does enough things to love it.

No.

we seriously need a thread for comic book and superhero movies in general

Star Wars isn’t sci-fi. It’s fantasy in sci-fi setting.
