2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - 10/10

What else would I give it?

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) - 7/10

Very dour and depressing. Pretty good anyway.

The Avengers (2012) - 7/10

In terms of enjoyment, this would be a ten, but it does have a few flaws, particularly in terms of the plot.

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) - 6/10

Far too many characters and messy plotting save this from being a better film.

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) - 7/10

Great acting and characters, and interesting and unique action, but also many plot holes and uneven pacing.

The Terminal (2004) - 6/10

Colourful cast of characters, some better than others. At times overly pretentious and sappy. I enjoyed it despite it’s flaws though.

Shaun of the Dead (2004) - 9/10

Hilarious, but also very heartfelt and real. Had great characters. Certainly my favourite comedy film.

Honestly, I could not care less what transpires in Episodes VIII and IX.

After watching the juvenile fan fiction trash film The Force Awakens, which was without question the single worst movie I have ever seen, there is nothing in the world which could convince me to watch Episodes VIII and IX.

Bahahahaha. Guess you haven’t seen many movies. This film was honestly on a pure technical level the most well-made Star Wars film to date. Now is it my favorite? No. And you don’t have to like it at all. But to say it’s the worst movie you’ve ever seen is just beyond ridiculous. I think the prequels suck, but none of them even come close to the worst movie I have ever seen. Even Batman and Robin, mentioned here as an example of a worse film, doesn’t come close. Wake me up when you’ve seen The Room or any Ed Wood film.

The Room? Bad?

Uh… yeah.

The Room is a genius psychological thriller, and purely demonstrates what happens when a nice man has so many bad things happen to him. It’s really quite tragic.

Two-time Oscar®-winner Cate Blanchett (“Blue Jasmine,” “Carol, “Cinderella”) joins Marvel Studios’ “Thor: Ragnarok” as the mysterious and powerful new villain Hela, along with Jeff Goldblum (the upcoming “Independence Day: Resurgence,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Jurassic Park”) who joins the cast as the eccentric Grandmaster, Tessa Thompson (“Creed,” “Selma”) who will bring the classic hero Valkyrie to life on the big screen, and Karl Urban (“Star Trek” trilogy, “The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King”) who will add his might to the fray as Skurge.

Rounding out the cast for the film is three-time Oscar®-nominee Mark Ruffalo (“Spotlight,” “The Kids Are All Right,” “Foxcatcher”), reprising his role of Bruce Banner/the Hulk from “Marvel’s The Avengers” and Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

“The continuation of the epic Thor franchise will be powerful and unique, and with the additions of Cate, Jeff, Tessa, Karl, and Mark to the cast we have the makings of his most dangerous and heroic adventure yet,” said Producer Kevin Feige. “The sheer, raw talent each of these actors brings to the screen can’t be quantified. Having any one of them join the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be an honor, and having all of them is incredible."

Thor’s new cast members join returning stars Chris Hemsworth (“Rush,” “In the Heart of the Sea,” “Ghostbusters”) in the title role for the fifth time; Tom Hiddleston (“Crimson Peak,” “The Night Manager,” “Kong: Skull Island”) as Thor’s adversarial, adopted brother, Loki; Golden Globe® and Screen Actors Guild Award winner Idris Elba (“The Dark Tower,” “Luther,” “Beasts of No Nation”) as the Asgardian sentry, Heimdall; and Academy Award®-winner Sir Anthony Hopkins (“Silence of the Lambs,” “Nixon,” “Hitchcock”) again portraying Odin, Ruler of Asgard.

“Thor: Ragnarok,” the third installment of Marvel’s popular Norse Super Hero, is directed by Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Taika Waititi (“Two Cars, One Night,” “What We Do in the Shadows,” “Hunt for the Wilderpeople”). Kevin Feige will produce the film, joined by executive producers Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Victoria Alonso, Thomas M. Hammel and Stan Lee.

No Beta Ray Bill?

I’m out.

The Dark Knight (2008): 8/10

It has flaws, certainly, but on the whole this is a great action/crime movie, not really a superhero movie. It’s most definitely my favourite film based off a comic book.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012): 8/10

In my opinion, this is criminally underrated. It comes so close to matching TDK in terms of quality, but falls short in a few crucial areas, like having numerous plot holes. Cinematography, music and acting were great though.

X-Men: First Class (2011): 6/10

It’s good, but the underdeveloped characters, some poor acting, a cheesy script, and bad CGI effects certainly don’t help it’s case. Either way, it’s a fun way to spend a lazy morning.

Memento (2000): 10/10

I didn’t get some parts upon first viewing, so on second viewing my rating may change, but I thought the film was a masterpiece, with a great concept, and terrific surprises.

Woody Allen deserves to die. His whole film career was a fucking ruse to molest children, because if a rapist makes people laugh people forget he is a rapist. I would be glad to spend the rest of my life in prison if I had the opportunity to stab him to death. It’s scary that our justice system in America is so fucked up that any rich person can commit any crime they want and never be punished. They’d rather have attorneys crucify a nine year old girl than let a famous film director go to jail.

The world is run by purely evil people.

That. Is hilarious, and any respect I had for you is gone.

What is wrong with... <strong>Attack of the Clones</strong>? - a general discussion thread
Time

Wouldn’t a better, harder question to answer be “What is right with Attack of the Clones?” in which case I would probably say:

-The music
-Most sound design and effects
-The world building
-The Coruscant chase visuals
-The Jango vs Obi-Wan fight
-The coliseum battle, before the Jedi show up

I think that’s it.

Watched a few more Bonds. Too tired to do write-ups, but here’s where I’m at as far as ratings go (I’ve adjusted a couple of them):

From Russia With Love - 4 stars
Goldfinger - 3 1/2 stars
Thunderball - 2 stars
You Only Live Twice - 3 stars
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service - 3 1/2 stars
Diamonds Are Forever - 2 stars

What do you give Dr No?
