Why the fuck anyone lets Zakk Snyder or Bryan Singer direct movies I will never know. They just fuck up everything in their path. Fuck, I was hoping that Superman movie was gonna kick ass. Apparently not. :mad:

Fast 6 - 5/10

Just laaaaaaaaawwwwwllllllllll

I actually am kind of a fan of the franchise, but this was just so absurdly ridiculous and over the top it wasn't even enjoyable. I'd read some stuff on Jalopnik about it and it was as bad as they said. The F&F drinking game of taking a shot every time 1.) someone shifts and 2.) every time someone says "family" would have you in the ER after about 30 minutes into the movie.
So much stupid to even get into it, but by comparison it makes Fast 5 look like "A Clockwork Orange". And Fast 7 is already slated for Summer 2014 lol. O LAWD

Oh hey! You need to use the toilet? Go ahead, honey.

I've heard people say of the new Superman that it's like someone watched Transformers 3, went, "THAT'S AWESOME," then tried to stick Supes in it. That makes me :cry: . TF3 makes TF2 look like the best movie ever written. And TF2 makes TF1 look like Shakespear.

Well, to be fair, Singer did The Usual Suspects, and X-Men and X2 weren't too bad.

Synder, though, holy shit. He makes cinema worse for having to have suffered him. The only, ONLY hero I'd let him get within 100 feet of is The Punisher. And only then with strict supervision by a court-ordered mediator.

Man of Steel 7/10
Everything, both good AND bad, you heard about the movie is true. But I still liked it. First movie to really make Superman work for me.

25 MINUTES OF PREVIEWS?!?!?!?! Guess I can review the previews, too:

World War Z -5/10
I am a HUGE fan of the book and this movie actually makes me angry. It should be called "Brad Pitt's Excellent Zombie Adventure."

Elysium 9/10
Pretty much the only movie I am excited for, other than Despicable Me 2. District 9 is one of my faves and this has a lot of the same look and feel to it.

Lone Ranger 5/10
Meh. Could be good, could be bad. Whatevs.

300 Rise of an Empire 0/10
Looks like movie made out of outtakes of every other Zak Snyder movie. You know, the scenes that were cut because they made even less sense than the rest of the movie.

Gravity 3/10
WTF? Seriously. WTF?

Something about dead cops fighting dead bad guys 7/10
Looks entertaining even if I can't remember what it is called.

X-Men was terrible! What were you smoking when you watched it? Magneto was a pussy, the plot was moronic, sabertooth wasn't exactly fierce or scary and toadboy or whatever? really? All the badguys and you pick him?

Ugh. UGH.

Don't get me wrong Sir Ian McCellan is a 100% certified BAD ASS. He's also SCRAWNY AND OLD. He looked like a scrawny old man playing magneto. I didn't get the evil villian vibe at all. I got the "this is a paycheck" vibe.

So, how many grey haired old guys with the body of an Olympic athlete that can also act well do know of? Unfortunately it was about 40 years too late for Kirk Douglas to do it. If they made it in 1980 it would have been perfect, hell he's even Jewish to boot.


He didn't have to look like a comic book character, but they could have found someone in their 50s or early 60s who wasn't to "skeletal" point of existence yet.

And he didn't have to act well, that was another problem. His role was so lame and stilted you didn't need an amazing actor, you needed a warm body.

Sorry, noob, but you are a noob. Bryan Singer did a GREAT job of respecting the source material in the first two X-Men movies and created two fo the best super hero movies of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Frankly, I don't care how old Ian Gandalf is. Dude is a total badass! He rocked Magneto. Frankly, I don't understand how anyone could not like those movies.

Turn in your nerd card, dude. I will hold it for you until you prove yourself worthy again.

#2 was fine. #1 sucked. :( "HAHA! I am turning humanity into mutants for their power and then they turn to ooze! MUAHAHAHAHA!" And TOADBOY! Maybe the source material worked in the comics (I'm not a big superhero comics fan) but I found it highly meh in the theaters.

Sucked is internet hyperbole, but I saw it once in the theaters, was underwhelmed, and never bothered to see it again.

Also, outside of Joss Whedon's Xmen (Astounding Xmen?) I never read any xmen comics. Just watched the cartoon. Which I liked much better than that movie.

I am certainly not a comic book nerd. :lol:

I never saw three and heard the wolverine was had an awesome intro and then there was like 2 hours of suffering after that point.

First Class or whatever didn't interest me.

Just not my thing I guess.

I'm with you on this. X-Men, and X2 were great superhero movies. Xmen: The Last Stand was pretty lackluster in many regards.

Re-Animator based on a recommendation of a poster here. 7/10 Really enjoyable. Old school horror and a bit of lulz thrown in.

Blue Velvet. 7.5/10 Would watch again. Been on a David Lynch spree as of late. Dennis Hopper always played crazy well.

George needs to watch ALL the Re-Animator movies. They go so cheese it's like having a giant plate of nachos in front of you by the end of them.

I'm gonna do a pre-emptive rating on Pracific Rim: 25/10

I've been watching behind the scenes stuff on youtube and this is gonna be a MASSIVE win. They built the control module for the mechs. Like, literally, the entire robot head/control module. It's four stories high. And they can throw it around when the guys are in battle so the actors can react to reality rather than having to wing the whole thing. And they're actually strapped into that shit just like they're supposed to be. All movements are real. del Torro himself said you have to give the CGI something to root to in reality. It looks like he's done it.

I think we're finally gonna get a GOOD giant robot movie. And I hope it mops the floor with Michael Bay's pieces of shit.

Man, I am so conflicted about this. It's just a Doublemint version of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and while I think del Toro is a badass, I'm just really, really not expecting anything out of this. I just can't bring myself to get my hopes up on Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters: The Movie.

But I want it to be badass, I honestly do.

My one hope is the studio doesn't force del Toro to fuck with his vision. I could see a producer/exec telling him, "Michael Bay had more explosions and slo-mo shots on hot babes doing nothing. Put more of that shit in."

But I'm just super impressed with the work they've put into NOT letting this be a CGI only slap in the face to everything giant robot anime has always been. At least there's been some effort put in. That's what has me excited.

LOVE Blue Velvet.

Dennis Hopper was a true great. Loved it when he played whack jobs. I liked him as "Fack" in the movie "River's Edge". He was a paranoid schizophrenic ex biker . Good stuff
