I suppose Citizen Kane and The Godfather were also ‘a bit too American’ for your sophisticated tastes?RayTunes said:Going to see ''Jack & Jill'' tonight. Looks a bit mediocre to me.
EDIT: It actually had some pretty good jokes in it. Though, a bit too American for me at some parts.
Jack & Jill is the worst film of the year, but that has nothing to do with the fact that it was made in America.I’ve heard that one’s pretty terrible too.RayTunes said:
Jack & Jill was indeed a mediocre title. I don't mean this in an offensive way, but think of it as the new commercial from Rayman Origins. Most of us don't seem to get the jokes in that commercial, and the same effect occurs with this movie.spiraldoor said:I suppose Citizen Kane and The Godfather were also ‘a bit too American’ for your sophisticated tastes?
No, it had a good story line, fine actors, and some of the best special effects ever. The only downside seemed to be that some things didn't exist in those days.spiraldoor said:
It’s not mediocre, it’s offensively horrible. ‘Although it features an inexplicably committed performance from Al Pacino, Jack and Jill is impossible to recommend on any level whatsoever.’ That’s the critical consensus according to Rotten Tomatoes, which has awarded Jack & Jill a glorious 4% approval rating. Please don’t equate Rayman Origins (a work of art that the creators genuinely cared about) with this rubbish.RayTunes said:
‘It plays admirably fast and loose with Alexandre Dumas' classic tale, but in every other respect, The Three Musketeers offers nothing to recommend -- or to set it apart from the many other film adaptations.’ The aggregated opinion of the critics is far more important than yours or mine, and it says that this film is crap, with mild redeeming features bumping it up to 24% approval.RayTunes said:
It’s you, but what is wrong with disliking most films? It’s hard not to if you have good taste. I’d hate to be the sort of person who accepts uninspired, poorly-made rubbish and thinks it’s ‘excellent’.RayTunes said:
True. The movie was bad.spiraldoor said:
Well, the ending gives away that they want to make a sequel.spiraldoor said:
I watch a huge amount of movies and seem to like most that I watch... except for some deep failures. I enjoy what most people like such as Lord of the Rings or Sherlock Holmes. But, you seem to be the only one who would call a movie such as Inception a rubbish. That is just my opinion, though.spiraldoor said:
I watch a new film every day, but I always make sure that they are actually good first; I would never watch something like Jack & Jill or The Three Musketeers.RayTunes said:
Being liked by ‘most people’ has no bearing on the quality of a film, so I’m not sure what you’re trying to suggest. The Lord of the Rings is very good in its own right, but a failure compared to the book. Assuming you’re talking about the Guy Ritchie version, I found Sherlock Holmes adequate but forgettable.RayTunes said:
Wtf? What exactly gives you the impression that I would call Inception ‘rubbish’? Please don’t make such bizarre claims about me without even attempting to justify them. For the record, it doesn’t escape the shadow of The Matrix, but it still was my favourite film of 2010.RayTunes said:
Watchmen was directed by a boon who stripped out the most intelligent and challenging ideas presented in the source material, and changed the ending from an amazing one to a lame one. The film is OK when judged on its own merits. I haven’t seen The King’s Speech yet.RayTunes said:
Holy shit. I would go insane from watching a movie every day.spiraldoor said:
Ah, I should have gone back in and read every single word in the Inception discussion and have carefully chosen what I would write.spiraldoor said:
That's exactly my point ; Jackson did quite well adapting that huge book in only three movies. The only thing I truly hate about the series is Legolas... his action scenes are just ridiculous. I'm not denying the movies' weaknesses, I'm just saying that those are inherent to a film adaptation. And it is a good adaptation.spiraldoor said:
I’m not concerned by your failure to research by reading the Inception discussion; I’m asking you not to make inane claims about my personality and then run off when I ask you to explain them.RayTunes said:
Haha, nice try. You’re not getting off that easily.RayTunes said:
Like I said, they’re very good films, but I still think that they could have come much closer to the quality of the book, even within the constraints of a trilogy. Many of the films’ problems were caused not by compression, but simply by Jackson mucking about with the story.DesLife said:
Well, that was announced ages ago. It's about a new Muppet visiting his brother, and somehow all of the Muppets come and decide to restart their abandoned show. It came out today here. I'm seeing it tomorrow.stan423321 said:
What are you trying to point out? That you'll continue to exhaust the last bit of someone until you can close your computer and say ''I won a absolutely pointless discussion about Jack & Jill''?spiraldoor said:
I was trying to point out that you can’t boss me around and tell me to ignore your posts. I respond indiscriminately.RayTunes said:
Isn't Michel Ancel making the video game for that?GlueTube365 said:
