Movies you just recently watched

[Puruun]

I used to like the first one a lot more than I do now. After re-watching it recently, I noticed that the ending literally makes absolutely no sense.

Yeah, I watched it today and I was like wtf they didn't get to keep the memory? Also the part about "We shouldn't let pokemon fight (like that)" sounded way too hypocritical. I'm still a huge fan of the architecture of Mewtwo's castle though.

[Haruka]

I also didn't understand quite well why all couldn't remind the events after.

[Slogbait]

Mewtwo erased their memories of the event and replicated the storm to make it seem like no time had passed to those whose memories he wiped. Now, what didn't make sense was in Mewtwo Returns, how none of the clones could remember the events of the first movie, not even Mewtwo. I'll have to rewatch that one to see if there was ever an explanation, but I can't remember there being one.

I watched "Batman Returns" two days ago. I liked the movie, and the Penguin in particular.

That's a great movie. Would easily choose it over the Dark Knight.

Batman Returns was a beautiful movie, it looked gorgeous, but at the same time, it was kind of a visionary mess.

[Haruka]

At least I enjoyed it more than Batman & Robin, that I watched yesterday night.

I think both Batman Returns and The Dark Knight are great movies from him.

To be honest I think Batman is my favourite comic superhero. I like him much more than Spiderman.

Are you serious?

[Adsolution]

The Dark Knight has a great narrative. Batman Returns has almost none. However, if I were to compare Batman Returns to The Dark Knight Rises, the former would beat the latter by a long shot. The Dark Knight Rises is like Batman Returns, but without the gorgeous look, classic comic feel, atmosphere and pretty much everything that makes it remotely enjoyable to watch.


I just saw Ted. The raw, unrestrained humour was refreshingly awesome.

Aside from a far too predictable story, I think my only problem with the movie is the actual lack of jokes. When the movie did utilise its jokes, they were fucking hilarious. It's unfortunate, too, since with a very predictable story, when it dashed the humour away for having a serious moment, you just sort of end up waiting for the next joke. Now if only they'd packed it much more full of its actual strong points (comedy), it would have been a truly great film.

[El Dango]

Yeah, it was weird when it started getting all dramatic.

[Haruka]

I watched the Dark Knight back in the cinema, it was pretty cool to watch it.

[Keane]

While everyone is getting all serious about the Dark Knight I'm thinking "It's about a grown man in a bat suit trying to save the world from a grown man dressing like a clown..."

Watched Oz: The Great and Powerful. Not much to complain about, because it was pretty great. The story was good and the characters were all equally interesting. Really impressive visuals, too. I liked that the 3D effect was fantastic but didn't end up like Despicable Me or Madagascar, which went and tried to have at least 10 shots of something coming forward every couple of minutes.

[Spanex]

Finally watched Wreck-it Ralph. Was getting tired of trying to avoid spoilers...

Shouldn't you be thinking this when watching Batman Returns too, then?

No, because it isn't really that dark. To me it feels much more like it was based around the comic. It's a superhero story like superheroes were intended to be. The Dark Knight comes with all this overly dramatic shit that just makes it silly.

[Haruka]

I quite liked the performance of the actor of the Joker, I think it was what it made the movie more cool to watch.

[Adsolution]

No, because it isn't really that dark. To me it feels much more like it was based around the comic. It's a superhero story like superheroes were intended to be. The Dark Knight comes with all this overly dramatic shit that just makes it silly.

The whole point of Batman though is that he is not a super hero. Besides, comparatively, Batman was hardly in Batman Returns at all, and when he is, he's causing a load of unnecessary trouble.

[Slogbait]

Finally got to see Wreck It Ralph. It was about as good as I was expecting. Not really crazy for the movie, and only see myself watching it again if there's nothing else on (in the rare occasion I actually sit back and watch tv, that is) or if someone suggests to watch it with them.

Sorry, but if the character both looks and acts like a super hero, what's keeping me from considering that he is one? I guess in the end you could say that The Dark Knight had more work put into it, but I dunno, the lack of atmosphere really work for me. It just feels like one big collection of darkness.

I was watching Prometheus again with a friend today, and to my disappointment, it was not how I remember it. This is most likely due to the fact that I wasn't high on popcorn and hype like I was when I first went to see it in theatres.

It's a movie with some intriguing ideas, a fascinating premise and absolutely beautiful cinematography, but outside of that, it's just bad. Really bad. At some parts, it's almost unwatchably stupid. What might those parts be? I'll list the three (though there may have been more) that I actually physically gaped at and that ripped right through the immersion during my revisiting of the film:


- Why did Vickers kill Holloway with a flamethrower? Considering the fact that he asked her to kill him, why did she kill him in the most excruciatingly painful way possible? You would think that a bullet to the head would be faster, safer, more respectable and painless. Besides, they don't know what's in the atmosphere, isn't there the possibility of it containing highly combustible elements? This scene is so stupid it's almost angering.

- This film is a copy/paste of the first two films combined, almost scene by scene at times. The unfortunate part however is that all the intelligence was sucked out and replaced with stupid. Not just in the narrative though, everything everyone does is stupid. Everything everyone says is stupid, or trivial. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

And then here's the big one:

- The future's medical sciences must have gone wrong somewhere. The machine applying a fetal-removal to Shaw did not provide anesthesia for her, after removing the fetus it did not clean or sterilise the incision, and it literally stapled the massive hole in her belly closed. Afterward, she just gets up and proceeds to pull off these incredible moves, only buckling down once or twice while standing perfectly still. But rewinding for a moment, this machine, it was apparently only designed to operate on men. Firstly, why? The Prometheus expedition clearly included a partially-female crew, and secondly, why? It's not like females are of a different species; the machine should actually have a lot more trouble adapting its operations to the different heights and stature of the various patients, rather than the slight proportional differences between the sexes. The worst part however is, as a machine that was built to operate on men only, how in the fuck did her overriding its 'misogyny' enable it to perform a c-section, an operation solely exclusive to women (and Schwarzenegger)?


I hardly paid attention the first time around because I went in a group. Now that I actually decided to get invested in the film, I realised how awful it was. Spectacular to look at, but just so awfully nose-pinchingly boot-stompingly eye-gougingly hair-rippingoutingly cock-wankingly stupid.

This movie is stupid.

It truly is.

Sorry, but if the character both looks and acts like a super hero, what's keeping me from considering that he is one? I guess in the end you could say that The Dark Knight had more work put into it, but I dunno, the lack of atmosphere really work for me. It just feels like one big collection of darkness.

Understandable to a degree, though I thought it held quite a lot of atmosphere.
