[OT] The Movies Thread III: Watch, Discuss and Have Fun! No Open Spoilers!
- Thread starter BumperJumper
- Start date
Agree on sabotage with DC....because it gives exact that feeling when u see villain has no dialogues no fight scenes, just Humors like Avengers, Thor Ragnarok with Aquaman & Flash. I mean seriously why DC team do that ? they have their own style of movies WTH they agree with Weadon.
Plus they show mostly scenes on trailer that is also bad thing. If they want to show extra scene's in trailer they should also put some USP scene's in movie. That's why BVS, WW have better dialogues and story plot compare to this because they mess this movie with 2 different hands. Now they cant cover this in Zack S. version in Bluray edition. I wish they make asap JL2 without these type of issues to cover this mess. And Zack S. is the only person who solve this issue on DC franchise.
Spoiler: show
My rating for Justice League 6/10 (1 for Flash & 2 for Fight Scene
)

Atomic Blonde: Story of a female spy. A typical spy movie nothing so special. The only thing catch my eye was that stairwell action scene. A brutal action scene in one shot without any bump or cuts it was atleast 3-4 minutes long. Just like Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron did that action scene by herself. A bit boring but an OKish movie 6.5/10.
Overdrive: This movie was not about exotic cars it was about old classic cars. Not much exciting just a timepass movie nothing special 6/10.
2:22: That was interesting and not expecting it to be that kind of movie. A love story involving second life just like old bollywood movies but way better 5/10.
Justice League: Saw Justice League on Saturday in IMAX. Well, I haven’t seen any trailer of it before but after watching it I did check all trailers. There are some scenes which they didn’t show in the movie. They showed atleast 60% movie or story in trailers mostly the action scenes. Good thing they didn’t show the best scene of the movie in trailers. Yes, it was whole crowd goes crazy in that scene. Everything happens very quickly. 2 hours passed in a jiffy. There was something to laugh about atleast they learned something from Marvel movies CGI was baaaaadd but, nevertheless on the whole it was not perfect but also not that bad at all 7/10.

Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle.................(8/10) watched in HD, well the movie was way too long but it had that same cheesy action scenes as in previous part, worth a watch!
Logan Lucky.........................(8.5/10) watched in HD, a nice heist action movie with a few laughs, Daniel Craig comedy role was the surprising part for me, enjoyed it a lot!!

Dunkirk (2017):
One of the most technically dazzling movies I've seen. The cinematography, the dogfights, the score, the interspersed editing is a wonder. Where it lacks a bit is in the story department. There wasn't a "hook", so to speak, which is exactly what Nolan wanted, i understand: it's war, it doesn't matter who these people were, war didn't care about that sort of stuff. But to me, that made it a bit cold, but that is a small gripe. I think I had the same complaint with Baby Driver, a marvel of technical mastery behind the camera, but a weak storyline stopped me loving it wholeheartedly. Minor complaints, when the results are this good.
This is a bit slow getting off its feet, but towards the latter half becomes so captivating that you won't be able to turn away. I was transfixed by what Nolan was able to achieve and the scale of this story. Dialogues are not Nolan's forte and he kept them at a bare minimum this time around, which works for this movie. Hans Zimmer does not disappoint, and the score is pretty darn good.
This might not be THE greatest war movie of all time, but it sure is one heck of a movie. Might even given Nolan that elusive Best Director Oscar finally. It will be a highly deserving one.

mother! (2017):
It was impossible for me to walk into this with no knowledge. I frequent a lot of movie websites and of course, this one, and am an avid viewer of ScreenJunkies. So, I had a clear idea of what to expect. That may have diminished my experience, especially the shock factor.
The first half plays like a normal psychological horror/thriller, with some off hand weird things like the bleeding house and beating heart inside the walls, but otherwise it is pretty straight up: creepy husband, house in the woods, no signals, close camera follows the protagonist, and Jennifer Lawrence's see-through top (not complaining, I am a very shallow person, I love girls, what can I say...).
At every stage, I was aware of the symbology that was being put forth (given that I knew the context) and once you know it, it is very easy to make the connections, it stops being subtle. Like once you see an illusion in an image, it becomes really hard not to see it. For me, it was the story of how humanity takes mother nature/earth for granted. God is the silent audience in it, and it seems he is very much nonchalant about what happens to earth. Then you got all these biblical figures like Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel, etc. They intrude on mother earth's privacy, her home, her bedroom, her sex life (that was a weird thing, but hey, Aronofsky cranked up the screenplay in a weekend, shit is bound to be half baked in some ways).
I did not hate this movie. I might be one of the few ones who were in the middle. It is okay, the symbology is very obvious when you knew what exactly is going on. It is weird as fuck, no doubt, especially when shit hits the fan in the 2nd half.
Aronofsky is great behind the camera, tho, even if his script is heavy handed. It is no surprise since his visual style is always very confident and engaging and it is the same here. Shot mostly from closeups from over the shoulder of Jennifer Lawrence, it gives you an eerie feeling, borderline claustrophobic. The fight scene between the two brothers is shot really well, presenting us the unhinged state of affairs that were unfolding. The scenes of "shit hitting the fan" are done very well, as is expected from Aronofsky.
The cast is great, except maybe J-Law. Let me explain: playing a waif-like doe-eyed girl is not her forte. Don't get me wrong, she is a talented actress (you don't get 4 Oscar nominations before you hit 30 for no reason, even if I think a couple may have been undeserved), but I felt no energy at all from her (again, it is the problem of the role more than hers). Javier Bardem on the other hand is given the most heavy handed lines of the script but he sells them. He plays the arrogant 'Creator' well. And Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer, legends of the screen, are amazing in their respective roles, especially Pfeiffer (what a year she has been having: this, The Wizard of Lies and Murder on the Orient Express).
All in all, not as terrible as the "F" cinemascore would have you believe, not as profound as Aronofsky thinks his script is. It is just an okay movie.

saw "starwars:the last jedi" at cinestar IMAX tonight
well the eighth in the starwars episode is here and it was good. i kinda liked this better than forceawakens.
this movie answers few and raises more questions atleast for me. the whole thing about force awakens and such on just not convincing enough for me here.. i don't want to go into detail so wouldn't wanna spoil
but once you see this you would know
apart from that the movie was actually real good, no boring or lagging etc... it was great to see luke back and those space battles etc were really nicely done.
some are saying this outclasses the first trilogies and very well be the best starwars movie but i wouldn't just go there, good this is but still original is original
Rating: 8.5/10

The House....................(8/10) watched in Emirates flight. Had some funny scenes here and there! Good movie for time pass! Will Ferrell was as usual funny in this!! Dunno why it flopped at the box office!!
Kidnap.....................(8.5/10) watched in Emirates flight! Man i gotta be honest with you the first 30 or 40 minutes when Halle Berry gave that chase were so intense my palms were sweating despite the AC was on in the aircraft! Loved it, must watch thriller movie!
