Re: State your unpopular film related opinion - - - Part 12
How many movies does one need to watch to be considered a film geek?
Owning 150 works, or more is needed?

Re: State your unpopular film related opinion - - - Part 12
Yeah, acting was not the problem with that movie in any regard, not that it was a bad movie, just some script issues.

That just goes with time travel movies. All of them have at last one or two paradoxes. Even Back to the Future.

Re: State your unpopular film related opinion - - - Part 12
Again, that's why people should be less concerned with script details. What's important is the ultimate emotional or philosophical response a film brings.

Re: State your unpopular film related opinion - - - Part 12
Wow a lot of Looper haters in here. I admit I was underwhelmed by it, but aside from some of the time-travel mumbo jumbo some of you have pointed out, I thought it was an excellently well shot, edited, acted and written film.
And I feel like I'd like it even more on a second viewing. |

Re: State your unpopular film related opinion - - - Part 12
Disagreed, I don't think one should be favod over the other. A story should at least make sense.

I don't think people are as concerned with script details as you think. Many people constantly miss details of movies or have plot holes occur and people love it.

Re: State your unpopular film related opinion - - - Part 12
I'm not a big fan of James Bond movies either. Not saying they're bad, but I just couldn't get into them.

Re: State your unpopular film related opinion - - - Part 12
I finally watched Skyfall last night. I liked it, but the ending made me laugh, cause it reminded me of Home Alone.

Re: State your unpopular film related opinion - - - Part 12
I have. I never thought of that, though. The ending reminded me more of Burn Notice. They do those kinds of DIY booby-traps on that show all the time.

Re: State your unpopular film related opinion - - - Part 12
I'm okay with improvised weapons...but doing it in an old worn down house, through a montage with upbeat, vaguely militaristic music just reeked of Home Alone II.
Skyfall was all around a terrible movie, BTW. I don't know if I said that here or in another thread. |

I liked Skyfall, but the movie is in serious need of a good action scene in the middle.

Re: State your unpopular film related opinion - - - Part 12
We didn't need the James Bond origin. I know it's an attempt to kind of ground the character, but...no need.
