What's The Last Movie You Watched? VIII - Part 3

[Kane52630]

Unknown (2011)

A great thriller where Liam Neeson carries it very well. As a huge fan of him I love when he get's to showcase his acting of a everyday man that gets to kick ass. There was several cues I saw that is a throwback to Darkman which I f***** love. My only disappointments is that it drag too much to where I wish they either fill in with more action or cut it. Also I wished that they explained or expanded more on the twist (the main twist) rather than show the twist and immanently ends it.
7.5/10

TWINE is a guilty pleasure. It's at least enjoyable. And with hot Bond girls. Marceau is gorgeous in it. I'd say it's worth watching for her.

But FRWL is the best Bond film.

FRWL is no higher than third or fourth place, behind Goldfinger, GE and arguably CR!

TWINE is a good story and Marceau is an excellent Bond girl who has the unique role of [blackout]being the only Bond girl who is the actual main villain.[/blackout] Plus I think Brosnan and Dench have the best rapport and chemistry of any Bond-and-M pairing and that film makes the best use of it. However, it still plods in the middle and other than the opening, mostly has a lack of spectacle throughout.

Not a fan of the series? Because you just gave the Best Bond film ever made 3.5 out of 5.

Maybe I should have given it a 4 because I did like it. I'm just stingy when it comes to giving out high scores is all.

I like Brosnan, but the only great Bond he was in is GE. TWINE is decent, if a bit stiff in direction. It has a good story and probably makes the best use of Bond and M's relationship in a film to date. It's just that Michael Apted struggles to make the action exciting (much like QOS, except that was only boring action).

Yeah, GoldenEye is a damn good one. I heard the last two weren't great so I wasn't sure if I wanted to waste my time on them. I'll probably get around to watching them eventually just to see them all.

DAD....you know just watch the first hour online and you'll come away thinking it was pretty decent. That movie has to earn a prize for the most uneven film/quality drop between acts for the early 2000s. It starts like a Connery Bond and then switches gears into Moonraker and AVTAK territory halfway through to horrific results. Be warned.

I'm still not quite sure who my favorite Bond is. I've liked them all so far, but it's hard to pinpoint the best since they all brought something different to the role.

I'd put those in my top five too.

Yeah, I loved the fact that

Spoiler

a) there was a female Bond villain and b) the primary Bond girl turned out to be the main villain.

Brosnan and M are great together yeah. I just love when she owns him in Goldeneye.

X-Men: First Class

8.5/10

This was the X-men movie I've wanted for a LONG time. I love X1 and X2 but this MIGHT be my favorite X-Men movie. Thank goodness they got Singer back to produce. I had a lot of faith in Matthew Vaughn and this shows me he should have directed The Last Stand.

Kevin Bacon does a fine job as Shaw. I figured Fassbender would be a big star after Inglourious Basterds but he's great as Magneto. McAvoy is also good as Xavier.

They basically corrected so many of the issues I had with X3 and Wolverine and told a strong story. Loved the 60's setting with the backdrop of the CMC. Plus it was all just so mod. I half expected Austin Powers to show up...though the cameos we DID get were Very cool. Gotta applaud the filmmakers because I had no idea.

I didn't like The World Is Not Enough for the simple fact that there was no freakin way, I could buy Denise Richards as a nuclear scientist.

 

[DACrowe]

Because all the other Bond girls before CR had such plausibility and quality acting (Barbara Bach the RUSSIAN Soviet superspy, Tanya Roberts the ace reporter, whoever played Doctor Goodnight being...well a doctor or a spy for that matter, Ursula Andress as anything beyond eye candy, etc.). I'm not saying Richards was good, it's just that while there have been some good performances from Bond girls before Vesper Lynd (Honor Blackman, Jane Seymour, Famke Jassen), but for the most part they have been always poorly cast when you think of the script. It's just Richards was such a well known bad actress there was a backlash. If they got a Brazilian with the same acting skill (or lack thereof), there'd be no outburst because that's par for the course with the series's tradition.

Plus, strangely the worst Bond girl in recent memory is Halle Berry, an Oscar winner. Go figure.

They Live

Actually completely plausible given how corporate imperialists exploit the working class.

On both the movie and what you said, well...minus the possibility of aliens being in control. t:



Not sure what to rate it, need to see it again.

Yeah, that's some Uwe Boll bs right there.

X-Men: First Class
9/10. I cannot remember the last time my expectations were so low and the results so awesome.

It's obvious the gap in the social divide has expanded. Our electricity bill rates have been increasing with each new bill, gas prices are the same way.

Not sure what to rate it, need to see it again.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

X-Men: First Class

5/5

8 long years after X2, I finally had that excited beyond belief feeling again after coming out of an X-Men movie

 

[Figs]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

More of a good thing. As I said in my review(if you can call it that)over in the X-men boards. I was saying how it's a damn great film but just a good X-men film. It was mainly because the first half isn't what we're all used to, lack of the team together. So it kind of threw me off in a way. After thinking about it long enough, I really do love it as both.

nah, don't be stupid... so anyways how's your sex life?

Oh my ****ing god, I laughed so hard on that line.

That line applies for the movie as well.
