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

[Watchman]

Blue Valentine

 

[Ponyboy]

Moon with Sam Rockwell.

 

[Hunter Rider]

It's a TV movie but that doesn't excuse the lack of cohesion in the story and characters, or the stilted acting. 3/10

 

[3dman27]

green lantern emerald knights A+

 

[nite-owl]

8.5/10

 

[misjuevos]

x-men first class

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

The reception I gather seems to be that the first X-Men is good, X2 is better and the best, X3 is poor and the worst of the bunch and Wolverine has a mixed reception, not horrible but not good, either. FC seems to be neck and neck with X2 as the best-received movie. But I'll give the other four a look sometime and decide for myself.

On the subject of a Magneto origin movie,

Spoiler

I don't think it's really necessary after FC. I think everything that could've been done in a Magneto origin was pretty much covered in FC. In some ways FC was pretty much a Magneto Begins movie as was, even though it did a pretty good job of focusing on most of the other mutants.

As for Wolverine: Origins, I think it's worse than X3.

Agreed to your spoiler.

 

[The Morningstar]

I thought Wolverine and X-3 are equally terrible. But in different ways. X-3 is too muddled and overcrowded. Wolverine is just so boring and predictable, like it's going through the motions.

Anyway, just watched The Town for the first time. Great movie. Affleck and Renner amazing. I'd say Renner overshadows him, but that's mainly due to him playing a more entertaining and crazy character. I liked the whole thing with McCray falling for the hostage and the conflict that created. The scene where Jem appears when they are on a date is "squirm in your seat" intense. Affleck has shown himself to be a great director.

Not going to disagree with you on that at all. I can certainly see anyone wanting to argue any of them anyway. Both as bad, X3 worse than Wolverine, vice versa.

For me X3 has more redeeming qualities, such as the dynamic between Magneto and Professor X was still enjoyable and well done. Despite their differences, there still is a level of respect and even though that friendship had ended long ago, traces still existed.

That alone for me makes X3 slightly better. imho.

 

[Punisher Rising]

I'll see if my library has any of the other four X-Men movies to borrow.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Spoiler

Go **** yourself.

 

[Panthro]

Die Hard (1988)

Spoiler

You know you've watched this movie too many times when it suddenly occurs to you that at the end Bruce Willis should have been carried out on a stretcher & placed in an ambulance.

Liked it so much I just took it back to the rental place, then stopped by Wal-Mart on the way back and bought a copy. Excellent. 9/10

There are things that happen in both movies that made me unhappy, but X3 in particular really angers me to this day. Especially since it was following X2. To have that film still in my conscious while watching X3 really made that movie even worse. It also hurts that neither film is well made at all. the scripts are horrible. Some of the dialogue in both films are so cliche it's unbelievable. the directing was so damn weak in both. Man. I think both betray their characters, but X3 even moreso to the point where a lot of the characters were just in name only. I couldn't even enjoy the action all that much, because it felt so hollow. I saw someone on another site was compare the golden gate bridge lift in X3 to the sublift in First Class. The difference is nuts.
