knightni Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I finally saw Avengers : Age of Ultron. I really liked the first movie, but this one was underwhelming to me. The Scarlet Witch/Quicksilver angle was flat to me because they couldn't use their true back stories due to the X-Men separation. I could see the tension between the characters creating the next Captain America film, but the whole film felt hollow and unsatisfying. The entire script seems to have been made as a continuation to the Marvel film theme as opposed to making one quality film. 2.5 stars out of 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I felt "The Martian" was pretty great. The visuals are unbelievable. I have no clue about the scientific accuracies but I bought into it. It was fun, dramatic, funny, and interesting. Very glad it never went melodramatic which other movies would have. I'm relieved Ridley Scott finally made another great movie.

Doug: In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is a magic xylophone, or something? Ha ha, boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder. Homer: I'll field that one. Let me ask *you* a question. Why would a grown man whose shirt says "Genius at Work" spend all of his time watching a children's cartoon show? [embarrassed pause] Doug: I withdraw my question.

Boopa1219 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The first and only trailer to The Force Awakens comes out on October 19th, according to the reliable Star Wars News net. They are the only site to come out and put their name on the line and attach it to a date. Talked to someone at the film festival office who works with Syncopy, and you'll get more info about the new Christopher Nolan film before the holidays.

knightni Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Watched Man of Steel last night. I really enjoyed it. There could have been better casting with Lois Lane, but I really enjoyed Henry Cavill as Superman. 3 Stars out of 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean first and only to be played in theaters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peasants. /flips hair and drinks tea with pinky out lol, damn hipster. I readily admit I am not "hip". I guess to me that is a distinction without a difference (teaser vs trailer), or maybe at most a difference of scale (trailers maybe have more material).

Kyyle23 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 They keep trotting out Peter Pan every 5-10 years and call it a groundbreaking new take of the movie. The only one I enjoyed was Hook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 08:39 PM) Which I think was originally trashed by critics, correct? I was a huge fan of Hook. So was I, but I was also about 10 at the time. No idea how well it's held up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 People hated the casting and plot. It's an okay film, but unless it was a film of your childhood, you won't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hook is still fun to watch with the kids. It isnt a oscar winner, but I enjoyed the "What happened after peter pan grew up" take on the story, and I thought Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins all nailed their roles. When my kids watch Jake and the Neverland Pirates, i still think of Bob Hoskins as Smee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched that way more than the Disney Peter Pan movie as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
