I hate that which you love: movie reviews

[Reply #680 on:]

yeah, the best IM villains are cold war throwbacks (mandarin, Titanium Man, Crimson dynamo)

will probably see this movie tomorrow or sunday

[Reply #681 on:]

Everyone's seeing Iron Man. We saw Superhero movie last night for some reason, and we could hear something loud in the cinema next door. One friend said "what's on in there?" the next one said "Iron Man I think" then I said "ironing his pants."
Yes. I'm sure it'd be more interesting than Superhero movie, can't remember any of the 'jokes'. The preview was on, looked pretty cool. Although right at the end of the preview it had that whisper type thing where he goes "I am Iron Man" which made us laugh quite a lot. Strange thing.

[Reply #682 on:]

Just got back from the 9:40 showing of IM and was pleasantly surprised, liked the story, acting, special effects, and action, good times all around

Iron Man

I was going to give this an A-, then I realized that I seriously can't think of anything wrong with it, so...

I'll have to give it an A. Great way to start the summer blockbuster season...

[Reply #684 on:]

Why didn't you give it an A+?

[Reply #685 on:]

I Am IRON MAN

This movie was great, not over the top or too fantastical, just solid.

I liked Stan Lee's appearance, it reminded me of a line from Mallrats that he said concerning Hefner and himself.

A+

It takes a lot to get an honest A+ out of me.

[Reply #687 on:]

^So which movies have gotten an A+ from you then?

Unless you get radically different previews, that'd have been the intro to Black Sabbath's Iron Man, and it's an awesome ominous metallic voice, not a whisper. Boo!

Iron Man

A close-second for best superhero movie ever (#1 being Batman Begins).  Funny, well-paced, great actions.

What's the deal with The Dude being the villain in Marvel movies?  First Hulk and now this.

Anybody who left before the credits were over needs to be slapped around for missing the best scene in the entire movie.

[Reply #689 on:]

Thanks for the heads up.

[Reply #690 on:]

I wanted to stay but everyone wanted to leave.

But I've read up on what happened.

Iron Man

*Reads Nix's post*

Shit.

B+

[Reply #692 on:]

Batman Begins #1 superhero movie!?  Nah.....

I think I made my Iron Man review in the other thread... but basically it was a good movie, well worth the money I spent.

I think the plot progression got sketchy at times, and the whole bad guy thing seemed anti-climactic with odd motivations..... but...

The cast was just perfect.  And for most of the film everyone seemed believable.  Do you think they were trying to tell us there will be a sequel near the end?

That's right motherf**ker, I broke in your house and broke all your stuff.  You think you're the only motherf--ckin' superhero in this marvel universe?  Get this... what you think about a sequel!?

Anyone catch the Arrested Development references?

[Reply #693 on:]

I'm bumping this movie up to a, RISKY.
*ding ding ding*

[Reply #694 on:]

For some reason I find it hard to imagine winna saw this movie. He probably would have had to go to a theater...in public...in the outside. And that just seems distinctly un winna-like. Either Nick is outright lying, or somebody else in posting on his account.

[Reply #695 on:]

Or he could have pirated it

[Reply #696 on:]

Pirating? On the internet? I find that hard to believe. Good day sir.

One-Sentence Movie Reviews

Iron Man:
Makes a shitty superhero awesome by getting a crazy coke-head to play him with drugged-up gusto!
10/10

Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness:
When a stop-motion skeleton tells you it 'has a bone to pick with you', you know you're Bruce Campbell.


King Kong (Peter Jackson remake):
Could have used less stuffy human drama and more of the damn giant ape, preferably fighting Godzilla.


The Host:
Best Pseudo-comedic Korean mutant monster film to come out in a long time.


Planes, Trains & Automobiles:
You can start by wiping that fucking dumb-ass smile off your rosey fucking cheeks, and acknowledge this fucking movie as one of the greatest fucking comedies ever made.


Bee Movie:
Would have been better if they'd made it funny.


Planet Terror:
Okay, it's mounted to her sexy stump, but how was she actually firing the leg-gun?

[Reply #698 on:]

What are you, a franchise now?

No Planet For Old Men
I mean country. I really did. 

If you liked Fargo, you'll like this. I did, so I did. Definitely an overlauded movie, but griping about the fine detail is kind of petty, especially when there are so many other "artistic" films that get away with it. The existentialist waxing by Tommy Lee Jones grated on my nerves, but it's the price I had to pay to see Woody Harrelson do anything at all with himself these days. And then get shot by a pneumatic plunger. 

C+

I saw it again tonight, still great, saw Captain Americas half finished shield on Starks desk this time (when Pepper catches him getting his armor taken off).

[Reply #703 on:]

Felidae
a good arty farty animation movie but the end was too much like the Lion King. B+

Horton Hears A Who
I was shocked to see how good of a movie this was. I was thinking it was going to suck like the other ones did but didn't. A

Jeff Bridges, Nick Nolte, whatever.  I *still* haven't figured out the last 30 minutes of Hulk.

[Reply #705 on:]

It's not meant to be figured out...

[Reply #706 on:]

I thought it was pretty straightforward.

As the only person who liked it, I'm a little peeved that Ang Lee's interpretation of the Green Goliath is being discarded in the new film.

[Reply #707 on:]

I liked it too, it wasn't perfect but perfect movies are rare.

[Reply #708 on:]

Regarding the planned Avengers movie foreshadowed in the after-credits scene of Iron Man:

I've read that Captain America and Thor are to be included. I always felt that the main 'traditional' lineup of heroes in Avengers comics was a bit B-list. I'd like to see a somewhat modified dream-team if they make an Avengers film, using more popular Marvel characters that have already found success on the big screen. Inter-studio complications be damned - I want to see Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, Downey-Jr's Iron Man, and Norton's Hulk all together in one movie.

Captain America is a lame-ass.

But he was the villainous Navy guy in Under Seige.

Uh, no, that was Gary Busey.  But, since both are disheveled, blond, alcoholic madmen, I can see how anyone could easily think that...

I've always thought cap was a bad ass, he didn't have IM's suit or Thor's hammer, but he still managed to kick some ass and bust some skulls, particularly the Red Skull

Hey, I got an idea: Shut up.

I mean like, your entire outfit is the flag. Patches on your shoulder are okay I guess. It still makes you a mindless nationalistic zombie, but I can let it pass.

[Reply #716 on:]

Don't forget the Boy and Girl  Scouts!

I'm pretty sure Gary Busey and Nick Nolte are the same guy.  He just has a really good (or really bad) agent.

[Reply #717 on:]

You should have some more respect for Captain America, coldangel; he died recently.

So did Stilt Man. We'll never forget his teachings. 

[Reply #718 on:]

At least, before he died, he told America to shove it. I respect that.

[Reply #719 on:]

I don't know about Thor...

But Captain America is the shit, and this was prominently featured in the Civil War story arc... Captain America is the ideal of America personified... That is total badassery sir.
