Movies - General Discussion

Man of Steel suuuuuucked. The actor playing Superman was fine, but the story/plot was just a bunch of overcomplicated mumbo jumbo. And I'm guessing they took some of the major deviations from traditional Superman themse from some more recent comic book story or reboot, but I found some of it to be very annoying.

Yeah.. I wasn't a fan of the movie either. The fight scenes were horrible and drawn out for what seemed to be an eternity of punches to the face in rapid succession. It was really played out.

(But remember, I LOVE all Michael Bay, Christopher Nolan, and Zack Snyder movies).

Just got done with capt. phillips. That was an extremely intense ending and well acted movie. high emotional impact

Thor 2 was above average. Good story, not well directed... But that makes sense because it was the director's 1st big movie.

Yeah that's a pretty decent assessment from my vantage point as well.

I finally watched Dallas Buyers Club last night. The acting was superb. Matthew McConaughey has always been a favorite of mine but he's completely getting away from those "Aww schucks" type of characters and is completely reinventing himself into the person he's playing.

While watching DBC and True Detective you almost lose sight that this is a movie star because it's like you're watching a real person and not an actor. He's taking that leap that Tom Hanks did. Tom Hanks went from Bachelor Party and Bosom Buddies to one of the best actors on the planet. McConaughey is doing the same thing

[-Deborah-]

Totally agree. It's just fascinating watching him because he has totally let himself become the character.

Just saw American Hustle. Thoroughly enjoyed the movie. The characters had me hating them at various times and loving them. Great acting by Bale, Adams and Lawrence!

I've seen "Gravity", "Delivery Man", and "Hunger Games Catching Fire" in the last couple of weeks.

I thought "Gravity' was really well directed and had great effects. I thought it was a little short though and lacked plot... but that isn't necessarily a bad thing... the movie was DIFFERENT then all those crap sequels that are predictable and have been owning the box office the last couple of years. Sandra Bullock was great.
Speaking about sequels, "The Hunger Games Catching Fire" was actually really good (I guess sequel movies based off books have a good chance to be good) I thought the first half was incredible... then they got to the action of the movie for the 2nd half, which was entertaining but not as great as the 1st half.
Better than the first "Hunger Games."
"Delivery Man" was blah. I like the actors (Vaughn, Pratt, and Cobie Smulders)... but everything just seemed off. Chris Pratt is a lawyer in the movie??! What the. Pratt is incredible, but he is one actor that shouldn't have a serious/ boring role in a movie... like being a lawyer.

That site I posted even has need for speed on it. I wasn't that impressed with wolf of Wall Street.

I saw Divergent last night. It was a little heavy handed and cheesy. It didn't seem as "sophisticated" as Hunger Games.

Watched American Hustle last night. I can definitely appreciate some of the great performances in the movie. The acting was just damned good by the entire cast. Maybe I just hyped it up so much but I thought it was going to be better.
