troon_villan Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Captain Philips was ace. Still not seen Locke, not sure if it'll hold me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 hmm, must admit I absolutely loved Locke. Accent aside which took some time for me to get used to, there were so many little things about Locke, in addition to the whole trapped one man in conflict schtick which I enjoyed. As well as the strong lead performance, the level of control in the direction, and some of the shots were well crafted. I think it had plenty of elements that appealed to me in general. Suppose, it's one of those films you figure out quite early on whether you''re going to really go for it, or get frustrated mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I couldn't escape the fact that half the construction stuff was utter bollocks, pretty much ruined it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 What did you hate about it? I found it boring and very one dimensional. And Tom Hanks sounding like Peter Griffin didn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have recently watched the latest Transformers movie. It has found a place in my 5 worst movies of all time. Utter drivel. I waited for the dinobots to turn up hoping against hope that the movie might improve, but if anything it actually got worse. This is genuine scraping the bottom of the barrel movie making and I regret the time I put into watching it. The only saving grace is that I had enough sense to turn it off after the dinobots arrived. I wish I could say how far through the movie was at that stage, but as there is no decernable plot I could have been in the middle or at the finale, the only thing I know for sure is that I was not at the start as it felt like a lifetime had passed to get to that point. Oh and the product placement was just ridiculous. Holy mother of god it was jarring, obvious, ham fisted and damn well disrespectful to the audience. Michael Bay should be ashamed of himself, but I fear he is instead laughing his tits off as he watches the unfathomably huge sums of money roll in for his travesty of a movie.

AVFCDAN Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Serves you right for watching it! All i can hope is that you pirated the movie so no money changed hands for you to see it. Never seen a second of any of them and don't plan on changing that any time soon. Re: Michael Bay, I wouldn't be surprised if he thought they were great movies and loved by the public, its got to be the biggest grossing franchise of all time surely? Unless people start voting with their wallet we'll keep seeing them, can't say it bothers me though because i will just keep avoiding them. Only disappointing thing is that people are missing so many quality movies every year to watch mainstream shite like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 15, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2015 The second Transformers was utter drivel so I can't imagine what tripe they're serving up these days! (In before Designer1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packoman Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) I don't know what people expected from the Transformers films. They are about giant robots at war, there's really not much more that could have been done. Edited January 15, 2015 by packoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 its great how they managed to change all the characters, reboot it and yet it was exactly the same as every other transformers film... i think the money has started to dip for the franchise in the yankland and european markets but they have quite cleverly angled the film for the asian market (additional scenes, chinese product placement, hong kong) and that is picking up the slack and more some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 No Best Actor nomination for Jake Gyllenhaal for Nightcrawler I've not seen Birdman and hear Keaton should romp the award but to not even get a nomination was a shock guess the brown envelope didn't have enough in it ...

packoman Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) No Best Actor nomination for Jake Gyllenhaal for Nightcrawler That's crazy, I actually thought he would win it. (Haven't seen Birdman either though) Also disappointed American Sniper is nominated but not Fury. Edited January 15, 2015 by packoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Really enjoyed Nightcrawler. Jake Gyllenhall's performance is fantastic- very creepy. Great to see Riz Ahmed as well. Not sure how Gyllenhall didn't get an Oscar nod. Looking forward to watching Whiplash. I said last year to the wife that Miles Teller will be a big star (she didn't care and had no idea who he was). I saw him in That Awkward Moment, 21 & Over and Two Night Stand. Although pretty average but fun films you could tell he was a star in the making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough you haven't seen his best work prior to Whiplash which is the spectacular now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted January 15, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2015 Jake should win an Oscar for Nightcrawler. Is Cooper nominated for his performance in American Sniper? If he is then it's a joke that Jake isn't in it, Cooper just plays a typical red-neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
