maqroll Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Trailer looks good. Maybe a movie best enjoyed with herbal accompaniment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I know very little about Doctor Strange. But the trailer looks good and Marvel can turn anything in to a home run, it seems, so I'll trust they'll get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted April 13, 2016 Moderator Share Posted April 13, 2016 Doesn't hurt that Charlize Theron seems to be one of those women who gets better with age. Hommena hommena. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 13, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2016 I like Prometheus but on the level of it being a dumb movie, which it never should have been and wasn't intending to be. The amount of stupid shit in that film is mind boggling. Looks awesome though. Like any Ridley Scott movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so at the time (cinema) but I watched it again on TV the other month and it was better the second time around , it's still not a great film , but it wasn't as bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 13 hours ago, Chindie said: Whilst there are criticisms of BvS due to it's take on the characters, it's been panned mostly for pretty large problems with most facets of the film. It's more than disingenuous to suggest people are down on the movie because they're fanboys who are pissed off that it's not a photocopy from the page. I didn't hate it, whilst not thinking it's great either, and my issues spanned both the adaptation and the film making. The latter is more important, and there really are elements of the fundamental fabric of that film that do not work. The twist the whole film turns on being a prime suspect. Spoiler For me it was good but the whole explanation of batman and superman fighting was ridiculous. Taking Lex Luthors word for it? i doubt Batman would have done this. Also the explosion in court room, sorry no way would superman not know that would have happened. Those were the two biggest flaws in the film for me, otherwise I thought it was a good film. Wonder womans entrance was epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted April 13, 2016 Moderator Share Posted April 13, 2016 Just now, tonyh29 said: No Country for Old Men says Hello .... I enjoyed that though. I didn't enjoy the ending, mind. There's an element of snobbery around 'getting' or 'not getting' the ending but for me it left the audience cold. I'd certainly watch it again though. Brolin, Bardem, TLJ, Woody. Cracking cast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War films bore the crap out of me. It's not a genre I have any interest in whatsoever, and sitting through a notoriously, and unashamedly, inaccessible marathon of an effort is not my idea of how to spend a Friday evening.

American war films generally speaking are way over the top and usually involve a shouty general who bullies everyone at some point.

Rodders Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I've only seen the Apocalypse Now Redux version and I thought it was mostly excellent - with the notable 30 minute or so nonsense with the French colonialists iirc which was a complete irrelevance and added nothing to the story, whilst simultaneously disrupting the rhythm of the film.
