But his points are very valid. It's bad filmmaking. Edited July 27, 2016 by Chindie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely nothing wrong with digging a little deeper into the technical aspects of a movie, it's something I tend to do upon watching something multiple times. Some things (good and bad) aren't always obvious upon first viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just hits all the right spots for me. It's easy to watch, it's entertaining and it's well shot. These make it easy to watch it many times.

Xela Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I love Trainspotting, Its probably one of the films I've seen most. More than ten times at least. i remember watching it at New Street Odeon, having got in with my fake ID. I was blown away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree i feel sorry for people who can't switch that off when watching films for the first time though, got no real problem with people dissecting stuff, especially stuff that is in the best ever conversation cant think of many films I've even considered the technical guff while watching it, even fewer that I've considered it poor because of it, BvS being an exception 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sharp enough to notice certain elements the first time I watch something (unless they're absolutely glaring and on the nose), but one of the delights for me in watching a truly great movie is garnering new details (however slight) after a couple of viewings.

tonyh29 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Kong Skull Island looks kinda interesting even if it is the 980th variation of a Kong movie the trailer is available online for people to criticise the inconsistencies in the way the wind is blowing the fur on Kong and flaws in the lighting etc ...

Chindie Posted July 27, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2016 They've scaled Kong up in that to set up him as a viable opponent fit the new Godzilla in a later movie. So if you go see it you'll be responsible for another big budget blockbuster suffocating good movies in Hollywood. Movies that know how to shoot their scenes, and don't have big blockbuster endings with waves of identikit cannonfodder enemies and heroes that go all invincible at the end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted July 27, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2016 I'm not too sure about that becomes invincible thing incidentally. I'm thinking through the movies chalky being referenced and I'm not sure I can think of an incongruously invincible moment of anyone in them...
