Danwichmann Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Just finished rewatching the lotr trilogy.. My god they are so good. Yes they differ from the books (which I have read). But they are still a great trilogy. The cinetography is so good, for example minas tirath in return of the king is fantastic. Think Tolkein would be very happy with the way the books are portrayed But would be horrified by what they did to The Hobbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hobbit book is quite small and not very detailed yet they have decided to fill out 3 films.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Takashi Miike is mental, GOZU still ranks as one of the most bizarre films I've ever seen. Bought Chronicle, The Guard, Biutiful and Fast Times at Ridgemont High while I was out today, all for a fiver a film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hobbit book is quite small and not very detailed yet they have decided to fill out 3 films.. And changed all the details anyway. I know the LOTR was changed a lot as well, but for the most part the changes were needed, the books are too slow paced to be made into a film. The Hobbit didn't need so much change but they've been made for the sake of, much to the detriment of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed the changes in lotr were beneficial and helped it flow (for film purposes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 The more I see/hear of the Great Gatsby, the more I want to track down Baz Luhrmann and challenge him to some good old fashioned fisticuffs, and do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) HEY CED. POSTING UFC GIFS IS TEGIS' JOB. I hope you had his permission to do that. I am watching Fifth Element. It's still awesome. Edited April 21, 2013 by hogso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2013 I am watching Fifth Element. It's still awesome. Me too. **** amazing film. My favourite (not the best) film of all time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I can't agree there. It is 98% great, but that 2% Chris Tucker is enough to keep it away from any favourite list of mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted April 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2013 Just saw Oblivion. Unsurprisingly for a film that appears to have had its plot devised by putting every script to every sci-fi film ever in a tumble dryer and filming what came out, its spectacularly average.

Zatman Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 watched Dredd. Very entertaining. Karl Urban is woefully underrated actor(except the dreadful Pathfinder) also got around to watching Shooter, decent film but can hardly understand a word Wahlberg says in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Watched Sinister the other day. Really liked it. It never really scared me, but it was still unpleasant. 6.5/10. Then I watched Ladyhawke yesterday. Haven't watched it in almost 20 years and I still like it. Though I have to say that the soundtrack surprised me. Never thought of it at the time I saw it the first time, but pop music from the 80's suited to a film like Beverly Hills cop does not fit in a medieval fantasy film. 6.5/10 for that one too, I think.

GarethRDR Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Only watched Ladyhawke for the first time a couple years ago, and "what the **** is going on with this soundtrack?" is almost the first thing I remarked to the missus. Rutger Hauer as freaking wolf though. F**k yeah. Edited April 22, 2013 by GarethRDR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The Karate Kid remake. I'll say it... yeah, I quite liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 i didnt mind it, thought a good chunk of it was better, the fighting is a lot better IMO, i thought will smiths kid was a bit small though and it couldnt recreate the magic of the old ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
