Movie Reviews 2.0

Maybe We should spin off a spoilertastic thread for Star Wars. This one is getting a bit ridiculous for those like us who aren't opening the tags...

 

Spoiler

I agree. You want to create the Spoilerific thread?

 

Maybe we can have a Beyond3D Star Wars Spoiler and Speculation thread?

 

Well Star Wars just surpassed Avatar and is now the biggest movie ever in the US, although I'm not sure it will overtake it globally. Pretty impressive.

 

Avatar will be hard to beat. It was such a shitty movie to be sitting at 2.7 billion dollars. I guess the novelty of being the first good 3D movie really helped it.

 

Star Wars hasn't opened in China yet, which is the 2nd biggest market. So it's going to depend on how well the Chinese like it.

 

Well really as far as story originality, Force Awakens is on par or worse than Avatar

 

Finally took the plunge and watched Boyhood with my girlfriend. Can't remember the last time I was quite as bored for such an extended period of time. I'd imagine it's like that time you politely agree to spend an evening with some parents watching archived video footage of their kids growing up. To make matters worse, the kid in Boyhood is incredibly dull, obnoxious and leads a remarkably uneventful life (flipping through the pages of a lingerie magazine isn't really a big deal, you know). I know that was probably the point, but when it makes for an incredibly dull movie, your artisitic intentions can go to hell as far as I'm concerned.

 

Yes that was my point. It's completely derivative, but even worse it's derivative of it's own previous movie in the series.

 

Straight Outta Compton 9/10

Ice Cube put together a simply perfect docudrama taking the viewer through the inception of N.W.A and all the social effect, artists and amazing music it helped create over many years.

 

Just came out of the cinema.

Deadpool.

Abso-fucking-lutely BRILLIANT. I just can't fault it. So far above all the superhero drivel we've been getting, it should be in its own genre.

Genius.

 

Decided to watch Deadpool after work. So. Fucking. Magnificent.

Every bit you think is a bit ropey is followed by Deadpool taking the piss out of it, in the middle of the movie. Fourth wall be damned.

Absolutely no idea how it got passed the BBFC with a 15 rating here in the UK. Full frontal female nudity, swearing, death, blood, decapitation gore, sex, ultraviolence. Maybe the censor was laughing too much and typo'd the 8 as a 5?

 

Deadpool fuck yeah! Finally a Marvel movie I've really enjoyed in.... forever!

 

The game was pretty fun too...

 

All the non-dubbed showings here are fully booked

 

Just the thought of seeing Deadpool dubbed hurts my heart. It will be more of a butchering than some scenes in the movie itself.

 

Zoolander 2
I was expecting a biting satire of the fashion industry instead I got a stupid movie that wasnt even funny

 

Why on earth would you pay to see Zoolander 2 when Deadpool is out?

 

I didnt
