The Last Movie You Watched (no spoilers)

[Clayton]

BvS

I went in with perfect expectations, and that allowed me to actually enjoy it. It ran a bit long in the middle, Eisenberg was baffling, the apex of the BvS fight was eye-rolling. But, at the same time, Affleck was actually pretty good and the way they introduced the "Other guys" was actually well done (I was not expecting that to be well done).

6.5/10

I think it actually has quite a bit of re-watch-ability value.

I thought the way they introduced the other guys was one of the worst parts about the movie other than the entire part about the supervillain. I think 6.5 is just about the right score for it, though. Lots of very literal visuals for everyone to get. Good music and sound effects but nothing extraordinary. Eisenberg looked like he was playing Riddler and not Luther and the final scenes with him were just really, really stupid. I thought Affleck was good until the end where its just him and Gadot talking and the whole screen just dies.

Wouldn't that last scene be blamed on Gadot, though?

As for the inclusion of the rest of the League, I liked it compared to what I was expecting. The timing of their intros was a bit jarring.

It pretty clearly should've been end of the movie or at the end of the credits. I would've been fine with it then. Putting it right in the rising action right before the climax? Seriously?

They had to have it prior to the climax. The discussion at the end was based on it.

They could've wrapped that discussion in there as well. Affleck could've just popped the laptop out of his jacket.

Regardless, this is why you don't try to put too much in one movie. Introduce that entire concept in a Flash solo flick instead.

Like I said. The movie was enjoyable, but it was still VERY flawed.

Saw Lucy again with Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman. By the same director who did the 5th Element. A quirky sci-fi film like Limitless where a drug that unleashes the full power of your brain gives you "super powers" Well done

I've watched it a couple times. ScarJo is Hot! The movie is as you described.

I was disappointed in the movie, but yeah. She is.

Star Wars; The Force Awakens. 5/10

Maybe the most overrated film in history. Dialog was too campy. cheesy IMO. Overall, not a horrible film, but given the nerdgasm heard 'round the world, it definitely qualifies as overrated.

After the abomination that was 1, 2 & 3, I totally understood the nerdgasm. It's light years better. Most importantly, it went back to the look and feel we loved so much.

So much so that it's actually just a remake of 4.

Haha damn near a carbon copy. Watch honest trailers and you see just how similar they were, I noticed while I was watching.

Great movie. I havent seen it in years, though.

It was okay. Got a little slow at the end and confusing. Considering the audio was in Korean and the subtitles were Spanish, I felt that I did pretty good figuring out what was going on. However, I had to read the wikipedia plot after the movie was over to understand the triggers of the actions.

Also had boobs.

Watched The Hateful Eight yesterday

Nice review

Lucy

Holy shit! That was NOT what I expected. This move was horribly marketed. It was nothing like what the ads made it out to be.

I am not sure if I liked it or not yet. It was certainly well done, though. Serious thought went into putting it together.

I think I would give it about a 7.5/10, but I am kinda on my heals regarding the flick, so that may change drastically in the coming days.
