A Fancy Hat posted:The first "Frozen" is actually a great movie and is a top tier Disney animated film. Like, top 10 list easily. Nah, it's pretty mediocre. It's a lot of bland, meandering nothing with a showstopper number in the middle. kntfkr posted:yes! James Bond just doesn't work as straight faced action cuz the whole shtick is "hi, I'm James Bond, rock n roll super spy, here's my card, find me on the web using AOL keyword, James Bond." and it's fun because there's no such thing as a rock n roll spy and hell yup octopussy. The whole tone of the Daniel Craig movies is "OK u guys, I'm being super cereal this time." and the wackiest poo poo they'll attempt is like the bad guy has a lazy eye. it feels like the scripts were written in Microsoft Excel by accountants. gently caress the current Bond era Casino Royale is almost OK, they play around with it some and it's a fresh enough take to get away with it, but good christ it just keeps going. Everything since then is just dire though.

Casino Royale was legit and a nice breath of fresh air but each subsequent movie has actually made me like it less. then you get a movie like Spectre that wants to be a little silly but you've already established that NO this is the super serious dour bond so it's like are the film makers expecting us to take this turd with Austin Powers plot points seriously, or is it supposed to be camp? At least in the Dalton era when they tried to be marginally more serious than the Moore era they still started with poo poo like a dudes head inflating like a balloon or a car on skis with lasers so you knew exactly where you stood

Gone Girl was terrible. Ben Affleck has a secret man cave with forbidden toys such as... the board game Dominion that has no single player option? Does he fear his wife will see him enjoying card art? She learns how to fake a crime scene by reading Helter Skelter, but extensive details about a trial in 1970 wouldn't help much. In a case covered by national media she is sent home from a hospital still covered in blood.

Jennifer lawrence sucked in everything but winters boner and maybe silver linings playboy American hustle sucked a lot Joy was one of the worst movies ive ever seen in my life. All movie review sites are full of paid shills now, its just part of the marketing budget now. So much truly awful poo poo gets an 8 on imbd and 100 on RT. Im also shocked that my close personal friends RLM liked the new suicide squad, i wouldn't be surprised if they got paid to make that video. I wouldn't blame them though.

Actually if a movie has low audience scores and high critic scores on RT it's guaranteed to loving own because audiences legit get angry when movies don't do what they want them to like it's a product they're buying for a function instead of art created by human beings.

Movies like Midsommer, The Lighthouse, The Witch, The Green Knight, Hereditary, Possessor, The Favourite, Roma, Mandy, etc. etc. all have comparatively lower audience scores and all own extremely. Audiences just tend to hate anything that fucks with their expectations in serious ways instead of pleasant "I didn't expect that!" twists.

Casting a PoC actor as James Bond is, I think, a bad idea because the core of the franchise is a fundamentally imperialist, sexist relic. I have no doubt there are dozens of actors of every race and gender identity who could play the role well, but it would be an exercise in whitewashing, so to speak.

More than one reviewer I trusted gave the 2018 predator an overwhelmingly positive review and when I left the theater I learned that I had to trust my instincts from now on

I think the mechanism behind it is that normally if people don't like a movie or find it meh, they won't really have much of a response besides "whatever" and give it a middling score or not bother, but movies like the ones I listed make people MAD, like they legit leave the theater frothing "That was such poo poo, I hated it so MUCH." because the film patently refused to indulge them in the exact ways they wanted. They then rush to RT or IMDB to 1 vote that poo poo as hard as possible. Just scads of enraged people. Those movies unfailing are crazy in some way or having endings/moments that gut punch you or jerk you around mentally nonstop. Killing of a Sacred Deer is one of the biggest examples of this, any Yorgos Lanthimos really, it's a film predicated on the idea of brutally manipulating the audience into visceral discomfort and denying them the familiar structure and feeling they're desperately looking for. That poo poo owns, I love when a movie manages to be so well crafted that it can tangibly squirm around inside your guts.

You can't have a James Bond that would get shot on sight in america.

First person should be the default perspective for films.Vincent Van Goatse posted:Most of the praise that movie got was post hoc rationalizations by people who didn't want to admit they only enjoyed it because they got to see Scarlet Johansson starkers. On the other hand, the bit where she realises she doesn't have a vagina is the funniest scene of the decade, plus her best performance that I've seen. Hyrax Attack! posted:Nightcrawler should have won best picture. Seconded.

Eh, I get you but truthfully 90% of horror/sci fi has almost no logic and breaks their own rules. Just gotta suspend the disbelief and enjoy that ride. It was ok.

It was enough to take me out of the movie multiple times. Particularly in the grain silo where the grain is either quicksand or stable enough to support the kids with a metal sheet on top of them with a monster on top of that in the same scene. I enjoy the hell of of garbo horror like Jason X and Sleepaway Camp, but I kept hearing about how smart and clever AQP was before I saw it. I was expecting smart horror because I was told that's what I was going to see. Also Return of the Living Dead is one of the smartest horror scripts ever conceived and leagues better than any of the Romero films.

If anyone sells a movie to me as being so smart and clever it always seems like a red flag. Cabin in the Woods was okay but it wasn't this genius deconstruction of horror that everyone seemed to think it was (also Joss Whedon style dialog is still one of the worst things to happen to movies)

Tom Arnold would yell at Arnold if he shot civilians, as we gotta take care of the taxpayers in an election year, but if he kept it below three per mission it wasn't a failure.

Thanks  I’d like to add it also has one of the best movie soundtracks of all time. Burn the Flames by Roky Erickson is my current ringtone for this month. Titanic is a legit great movie if you’re a Titanic nerd like I was when I was a kid and enjoyed seeing the ship as it was painstakingly recreated to the letter. I watch it more for the people of the day and how life was in 1912 rather than for the Jack and Rose story (which isn’t as bad as people make it out to be, either). Also, the ensemble cast is incredible, and I’ll watch anything with Billy Zane in it.

M Knight Shyamalan's Old is the most compelling movie I've seen in a while. It is completely hilarious and unbearably stupid but it has bold creative moves and is overall interesting and memorable in its insanity. It approaches some kind of auteur piece, there's an obvious passion involved.

It also glorifies nerds, when nerds are in fact bad and have helped ruin the world and taken all of its capital for themselves. I'd totally watch a revenge of the jocks movie.
