What was the last movie you watched?

[robuko]

Man of Steel - I did not enjoy, the beginning was good but then there was too much boring fighting which just went on forever and ever. Straight to the bottom of the Superman rakings (Superman 3, Superman, Superman 2, Superman Returns, Superman 4, Man of Steel)

The Maltese Falcon - absolutely brilliant detective tale of double and triple cross. Looks like a stage play. Excellent acting from nearly all the leads, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre steal the show.

UHF (which was a recommendation from this forum) I enjoyed very much. Very funny. Michael Richards was fantastic as Stanley Spadowski. Remade as the new muppet movie, it seems.

On a recent horror kick

World War Z - my first ever zombie movie. Not impressed, the second half of the film looked like a 1970s Doctor Who Episode. Why didn't they just wait for the zombies to starve or die of thirst? Meh.

Shaun of the Dead - much scarier and better made than WWZ. Excellent until the end, which was a pretty lame deus ex machina.

Scooby Doo Monsters Unleashed - really enjoyable. The effects were superb, the cast were great, the settings imaginative. I guess it bombed because this cast didn't get another movie, but I liked it.

Saw Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters earlier today. It was an excellent film IMO, and was leaps and bounds better than The Lightning Thief (which was a good film). The fact that Sea of Monsters was much more accurate to its book counterpart than The Lightning Thief was does help. It wasn't entirely accurate by any means, but it was accurate enough for my tastes. So far my best film of 2013, having so far seen Wreck-It Ralph (very good), Oz: The Great & Powerful (decent), Man of Steel (very good, slightly better than Wreck-It Ralph), Monsters University (good) and Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters this year.

The Wolverine: I've never been much of a fan of X-Men nor ever seen one of their films - but I ended up watching this with a friend and enjoyed it very much. I found the plot interesting and the action exciting, definitely one worth watching and with no obvious major flaws.

Just saw this one last week. Being no major fan of superhero movies, I was surprised that I liked X-Men, in general, quite a bit. This one was a bit of a letdown in my opinion and just seemed so out-of-sync with everything else.

Saw Elysium last night; the story and villains were a little shallow but still a decent scifi thriller.

[Vindicare]

Saw 2 Guns. Great shoot 'em up action, good comedic moments, cool story.

I initially intended to go and see kick megablocks 2 yesterday, but in the end I watched grown ups 2 instead, it was so funny and if you are up for a good laugh, I highly recommend you see it

(Its filtering my words, whenI type in the film name it honestly comes up with megablocks, give it a try )

Every naughty word is replaced by a variation of M***B****, although a.s.s. is not a naughty word everywhere in the world.

Or most places to be honest... Still, an ongoing forum joke.

Haha, I love it I will go to see kick áss 2 rather soon though, I can't wait, and thanks, I only just noticed that

Saw Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters today with my mother (bonding time ). It was... eh. I liked the first half, but the second half was kinda boring to me.

I really hated how nobody really died. Three fake deaths. Great.

I really didn't like the Anabeth character, but I liked the cyclopes half-brother. I'd give it a D+.

Also saw Oblivion a few days ago too, another D+.

Just saw Elysium. Very good sci-fi flick. The story was interesting and there were some lovely slow motion scenes. But there were also many blood, gore and face exploding scenes so don't watch if you can't handle that kind of thing but if you can then go see it immediately.

If we're talking for the first time, Abraham Lincoln VS. Zombies. It was goofy, over the top, and I loved every minute of it! It's in no way historically accurate, but I still thought it was a lot of fun! "Emancipate this!" A solid, goofy action movie.

The latest movie I've actually sat down and watched was Ghostbusters, but we already know how awesome that movie is, so I won't say anything else other than if you haven't seen it, why are you reading this, go watch it!

Ah yes! I heard from Brad Jones that it was better than Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter... Is that true?

[Kintobor]

I haven't seen Vampire Hunter, but it's still a fun movie! I actually watched it remembering that Brad really liked it. Definitely worth seeing!

[Leo604]

Saw Silver Linings Playbook... Must see.

Probably my 3rd or 4th favourite movie of all time.

Finally got around to seeing Skyfall on Thursday; the only other Bond movies I've ever seen were Casino Royale and Quantum, but it was definitely superior than the latter.

Saw The Lone Ranger today. Another very good movie that is certainly worth watching. It baffles me that the critics gave the film such poor reviews. They must have been watching an entirely different film to the one I was watching, in any case.

For cinema movies in general, I am done until the release of Thor: The Dark World, so I guess I won't be posting in here for a while now.

[Daenerys Targaryen]

Watched Olympus Has Fallen again this past weekend - this time on dvd so my dad could it since he hates going to the theater... (something about the lack of a pause button and no vino/beer) Also watched The Core & Battle LA the other night. Can't help liking Aaron Ekheart, though I'm glade he seems to be forgoing anymore mindless chick-flicks.

[robuko]

Supergirl. SO much better than Man of Steel. Fantastic special effects and a rather moving story in parts. Top-notch cast too, although both Peter Cook and Peter O'Toole are underused. Nearly as good as Superman 3. I would love to see a Supergirl DC Superheroes set. Helen Slater and Peter O'Toole vs Fay Dunaway and Peter Cook. That would be awesome.

[Kez]

I watched Kick Áss 2 yesterday, it was a really great film with some extremely funny parts in it, if you like them sortif films Id advise you to go and watch it. I also watched step brothers aswell yesterday, that was one of the most funniest films Ive watched in a long time.

[Lord Rahl of Clannad]

To my surprise, I ended up going to the cinema again the other day to see The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones with my family. Having not read the book myself, I thought it was a decent film, even if numerous tings were left unexplained by the film. My sister, who has read the book, complained about how the film was inaccurate to the book for hours afterwards.

[Tobias_Jay]

Just saw R.I.P.D, it was a little silly but I thoroughly enjoyed the chemistry between Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds.

[ep3_lol]

Either Jackie Brown or The Conjuring, can't remember which. Both are superb.

[Brawl]

Now You See Me. It was pretty good. A little boring, but worth seeing. Most of the 'big twists' weren't really that surprising, the moving overall was just too easy to figure out. There was one big twist near the end that I never saw coming though.

[Leo604]

Drinking Buddies; some of the characters and parts of the plot were rather boring, but I think it was still a good and, importantly, realistic movie.
