rodiziorobs Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 The Lego Movie the other day. Fantastic movie. The only part that just really bothers me is when Emmett is able to move himself in the real world. Just doesn't really make sense considering everything before was JUST established to have happened because of the kid playing with the figures. Seems a lot like plot convenience to me It's because the "real world" part of the movie never happened either. It's all a part of the kid's imagination. He only ever imagined that he got into his dad's Lego, but really the basement is under lock and key. He pretended that his dad came around, reconciled with him, and eventually let him into the Lego room, but none of that actually happened. That kid is living a desperate fantasy from the first minute. Quote

That kid is living a desperate fantasy from the first minute. Uh gosh a bit depressing for a comedy movie a bit much? I just figured the "Lego World" is an alternate dimension fueled by imagination (of both the Father [Man Upstairs] and his Son) and that his son's playtime was altering the alternate world; whilst his father's obsessive collectiveness and order fueled the opposing forces in the world. After the Father and Son reconciled peace came to the Lego World; that is until the Daughter came to play... Also I bet money that Lord Business is the AFOL Father's sigfig... Just imagine LordBuisness343 as a Eurobricks user talking about how he thought he saw a minifigure move in real life once! Quote
Actor Builder Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Hamlet. It seemed to be a 2009 film from BBC. It was good. I'd surprisingly never seen it before, in any format, stage or film, so it was completely new to me. I enjoyed it. My favorite character was the Grave Digger. Quote
YellowCorvette Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Just watched the newest Ice Age movie, and here's my opinion.... I know this is a movie for kids, but what's up with those slapstick comedy content? Some going way too overboard (Like Mars turn into a lifeless planet because a UFO crashes into the planet) and some of the jokes are overused that it becomes annoying. Sure there's some good thing about the movie like the soundtrack, but the comedy content in the movie is just a big-no for me and the story is a mess. Quote

Iria Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 To Kill a Mockingbird. First time I'd seen it. A classic, but still depressing. Quote
Actor Builder Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 To Kill a Mockingbird. First time I'd seen it. A classic, but still depressing. Depressing indeed. But necessarily and realistically so. I saw a magnificent stage production of it recently. It was beautiful in it's depression. It's an odd story that way. Quote
PicnicBasketSam Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 The Muppets (2011). It was really good, but focused too much on the new (well, relatively speaking) characters at times. Quote
Columbus019 Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Ghostbusters........The original of course! Columbus Quote
xboxtravis7992 Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 My young cousin's came to visit; so we decided to take them to our local Drive In Theaters double feature. The first film was "Secret Life of Pets" it wasn't a classic... but it was cute and non-offesnsive. Animation was good (not surprising though), and the film was fun and traveled briskly through its run time. The second film was Angry Birds. It's pretty embarrassing that Lego wasted time on sets for this film. The story was basically the first 60 seconds of the video game, extended over a feature length film. It was awful. 70% of the film was without conflict, only following obnoxious characters I couldn't care about. My mom while watching the film broke down in laughter because the plot was so nonsense she said "I feel like I'm high! This is nonsense..." The adult humor in Angry Birds was far to overt, without Disney's genius subtlety, and far more overt than either Warner Brother's Looney Tunes and Animaniacs. Oddly enough, one of my younger cousins was in love with Angry Birds, and even while my mom and I were criticiszing it, this cousin yelled from the back of our truck bed how great the film was. He stayed awake all until the end of the film, at 1:00 am! So my list of worst films I have ever seen now includes: The Master of Disguise, Angry Birds, Troll 2, and Gentleman's Broncos (which ironically was filmed at the same Drive In Theater I saw Angry Birds at :P ) Quote
Ultron Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 New Ghostbusters. Wasn't as bad as people are leading it on to be. Quote
Manx Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 The World's End. I just love the Pegg/Frost combo. Quote
Im a brickmaster. Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Ip man 3 with a friend late at night. Havent seen 1 or 2 so we decided to start with 3! Quote
dr_spock Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Ghostbusters 2. The 1989 squel. It was gooey and oozy like the Blob. Quote
PicnicBasketSam Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Star Trek Beyond. Far and away the best of the Kelvin-timeline films. The Yorktown was one of the coolest things in any Trek movie, ever. Quote
-zenn Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Jason Bourne. Somewhat a dissapointment; although I sat on the most back row; the actionsequences where filmed too close up, making it hard too follow. Storywise it was 'meh'; not similar to the old Bourne movies, not being one step ahead of the guys he's up against and everything goes too smooth. Edited July 31, 2016 by -zenn Quote

I liked it more than Legacy What really killed it for me was how they followed every corny movie trope there was, like the ridiculous hacking sequences or Alicia Vikander's character saying 'enhance' in the first chase scene. Overall it was still enjoyable but maybe they should lay the series to rest. Quote
