What was the last movie you watched? (2013 Edition)


Recommended Posts

Wahlberg looks like really bad photoshop.

 

Its like they took the body of a body builder and assign to a kid the task to paste Wahlberg's head on top.

He's actually really built-up for this movie. It surprised me too.

 

 

3.5 / 10

 

A lot of this was filmed in my home town, with Brad Pitt even ordering 700 pasties for the extras. However, it was still a terrible film. The cinematography was average to poor, the plot was appalling and there just wasn't anything to make it enjoyable to watch. It was like Resident Evil only done badly.

 

 

I can't agree with these 3/4 out of 10 scores.  I think that is disappointment kicking in.  It wasn't great, but it had "good" points....I think 6 months down the line people would see this as what it is....distinctly average.

Last film I watched was "The World's End".  The end of the Cornetto Trilogy left me feeling like I wished they hadn't bothered.

 

It was like a football team who have a few good results through hard work, and then you see them with some fast cars and designer clothes....then the next outing tney have they think they've already won.

 

The slide into "the event" is so car-wreckingly awful it just put me off.

 

Great character of Gary King...shame we didn't get more into the character and his emptiness which this film seemed to base it's plot on.  We never really got to see it.  Shame.

 

I give it a 5/10.  The worst of the 3 for me.

No, the film really is that bad. It was let down by the CGI, plot, cinematography, pacing and atmosphere. By the end I just couldn't take it seriously. To me it represents everything that is wrong with modern blockbusters. Obviously it is a popular film and has been commercially successful but I really didn't enjoy it at all and found myself actively disliking it.

I certainly don't think it's been as successful as they wished.  The first 20 minutes for me were really rather good (bar the CGI).  I got that intense feeling of fear and desperation as our guys raced through the streets trying to keep safe.

 

The plot and the gallivanting around the world was a tad far fetched for me.  It COULD have been so much more, I agree....but it was an average flick for me.

I certainly don't think it's been as successful as they wished.

It made more money than the recent Star Trek film, which was the most successful in the history of the franchise. That's got to be more than they were expecting. Considering a sequel is in the works I think it's fair to consider it a commercial success.

You see I wasn't at all impressed from the beginning. The idea of running zombies that can infect people in less than twelve seconds eliminated any hope of tension, especially when combined with CGI that simply wasn't at all convincing. There was no immersion in the setting or emotional investment in the characters and the outcome was predictable from very early on.

War Z - 7/10

 

I found it pretty enjoyable, far better than the people slating it in this thread.  I love all this talk of cinematography and plot criticism, it's a zombie film FFS, not a remake of Night of the Hunter.

 

I think the only zombie flick I can truly give mass credit to the cinematographer for is 28 Days Later, that was pretty special.

 

Next on the list is to re-watch La Haine... but in a more attentive and slightly more sober state!

    • Thanks for liking it! 😊 That's Arch Linux with Gnome.
    • LOL. Can't even quote and edit a comment correctly. Figures you're a Linux user.
    • It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?
