[Lord Method Man]

The Getaway -- one of the worst, senseless movies I have ever seen.

 

Award for most obnoxiously obvious "twist" in a film, ever.

The Lego Movie

5/10

[Gladiatorus]

 

7.5/10

 

Niki Lauda's cast is impressive. Edition is superb. FX are quite good. Story is kind of meh but good entertainment. An enjoyable weekend movie.

Heaven is for real 6/10(read the book first)  and Lone survivor 8/10 (just finished reading the book too)

[D. S. Veteran]

 

Quirky, charming, engaging and extremely fun. Still, it's a Wes Anderson movie so it's not for everybody (it should be). I, for one, liked it very much.

[Kriz]

The Machine 6/10

 

[T3X4S]

Quite possibly the next best movie this year behind 'The Lego Movie', and 'Captain America 2'. 

Lego - 10/10

Cap 2 - 9/10

The Machine? - 9/10 as well. This movie is really amazing. 

Really ?  How old are you ?

[Lenny Bruce]

I watched Dr. Strangelove. That movie was fantastic!

[The Evil Overlord]

The Mummy resurrected,

0/10

 

total crap, I'd rather have my own balls served to me roasted, than sit through that again

[sanctified Veteran]

 

Interesting plot, strange pacing and the most "WTF?" ending I've ever seen.

[Razorwing]

Godzilla (1954) 6/10 for a really old movie

[LaP]

M?n som hatar kvinnor (2009)

 

Better than the american remake.

Was pretty good I think - in the 7 or 8/10 range :)

Was more entertaining than I had originally thought

 

7/10

I think if they stopped the movie when ViVi shot the Wolf - then it would have been oK - the whole last 15 minutes were like an attempt to show the movie had depth --  I just wished it went another way.

*** SPOILER ALERT (kinda) ***

Now, if they let Kevin Costner live only if he continued to do jobs for them - and we got to see him be some kind of awesome assassin - that would have been cool - or maybe thats what I was originally hoping for - I dunno.

The Mummy resurrected,

0/10

I think I saw someone do that on the Deep Web -

Godzilla. 

 

10/10. 

 

Absolutely perfect. 

 

• Bryan Cranston - Perfect for the job. Spoiler - Pity he had to die so early. Same with Juliette Binoche. 
• Aaron Taylor-Johnson - Perfect for the job (No, he doesn't have to be some delicate subtle wallflower with complex emotional traits. I think he does his job just fine: Spoiler  He plays a slightly detached son observing his supposedly crazy dad, and then he plays a sailor who wants to go back home, but through blundering luck, gets to where he wants to go, but  unfortunately happens to be the right man for the job.Massive spoiler He still fails though. )
• Elizabeth Olsen - surprisingly good as a character that literally is only there to either be terrified or be nice to Aaron T-J. 

 

• Godzilla - They nailed it. His appearances were appropriately dramatic, nicely framed/set-up, and limited enough that they didn't just become an orgy of glittery fireballs (Hello, Transformers). And he looks great. 
• Muto - now that was a nice terrifying monster. Spoiler And it was nice to see two of them, replete with sexual dimorphism. A horny couple popping nuclear warheads into their bits, destroying a city so they can have kids. What's not to like?

 

All the reviewers who were moaning about a lack of depth to the story and how it didn't contain enough anti-nuclear propaganda I feel completely missed the point of the (yes, somewhat limited) story, while injecting their own (liberal) biases into the film. 

It's a movie about primordial apex predators being awakened by the misadventures of man. It shows man as powerless against the massive forces of nature. Bullets, missiles, nuclear *******  bombs do absolutely nothing. The puny humans are elaborated just enough for us to feel sorry for their powerlessness, and shows that despite their efforts, nature keeps marching on. 

 

And I loved final battle. Even if the rest of the movie was terrible, that right there was A++ 11/10 worth the price of admission.

Use spoiler tags for recently released films, plase.

[Kriz]

A perfect film? ..and its Godzilla??? :|

 

And spoilers are usually hidden, my eyesight can still read what you've written so yeah thanks

Removing spoilers.

[D. S. Veteran]

Please use spoiler tags when talking about recently released movies.

 

If you've just watched the Sixth Sense (a very popular movie but still 15 years old), you can be a bit more liberal with spoilers (within reason) but tags are still the best way to go. Godzilla (which came out this week), PLEASE USE THE TAGS.

 

Use common sense, treat others like you would like to be treated and don't spoil the experience for those that haven't watched it.
