I'm relatively new to Hitchcock's work as well! Recently saw Psycho and just adored it. Worry not, for BttF will be added to my flickchart in no time. I'll see it pretty soon :]

The Silence of the Lambs is an awesome thriller, but I don't think it's the pinnacle of psychological films. I reckon Se7en is a lot better on different levels. The Green Mile is a great movie I used to visit all the time, it definitely needs a re-watch because I love the characters.

Thanks! I actually sometimes feel like something of a lightweight on here compared to some other Flickcharters. I'm 33 years old, but not very educated in films that are older than I am, and there are some users on here who have ranked twice as many (or more) films than I have. It's crazy!

Of course, I don't consider myself a big student of "film" or anything; I'm just a guy who likes movies.

I've watched 10 so far in 2013; on my second Flickchart account, MrKlan, I'm keeping track of just the films I saw this year.

And the funny thing is, I just granted Fellowship as my number 1 movie today, and also Raging bull moved from 9 to 10. We seem to have very similar tastes, have you really only watched 195 movies or you havent added all of your films in yet?

One of those rare occasions where everything in a movie was just perfect. The soundtrack, the action, the characters, the quotability and the memorability.

I'm glad we share the same opinion when it comes to Jurassic Park.

I have to say Dennis Nedry and Ian Malcolm as two characters elevate Jurassic Park into classic status, AND after viewing it in 3D, I think it will possibly jump into my top 5.

Its nice to have someone on here with similar tastes in movies. The Lion King is the greatest animated movie of all time. On top of that there are two different scenes in the movie that make me lose my marbles and cry. Casablanca is a masterpiece. The cast for that movie was insane; Bogart, Bergman, Lorre,and Rains.

I finally went with Django and ditched The Master. It was okay, man. Good entertainment but I'm not overly impressed. The film is solid in the first half, still great when Calvin is introduced but becomes downright insufferable after King Schultz's death. I know this is a Tarantino film but there was just too much blood, or should I say too much unnecessary blood. I honestly cared more for Christoph's character than I did for Django.

Wouldn't rank it among QT's best films. And while I've yet to finish the Kill Bill series (saw only some parts), I suspect Vol. II is slightly better. Maybe I should've watched The Master :(

Yeah after my last viewing of the film (Reservoir Dogs). I was persuaded to put it in my top 10 and I wasn't disappointed.

That would be great having Seven Samurai as your 250th. I am still deciding on what's gonna be my 700th.

Don't worry it's still in my top 20, and probably won't be leaving anytime soon. I just found it weird to have all three Star Wars' films in my top 10, so I just picked the weakest of the trilogy.

And I'm not sure when I'll watch LOTR again, it's hard to say.

I might give The Conversation a re-watch in the near future, with a lot more attentiveness to detail and craftsmanship. I thought Gene Hackman was decent enough as well.

I am watching Jurassic Park 3D quite possibly tomorrow and I'm really amped for its release. Nostalgia is literally gonna be radiating off the screen.

I watched Jurassic Park, I the transfer onto 3D was UNBELIEVABLE, I honestly can't believe that movie was made 20 years ago. A few slow moments, but overall the nostalgia got the best of it. Just seeing Nedry, Arnold and Ian Malcolm on screen was a blast.

You got to know something about me. I love over-the-top action movies! That's why 300, Shoot 'Em Up and Kick-Ass are in my top ten. Do I think they are the best movies of all time? Of course not, but they bring the entertainment that brings pure joy. But you will notice that I love classics like Taxi Driver, 12 Angry Men, The Godfather and The Treasure of Sierra Madre as well. My point is, I can enjoy a variety of genres.

As I said Kick-Ass is really over-the-top, I don't know if you like that. It does have elements of comedy also, so if you don't like the action, you may get a laugh or two. However, the movie is quite dark at times also. Really, the movie throws you around, you don't know what's coming. Some critics like movies consistenlty funny, or dark. But i enjoy not knowing what's coming.

I love Nic Cage when he's crazy, like he is in Kick-Ass. His action scene (along with the music) in the warehouse is one of my favourites in the movie, and he's hilariously channeling Adam West from the old batman tv show. But my favourite has to be Hit-Girl, she's a big reason why it's in my top ten.

I'm totally avoiding the trailer for Kick-Ass 2. I don't want to know ANYTHING walking in.

If you ever want to ask me anything else, don't hesitate.

If John Harrison can rival The Joker, then Into Darkness has a great chance to be very high on my list. I do love me a strong villain. :) That's another reason I like the batman movies, how bloody tough the villains make it for batman.

Does it look like I'm a crazy fanboy with two batman movies at the top? I always wonder that. Just so you know, I'm not, you're totally allowed to be disappointed with The Dark Knight Rises, because hey, all of it's subjective anyway. Do you agree?

That's why I don't understand all the crazy bickering on The Dark Knight vs The Avengers matchup.

I think the people involved with Star Trek Into Darkness have done their best to avoid saying what exactly Cumberbatch's role is in the movie. However, the more that's revealed about the film, the more it appears that he is not playing Khan. Personally, I'm good with whomever the main villain is. I just want to see the movie! :)

Yeah, he copied my comments multiple times, and every time I confront him with it, he apologizes and a couple of days later he starts copying my comments again. Not that it REALLY bothers me, but it does raise an eyebrow. I'm pretty sure he has some sort of autism or another mental disorder. He's 17 or 18 years old, but he has this bizarre way of talking. I basically trolled him, and he fell for it. I did not expect that. It seems like I scared him away, at least for now. I actually know him from YouTube. It's a long story, trust me ;)

When it comes to Inception, there's no villains, because the story is following the villains. Think about it, what has Cillian Murphy's character done to deserve what happens to him? Nothing. We root for them to succeed because that's who the movie invests time into, but for all their charm and likability, they're truly the villains.

You're right about the subconscious as well. I wouldn't call you an idiot. But if your looking for the villains that you can actually see, it's them. However, you could count Marion Cotillard's character as the face of his subconscious.

I think it's worth a watch, but to be honest, my score is flattering, I need to fix it. I think I ranked it so high because i enjoyed some of the visuals.. I won't tell you what I didn't like because that'll probably be in your head when it gets to that part. Who knows, you may love the scenes I'm talking about. My rating is probably closer to 60%.

Still thinking about the list. You can godamn wait! ;) Sometimes I think it would be funny to say all this stuff without emoticons. Then someone reading my comments would think I'm a maniac.

Oh, well, I honestly have not much else to say about Kick-Ass, shane summed it up perfectly. I'll try.

Kick-Ass is one of the best superhero movies ever made. I know that's a strange thing to say nowadays, because most people see The Dark Knight as the best superhero around. But Kick-Ass has absolutely everything I want from a superhero movie: a menacing villain, a fantastic soundtrack, bloody over-the-top action, memorable characters, great performances, an origin story that doesn't overshadow the rest of the movie (I'm looking at you Batman Begins and Captain America), a dark tone, and more. It's actually one of the most realistic supehero movies ever made in my opinion. Well...realistic in some aspects. How the main character becomes Kick-Ass is the most realistic transformation into a superhero I've ever seen. No one zillion dollars and a shitload of gadgets, no bite from a radioactive spider, no radiation, none of that. That makes it so unique. Ofcourse the action scenes aren't realistic, but the motivations of the main character certainly are. The movie does have some small flaws, but overall, I absolutely adore it, and it's the movie I probably rewatch the most.

That's a short summary for you! ;)

I want to point out that Dead Heat and He'll Come to Frogtown will only work if you don't take them seriously at all.

I also want to say The warriors as well. It's from the 70's, but I had to write it.

I also always tell people to watch Vampire's Kiss. It's not an action movie, but if you like crazy over-the-top Nicolas Cage, then it's the king. Want to see Cage eat a live cockroach? Well you can if you want, the whole movie is on YouTube. But again, if you take it seriously, you won't enjoy it. I personally think it's amazing! It's one of my favourite comedies of all time. But I guess it depends on your sense of humour.

All very fair points. But I enjoy too much else about the film to have those parts kill it for me. I wouldn't of hated the twist if they were equals, but she treats him like her dog. However, I did enjoy that he was going to defy her orders and murder batman before catwoman intervened. It just makes me think that he could of had some input and it wasn't all Talia's plan. What I disliked more was how Talia died, it didn't look real at all!

You should watch how it should of ended take on The Dark Knight Rises on YouTube if you haven't already. They're just some short clips where they show what they would of changed to movies. The Hobbit is there as well.

The Godfather Part III is a great movie in my opinion. Sofia Coppola is the only thing in my opinion that holds it back from being as good as the first two. You should definitely watch it and tell me what you think about it.

I'm sure I'll get around to watching Casablanca someday because it is so loved. Ha Ha. Django Unchained is amazing, I've actually seen it 4 times, it is very rewatchable just like Tarantino's other films. I also noticed that Inglourious Basterds made quite the jump on your list, I'm glad to see you liked it this time around.

Django has so many great scenes, it's hard to pick just a few. Ha Ha. A couple of my favorites are: When they ride into Candieland, the last scene, and my favorite is probably the dinner scene. DiCaprio is amazing in that scene.

I am yet to see Prometheus in 3D... The thing that really drew me into it was probably the visual grandeur and the technical side of things. Apart from that the plot is a bit of a wreck and the characters are nothing special.

I think Thor is mediocre film. I thought the everything about it was one dimensional and the entire premise really didn't intrigue me at all. On the bright side of things I really enjoyed the action scenes and the one liners. Props to Chris Hemsworth who was really born to play Thor Odinson.

Inception is a truly brilliant film and I'm glad to see that it continues to climb up your list. In the first Godfather I love the opening scene, the horse scene, Sonny's death, Sonny beating up Carlo, The restaurant scene, the hospital scene, the baptism, and the final scene. As for Part II, the opening scene, every scene with De Niro, the abortion scene, Hyman Roth talking about Mo Greene, Michael and Fredo in the boathouse (your not a brother, not a friend), You broke my heart scene, and the last scene. To be honest though I love every scene in both films, but those are just some of my favorites off the top of my head.

My most anticipated of 2013:
Iron Man 3
Man of Steel
Star Trek Into Darkness
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Kick-Ass 2
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For
Machete Kills
Monster's University

I am sure that I am missing a couple, but those are the ones off the top of my head.

Open you eyes! I'm a huge fan! ;) I enjoy the other movies greatly also! They're in the twenties on my list. The only reason they aren't higher is I wanted a bit of a mix up the top. What I mean is a few films in front of them I see on the same level, but I have them below to have a better variety. I think both are close to being in my top ten.

I feel the same about FOTR as you do. I'm thinking about it, and I've come to the conclusion that I enjoyed comradery much more when they were all together. I think I enjoyed the calm before the storm feel you get from the first film also. So when danger is upon them, you really feel the urgency. Especially from Gamdalf! I love how we watch the transformation from a happy old man, back to a battle-ready wizard.

I definitely get a 90's action vibe from Olympus has Fallen. Movies like Air Force One, Executive Decision, Under Siege and Broken Arrow come to mind. It's got many plot holes, but this isn't a movie to dwell on that, yet it still doesn't elevate it into amazing territory. It's still a decent movie, don't get me wrong. I hated Melissa Leo's acting in the movie, she seemed drunk at times.... Especially when reciting the pledge of allegiance. :D So ridiculous! I enjoyed Butler back in a movie that suits him. He had some one liners that were funny, but nowhere near the excellent Yipee kI yay motherfucker! It ended up at 75% on my list. You'd probably like it.

Mama is nothing special, but i think it was good at the start at not revealing much. Shadows and noises are effectively used to build tension. I just thought that the ending was a bit of a letdown. The motive seemed ridiculous, and I also found a huge plot hole as well. I also thought the cgi was poor. Don't get pumped for it, you're expectations won't be met. I may of been a little generous, but I thought the start was worth a decent score.

The next Rambo movies have crazy action.

Hey, man!

Pulp Fiction was really, really disappointing. After I finished watching it for the first time, there was this sinking feeling inside that's hard to explain. I asked myself, "That's it?" Bunch of pointless conversations that don't reveal anything about the characters, that don't even move the story forward. And this is why RD will forever remain QT's best, imo. He shows a large degree of restraint in that flick. Including his kick-ass dialogue but also understanding that he has limited time (and budget) to tell an awesome story. PF is full-on Tarantino, which I don't see as a good thing. I know you love the film and I respect your opinion, but I just don't feel the same way :(

Of course, I also grew up with RD but saw PF only recently, which is shocking because Pulp has always been the bigger pop culture phenomenon. That makes a difference, doesn't it? Dogs is closer to my heart. It's lean, slim, minimal -- the kind of tightly structured storytelling I admire.

For what it's worth, I found the "Gold Watch" segment brilliant.

PiccoloKing on 5/5/2013 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

Interesting how you initially didn't enjoy Pulp but it's now positioned at no. 4 after repeat viewings. I wish I was as forgiving as you. Once I find a film's first viewing underwhelming, it's pretty difficult for me to give it another chance. By your comment on the Raiders page, it seemed you didn't like it that much. But again, you've got it within your top 10!

I'll surely give PF another chance.

I have a few soundtracks that I love. Personally I would have to say Street Fighter, Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs. It's an area I certainly need to cover A$AP.

Iron Man 3 is a disappointment. The plot twist made the film downright stupid and the one liners get a bit dry. But the most damning thing of all, would be how they bring tension to the screen and then use that as fuel for a joke. Yeah, that really got on my nerve.

I haven't seen all the old Trek films, so Scotty in the new film didn't bother me. I actually don't think any character bothered me. Oh, Eric Bana's character could of been a little better, as you said.

Hemsworth tried for the lead, he must of been the second choice to still feature in the movie. I could watch a whole movie of just his character! But I'm glad it went down how it did (keeping it vague for other people). It just let the character shine.

It says 2012 because that's when it was released in America.

In my opinion The Place Beyond the Pines has a weak third story, nowhere near as good as the first two. It's a long movie, and they left me feeling bored by the third story. I actually had a hard time keeping my eyes open. They should of expanded the first two parts, then had that part be about 15 to 20 minutes.

I did see Star Wars as a kid on VHS. But I don't really think I have a nostalgic connection to the movies. They're just great movies, simple as that.

I'm a bit wait and see on both movies to be honest. They try to make Pacific Rim feel like a Transformers movie from the music in the trailer. But the film could be the opposite.

I think you did, but I'll answer again. :) No, I haven't seen any of the new trailers for Man of Steel, I don't intend to either. I won't be for Sin City 2, Kick-Ass 2 and Elysium as well.

The Cabin in the Woods in a lot of fun SLC! I avoided every detail for that movie, and now it's way up on my list.

I'm getting to your what movies I thought would suck question, but I'll answer the other one now because it's quicker. I bought The Wrath of Khan today. When I see it again, I'll tell you who I think was better. Shatner' is pretty iconic, so I'll say him for now.

The underwear scene was a lame joke that's been done a thousand times. Make something weird happen Abrams! Have him look around and she's crawling on the ground, or maybe she's a dude! :D It doesn't have to be that weird obviously, but do something we haven't seen!

I'd be fine with it SLC. However, Kate told me that Abrams hinted that he's doing the humpback whale storyline. What do you think of that? Is the Borg in that story?

It's possibly a long wait until we see John Harrison again, it could be eight years!

West went from somewhere in the 80's to 38 and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly went from 23 to 12. All of Leone's films get better with each new viewing for me.

The thing is, I don't like Superman that much. He's too powerful. They need to raise the stakes more in his movies. I love that there's no krypnonite in this movie. It always ends up being someone who isn't a match for him having to resort to waving a rock around in front of his face.

I like most of Zack Snyder's film, so I'm very excited. Plus the movie has Zod, so the stakes will definitely be there.

Wonder what it would do to a person if you ate too much super cow meat?

If you don't mind me asking, why do you have to get up at 5am for school? Long way away?

I totally feel what your saying about some teachers. I've had some terrible ones as well. Because i'm a very tall guy, one teacher used to think I was a bully from seeing an incident out of context. I was joking around shaking a guy from my class, not serious at all, then I looked up and saw her looking at me from the distance. I already knew I was in trouble. I went into the computer room and was talking to my friends. I kept peeking out, and she just kept coming! She was like 30 metres away, but she was going very slow. Ha! Then the bell rang! I had to go out, just as she met me at the door. She looked at me angrily, I said "look", and before I could get anything else out she was abusing the shit out of me! I didn't get one word in so I could defend myself. What a bitch. From then on when I went past she would yell stuff to me in German, which I later learnt meant, warning. Weird.

Well, I buy the movies I know I like. I record many movies on my foxtel (it currently has 5% available space) and when i watch a movie with my brother-in-law, he downloads it. That's how I saw the 'classic' Manborg.

I love me some violence, so to see how violent Watchmen was for a superhero movie, was a delight. But I actually was lukewarm towards it when i first watched the movie in the cinema. The second time I had a lot more fun watching The Comedian and Rorschach. I actually love slow-mo action scenes and just the overall aesthetic Of the movie. It looks like a comic book come to life. Some things annoy me, but I'll tell you if you see it. Don't want anything to stick out as annoying for you straight away.

If this was MA15+, I think I would of enjoyed it more. And don't get me started on the ''dance'' scenes, just stupid. You'll know what I mean if you see it.

I recently rewatched the Lord of the Rings Trilogy (extended versions of all 3 films) and I liked Return of the King the most and was disappointed by the other 2. The first time I watched the trilogy (theatrical versions of all 3 films) I was blown away by Fellowship. Which version of all 3 films do you prefer? Also I would recommend that you watch The Thin Red Line and Road to Perdition. Some of the most underrated films in history if you ask me. For the Thin Red Line I would recommend to be open-minded (the movie is not for everyone) and if you like what you see, the movie becomes an experience. For Road to Perdition, probably my favorite of the decade. They are both uploaded in 1080p on Yify's website. What film would you recommend to me? (I also just downloaded Raging Bull) I also really love your list and it's variety of movies. I really have to watch Terminator 2 again because I watched the version that is on Yify and I was really bored and disappointed. Is that the best version or should I download another version, and if yes, which one?

That's great that you're really into watching films now! This site is really good for finding hidden gems too :)

I really like Superman 1 & 2, but 3 & 4 really weren't up to scratch.
I'm avoiding trailers and promos for Man Of Steel, just like I avoided the Into Darkness trailers(I loved Into Darkness too).

As for Star Wars and LOTR, I need to revisit them and re-evaluate how I feel about them. With SW, I don't remember enough about them, and maybe I shouldn't have ranked them when they came up on the screen. I might have watched LOTR when I wasn't in the right mood. I found that it kinda dragged and I was waiting for it to end....but I might love it if I watch it again, so I'll put it on my rewatch list. :)

The Goonies is another nostalgic favourite, I can't count how many times I've seen it, I could probably quote the whole movie, lol.

I will hopefully be seeing Django soon, can't wait :)

I give all movies a fair go until I see reasons otherwise. As soon as I saw Smith say 'animals have evolved to kill humans', despite no humans being on the planet! my expectations dropped really low.

The who.e Django thing just reveals his ego. The weird thing is his son is the lead in After Earth! I guess then that Smith only makes way for another Smith. All of this has made me think less of him.

I think it would of been interesting to Smith try something different other than the usual blockbusters. But if this a sign of Smith doing the same all the time, then I think people will soon b turning away. I really wouldn't be surprised if he pushes for a fast-tracked Men in Black 4 or Bad Boys 3, so to try and remind people why they 'like' him.

I also think that the Keitel-Deniro pairing in this film may be my favorite duo in the world. They have such amazing chemistry. Also what is your favorite male-male duo?

I had to close my eyes and cover my ears in Fast 6 because they were playing the trailer. I saw the start, how it's all static, because I thought it was a horror movie. As soon as I heard it was Michael Shannon, I moved quick!

If you do plan to watch the Fast and Furious movies, avoid spoilers for the end of six! It wouldn't be as satisfying if you knew what or whom was coming. :)

We're late with movies, and they hate showing horror movies like The Cabin in the Woods and Evil Dead, which both had a really limited release.

Some Fast and Furious movies aren't great. I haven't seen part three, but I think I'll go back and watch it because the last movie links them all together quite nicely (not a spoiler) Because the events in the third movie (Tokyo Drift) actually happen after four, five and six. I would rank them like this: 5, 6, 1, 4 and 2.

Well, three cinemas, but that's nothing. Australia really seem like they don't like releasing horror movies.

I actually don't understand the thinking of delaying Man of Steel. The reason would probably annoy me. The only thing the only thing I can think of is if a movie studio has another movie out, so they aren't competing with themselves.

Yeah, the same with Blu Rays. I think there is a rule about how long a movie is out of the cinema before it's gets released. So if America gets it in the cinema, it will always be ahead with Blu Rays. It sucks, I know.

Have you seen the trailer for The Cabin in the Woods? It would be better if you haven't, like me, and watch it without no knowledge of the movie.

In a perfect world, yes, it would be great to get movies like that in the cinema. But the fact is they need longer to make the budgets back. With that system, the movies would have dated special effects. With two weeks, the cinemas wouldn't make any money either. In the first two weeks, the studios take the majority of the money. It's in the following weeks where they take a share of the movie tickets. If they didn't, we'd see even higher prices for snacks and drinks.

What I would prefer is to be less 3d movies. Unless they're in proper 3d, it shouldn't be allowed. When you look what's at the cinema, sometimes it's only about four movies that are in 2d and 3d. All these studios wonder why 3d is declining! It's because they keep releasing a shit product! For every Life of Pi and Avatar, you get twice as many post-converted shit like Clash of the Titans and The Green Hornet.

It just seemed to be mocking that we only get Iron Man 3 and The Avengers in Australia before other countries with the "pleasure" comment. Look, I'm not having a go at you at all, it just seemed you were venting some frustration for the lack of new releases. I think we should just move on from it, it's not a big deal really. :)

Sorry, I wasn't saying you should move on from your frustration of the movies in the cinema (although, if it makes you feel less frustrated, maybe you should) I just meant we should move onto another subject.

Cheers! Nice to know that you liked No Country in spite of the hype. Also, do not forget to watch Zodiac and Jesse James :) My other two favorites from 2007.

Memento is fine as shit, but the only Chris Nolan film I'm thinking about these days is The Prestige. An extremely memorable second viewing. From a purely storytelling perspective, it's the only Chris Nolan film on par with Memento, imo. He handles the exposition in both films so well that it's not even exposition at all lol! I'm kinda getting tired of Inception :(

Oh no.. Not the 1998 remake. I'm talking about the 2007 film Disturbia. It applies the Rear Window formula to a modern setting... A young boy (Shia) under house arrest slowly starts to suspect that his neighbor is a serial killer D:

Gattaca is a pretty good movie. We watched it in Religion, because our latest topic is: morals and ethics.

Believe it or not I am amped for Man of Steel, I am avoiding all reviews of it, so I can create my own perception about the film. I know for a fact it wont be better than The Dark Knight or The Avengers, but it has a strong chance of coming close.

Commando kicks ass. Just one of those re-watchable 80's movies, but in terms of the best Arnold film: PRedator is the pinnacle.

It's fine if Watchmen doesn't work for you now, or later. Do you have any questions about any if it?

You might have to learn to be a bit calmer with trailers, if I'm honest with you. It's only going to have you get burnt on a number of occasions in the future. When I watch a trailer, if I like it, I say to myself- "yep I'll see that", and put it out of my brain. Or as you know, I won't watch it at all, but that's really to avoid spoilers.

Actually, I have a question for you. Where on your list does the movies start being good to you? Because Watchmen seems quite high on your list, yet you don't like it. I'm just interested.

Hey. :)

All I hear about is that the ROTK has too many endings, that it's terrible. It really didn't bother me at all! With so many characters, how could you just have one ending?

It's between Gandalf and Aragorn as my favourite. I might be leaning towards Gandalf. But Sam in ROTK is right up there as well.

For me:

"YOU, SHALL NOT, PASS!!!" and "fly, you fools!"
Gollum vs Smeagol
I really like when Aragron says "For Frodo". As well as "You don't bow to no one"

Just to make it clear, never ever think you're bothering me. I'm really laid-back, you don't bother me at all. Plus I enjoy talking to you, so it's fine. :)

Raiders: Opening scene, Indy shooting the guy with sword and the fight near the plane.

Doom: Underground chase.

Crusade: Henry Sr chasing the seagulls to kill the nazis! :D I absolutely love that part! Makes me burst out laughing every time. Leap of faith was awesome as well.

I've probably seen the three movies all the way through about three times each (including the Blu Ray extended versions) However, I have watched the film many times in random places when it's been on foxtel.

Do you play games?

What did you think of Iron Man 3? It doesn't seem very high.

If I had to add the Hobbit to the discussion. My favourite part of that movie was Gollum and Bilbo in the cave. I wish The Hobbit had more practical effects like the LOTR. All the goblins are cgi! Plus I thought the goblin king was ridiculous.

I can't remember? What's the name of the wizard with bird shit on him? Many people HATED him, but I enjoyed him quite a bit.

I actually really enjoyed seeing Superman's origin story and I thought it was done really well. The action at the end was cool, but it did feel like a little much. Overall I thought it was a great movie and I definitely think that they should make a sequel.

I wasn't very impressed with the Mandarin twist either. But listen to the way The Mandarin delivered lines, he's totally hamming it up. I think Kingsley intentionally played him as a bad actor. But when you really think about it, The Mandarin is still in the movie, it's just not who people expected. Plus making Killian the Mandarin brings in the backstory from the start of the movie. I see why it didn't work for you, though. But if I may say, i think you should at least give it one more shot in a few months. Knowing what you know (The Mandarin is Killian) watch it to see if works for you the next time.

I enjoyed how much he was out of his suit too. Having to use his brain to fight the enemies.

I really didn't like Iron Man 2. So I was happy when the movie had a unique spin on the superhero movie. Did you see it? What a waste of Mickey Rourke that movie was!

I saw the trailer, and one bit got me more excited than it should of. You know Tony's big suit at the end? Well, I thought that was the Hulk in his own suit. I think that would of been awesome.

Yeah, some of them are real. But I think all of them should of been real except for a bird's eye view of an army, that I would understand. I think the LOTR goblins are far scarier as well! Looking at the Hobbit goblins, they don't have the same menace to them. You don't see the blackness in them.

Yeah, but I think kids can handle a bit of darkness and scary parts. I think it's the parents who worry too much about that. A movie like The Hobbit isn't going to mentally scar kids. I remember movies I like as a kid had scary elements to them.

I like that you're are showing some resolve to not watch the second Hobbit trailer.

I gotta ask, what class at school has a video game in it? I never got to do that.

Yeah, it's definitely your right to not like the twist, even if you don't like the comics. Like I said, I didn't like it at first (the attempted humour of THAT part still doesn't work for me) either. I just wanted to tell you a way the movie could work for you. Because every movie should be attempted to be like. I'm not saying you didn't do this, but I'm just trying to help you like it more. If you still don't like it after, that's fine.

To be honest, I never even thought about that with Pepper. All I was thinking was that it was obvious that she wasn't dead.

I also like the fact that in this movie it wasn't a guy in a suit vs a guy in a suit. I think if that happened, it would of started to feel a bit stale.

I loved the fight when he's only got the hand and foot on. I thought that was a great idea from Black.

Yeah, Man of Steel is a very good film, but it isn't perfect. Also, you are correct TTT and Kill Bill Vol. 2 did move up. I have been watching my favorite trilogies in the last couple of weeks and I decided that I like ROTK more than ROTJ. Also Lord of the Rings moved past Star Wars as my second favorite trilogy (behind Batman).

Caesar on 6/18/2013 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Honestly, I'll probably like Man of Steel better after another viewing, but my first viewing did leave me disappointed. A few reasons for that include:

- I didn't like the way the story was structured. The nonlinear way it was put together just didn't, for lack of a better word, flow.

- The plot line involving the Codex was a bit convoluted. This is something that will likely not bother me in my next viewing (since I now know what it is and what its implications are).

- Every villain, aside from General Zod, was either anonymous or semi-anonymous. The movie needed some more well-defined villains.

- Michael Shannon disappointed me as General Zod. Since Superman is such an inherently bland character, it is up to the villain(s) to provide the personality of the film. Gene Hackman did it, as did Terence Stamp. Hell, even Kevin Spacey did in that other disappointing Superman flick. In my eyes, Shannon just didn't "bring it." He was too reserved, too one-note. I just didn't like the performance.

- The action in the movie was too monotonous and uncreative. The fight between Zod and Superman was basically just the guys taking turns ramming each into/through walls and stuff. Not exactly Batman versus the Joker.

On the plus side, I thought Henry Cavill acquitted himself well, as did Kevin Costner and Diane Lane. I think now that this franchise has gotten all of the origin story out of the way, the sequel(s) have the potential to be great. I guess we'll see.

Totally frustrating for you, I understand. But personally, once I found out who the real Mandarin was, I just transferred my feelings for the original Mandarin onto him. He was still doing what the original Mandarin was doing, even more so really. Lurking in the shadows, not showing his true face.

As you may have seen from my list, Fellowship is considerably ahead and TTT and RotK are about in the same range. I really love the scenes at the Shire. Such peaceful and scenic beauty. It makes the coming journey worth the hardships and sacrifices. Also makes Fellowship the most distinguishable of all three. Two Towers and King are too dark and dreary but they are also extremely entertaining. The battle in the former is epic and well directed, and the Mount Doom scenes in the latter are some of the most dramatically intense scenes in film. It's a great trilogy. I'd go into further detail but I'm really drowsy right now :D

Have you heard the story of why Flickchart was made?

Hey, Dinelka. :)

Liking the quote. :)

I can't get enough of The Joker! What an amazing performance from Ledger.

Well, The Joker is unpredictable, he probably wanted to make Batman squirm. It's all a joke to him, so he probably just thought it was hilarious to drop her.

Two Face buckling up was enough for me. The guy survived having half his face burnt of, I think it's possible for him to survive a car crash. I just think the anger felt by two face keeps driving him from dying.

I take it down to the fact that The Joker really doesn't like rats in suits. Think back to that Asian man that he said would squeal. Plus I think that The Joker wanted to reveal the identity himself, not some other guy- that's why He wanted Coleman Reese killed. You could also look at it like this- The Joker might not even care about the identity of Batman, he just likes to turn people against him, which he's successful at doing. Also, if Batman is revealed, Joker's fun is over! He wants to keep the 'game' going.
