+ amazing looking setting
+ great story
+ amazing ending
+ harrison ford
- there is about 40 minutes of people sitting , walking , standing or doing nothing
- it says on the back of the dvd that the narration was taken out - which might have made the long boring pauses of people sitting/walking actually watchable
- colors for the most part look bleak

D+ it's a great idea for a movie but the pointless and boring scenes make the movie feel like it should only be about an hour long

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

I'm not too sure about this but in a review thread shouldn't you actually review movies? not just list 4 or 5 things about it then give your grade

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

You are entitled to your opinions, even if this does include rating Rush Hour 3 higher than Blade Runner, but you can't call this a review thread if you aren't actually going to write reviews. How can you assume that the cut of Blade Runner with the voiceover is better than the Director's Cut without having seen it? Or even read anything about it, since you mention reading it on the back of the dvd for the first time. :suspicious:

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

voice narration in a movie is a major issue - it adds a whole new layer to the movie and makes it much more entertaining than if your just watching the stuff happen without narration

fight club A+
goodfellas A+
apacolypse now A
muppets in space A- (with commentary O_O)
casino A-
forrest gump A-
sin city B+

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

Absolutely. But it really depends on the narration itself as to whether it is any good, or fits the mood of the film. Seeing as it is such a major issue, and I agree with you on that point although no other in this thread, surely you would need to actually watch the version with voiceover narration before assuming it is better?

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

Get ready for some flack for rating this fantastic movie a D+ :eek: this is a movie that is very dear to many hearts here :yup: I love it :yup:

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

I didn't even feel that rating warrented a reply. Personally, someone like that doesn't have a place here. :nope: Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion and the oppurtunity to pull their head out of their @$$. :D

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread

- horrible stories
- isntead of being done at amazing pace like the first , the stories are performed at suspensefull pace
- throws away all the classic characters and introduces new ones
- scenes that do nothing are way too long

D- on par with battle royale 2 for being a ton worse than the original

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

Meatwad… I hate to be mean… especially to someone I think might not even be old enough to watch some of the films they're supposedly reviewing … however, thus far, none of your posts in this thread would be considered actual reviews and all should have been posted in the
Movie Tab II thread…

If you really want to learn how to write reviews, I suggest you read some of the ones posted by various members in the review section at the top of this forum…

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

You're shooting out these split second "reviews" so quickly that people can't respond. You posted a pretty strong and vague opinion against one of my all-time favorite films, and I'd like to get the opportunity to defend it. I'm referring to your Requiem for a Dream one:

Okay... Requiem for a Dream isn't mean to be "cool". Nor is it an "anti-drug" movie... just to start somewhere. All of the stylistic choices are used to contribute to the frenzied, frantic pacing of the story, which is a huge part of its originality. The hip-hop montages, the Snorri-cam shots, the fish eye imagery, etc... all of that was used as a means of telling the story in an effective way. Aronofsky never intended to make a "cool" film with Requiem for a Dream.

To call it an "anti-drug thing" is a disgrace. That's lowering the film's intelligence to mainstream level. This film doesn't say "don't do drugs". It's an examination of addiction's effects on the human spirit. That's a whole lot different. You can take from it what you will, but this movie has no direct "anti-drug" scenes to speak. It presents a horrifying reality to contribute to the poetic whole of the story, but never makes turning kids away from drugs the main ambition.

Second of all, you said the "characters are worthless". There's no basis for that whatsoever. Although the character development is admittedly scarce, that's because the story is a whirlwind, and these characters are sucked along with it. However, we do see their dreams and regrets through several key moments in the film (I don't know if you were watching). Harry and Marion, for example, show a mutual dream of making each other's lives as happy as possible, and Aronofsky manages to portray this in a perfectly believable way. Sara Goldfarb feels she has nothing to live for now that she gets no attention from her family... she feels like an insignificant old woman. So she turns to her addictions: diet pills and the possibility of having a spot on television. They steer her away from her feelings of isolation, but ultimately drive her insane. Tyrone is a sad little boy who was never given guidance, as is displayed in the ESSENTIAL flashback where he shares a tender moment with his ignorant mother.

Last remark I'd like to comment on: "ends in the middle of nowhere". This has probably the hardest-hitting closure of any film I've ever seen. We see all three characters reduced to their lowest states, curling up in the fetal position in their mindsets of complete loss. They have all been defeated.

I can't allow somebody to rate Rush Hour higher than Requiem for a Dream without at least saying something... so there you are.

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

hahahaha yeah... that's basically what I said. I'm just going to leave this thread be...

The rating of Pi is ridiculous too, and I don't know what the hell he means when he says that The Godfather Part II is "dominated by close up shots". lol

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

The whole movie is played out like it's supposed to be about it's characters - except we never see what drives the characters : for the exception of the guys mother . The rest of the 3 their only motivation in the whole movie is trying to get drugs - nothing really happens to them.

+ not only is it the best looking pixar movie to date , but it's one of the best looking movies ever
+ great story , a bunch of twists that never rely on the generic plots you find in animated movies these days
+ fast paced and though it's rated G - it's more furious than a lot of R rated movies
+ good ending

A+ an unexpected hit , pixar was almost dead to me with incredibles and nemo - and all the crappy CGI movies coming out these days , but you can put this in with toy story and a bugs life

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

You just responded to one fraction of a sentence in a reply that was literally paragraphs long. Is that all you have to say on it? Halfway through that paragraph that you took a choice snippet from, I explained that the little moments of character study were essential and effective. The three young characters weren't only "out to get drugs". If that's all you got from the film, then you missed the point. I'm sorry, but I can't argue this subjectively.

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

But...that is a totally valid motivation FOR A DRUG ADDICT. Get it? Meanwhile, they have other motivations, which are clearly defined in the film. Nothing really happens to them?? Did ya...SEE THE MOVIE? I am thinking you didn't. A whole ******** "happens to them."

Oh, I am still wondering. Are you going to do any reviews in your review thread? I still see exactly zero.

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

I don't think I'd agree with this, but even if it were true, isn't that to be expected, to some degree? Isn't it realistic that drugs would dominate their thoughts and overwhelm their existing motivations?

EDIT: Sedai beat me to it, and used way more punctuation.

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

Exactly... I think the main point is that they did have existing motivations... of course the drugs are going to warp their vision!

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

Wait, did he just say he didn't like The Incredibles OR Finding Nemo?

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

Both, I think...
I didn't like them a whole lot either, but I certainly don't go around shouting about it. lol. I mean, they are both loved by a lot of people.

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

i guess if you like those you probably are a fan of requiem ?

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

I didn't like Finding Nemo either. But then again, I also didn't like Bugs Life at all.

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

I don't see any similarities between Requiem for a Dream and Finding Nemo, personally...

Maybe that's just me.

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

Right... and called the new Pixar joint "An Unexpected Hit," which is directly out to lunch. The last two Pixar turns were massive hits. Huge. Nothing about this latest is unexpected, as far as I am concerned...

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

Yeah... the instant people hear "Pixar", they think of accessible animated films that rake in a lot of cash.

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

OK. Just what the hell is going on here. What sort of bollocks is this? How, by any stretch of the imagination, do these films have anything to do with one another? I am at a total loss as to the connection here...

Catch Me if you Can

http://img.gamespot.com/gamespot/sha..._shallow_s.gif

+ christopher walken is hillarious
- characters are compeltly worthless even the main character
- the movie is all about the things the people do instead of them , but then it has lots of scenes that just focus on the character and they fail horribly
- boring story

D- really sucks

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

both bad films imo

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

I'll just leave this one alone... I'll assume that if you give a movie C or lower, it means it very well could be a masterpiece.

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

I am, but those films have absolutely nothing in common.

I realize not everyone loves Finding Nemo...but damn near everyone does. Personally, I think it's easily one of the top five family films ever made.

Yeah, I don't know where that came from. For one, all Pixar films do well. And for another, it's actually underperforming relative to other Pixar films (it's struggling to crack $200 million domestically).

Then again, this is probably the only guy in the world who owns Like Mike AND Magnolia, so all bets are off at this point.

i really can't go into a deep conversation about requiem for a dream or basicly any movie in fact - that i didn't like : because the main reason i don't like a movie is because of it's generic qualities

and if i don't view the movie completly i will state it in the review

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

If you can't discuss movies, then don't state your opinion on them. It's that simple. You're just going to make people angry, and they aren't going to value your opinion. You need to be able to back up what you say man.

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

catch me if you can reminded me of "the terminal" - except i really liked the terminal

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

Oh yes... the quintessential Steven Spielberg masterpiece: The Terminal! Catch Me If You Can's got nothing on that one! *sigh*

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

they are pretty similar :eek:

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

You can go into detail about the alleged "generic qualities." I've heard you refer to characters as having no development when we all think they received a great deal of development. I'm not sure what would stop you from elaborating on what happened, why you thought it was generic, and what could have happened that wouldn't be generic. Then, we can talk about those specifics, and actually have a discussion about facts, rather than you just saying you hate a great movie and us being all aghast.

Anyway, you don't seem to go in-depth with any of the movies you're "reviewing," whether you like them or not, so the explanation above is moot. Around these parts, we don't usually consider a grade and four bullet points a "review."

+ the one song where she is saying she won't leave
+ first 20 minutes were actually good
- every song sounds the same
- characters never devolope
- it's a 2 hour movie - 1 hour is pointless singing
- story goes nowhere
- boring singing scenes

F an incredibly boring 2 hour piece of crap with about 30 minutes of an actuall movie

- really sloppy audio and basicly everything in the movie is rushed and you can't tell what's going on rarley
- is mostly a animated cat porno
- no story
- tons of annoying stuff in the movie (really reminded me of conker)

F- this was the first animated movie to be rated R , but it was a horrible mess of a movie and goes out of it's way to be offensive

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

You write reviews? Where?

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

I was starting to think that we are dealing with a troll here, but why would a troll go to the effort of writing so many 'reviews'? A complete mystery. Is there a prize for how fast you can get red dots? Because I think meatwadsprite is the winner.

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

Nay... I believe Django still holds the all time high for Red Dot MoFo.... but come to think of it, Meatwad kinda reminds me of Django... in diapers.... :indifferent:

He's given me a pile of negative reps too.

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

i'm seeing too many similarties to rottentomatoes in this board :(

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

I'd like to know what basis you had for giving me six negative reputations.

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

I swear. It's as if the brainless movies make sense to you and the ones that require you to think just a smidge...you're all about shooting them down.

Yeah, you'll go far...:nope:

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

I've posted on Rotten Tomatoes thousands of times, and I don't think there's much similarity at all. You probably feel otherwise because I imagine you were met with similar disapproval there, yes? If so, I can assure you it's got nothing to do with either this forum or that one; it's because of the views you're expressing, and the way you're expressing them.

It's not enough to just have an opinion. Anyone can have an opinion. Having an informed, insightful opinion (and being able to discuss it) is a good deal more challenging, but this forum exists for just those sorts of things.

There are lots of people here with unusual or unpopular opinions. But many of them have reasons for what they believe, and actually take the time to explain them in ways that make sense. If you do that, I promise you'll find this place to be very accepting.

Re: MeatwadSprite's Review Thread
 

:yup: I couldn't agree more with what Yods has to say. It's one thing to say that movie sucks, but it's a totally different thing to say this is why the movie sucks.

You can't throw things out without having reasons for your opinions. Well, you can but the vicious cycle will continue on and you'd be the first to have a red light saber...:eek:

Now I'm starting to steal Yods' thunder, so I'll end my post. :)

Eh? C+ equates to 'one of the best horror movies'. Wtf rofl- lol. That's hillarious, ftw. Beautifulll.



Anyway as for thread, i'm not that against the style, having start a thread in a similar vain (short, concise reviews) and i'm sure some of your ratings can be understandable, however you are not.

Idiocracy

http://www.thecinemasource.com/movie.../idiocracy.jpg

+ lots of funny parts
+ all the advertising and fake versions of stuff are really cool
+ great cgi and visuals
- the story really follows the generic brand of comedies that have been coming out recently
- i wouldn't expect mike judge to make such a formula following story which i'm sure he probably didn't even make out to be from the start but with such a high budget was probably messed around with by higher ups

C+ it's unique futuristic setting is great , but the story is laughable

+ a few amazing scenes
+ has some dumb music but mostly good
+ a couple laugh out loud hillarious parts
+ cool narration style
+ star wars jump
- characters start to devolope but seem to cut out and not be enough
- boring and dumb scenes with the principle trying to get into his house
- a couple of generic scenes
- some scenes drag on too long

B you should see it

Re: MeatwadSprite's Quick Review Thread
 

You have to keep in mind that this was the 80's. Of course the music will be a little "dumb", but that's what kids listened to back then.

+ the first hour is great
+ the scenes where you can't tell if it's actually happening or part of the movie
- the last 2 hours are just incoherent garbage
- visuals are very boring , and mostly dark in the last 2 hours
- a 3 hour movie that drags on so long it should have been about an hour and a half

D- barley qualifies as a movie rather than random footage
