Meatwadsprite's Slow Review Thread

Your rating is absolute blasphemy. How can you say there was little focus on characters? Here's my recommendation to you. Study film. I mean real film. Not Spiderman, Batman, or any other recycled crap you so proudly love. Study real cinema

There was so much focus put on the Schindler and Goeth, it makes me wonder if you actually saw the film or not. Did you not see both character's arcs? Or Goeth's lack thereof? Did you not see how they both were completely the same and different? How they played off eachother? How each changed because one another's actions?

Are you retarded? How can you give this a 3.5 yet have the balls to give Dark Knight 5? Honestly, you're a disgrace to film and every great film out there. No, don't tell me to stop being rude or that I need to keep my opinions to myself. There is a difference between fact and opinion, smart and retarded. Your rating isn't an opinion. It's just retarded. Do yourself a favor and google.....Greatest Movies of All Time. And see where Schindler's List is. And no, don't come back and say lists are an opinion. I want you to find a top 100 list from a good credible source. And take a good hard look at where Schindler's List is. Because honestly, I don't know your credentials or film experience. So I may let you slide on saying something as stupid as "there was little focus on the characters."

Do you live in Los Angeles or New York or Philadelphia? If so, walk into either of these locations; The Los Angeles Film School, Melintz Hall on the UCLA campus, The Tisch School in NYC, or the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Walk in, find an instructor as fast as you can, and ask them what they think of Schindler's List. Actually, ask them this because your so smart right? Ask them "The Dark Knight vs. Schindler's List; which film is better?"

And see what they say. Tell me. Start a thread titled "PrometheusFG made me look like a bitch because I thought I was smart when really I'm just retarded..."

And post their responses so the entire community here can see that you know just as much about film as Paris Hilton knows about the real world. Nada! Zip. Absolutely nothing. Here, a favor from me to you. I'll extend a request to Yoda to desginate a specific part of the forums for uneducated self-proclaimed film buffs like yourself to spew your stupid opinions at. It can be called..."We think we know, but we don't", and you can have threads like...."Fellini vs. Nolan: who is better?" or.... "The Third Man vs. Sin City: which noir is better?"

Does that sound good? Sounds like a great plan to accompany that greatly incompetant mind of yours. It's beautiful. And while everyone in these forums will stand by your side saying PrometheusFG overreacted and that you have a right to your opinion; they are wrong. Someone had to say it. Everyone here lets these stupid opinions fly like it's nothing. Like everyone's feelings are so fragile and that if we try to even debate, they will cry. ********! It's not even about Schindler's List vs. The Dark Knight.

I have seen people on here swear that Memento is the best film since 2000. What the hell? Did you not see Y Tu Mama Tambien? I have seen people say "This film is regarded as a classic noir but I just didn't see the point of the narraration..." Film noir goes hand in hand with narraration! I have seen Spiderman 3 get a better rating than Mean Streets, The Prestige called a masterpiece while Taxi Driver is called crap, Heath Ledger as the Joker is the best performance since 2000, "I have never heard of Seven Samurai but gee whiz, The Last Samurai was great!", "who the hell is Frederico Fellini and what is Neorealism...nobody needs that when you have Bryan Singer."

Half the members on here couldn't even name a single film from Jean Renoir or Wilder, yet they call themselves film buffs.

I've seen the only four movies on your favorite list and Schindler's List is the only one I enjoyed.

I couldn't even sit through 8 1/2 or The Seventh Seal - nor do I think Raging Bull is even close to being the best Scorsese movie.

So there I just shot down three of your favorite movies with about as much argument as you've made in those long paragraphs of whining.

Also , why don't you make a top 100 list or at least complete your top 10 list - so you can educate the so uneducated people on this forums.

@ ThePrestige - Why did his Blade Runner review anger you? He gave it a good rating, if I remember correctly...

Psycho (1 viewing) [spoiler alert]



Plot : Marion Crane who is ready to leave her normal life steals $40,000 to runaway with her lover

Story : The first half of the story focuses on the Marion as she must controll her own fear of getting caught with the money. On her way to her boyfriend she checks into the Bates Motel where she is murdered out of nowhere and the movie becomes more of a mystery. The owner of the bates motel supposdly lives with his mother in a house right next to it. His mother is apparently "ill" and she is the one who killed Marion. As more people come to investigate the motel the mother continues to kill more people.

Pacing : For the most part of the film it is paced really great , but the scene where Norman (motel owner) gets rid of the evidence is really pointless and could have been taken down to about a minute.

How Scary : There aren't really moments that shock you right away - it's just the entire theme of the movie and the eerieness that scares you long after the movie is over.

Visuals : The Bates Motel really comes to life , although it actually is a movie set - I thought it was on location filming. Apart from that this movie dosen't opack a very big punch in this area : except for the shower scene.


Sypnosis : Although the story is really great for the most part - I didn't like this movie simply because it haunts you. I would say it is defintly the best horror film I have ever seen though.

My Personal Rating (I don't like horror movies)

Rating as a Horror Movie

Spiderman 3 (2 viewings)



Plot : With some things solved in spiderman 2 there was much left open for the third (and final?) installment.

Story : A new enemy is introduced Sandman and Peter Parker's photo rival Eddie Brock (who later becomes Venom) also keep the story interesting. But , the majority of the movie focuses on Peter Parker , Mary Jane , and Harry Osbourn as their friendship goes through problems resulting in Peter Parker finding a new black spiderman suit - which seemingly gives him more power , but makes him more aggresive and full of himself. Sandman's character isn't as one sided as the past characters either - he has a dieing daughter and robs places for money to cure her. Overall , this is one of the fastest paced stories and tons of fun to watch unfold.

Visuals : The action scenes are some of the best of any movie - with extensive use of CGI basicly the whole movie. Whole stories of buildings are knocked out with tiny objects flying out of them - spiderman jumps through another building and flies out the window - and sandman is one of the most detalied CGI characters ever.

Sypnosis : The spiderman series are easily the best superhero movies , they put movies like Batman and Superman to shame. This third one though is my favorite of the three.

A Clockwork Orange (2 viewings)



Plot : Teenager Alex and his friends that he calls his "droogs" - go around killing and raping people : but it isn't a horrible crime to them - it's just a bit of fun.

Story : The first half of the movie is all about Alex and his friends - with scenes of them killing and raping people set to simple cheery music. Your also introduced to Alex's parents (he lives with them) and a little into his past. One day Alex hits one of his droogs in public to "teach him respect". So his other friends decide to betray him. That's where the second half begins - right as Alex escapes from a house where he killed a woman , his friends hit him on the head with a glass of milk : and that's where the story loses it's emotion. Alex is caught by the police and forced to watch violence and misery with his favorite composer Beethoven for the soundtrack. Somehow this manipulates his brain into not ever being able to commit acts of violence again. Once he is released out of jail after a embarrassing self controll test , people he atacked or hurt in the first half of the movie : have their revenge on him in a number of ways. The thing about the second half though - is it's huge lack of music : and focus on other characters. Unlike the first half and more like Kubrick's other films I've seen it's just boring and useless to the story.

Visuals and Action : The movie is visually brilliant as well in the first half and then super boring to look at the second half. So i guess the film does a good job at sucking us into how much life sucks for Alex after he gets arrested *the world he inhabits is no longer visually stunning* - but that dosen't matter because really it's just not a good enough excuse for the visuals to be bland. The first half on the other hand features crazy designed houses and very weird public places : like where they start off in a bar type of place , with naked women as tables and milk machines (not real women of course). Also , there are prashes and words printed all over the bar , none which i understand : but it still gives that visuall effect. The action scenes also are pretty intense as well : and most of the time played out with fun music - but one thing you gota hate , is the horribly fake looking green screen car scene.

Sypnosis : Amazing first half filled with though provoking material and characters that are very real and very full of life - followed by an emotional-less second half with boring visuals and no music.

you misunderstood a film again...

I misunderstood it ? So you mean it's actually really entertaining ?

I must have really misunderstood the trailer for Meet the Spartans.

honeykid, go ahead and write a review in Movie Tab II or any of the Kubrick threads.
