General Movie Thread

I agree with TKz in that it looks fun as hell.

[livid]

Yeah I don't actually disagree with that, I just wanted to take a pot shot at Oblivion.

[The Red Reuben]

Holy crap, the new Hobbit is awful. It's the first time I've hated being a film reviewer.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Funny you say that, it's getting better reviews than An Unexpected Journey did. 75% from critics on RT compared to An Unexpected Journey's 65%, so not by much, but I'm sure I'm still going to love it anyway. >_>

[livid]

Speaking of movies that could go either way...Godzilla!

Not much to go on but it looks like it could be pretty cool.

This trailer is crazy good in IMAX.

Went to a double showing last night. I hadn't seen any Middle Earth movie before so there was an extra amount of excitement. I enjoyed them both quite a bit but 6 hours of 3D is not the greatest.

[Benjamin]

You haven't seen a Middle Earth movie before? Were you born sometime early this year?!

[The Red Reuben]

Yeah, if you're a fan of LOTR and the first Hobbit film, you'll probably love it.

Otherwise, save yourself that 2 hours and 40 minutes. Holy hell.

[TKz]

What part of The Hobbit were you expecting to like if you went into it knowing you didn't like the Lord of the Rings or the first Hobbit? The bits with all the hobbits, or the bits about the ring?

[Benjamin]

Evangeline Lily? <3

[Walker]

Yeah, I didn't like The Hobbit.

I'm okay with LOTRs, but I don't think it is the masterpiece people make it out to be.

[Walker]

Powering through the list of 2013 films I haven't seen. Lovelace and Mud were canny good, weren't they?

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

I am pretty ambivalent about the LotR movies. I saw all the LotR trilogy because it was what a close friend wanted to do on her birthday. I have seen the two Hobbit movies because my wife likes them. So I saw it last night. It was a good movie, I liked the ending, loved Cumberbach as Smaug. But good God, I am begging Peter Jackson to make one of these movies that lasts 2 hours. They are just way too long.

First trailer for 22 Jump Street!

Not really a lot there but the first one was really funny so I'll check it out.

[livid]

Just a teaser but the first taste of Interstellar is pretty great. Kinda surprised it wasn't posted here already.

[TKz]

I mean, it's cool. But I have a hard time getting psyched for stuff like this that tells us nothing any way, let alone when it's a full year away!

But I mean, it's Nolan. It'll either be incredible, or just a bit too try hardy but still better than most. I'm hoping it's more Sci-Fi than just Space stuff, though. I'd like to see him tackle something like that.

[livid]

I mean, I'm not going to pretend I'm not biased but it got me pumped. I'm a huge Nolan fan and even it is straight space exploration and less sci-fi (though I highly doubt there won't be something afoot), I'm incredibly intrigued because either way, it's not something I would have pegged him as doing.

Wolf of Wall Streets seems to be getting cracking reviews

I actually totally forgot that Gary Oldman was in this. Looks interesting, though.

I'll let you know how it goes after I see it tonight.

Why is Terry Crews in this? Make better career choices, Terry!
