Movie Mini-Review Thread

Nor apparently lower than 5.5.

I'm with daveza on this. There must be some 10s but they are rare indeed. My last 10 was Vertigo, I believe

Nonsense I gave plenty 3's & 4's to downright crap movies this year.

I'm thinking off the top of my head: The Walking Deceased; Oliver Stoned; Bikini Model Academy.

I'm more concerned about the FiestaST family. His wife is a fan of Tyler Perry and he of Rob Schneider. Movie nights at your place must be torture for regular people.

Lol...wifey likes TP...nothing I can do about that...

She likes pretty much all this "African American" romance-move movies.

What's wrong with Mr Schneider...lol...his a joker of note. The Hot Chick was one of his "best" roles.

To each their own I guess.

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade - 8/10. Ford and Connery work well together.

The French Connection. 8/10. Seeing a half built WTC gave me goosebumps. That car chase still rocks.

Yeah that is a great movie. I'd give it a 9.

Star Wars TFA 6/10.

Rinse and repeat of the same old schit with nothing new..

Only consolation is it reminded me of the old trilogy. The new ones are best forgotten.

Just got back from Eastgate seeing Star Wars The Force Awakens at the new IMAX and I must say... you guys who haven't seen it yet are in for a treat!
This is a well made movie! Both technically and ito of the story line.
It doesn't try to be too complicated, but there is enough new stuff and twists to make it a draw-in!
This will be one of my favourite Star Wars!
I can give it a 10 out of 10 easily!
It's that perfect!

/hands gary bribe money :twisted:

Star Wars. What's up with the black guy and female lead? Is this BEE Star Wars?
And why are the bad guys using green coloured lasers in their ships now? It was always red for bad and green for good. Otherwise it was okay. Good humor.

Concerned about him giving Interstellar a 10, but you give Taken a 10? :wtf:

Star Wars TFA 9/10, was brilliant, felt very short though maybe because I was enjoying it too much, the minus one is for a full theatre, people sat on our seats that was booked, people behind kicking the seat, cellphones ringing constantly, I will never go see a movie at Monty Casino again.

Or even Monte

I don't care I hate that place

Oldboy. 6/10. Stupid decision to remake a movie that has this big twist that everyone already knows about.
Sharlto Copley horribly miscast but there's some nice visual touches that keep it going.

Exactly. When ths credits stary rolling and my first thoughts are, "that was fukking awesome", why would I rate it anything but a 10.

My scale is not "what will most people think about this movie, and how will they rate it when they have seen it".

My scale is:
10 - fukking awesome
9 - awesome
8 - very good
7 - good
6 - yeh ok
5 - not good
4 - bad
3 - very bad
2 - terrible
1 - terribly horrible
0 - my eyes! Oh the humanity! wtf did I just watch!

I think it's pretty pretentious not giving anything a 10.

5 is supposed to be average...that is where you are going wrong
