Oz 6/10 More for kids than adults.

Warm Bodies 8/10 a nice change from normal zombie movies

The Hobbit: 7/10

I enjoyed the story and the acting was good enough but they changed some things and left somethings out that I do not agree with.

Still the scenery and the scope of the movie is again, like LotR, nothing but epic.

The Hobbit - 6/10.overlong and and plodding.
This Means War - 7/10.Screw the critics this was fun.

Wreck it Ralph 9/10.visually spectacular and heartwarming.a real winner.

Agree can't believe Brave received the Oscar for Best Animation. Felt like an exact copy of Brother Bear.

Wreck it Ralph is like Tron for kiddies, just better

I loved it. 8.5/10.

Agreed, 8.8/10 for me. Visually awesome. Just wish I could have seen it in 3D

Wreck it Ralph was pretty bad imo. They squandered the opportunity of having all those classic videogame characters. Brave wasn't as great as other Pixar films

You are correct here... But the remainder of the movie was pretty decent, and I am a sucker for crazy, psychedelic visuals...

just watched Mirror Mirror.

Movie was entertaining but the end was just bizarre. The whole movie was tongue in cheek, but ending with a Bollywood scene was out of place.

5/10

Django Unchained 8.5/10.Typical genius dialogue from QT.

Argo 9/10 - Didn't know about the real story before watching this movie - authentically done for the time period.

 

[undesign]

Argo 9/10 - Didn't know about the real story before watching this movie - authentically done for the time period.

My first thoughts also, changed to 6 out of 10 after reading the history. Canadians much more prominent than portrayed in movie.

Good movie nonetheless.

Argo 9/10 - Didn't know about the real story before watching this movie - authentically done for the time period.

Watched one of those "making of programs" and they interviewed people that were actually there at the time, they reckon it was just plain boring with no action.

Rise of the Guardians - 6/10. Spectacular animation but that's about it.
The Hobbit - 7/10. Bloated vanity project that takes a pretty light storyline and tries to makes a 9 hour mega-epic out of the material. Huge waste of potential.

 

[xrapidx]

Django Unchained - 8/10 - really enjoyed it. And I don't usually enjoy Tarintino movies.
Hobbit - 6/10 - a bit drawn out and boring

 

[thestaggy]

Django Unchained - 6/10. Too long and couldn't see why it was hyped so much. Waltz's character and the bumbling K.K.K. scene were the only sources of interest and humour in my opinion. The rest of it was one long meh.

You are SO not coming to movie night anymore!

Django Unchained - 2/10 Boring!

Argo - 2/10 Boring!

Zero Dark Thirty - 5/10

 

[ShaunSA]

Skyfall

SO rated it 7/10. Even watched it a second time.

For me it was a steaming pile of cr@p. 4/10 purely because Craig keeps distracting me

 

[AirWolf]

Recoil 7/10 Typical Steve Austin movie

GI Joe 2: Retaliation - 5/10. Feels like just another movie. Was actually bored for the most part of it. First couple of scenes were full of LOLs though.

 

[Devill]

Judge Dredd: 6.5/10 - Much better than I expected. Enjoyed that the acting was more like the comics. the story was a bit of a let down and their was to little character development.
