mega thread Last Movie You Watched?

I have FINALLY watched the original Rambo film, First Blood. I'd been wanting to watch it for ages. The only Rambo movie I had ever seen before was Rambo 4 and because of the series' reputation, I went in expecting a mindless but still good action film. Color me surprised, because it is so much more than that. The action that was present was still intense, but the key word is tension and this film excelled in that. I loved seeing how John was going to outsmart everyone else. Above all of that though, was the ending scene which brought the entire theme full circle, the theme of a soldier who suffered and lost, but was given back nothing. One that mentally suffers every day, but nobody cares to see it. That is why I already love this film after just one viewing. The entire movie builds up that concept without us even knowing it and it lets loose by the end and it actually hit me hard. 

Honestly, I don't think I want to see any of the other Rambo films after watching this. The sequels are the main reason the series has the reputation that it does, action and violence and machoness all at the forefront. The first film is something so much deeper than that.

El Camino

Always have been a huge fan of Breaking Bad, and it was awesome to see some of the characters returning as well as seeing what happened to Jesse after the series finale. I was sceptical about this movie at first, since I think the series ended pretty much perfectly, albeit with some loose threads. Probably my biggest complaint is that I thought the ending was pretty anticlimactic, but I'm still glad it tied up all loose ends that the TV show ended on. Overall, really liked this movie, would definitely suggest watching the TV show first before this movie as you'll definitely be lost without it. 

8/10

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016).

v1.bTsxMTQ2NjEyMjtqOzE4MjY3OzEyMDA7NDA1O

Bad ending that doesn't fit the movie aside (There are better ways to end it surely than that), It's a great film. Predictable to an extent, but a great film. I'm not going to go much into the plot of it. But spoiler free, the writing up until the very end was fantastic, and the performances of Mary Winstead and John Goodman are absolutely amazing here. This was perhaps even one of Goodman's best and that says A LOT with his supporting roles in films like Flight and the Big Lebowski. I was about to say this film is a 9.5/10 type of film, but the ending... was BAD. It straight-up didn't fit the movie... It's like somebody put the beginning of an alien abduction film into this movie that was more of a psychological horror film than that. Heck I have several better ending ideas myself, and I'm no screenwriter. As a film, it's still a 9/10 even with among the worst twist endings of all time (that was obviously put in to fit the Cloverfield canon).

Night of the Comet (1984).

MV5BOTQzZDVkMTctYTdlZi00MTc2LWJhMTEtM2Vm

I can sort of kind of see some of the cult appeal of this film, but nonetheless, it's a very, very cheesy film with a bit more than just that against it. I don't exactly like the characters, most of them just act in ways that I either find annoying, irrational, or not entirely befitting of who they are supposed to be in the context of the film. Also, there are just some really irrational actions here, and it's. But this movie has an odd sort of charm to it that is very hard to explain that prevents it from really being a mediocre or even bad movie. With all that considered, it's OK, particularly considering the $700K budget it was filmed with. 6.75/10. 

 

Mulholland Drive (2001)

This movie totally didn't make sense until the ending. Like you could tell that there were pieces that added up, but then you watch the ending and are able to fit them all together. The characters were made bland on purpose for the most part to sort of divert the audience's expectations, and in that way I must say it is very successful in doing that. At first I thought it would just be a bland film, instead of a fairly decent artistic piece. Also this film gets a plus for the LGBT representation back before that was popular. 9/10.

An MiB movie without Will Smith and without Tommy Lee Jones is bound to be bad. :laugh:

I kinda thought so before I decided to watch it.  but man, I didn’t think it would be this bad. The plot is just awful.

Just saw this movie called "The Fanatic" directed by Fred Durst (yes, the lead singer for Limp Bizkit) starring John Travolta.

Wooooow. This movie was so bad. Like really stupid plot, what's the point of this movie, unnecessary narration, and latinx maid and gardener like wtf? 

Yeaaaa do not. Unless you like watching bad movies cuz I think this might fit that.

Total Recall (1990)

MV5BYzU1YmJjMGEtMjY4Yy00MTFlLWE3NTUtNzI3

Although it is a bit cheesy at times, this is a good movie that deserves its reputation. Though It feels like Schwarzenegger was cast into a role where he doesn't exactly... fit. I think the role would have befitted an actor like Harrison Ford better (even if the one-liners were great, and Arnie pretty much renowned for those). I also take some issues to its weird attempts at plot twists that don't really always work. It left a little too much confusion where there was no reason to have any, and around act 3 the film just started getting weird for no apparent reason. Still a solid, but not quite great film. 8/10.

Mad Max - Fury Road and it was one of the best Movies i have ever seen, it s basically one very Long over the top car chase scene in a apocalyptic desert waste land and it was awesome.

I actually watched all 3 older Movies as well, but the only other one i liked very much was Mad Max 2. I am really happy that my Father showed me this franchise.

I watched through the entire Dark Knight Trilogy. They are all great films, and I'll even say that the second film is without a doubt my favorite superhero movie of all time (not really a high distinction considering I have a distaste for most anything superhero related with certain exceptions... :yuck:). and I rate the movies as follows:

 

Batman Begins: 9.25/10

Dark Knight: 9.75/10

Dark Knight Rises: 8.5/10

 

Batman Begins isn't really the absolute strongest film, but it is a great opener for the trilogy that sets it up to a degree. The meat of it, The Dark Knight , is an absolutely fantastic film that can't get enough praise for its take on the Joker and the moral questions it asks of us as a society. The tail end, while easily the weakest film of the three, is by no means a bad film and a good way to end the trilogy. Overall, I would rate the trilogy a 9.25/10. It's an absolutely great trilogy of films with great writing, acting, and directing, even if in the third film it isn't as great as the other two.

Fast & furious: Hobbs and Shaw. 7/10. Pretty good for a spinoff.. heck anything from F&F is good.

Midsommar - really weird, not scary at all. There was one scene that I found particularly fascinating and the opening was really strong, but other than that, pretty boring. I expected a lot from this film based on other 'slow burn' horror films like The Witch and especially Hereditary. But, this one was a miss for me, sadly.

Crawl - another film I wanted to watch for the summer. Just loads of fun, definitely recommend.

Death Wish (2018) - I still stand by my affirmation that most action films are pretty basic, but this was pretty fun regardless.

IT: Chapter Two - Oh man, I am disappointed. This looked to be really good and the opening was strong. But, the horribly goofy monster designs and flat-out more comedic approach to this film really hurt any effort it made to actually be enjoyable. I have no qualms with comic relief, just don’t overdo it and know when to do it, because this film sure as hell doesn’t. sigh I was so looking forward to this, but it just sucked. One scene in particular made me believe that the filmmakers didn’t take this one seriously at all. Such a disappointment.
