[Malfeitor]

The Expendables 7/10.

[ClockShot]

Brokedown Palace - 3/5

It ain't no Midnight Express. But with the performances is movie, there's a reason Claire Danes is starring on one of the best shows on TV while Kate Beckinsale is stuck doing Underworld movies.

[CSL]

what, fairly sure Claire Danes would swap places with Kate Beckinsale tomorrow given the option

[ClockShot]

Homeland is pretty darn good from what I hear.

[CSL]

it is very good so far (literally watching an episode as I type this) but no actors/actresses set out to go from film star to TV star ala Claire Danes

[Skippord]

Above the rim 6/10

[The Destroyer]

I dunno, TV doesn't have the shitty reputation it once did.

Anyway, A Dangerous Method - 7/10.

At least two of those marks are for Michael Fassbender and one of them for him whipping Keira Knightley with a belt.

[The Destroyer]

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - 7/10

My enforced Potter marathon continues and I'm shocked to say I'm still actually enjoying it. This was better with the first one and my two major bugbears - crap CGI and wooden child acting - seem to mostly be gone. :y:

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Fargo - 7.5/10
Cinema Paradiso - 7/10
8 1/2 - 2/10
High Noon - 8/10

The Expendables 2: 6/10

not great, but that part where JCVD kicks a knife into someone's heart is the coolest shit I've ever seen. Like a finishing move

My enforced Potter marathon continues and I'm shocked to say I'm still actually enjoying it. This was better with the first one and my two major bugbears - crap CGI and wooden child acting - seem to mostly be gone. :y:

3 is great and is my favorite and is directed by Alfonso Cuarón

[CSL]

I would like to see The Expendables 2 and one of my best friends is gonna go see it tomorrow but he's going with his little sister and I ain't tryin to hook my carriage to that train

[Damian Rey]

ParaNorman: 7/10

Pretty good. Was a little more "pushy" with language and some character action than I was expecting. For instance, theres s character who comes out of the closet. Overall, It was pretty cute.

[Triple Naitch]

Fargo - 7.5/10
Cinema Paradiso - 7/10
8 1/2 - 2/10
High Noon - 8/10
WALL-E - 9/10

Fargo is one of my favorite movies to quote.

"You're a....fucking liar"

[CSL]

The Avengers - 7.5/10

Better than your average superhero film but still yr average superhero film ya dig? Although the Hulk twatting Loki/puny God scene was 23/10, maybe the funniest thing I've seen in film this year

[GD]

The Trotsky - 8/10

It was quite an experience. Discovered it on iTunes.

[Cool King]

The Expendables 2 - 9.5/10

[Rammsteinmad]

Finally got round to seeing Titanic last night! Tried to watch it a few times in the past but always seemed to fall asleep.

Really good film. Probably give it a 7/10, maybe an 8. Good acting, and the characters were easy to get into. The whole sinking part was pretty awesome and sad at the same time, because you know how it's all gonna end.

[PorkSoda]

The Expendables 2 - 7/10. Only a 7? Really?

[The Destroyer]

Public Enemies - 7/10

Been waiting to see it for a while, not bad.

[whiteyford]

Gone Baby Gone 9/10

Surprising twist, really fucking good.

[The Destroyer]

True Grit (the remake) - 8/10

Liked it a lot. Quite a big fan of modern westerns. :y:

True Grit (the remake) - 8/10

Masterpiece:

Aston Kutcher and James Van Der Beek as tough cowboys. Beauty right there.

[The Destroyer]

I refuse to believe that it could be anything but terrible.

[ClockShot]

The Raid: Redemption - 4.5/5

Crazy good. Fast paced, lots of action, and a whole lotta "holy shit" moments. It's right up there with Game of Death in terms of the Tower Assault concept of movies.

Now I gotta see Dredd to see if it can be just as good. But I ain't getting my hopes up.

[The Destroyer]

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 7.5/10

Yeah, again, I liked it, much to my surprise.

[whiteyford]

The Help - 8/10

[whiteyford]

Super - 7.5/10

[The Destroyer]

Rise of the Planet of the Apes - 8/10

I'm never pissing off a super intelligent chimp, that's for sure.

[Sixx]

Rise of the Planet of the Apes - 8/10

I'm never pissing off a super intelligent chimp, that's for sure.

Downloaded it like two weeks ago and still haven't watched it.

Dunno, I think it might be cool and I should try it, but then I start thinking about Marky Mark surrounded by apes an I decide not to.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

The Smurfs - 8/10

[The Destroyer]

Downloaded it like two weeks ago and still haven't watched it.

Dunno, I think it might be cool and I should try it, but then I start thinking about Marky Mark surrounded by apes an I decide not to.
Marky Mark? You're thinking of the wrong film, he was in the pretty bad remake from like 10 years ago.

This one has got James Franco and John Lithgow and is about 30 times better.

[whiteyford]

The Smurfs - 8/10

Really? I thought that was fucking terrible, even with NPH.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

It was mainly for him alone, otherwise it would be 5.

[Raven Reaper]

Breakfast Club - 10/10. Still a lot better than the shitty ass teen dramedies of 2012.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Completely agree, I watch that at the very least once a year.

[Triple Naitch]

American Reunion - 8/10
127 Hours - 7/10
A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas - 8/10

Dial M for Murder - 8.5/10
The King's Speech - 8/10
Princess Mononoke - 7.5/10
Strangers on a Train - 6/10
Big Fish - 7.8/10

[whiteyford]

Where's the rating for Princess Mononoke you cheating scouser?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I don't know what you're talking about, it's right there.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Come to think of it those ratings are all wrong, just felt right at that second I was typing them. I think I rated The Prestige 8/10 and I loved that film a lot more than all of them. Retiring from this thread from this moment on.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

What About Bob? - 8/10

I saw it on Sunday, on TV, and like it quite a lot. Bill Murray cracked me up throughout.

[PorkSoda]

The Raven - 7/10
Tyler Perry Madea Goes To Jail - 4/10
Tyler Perry Big Happy Family - 3/10
War Of The Worlds - 6/10
Bonnie and Clyde - 9/10
The Princess Bride - 15/10. First time I watched this throughout. Loved the damn thing!

[Nicky Fives]

EdTV - 7.5/10.... I actually like Matthew McConnaughey despite all the shit he gets..... and Elizabeth Hurley <3.....*drools

[whiteyford]

Monster brawl 5/10

[Corporate CockSnogger]

How did it manage a 5 for you? One of the worst films I've ever seen, probably rate it no higher than a 1/10 personally.

[dronepool]

Amazing Spider-Man (on stream) 6/10

I thought the "origin" dragged on way too long and it took too long to get to the meaty stuff. Have see it in better quality to decide how much I liked it but it was 'alright'.

[Nicky Fives]

Yogi Bear - 6/10..... for a kids movie, it was quite good......

[Tommy Gunn]

Captain America 2011 - Not bad, a good cast, and good origin story for the first hour, but quickly lost focus when the middle of the film became a clip show of blowing up bases, leading to a rushed ending. Oh well. 7/10

[whiteyford]

How did it manage a 5 for you? One of the worst films I've ever seen, probably rate it no higher than a 1/10 personally.

Kevin Nash fighting Kurgan with Dave Foley on commentary pushed it up a few notches, didn't find it that bad for what it was, might have been over generous in fairness.

[Tommy Gunn]

Thor - Loved the ice planet (can't remember any names sadly), but felt Thor and Natalie Portman didn't have an ounce of chemistry, which made their scenes really drag. Other than Thor, I can't remember a single other character name, other than Loki, that's how underdeveloped the supporting cast were, just background scenery, but it's cool, because the story itself was pretty decent. 7.5/10

[El Fangel]

Lawless

Now normally I would give a rating, an arbitrary number that is meaningless. It is difficult to categorize movies into one of ten piles and leave it at that, sometimes you wonder if it deserved more or you wonder if it deserves less.

This movie however, I will watch time and again. I have not enjoyed any movie as much as this one in years. I am serious when I say this is a classic. If we want to have 10 as perfect, then here you have it. 10/10

And that is just for the climax alone.

[Requiem]

Princess Mononoke is phenomenal. 10/10

Just had to add that, seeing the above ratings. Ghibli is one of my favorite movie studios now. Love me some Pixar, but Ghibli is a whole different ballpark.

No wonder Ebert gave it a perfect score.. Sure, he admits this one being Exorcist as the huge influence but still, Sam Raimi as producer always loves to turn demons into much like the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness versions of the female possessed. Yes, the hand that comes out of the mouth is the fucking creepy shit.. Much better than Paranormal Activity stuff.

The demon lives inside the antique box. You open it, you fucking die. Not much to see except a few missing rotting teeth, body hair, dead moths and a black jewel ring.

My other fave scene: The demon's face exposed during the X-Ray tests of the main possessed girl.

After the movie, I felt my hands and arms a bit shaky.. Despite the air condition in the theater is weak.. I dunno. I think I'm sensitive scary when it comes to demon possessions. Gets me everytime when I was a kid I guess.. Anyway, I liked it.

9/10.

Is it just me or the sister of the possessed girl looks like Lindsay Lohan in her cleany
teenage days or what?

Feel like it lost a bit of steam towards the end, but still, good stuff.

[GD]

Premium Rush - 7/10

[Emperor Smeat]

Iron Man - 4 out of 5

Has that very slow build in the beginning of the film like every recent super hero film does for a character but great film overall.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Friends With Benefits - average. Pretty standard romcom with a few good laughs here and there but doesn't really do anything groundbreaking obviously. Justin Timberlake is pretty likeable though and Mila Kunis is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttt. Richard Jenkins and Woody Harrelson were in it too so it kept my attention.

[whiteyford]

No holds barred. Not sure how to rate it, it was funny as fuck but I don't think that was the intention, 7/10 I guess for the cheesy 80s goodness that it was.

[Tommy Gunn]

Super 8- 8/10

Really enjoyed it, felt like a modern The Monster Squad with splashes of ET and District 9

[The Destroyer]

Remember Me -3/10

Someone at work insisted I watch it. Wish I hadn't. The ending was terrible as well, like a rejected entry from a list of awful twist endings or something.

[Nicky Fives]

American Reunion - 7.5/10..... not quite as good as the old ones, but still an above average movie
The Sum Of All Fears - 5/10..... decent, nothing special, although I never read the Tom Clancy novel the movie was based off of either......

[Raven Reaper]

http://i2.listal.com/image/3946034/936full-the-dinosaur-project-poster.jpg


Only good part of this is they put a cam on one of the dinos that looked like a pathetic poor man version of Dilophosaurus in Jurassic Park. Found footage still trending except with dinos. Ridiculous intro of the sequence saying, "The following images have not been manipulated or changed in any way." Sure, unless you put CGI dinos that looked like they belong in a SyFy TV movie and Terra Nova series.

There's a bit of a plot twist to this: one of them named Charlie is a traitor scientist determined to own Dino island or something despite he wanted to get rid the rest of the crew.

Despite the shittiness, I'm still a sucker for dinos.. And the main hero is a fucking Bieber-ish look-alike in his mid-20s.

4/10.

The Prestige: 9/10

I really enjoyed this one, there were plenty of twists and turns in the story and character development; it was really entertaining to see how both of the main characters evolved due to their obsession with being the best magician, regardless of the cost.

My only minor nit with this movie was with David Bowie's performance. Overall it worked fine, but every now and then he slipped ever so slightly into Jareth mode when he was talking.
It's a small thing, but I found it to be just enough to take me out of the moment.

Overall it's a great film, if you haven't seen it I recommend checking it out.

[PorkSoda]

I'm sorry, guys. I'll rewatch some of it in the next 72 hours and see if my views on it have changed. It was boring and while it was funny, I just thought it wasted my time. I actually skipped through some parts to get to the end because I lost interest in it, so I'll definitely have to re-rate it.

And yes, that part up top made me laugh. The whole "bloodiest movie ever" bit was my favorite. Other than that......it did nothing.

I might as well make an attempt to watch it again now.

[PorkSoda]

Okay, I rewatched most of it. I paid attention to it blah blah blah.

I'll give it a generous 4/10.

Something Hollywood should NEVER EEEEVER dare to remake since I read somewhere they're preparing a reboot of this. Fight scenes/machete gangs/drug lord/corrupt cops become the main story. Forget the rescuing brother or the Swat member's wife getting preggie subplots.. There's this one henchman named Mad Dog despite how many times his head gets smashed on the floor/walls, even a knife to the neck, dammit, he's still got lots of canned whooped ass left in him to beat the shit out of the Swat team.. Almost insane on the same level as the fight scenes in Old Boy too... Go see it.

Not complicated, really.

You just watch the same movie and then post your reviews. We vote whose review is better.

[CSL]

I like it.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Started watching The Hunger Games last week some time and then fell asleep and forgot about it until this morning so I finished it off. Very average film, pretty boring for long stretches and didn't really do anything groundbreaking.

Woody Harrelson aside I didn't really care about any of the characters and wanted a bit more background on him more than anything.

[whiteyford]

Having read the books, I think it'll work better as a series of films rather than a stand alone movie, they cut/altered alot of stuff though.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Well they certainly didn't do enough with the first film to warrent me spending my hard earned download speed on the next film.

If Raven Reaper wants to debate Halloween with me, I'll tell you.

Why did I like Spider Man 3? Well, The Sandman was an interesting character. Not only that, the action scenes were well done, it was well acted, visually was great, the script was decent, and I even liked Venom. I heard/read that people complained that they should have held off on Venom, but I enjoyed seeing him. I thought he was a great addition.

Weird film, worth it for Tom Hardy though.

[Nicky Fives]

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close - 5/10 - didn't care too much for it and only watched it because of Tom Hanks
The Image Of Bruce Li - 8/10 - saw it on TV and watched it, typical kung-fu flick and it was a fairly decent one
Rogue - 8/10 - not a huge animal horror flick fan, but I enjoyed this one..... Radha Mitchell is kinda hot....
The Mexican - 4/10 - nothing special
Mercury Rising - 8/10 - typical Bruce Willis action movie, not as good as the Die Hard's or Cop Out, but still pretty entertaining......

[AKin3D]

Resident Evil: Retribution 5/10

For this movie you really needed to see the last one to make it worth watching. Just like the others it picked up where the last left off, but this time it's more of a wrapping up lose ends. Really it's the end of last film. Nothing WOWing happened. I liked the fact the music wasn't just over played rock songs. I could have gone without everyone but Alice's lines. Really, if you see this movie do not pay attention to there lines. Horrable. Still It was a RE movie and it fits. Just not as good as the others, but not bad.



The Possession 3/10

Skip this movie. Nothing was scary in it. I really can't put this in better words than it was lame. I got tired of the relationship crap. I was left disapointed that the one person I wanted to die...might have not died. He got away in a car and was never seen from again. Maybe he did. IDK. Kyra Sedgwick played her normal flatline role. Jeffrey Dean Morgan couldn't sell his character, the girls we meh. Really I knew it be bad since it was PG-13, but I don't even know if the even a 13 year old would find anything really scary.

Japon - 7/10, good cinematography

Beasts of Southern Wild - 8/10

[Raven Reaper]

Judge Dredd in 3-D.. Now I fully understand this unpopular comic franchise appeal... I think I like to live in a world ruled by judge/cop hybrid type of vigilantes. On the same bad-assery level as Robocop and Punisher. Lena Headey as Ma-Ma the druggie queen bitch herself was the true scene stealer.. Yes, lots of people say this was like The Raid Redemption minus the kung fu kick-ass fighting skills. Lots of gun blazing. And I think I wanna try that SLO-MO DRUG that makes you feel like in the Matrix bullet time mode... I wish they could've used that as a weapon to dodging bullets instead of just relaxing and admiring the slow motion effects of the objects around themselves. It was also spectacular seeing the slow motion effect drug when one of the crooks fall 200 feet from the building splatting blood on the pavement. Intense stuff. 10/10. I AM THE LAW!!!

And yes, the subplot of having a psychic rookie blondie judge cop alongside Dredd reminded me of Robocop's sidekick as well. Hehe... Also, this one blows Stallone's version out of the fucking water... And the portrayal of Mega City as he calls it like a huuuge wasteland desert filled with blown buildings and more dirty streets filled with thugs is almost on par with Nolan's dark realistic version of Gotham in Dark Knight Rises.\

My fave scene: Ms. Anderson the rookie reading the black guy's mind of having sexual rape and getting naked in front of him saying, "Welcome to your fucked up head!"

And the other one: Ma-Ma's slow motion free falling from her building after Dredd pushed her out the window right up to the point where her pretty scarred face splats up-close on the ground headfirst with blood splatting all over the screen.

Fucking intense was the low ammo while huuuge ass guns blazing just to take out 2 judges.

[The Destroyer]

It'd be a fine choice.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - 7/10. Not quite as good as the previous one, but still not bad.
Killer Elite - 6/10. Not the best Jason Statham film I've seen, but it was alright.

[Gertner]

Harry Brown : 10/10

Fucking AMAZING movie

[ooTin]

MI: Ghost Protical. 7.5/10- The gadgets in this movie were the some of the best yet and the action scens were fucking awesome. Many times I found myself jumping or shouting at the action. But it seemed like it was lacking something. Not sure what though. Great story, great camera work, great acting.

[PapaGeorgio]

Dark Shadows 2/10 Watched a decent amount of episodes of the Dark Shadows series, but the movie didn't sit well for me. Not sure if the bias opinion I had going in helped or hurt the movie, probably helped. Awful film I thought.

Monster Brawl 4/10 Fun little movie to watch with friends I guess. Has a bunch of monsters in a wrestling tournament, Kevin Nash and Jimmy Hart is in it. Good flick to watch with some wrestling friends and get drunk too. Nothing great about it though.

[Damian Rey]

Snow White and the Huntsman-6/10
Just a really mediocre movie that could have so good but wasn't. I didn't give two shitsabout any of the characters, including Snow White. Kristen Stewart had zero character to work with, which is sad. It's like they told her to just stare worth her eyes half closed and her mouth agape the whole time.

The Queen was the most interesting character, but her lines at the beginning of the film and a brief flashback to her origin don't match up. Everything just seemed to be thrown together and glossed over and made for a very underwhelming feeling.

[Fox]

Killing Them Softly - 4/10

Just boring. The pacing was sluggish, most of the characters were incredibly forgettable, little to nothing actually happens and the movie feels like a series of pointless conversations. I understand that it was supposed to be a symbolic analogy of government/politics/the financial crisis, but there was no real pay-off.

[KaosDarksol]

21 jump street it was pretty good. Too bad it was only rented because I would definitely watch it again if I owned the movie but don't feel like actually buying it

Dredd (3D) - 9/10

Avengers (on bluray)

Second proper viewing (first was streaming) gets an 8.5 out of 10. Entertaining. Better than ASM, but not TDR. But definitely Marvel's best so far, besides Iron Man 1.

[Sixx]

Better than what?

[XL]

Amazing Spider-Man?

[Sixx]

Oh.

Road To Perdition - 9.5/10 - I wouldn't have believed it when you told me that Tom Hanks could pull of playing a gangster, but he did and I really enjoyed the movie.....

[dronepool]

Amazing Spider-Man?

Yup. It was pretty good but I also need to properly watch it. I think that certain parts seemed to drag on, so it could have used more action or at least be 10 minutes shorter.

Get Smart - 4 out of 5

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Men in Black 3 - Fairly fun film, better than the 2nd one. Josh Brolin was very good and Will Smith always makes me laugh no matter what he's in. They were a bit lazy with some of the time travel stuff and so there was quite a few plotholes but still pretty enjoyable for what it was.

[XL]

Did Will Smith make you laugh in Seven Pounds? Huh!? Well!?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

He probably did at least once.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Actually, me and a friend of mine have an inside joke involving the film so I guess even indirectly he has, if not actually in the film. <3 Will Smith.

Kristen Stewart?

Pretty certain she was cast because the director had a boner for her for some reason.

[XL]

Pretty certain she was cast because she is a pretty big/the biggest Hollywood star for the key demographic of movie goers that the film was looking for due to her starring role in the Twilight saga.

Do you read the synopsis of a movie before you watch it or just look at the title and decipher its plot based on that? Did you imagine American Pie was a movie based around a US baking competition, possibly starring a young Lou Diamond Philips, who has to win the national pie baking contest to get the money he needs to save his grandparents farm, and maybe learn a little something about life and love, with the snarky but equally troubled young woman he's competing against, an excellently cast Diane Lane i'd assume? Just to save you the trouble, its about a guy who fucks a pie. I'm pretty sure half of the words you used to describe Bad Santa are on the cover.

[Skippord]

I'd watch the shit out of that version of American Pie

[whiteyford]

It's the image of LDP in a chefs hat that swayed you isn't it? I also want to see my version now.

[Skippord]

it was the image of LDP in a chefs hat hugging his grandfather who's grudging respect he won by saving the farm through the majesty of a pie baking contest.

[Skippord]

do you want to write a screenplay together?

I picture the grandfather as Edward James Olmos.

She falls in love with LDP throughout the movie and they win the baking contest together, his cut to save the farm, hers to follow her dream, leave her abusing, cheating husband and open up a zoo-themed bakery.

Insidious 2.0 meets The Ring (except it's in a movie projector super 8 snuff film equipment), and Children of the Corn. Intense cut scenes of the 1st person view in a killer's perspective from a happy family enjoying their picnics then it quickly cuts to the gruesome parts of burning, mutilation, lawn mowing the bodies, and hanging of the family members.. Perfect Halloween boo moments this month...

9/10. Why did I say Children of the Corn? Well, see for yourself...

O_______O. It's the equivalent of David Cronenberg's twisted mind ala Dead Ringers and a bit of Holy Mountain/Kubrick style sequences. I liked the themes of religion, teen angst, losing virginity, birth control, uncontrolled STDs in one movie aside from the ambition of having science taking control over the overprotecting parents..

The ending was just... another scream of, "WHY THE FUCK DID SHE DO THAT?!?! WHAT IS SHE TRYING TO PROVE HERE?!?!"

Although it taught me a lesson about losing virginity without controlled behavior or being paranoid of asking if the girl has STDs. Loved that part btw.

It says on the cover it's a horror movie.

So it's a horror movie about losing virginity, birth control and STDs?

[Raven Reaper]

Yeah well not only that, The ending even had the main sociopathic girl killing her sister and the neighbor jump roping bitch by lung transplants due to her sister's cystic fibrosis disease.

Some critics say it's more of a black comedy type of horror. :/

6/10.

Really does live up to its name. Everyone dies on this one due to "secrets" being revealed by each friend, and a little girl ghost kills them one by one either by luring them to the highway until a truck runs over them or falling in the basement when doors keep slamming shut. I liked the twist subplot of the killer being an adopted brother of the ghost girl before the accident happened at the start of the movie. Weird-ass shit going on here.

Argo-7.5/10. Solid flick, but I don't have any urge to go back and watch it again. Though the final quarter or so is some of the best suspense filmmaking I've seen in a while.

A biography on Chuck Wepner. Fucking Sylvester Stallone basically stole this dude's identity to make millions. Seriously.

The Grey

6.0/10

I can't remember the last time I saw a movie that tried so hard to get you to care about the characters while doing so little to develop them.
Some of the action scenes are fun, and there is a palpable tension throughout the movie, however, I felt it bogged down in the middle and wandered aimlessly toward the end.
Speaking of the ending, it would've been nice if this movie had one.
I realize they're trying to go for the 'assumed' ending, but when your final scene depicts Liam Neeson duct-taping broken shooters to his fists in a last stand against an alpha wolf, you might as well go all the way with it.
Instead, the movie ends at the last possible second before the fight ensues.
Not a terrible movie, but it tries to take itself way more seriously than it should.

[Cool King]

The Room - I really don't know how to rate this. It was good, but only because it was so bad that it was actually entertaining. If that makes sense. :-\

I watched it last night was a group of friends, so that was probably what made it so good, that we could all laugh at it. I get the feeling if I watched it alone, I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I did.

So I guess if I rate it by how much I enjoyed it last night, I'd give it something like 8/10.

[The Destroyer]

Taken - 7.5/10, possibly nudging to an 8. I do like Liam Neeson.

[Tommy Gunn]

Finally seen Avengers, Joss Whedon took what could have easily turned into a complete clusterfuck and delivered a thoroughly entertaining film. 8/10

[Ermaximus]

Paranormal Activity 4-4/10

There were some cool parts involving a Kinect sensor and some visible spirits, but other than that, this franchise has run its course. Sadly, it looks like PA5 is going to take place in all Spanish. Hooray.

[Blitz]

I don't know how people disliked the ending to The Grey. I am assuming they are stupid.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

On the real! Not sure how having a 10 second fight between a man and a wolf would make the film any better.

[stultiloquy]

It may not have made the movie any better, but you would at least get a clear resolution from a final fight, no matter the outcome.

What I find to be the particularly glaring issue with the ending is that it felt severely misplaced to me, especially when you consider how absurd the rest of the movie is.

The entire movie is about these guys surviving ridiculous circumstances - (circumstances which should have surely killed them 15 minutes into the film), all the while fighting off poorly rendered CG wolves, jumping off cliffs and surviving, making working tightropes out of shirts to cross chasms, and they cap it off with Liam Neeson taping shooters to his fists.

After all that they tack on a non-ending in an effort to induce a poignant cliffhanger, so they can try and get the audience to empathize with a character that's barely been developed.

When your movie has spent the previous 115 minutes fully embracing it's preposterous premise, it might as well commit to it through the end, rather than turn pretentious for the finale.

Like I said, it tried to take itself way more seriously than it should.

[Kris P Lettus]

You get a very clear resolution to the film. I maintain that the ending is as perfect as it can get for this story. There is only one possible outcome to one man vs. a pack of wolves, and it isn't guy kills all wolves then a rescue helicopter flies over and everything is just dandy bars. The film ends with Ottway being done with running, making his stand, and knowing full well that he's done. But he's going out on his own terms. Not drowning in a river or falling off a cliff. Once more into the fray. That's the resolution, not something as pat as whether he gets rescued or not.

The main problem with The Grey was that it was marketed as Liam Neeson vs. Wolves, and that's not what it is at all. Just because the premise and some of the events of a film are preposterous, it doesn't mean the film itself was. There's not a lot of films that have genuinely realistic premises and characters. The characters are developed enough, it's just in a much more subtle way than most films. I didn't find any of them to be stock character like you might think you'd see in a film like this.
