Well the film quality IMO can go down when its on TBS or other cable channels often giving it a more TV like appearance.. I would never think that it looked like a Sitcom.. Giving away your Blu ray is weird to me.. It may not be caps best outing but its still cap

Well it wasn't like I singled out my Avengers blu-ray and held it up saying "begone vile blemish!" I was just purging a bunch of movies that I hadn't watched in 2+ years and Avengers didn't make the cut.

Yep he liked Escape from LA and did not like Die Hard.. His taste was really strange at times.

Yeah it was. He even loved Speed 2 which boggles my mind. But more often than not I agreed with or at least understood his reasons for liking or not liking a movie, even if I didn't agree with his actual opinions on said movie. And I always gave him props for endorsing ALIENS in spite of the film's intensity making him depressed and down on life, lol:

"The ads for "Aliens" claim that this movie will frighten you as few movies have, and, for once, the ads don't lie. The movie is so intense that it creates a problem for me as a reviewer: Do I praise its craftsmanship, or do I tell you it left me feeling wrung out and unhappy? It has been a week since I saw it, so the emotions have faded a little, leaving with me an appreciation of the movie's technical qualities. But when I walked out of the theater, there were knots in my stomach from the film's roller-coaster ride of violence. This is not the kind of movie where it means anything to say you "enjoyed" it.

"Aliens" is absolutely, painfully and unremittingly intense for at least its last hour. Weaver goes into battle to save her colleagues, herself and the little girl, and the aliens drop from the ceiling, pop up out of the floor and crawl out of the ventilation shafts. (In one of the movie's less plausible moments, one alien even seems to know how to work the elevator buttons.) I have never seen a movie that maintains such a pitch of intensity for so long; it's like being on some kind of hair-raising carnival ride that never stops.

I don't know how else to describe this: The movie made me feel bad. It filled me with feelings of unease and disquiet and anxiety. I walked outside and I didn't want to talk to anyone. I was drained. I'm not sure "Aliens" is what we mean by entertainment. Yet I have to be accurate about this movie: It is a superb example of filmmaking craft.

The director, James Cameron, has been assigned to make an intense and horrifying thriller, and he has delivered. Weaver, who is onscreen almost all the time, comes through with a very strong, sympathetic performance: She's the thread that holds everything together.

The supporting players are sharply drawn. The special effects are professional. I'm giving the movie a high rating for its skill and professionalism and because it does the job it says it will do. I am also advising you not to eat before you go to see it.

3.5/4 stars

He didn't want to give it a good review but he knew it'd be wrong not to.

Or it will slowly turn to crap like AOU and IM3 (and soon Thor 3 mark my words )

Ha ha, yep. And I'm still shocked to this day that I enjoyed Independence Day: Resurgence on my first viewing. When I saw it again a second time on HBO all I could think was "uhh, Khev, what the hell...."

So I recognize that my opinion of a so so blockbuster like JL could easily take a turn as well.

Seriously though.. ROTJ... Weird film... I go through fazes with that film.. Loved it when I first saw it as a 12 year old.. Hated it when I was older and now I am back to loving parts of it and allowing those parts to shine over some of the things I don;t care for (which is mostly lazy acting and script)

I hated ALIEN 3 when I first saw it.. I have no issues with it now.

Yep agreed on both counts with regard to ROTJ and A3. Loved ROTJ as a kid. Didn't think anything of its flaws or even that it had any. As I got older though...and especially after reading Gary Kurtz' comments about what ROTJ was originally *supposed* to be I found myself quite disgusted with what it turned into (except for the space battle, never once did I turn on that. ) But now after movies like TFA and RO have made Han and Vader cool again and seeing how TFA *didn't* match certain elements of ROTJ (like, again, the space battle) it now has it's own little place of unique respectability that I can appreciate.

JL could go down the Batman Forever path for me.. I actually really liked Batman forever when I first saw it.. Loved it actually.. But then the "commando Effect" took over and every viewing after that I just started to notice a little bit each time how bad it was.. Now I see It as pretty awful with Val being the only bright spot.

I hope JL does not take that road to nowhere for me

Yep, as I said above we'll see where JL goes after a second viewing and then maybe after a year or two for me. Right now I feel like it's harmless fun so hopefully that's how it remains.

Really think he will be used again? WB might just go ahead with JL2 but at this point he might be in SS 2 for all we know!

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the Penguin.







Yeah.

Sorry but this clip still gives me shivers- he IS the Batman in every way I ever wanted him to look! (stomach included)

 

[Captain Clown]

I'm glad Manganiello got to play Deathstroke, even if it's for one end-credits scene. I 'memba when he wasn't even sure if he'd be in The Batman after all the rewrites it went/is going through.

He looks cool.

Holy **** what happened?

 

[ironwez20]

Who is that girl next to him? So fine. Look like Beyoncé

 

[Rainpaulo]

Affleck really is a great Batman.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

He can't beat Bale?

Only in an elbow fight

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Could be worse. I hear IrishJedi is having tossed salad.

I may not be the biggest fan of the MCU but every one that has been available in 3D I own in 3D. Both Guardians of the Galaxys and Dr. Strange are standouts 3D-wise.

Dr. Strange was a mind **** in 3D

 

[jye4ever]

Jesus that’s bad ass.

I have never seen it in 3D either..

*note to self

Keep Uncle Bingo in the wings incase I ever need to replace Khev and JAWS.

Affleck really is a great Batman.

I'm probably in the minority but I find 3D to be a waste of time when it comes to almost all movies, so add me to the list of those who haven't seen A1 in 3D. Maybe that's why I didn't care for Doctor Strange much - maybe I need to see it in 3D to get a better visual experience.

 

[jye4ever]

Don’t DS 3D was poorly done crap.

Want great conversions watch Avengers, TWS, CW, Jurassic Park and Force Awakens, RO Scariff battle.

I may be in the minority but I absolutely love 3D. Especially at home on your own tv.

 

[Rainpaulo]

3d is all hype and little substance.

I like it in the theater, that's about it

Sounds like a DC movie
