RATE or REVIEW The Last Movie You Watched.

[Centurion]

I've got Edge of Tomorrow dvr'ed. I was planning on watching it tonight.
I hope I'm not wasting my time.

 

[a-dev]

Nope, you won't be. Very enjoyable film.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

I think it's his best film since Minority Report.

 

[marker2037]

Oblivion is also an underrated film of his. Say what you want about the guy, but he makes stellar sci-fi movies.

American Sniper - 8/10

 

[a-dev]

I even like War of the Worlds, although I realise that will make some people consider my movie recommendations to be suspect after saying so.

 

[marker2037]

Yea it's entertaining enough. I don't mind that movie and I watch it if it's on TV.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

The Edge of Tomorrow - 10/10 No clue why people hated this!? Thought it was great.

People don't hate the film, because most people didn't even see it. Critics loved it, but there were several reasons why a lot of people didn't see it.

1. The trailers and the marketing sucked. It's a fun film, but you wouldn't know that from the marketing.

2. They changed the name from "All you Need is Kill"...which is cool and badass, to something generic and forgettable, "Edge of Tomorrow."

3. Oblivion which came out the previous year and most people thought this film looked similar, and not in a good way.

4. It's a Tom Cruise film...and "hating" Tom Cruise because of his personal beliefs seems to be the "cool" thing to do nowadays.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

Lone Survivor - 9.5/10

To me this is a far better film than American Sniper.

Not to bring religion into the thread, but Cruise is also a Scientologist, possibly the very face of Scientology. Not only do they believe in some truly bizarre ****, they can be very hostile if you're critical of their beliefs or if you try to leave the Church. If Scientology isn't a cult, it features many of the same characteristics.

I don't think Scientology counts as a religion ...but who knows? Regardless, I really don't care if he believes in the Chupacabras and worships ancient mummified monkey turds. He could drink unicorn blood to stay young for all I care I don't care about actors personal lives, if that was the case I'd probably wouldn't like most actors...I mean look at Johnny Depp, he still dresses like it's 1987...but I don't care as long as the movie is good. When I watch a film, I just want to be entertained and like the characters, not the actors, but that's just me.

Now the day he goes crazy an kills a bunch of people, then I'll probably won't watch his films....maybe

Yep...... Wotw was god awful

I thought Oblivion sucked also, his best film imo was collateral

I don't like his films because of how nutty he is, but mainly because they all suck, for every good movie he had made, he had three terrible ones to go with it

None of that matters. I don't believe in any invisible man in the sky or warship to images of a guy nailed to wood. Doesn't keep me some watching movies made by those that do.

I don't concern myself with what other do with their personal time.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

I bet his character in Tropic Thunder is how he actually is.

According to wikipedia, Scientology is legally recognized as a tax-exempt religion in the United States, South Africa, Australia, Sweden, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal and Spain.

Most of Tom Cruise's detractors dislike him for his belief in Scientology. Some dislike him for his antics in public. I don't dislike him, per se. It's just that I don't find most of his movies from the past decade as engrossing as his earlier stuff.

None of that matters. I don't believe in any invisible man in the sky or warship to images of a guy nailed to wood. Doesn't keep me some watching movies made by those that do.

I ordinarily don't concern myself with an artist's political or religious beliefs. They very rarely keep me from enjoying his or her work. For example, Mel Gibson and the Mad Max movies and Braveheart.

They can however inform and shape an artist's work. For example, Mel Gibson and The Passion of the Christ.

Or Keanu Reeve and The Matrix. He's the one. And the true savior of the human race. Cruise probably wrote the Wikipedia page

At that point it is kind of depending and exclusive. I mean when "Son of God" came out last year, I doubt everyone was roaring to see it. My mother, decided to give it a go, and like I said, pretty exclusive. I think maybe 10 people were there too.

I do like your use of Mel, it is pretty accurate, but I mean Edge of Darkness came out a few years after Passion of the Christ, and man, did that not stop him from being a cliche 80's star (or Expendables 3).

I see you're a Matrixian, eh? Those who disagree with your beliefs shall be "Woahed" to death?

The Passion of the Christ was, quite literally, a passion project for Mel.

I think one can shelve his or her personal beliefs if one believes in a project or wants to work with a particular artist. Or needs the money. Clint Eastwood and The Bridges of Madison County, anyone?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Is The Bridges of Madison County considered a bad film? Never seen it. Didn't Eastwood make a film with a monkey?

I never saw it, so I couldn't say one way or the other. That's beside the point. The guy who played The Man With No Name was in a "chick flick." Wrap your head around that.

"The Bridges of Madison County is a 1992 best-selling novel by Robert James Waller that tells the story of a married but lonely Italian woman living in 1960s Madison County, Iowa. She engages in an affair with a National Geographic photographer from Bellingham, Washington, who is visiting Madison County to create a photographic essay on the covered bridges in the area. The novel is presented as a novelization of a true story, but it is in fact entirely fictional. However, the author has stated in an interview that there are strong similarities between the main character and himself.

The novel is one of the bestselling books of the 20th century, with 50 million copies sold worldwide."

That was "Any Which Way But Loose" and it's sequel "Any Which Way You Can." He was in them. He didn't make them.
