Inception 8/10

10/10. Still love that movie.

Red Lights - 4/10

Nice cast. Interesting premise. Dull script. Gratuitous twist.

Jurassic Park - 10/10 How the hell do we go from thinking this was a good movie, to thinking that other new one is a good movie? Like 71% good

15 minutes in, JP already had 3 times more personality and character than the entirety of JW, hell, it had a stronger theme than JW at that point, ****ing Grant getting 2 female ends of a seat belt? Tying them up together, "life finds a way"?.

****ing dinner table debate on the ethics of genetics? All that **** even before the action started.

Ian Malcolm, what a ****ing rockstar.

The whole "I hate kids but now I like them" actually makes sense here, like everything else they regurgitated on JW.

Impressive how the CGI holds up so well, look even better than the prequel trilogy and even movies that came out later, it doesn't look wonky today and if it ever gets to look outdated, well it doesn't matter, cause it has a mattress of actual substance to fall on, every single thing happening on screen is more captivating and truly entertaining than the "best" scene in average CGI JW.

I could go on and on on how great this movie is, why the hell do we have to settle for Bay-tier stuff now? Inb4 "B-but w-we weren't expecting it to be better than t-the original".

Hell, I watched Independence day the other day and it's also waaay better than JW and most summer blockbusters these days.

God I'm starting to feel old

Hot damn, now that's another review you've knocked right out of the park . Yeah, there were so many subtle nuances that made JP great. Like you mentioned, Grant's character development was handled very well. Then, there was Ian Malcolm's debates on "life" and chaos theory that served as a moral compass for the story. I think the CGI holds up very well to this day, and the movie benefited tremendously from Stan Winston's designs that were used in animatrionics. Remember the scene when the baby raptor was hatching from the egg? That ALONE had more emotion, that the pretentious drivel from JW. And then at the end of the scene, ominous music starts to play, which tells you that Grant was holding a deadly monster in his hands. Again, subtleties.

I really liked Independence Day, too - much more JW. It's actually hard to dislike any movie with The Goldblum .

I still haven't watched ID4 in it's entirety yet.

No plans to either.

I know, you share the characters' excitement, I was thinking "holy ****, dinos!", and JW had me like "meh, dinos"

JW had a point, I was totally unimpressed by it and it was the 1st time I saw it, but then again, I watched JP again for like 20th time and it's 10x more gripping, so dinosaurs and trends are not the problem, your ****** quality is

Oh man, Stan, many movies I've seen lately had Stan's VFX , they make movies much more authentic, it's not even ****ing nostalgia is that they were THAT good.

I still haven't watched ID4 in it's entirety yet.

No plans to either.

Ian "Chaos" Malcolm is all you need to watch it...

Great review. JP had so many layers to it, and felt way more than the standard Avengers Dinosaur film. I'd say 95% of the CGI holds up in JP, with only one or two that I find questionable. All the actors and their characters are excellent, but I think Attenborough truly sold the film. I completely bought his character, he did it so naturally. "Welcome, to Jurassic Park!" "I'll show you."

BTW the belt buckle observation is great, I never noticed that.

It's a very cerebral monster film, if that's the right way to describe it. Questioning the morality of creating and imprisoning these extinct creatures.

I still haven't watched ID4 in it's entirety yet.

No plans to either.

The film falls apart as soon the Alien attack is over, the rest is meh.

Superman Returns: 6.5/10

 

[Road Blaster]

10/10. Still love that movie.

I love it too. I almost gave it a 9.

 

[K07]

JP >>>>>>>> JW. It's not even a contest. I enjoyed JW. I expected it to be crap. It might have been but it was entertaining and enjoyable to watch so I didn't notice. I don't think it's on par with Bayformers. I only saw the first Bayformers and hated it. I didn't like a single character and it felt like a chore to sit through. JW ( at least the single viewing I gave it) didn't feel like a chore. JP is a far better film in every regard. None of the sequels come close to being as good.

I love it too. I almost gave it a 9.

Everyone rates things differently around these parts. Is this pure enjoyment score or are you judging all the technical aspects? Just curious what part holds it back for you.

That's a movie where I wouldn't change a single thing. I can't put it on as a background noise filler movie when I clean the house or grade papers. I just get sucked in and can't look away. It's my favorite Nolan movie.

JPIII >>> JW

Fixed.

If i was rating it on pure enjoyment i would give it a 9/10 but I was judging all the technical aspects.
Some of the plot holes make it less enjoyable on multiple viewings.
Interstellar on the other hand is a 10/10. It's my favorite movie ever.

3/10 Maggie (2015)

This movies pacing is so painfully slow, not even Arnold could save it.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Into the Storm - 2/10

 

[Sundowner]

Last Action Hero - 9/10

 

[Road Blaster]

American Psycho 9/10

Ian "Chaos" Malcolm is all you need to watch it...

Mate, I don't doubt he's the highlight.

To be honest, I don't think I've paid attention to any of Roland Emmerich's films properly.

They're so forgettable that I could not be bothered with them.

I haven't seen Independence Day, and the Emmerich factor is the main thing that's keeping me in no rush to see it.

 

[Knightstalker]

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. One of those films I've been meaning to watch for years. Glad I did. As a TP fan, I found it fascinating, and enjoyed how much it fleshed out Laura Palmers last days. Looking forward to Season 3 now.

Bullitt - 7.5/10

 

[K07]

ID4 isn't horrible. I loved it as a kid. But there are many movies I loved as a kid I can't sit through as an adult anymore. ID4 is not one of them. I give it a 6/10.
