[Movies] Last Movie You Saw and What You Would Rate it Out of 10

[Deleted]

Lucy - 6/10
Pretty good turn your brain off film, and one with Morgan Freeman where he does not steal the lime light.

She turned into a fucking USB. 0/10.

[Animalhouse]

Ghostbusters 4/10
Forced comedy that just did not work. Sad remake.

Star Trek Beyond 4/10
The villain was horrible, it made no sense. I somehow missed how he transformed and lived so long. The other starship on the planet was a stupid convenience. The enemy base had like 100 bad guys but when they took off to attack they had a million (WTF where did they come from?), saw one rack that held the small ships...there should have been 50k of them to equal the force you see in the movie. Love Star Trek but was very upset with that joke of a film.

She turned into a fucking USB. 0/10.

She made a USB. Not turned into one. At the end she was, for a lack of a better word: everywhere.

She turned into a fucking USB. 0/10.

But, if you where paying very close attention, it was a nod to 2001 and the monoliths, it was full of stars.
Now if you know anything about the monoliths, you know that they guided and manipulated the minds of primative species in order to help them evolve and advance.
The same can be said about the "USB" the LUCY left behind. She provided mankind with the knowledge to advance itself.

Black Swan (2010) - on desktop. It was recommended as a "mind fuck" movie and it got high ratings so I figured I'd watch it.

It was absolute garbage. It was painful to sit through. The pacing is horrible. It's like you're forced watching really obvious stuff and it's supposed to invoke feeling in you, but like one sentence describing the emotion is all you need.

>Girl has high expectations from her Mom to do well at ballet, since Mom was in the same field.
>Girl wants lead role. Has to change part of herself to get it.
>There's another girl who has what she's missing so she has to learn from her.
>There's a theme of needing to fuck your way to the top to be good.
>There's a theme of paranoia and fearing being edged out.

I just described the movie for you in 5 sentences. No need to see it.

OH WAIT. Maybe you do wanna see it because it feels like softcore porn. No nudity, but plenty of perverted scenes. No wonder this got referenced by Family Guy.

2/10. I give it 1 point for being a movie. I give it another point for the execution, because even though it feels cliche and forced, the acting and plot goes the way the directors want, I guess.

The only reason I didn't stop watching was because I thought there was gonna be a clever ending. Nope.

Edit: After @Winter Blossom's revelation, I'll revise my rating to 3/10. An extra point for underlying motivations for the character's behaviors. I feel it enriches the story somewhat so maybe it is a bit more well-thought, but it doesn't affect the story if you watch it.

It's very entertaining watching the reviews from people who didn't get a movie AT ALL versus the reviews of deeper thinking audiences. No point to this statement, I just find it highly enjoyable. Like people watching at the airport.

Anyway, watched Southpaw today. 8/10. Very moving, very quality boxing scenes as an added bonus.

[Blueobelisk]

What's cleaver about it is Nina and her mum are actually in a sexual relationship and have been for awhile. It hints that it's been going on since childhood (molested by mum), and thats what's caused Nina to have the child-like behavior as an adult and eventual psychotic break. She masterbates to the thought of her mother and the sex-scene between Mila Kunis's character and Nina was actually between mother and daughter.

There's some other scenes that hint towards it, but I don't recall all of them (haven't seen the movie in awhile).

Don't know if you caught that, but maybe it makes the story more interesting if you know what's really going on

Interesting. I've revised my rating and I do think it adds a layer of depth that I hadn't noticed.

<- got called a shallow thinker

I'm not offended, of course, but I don't think my analysis was shallow. First of all, my rating system is pretty detailed since there are a lot of things that have to go in to make a movie good.

But I went through the people who posted ratings for this movie in this thread and I don't see a reason Black Swan gets such high praise. It's not really that special. The acting and execution are good, like I said. What the directors wanted to get conveyed did get conveyed. It doesn't take some art snob to appreciate the situation the main character is in and understand what she has to go through, but it's not the best thing to watch on screen for 100 minutes. In fact, I'd call it simplistic enough that the movie could have been conveyed in 40 minutes with the same amount of intensity.

So, if you think there was something I don't understand, please explain. I would love to understand this on a deeper level.

Btw some people might give it extra points because it's "beautiful" and I agree the whole end performance was really nice to watch, but that doesn't suddenly make it a great movie.

Nerve - 6.9/10

Not a 7 only because of the bad ending but i enjoyed the majority of the movie.
It starts as a comedy/adventure and ends as a Thriller at a good pacing and at a good flow.
Everything is fun and games at the begining which was entertaining for me. Mid movie it turns into an enteresting thriller but at the end...it failed to be unique and interesting.

I think is a fun highschool movie. I don't know, i enjoyed it.

[King Shark]

Terminator: Genisys. 7/10, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Nothing really ground breaking, and the effects were better in T2, but, not a bad little popcorn movie. That said, I base this rating entirely upon not comparing it against T1 and T2, otherwise, this movie would be a 2 at best.

Jungle Book (2016). 9/10. Loved it. Idris Elba. Need I say more?

<- got called a shallow thinker.

Oh whoops. No I totally see how it seems like that. Sorry, I was half asleep when I wrote that. I was indeed talking about the Black Swan reviews but my response wasn't aimed at you or even this thread. That movie has attracted so many casual movie goers who are suddenly turned into expert analysts over night. Folks watch it and feel like they've been transformed into the most perceptive person ever. Gets under my skin a bit.

My statement was more of a general thing. Actually, as often as I've disagreed with you in the past, we're on the same page with that movie. Even if I didn't agree with you, I'd definitely lump you into the realm of "deeper" thought after a review like that. So yeah, my bad.

On topic: Watched The Sixth Sense for the first time since it was brand new. God I miss M. Night's passion before... well before whatever happened to him happened. The camera work and the score were absolutely wonderful. It's one of those rare occasions where knowing the big twist at the end only added to the experience instead of leaving you underwhelmed. 9/10 movie. Loved it.

[Ayirasi]

Ajeossi (The Man From Nowhere): 9 ~ 10 Not bad. Not bad at all. Pretty solid action-thriller. Won Bin is a handsome-ass dude, and Kim Sae-ron was adorable. Their chemistry really hit me in the feels at several points. It's like a, uh... Leon: The Professional. If Leon was John Wick. And Korean. A handsome-ass Korean dude. Glad I stumbled upon it, if a bit late.

[karzal]

Fury (2014): 8/10, as of recent I've gotten into military movies again and thus I decided to watch Fury. This is a really good movie, that supposedly looks more 'gruesome' in comparison to other war movies because David Ayer wanted it to be more realistic. The acting is superb, but then again the cast is really good (Brad Pitt, Jon Bernthal, Logan Lerman, Shia LaBeouf & Michael Pena among others). I really liked it and this movie especially has made me try and find more good war movies that have beende during the past few years.

The Siege of Jadotville (2016): 7.5/10, Netflix movies, oh god. They're either decent or incredibly bad. This one however surprised me. I decided to watch it for no appearant reason, and I actually sort of enjoyed it. It wasn't great, but it was good enough. The acting was good enough, though there were some lines that I felt were over the top.

[Fencers]

The Accountant 7/10

Fun movie. I felt I didn't get enough character or action. The movie tries to split the middle of the two but I was unsatisfied by lack of either one. I could have done with either more action or more character- both aspects were very enjoyable in the movie.

Well shot and directed. Middling performances. Affleck and Bernthal are good though. Anna Kendrick sucked hard.

Shin Godzilla 6/10

I kinda liked it but felt it was a little boring too. Very talky like the older films but there wasn't a lot of tension to those scenes. Or desperation even.

All the parts with Godzilla wrecking shit were A++ though.

Oh yeah, I saw American Psycho on desktop like weeks ago. I only saw it and am rating it here because it seems to be a bit popular on the internet.

Uhhhhh. It was very unexpected. If I went into a movie theater to see that, I would be like "wtf am I watching."

There's no real plot, it's just like following this guys life for a couple of weeks, and the conclusion is pretty...awkward. Not awkward for the main character or audience, but from a story telling perspective it's just really unconventional.

Is it at least interesting? Yeah it kind of is, in the sense of studying the psychology of a...an unorthodox formal main character.

I'll give it a 3.5/5 as an "entertaining documentary." I don't consider it a movie.

[RobertoCarlos]

American psycho is a comedy and at least a 7+ out of 10. Plus it started Christian Bales career.

The Conjuring 1&2 - 7/10

They were ok, I don't know if you can call them scary or not. Personally I didn't find them very scary at all. Decent enough movies though, acting is great, set design/costume etc is all good. Can see why they are popular

[Hotmail]

Snowden 2/10 - Another disappointment from Oliver Stone. Why stretch 60 minutes of content over 134 minutes of sleep-inducing, forgettable escapades? That is 223% longer than it needed to be.

The overpriced processed foods that I bought from the theater were the only high point of the evening! In fact, here is the best way to summarize the time that I spent with that movie:

Snowden: Just try to enjoy your Skittles and forget about it.

[Dug]

Sausage Party - 3/10

Had like maybe 2 laughs throughout the movie, everything else was just pretty meh and the end scene went on for way too long that it stopped being absurd and just went into a gross territory imo. One of Seth Rogans weakest movies

[Sierra85]

Yoga Hosers - 4/10

not my cup of tea.

[Blueobelisk]

3.5/5 is equal to 7/10.

I, too, saw The Conjuring 2.

How do I say this. Most horror movies have bad CGI, the characters are retarded and behave in dumb ways, the situations seem really avoidable, or there are other problems with them being cheesy. The Conjuring feels really professional, polished, and well-done. It's really unusual for the category so in that regard, it's already like a must-watch if you like horror movies.

Plot was alright. Kinda theatrical/showy for dramatic effect at time.
Story was okay, not as good as the first one.
Characters were fun to watch. They definitely had charm.
The moments of horror were...not that scary. Again, they were showy, but didn't feel too intense.

It felt like a high quality movie, but the atmosphere wasn't scary.

I'll give it 6/10. That's because it's probably a good movie in general. Was my desire to feel scared satisfied? Not even a little.
