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

[Frozen Death Knight]

I'd agree with this, except I believe the movie is entertaining enough with its story (and it has enough original ideas in it, despite it being a very familiar plot line), it just isn't the masterpiece it is sometimes thought to be because of the great immersive effects.

I'll admit I loved the movie when it was in theaters, but once I actually watched it at my own home on Blu-Ray it was a lot harder to sit through and I had no desire to ever really want to watch it again.

Well, I do not find the movie to be terrible (it's simply not something that would catch my interest, which it did not do). I did watch it on TV a bit when it was on the other day, but I zapped after a while since I got a bit tired of the visuals, which I do find to be bland most of the time (some of the stuff when the characters were at the ground with a lot of varying colours catched my interest, though). Being an artist, gamer, movie watcher, as well as a reader, I have seen a good chunk of fantasy and science fiction to determine my personal tastes to them, and the movie sadly did not deliver for me. The environmental design looked weird with some questionable things like anti-gravitational mountains as well as other fantasy shaped objects (the mix of science fiction and fantasy did not work as well here as I have seen other movies have).

The most original thing I found about the character and creature designs was the hair sex for the Na'vi (should be considered the most impractical reproduction system, ever). Just the thought of all the possibilities regarding this idea makes me giggle inside. So many jokes... XD

One thing I can say about the plot that I did enjoy was the parts regarding the function of the avatars themselves and the technical aspects that made it possible for the humans to live on the planet (not being able to breathe the air on another planet, while not original, did help provide some decent suspense when it came into play). I would not have minded the movie too much if it did not recycle so much of the formula while at the same time creating issues with the plot because of said formula. Not to mention that I disliked similar movies like Pocahontas because of the plot, so it was doomed for me at the very start.

Yeah, if you saw it on TV for the first time then it likely doesn't seem as good as it was in the theaters with the great 3D effects. The visuals were fantastic, but it was the main thing going for the movie, if the TV was the first time I had seen it I probably would have passed it for decent but not great too.

Because I saw it in the theaters first I pass it for good, and fantastic cinematography (for how it was meant to be seen, in a large theater with 3D) but merely decent in all other aspects (which decent is mediocre for James Cameron)

I heard that it looked spectacular in 3D, but I have never been a fan of 3D (gimmick, in my opinion). Still, I would have probably enjoyed it more at the cinema. A short coming of the film, since movies I enjoy watching should be enjoyable in their own right, without the need of a movie ticket (although I do think big screens with all its perks do improve the experience for most movies).

Well most movies use sub par 3D techniques, foremost is port 2D to 3D. Where is Avatar was filmed in 3D, using special cameras that Cameron developed especially for Avatar.

Some movies are better on the big screen and thats why we love them. I remember watching Alien on the big screen and thinking, it dosnt do it justice on dvd.

[saberon]

I like Avatar, but what I like even more is how it has re-introduced Sci-Fi to the big screen. As far as I'm concerned, Avatar turned Sci-Fi from "that stuff that nerds do" to "Holy fucking space-balls, Batman! This shit rocks!"

The Hobbit. Call me a communist but i never saw a Lord of the Rings movie before this one. I'd give it a solid 8.5/10!

Pitch Perfect
I heard from so many different people and some of my friends that saw it that this was a hilarious movie, so when I found this on TV I was expecting a funny play off of Glee with some good musical numbers. Now first off this is way better (in that better musical numbers, and much funnier with less idiotic love triangle drama) than anything Glee has done since season 1, however that doesn't say much.

It was enjoyable to watch with a good amount of funny moments, but it had its fair share of drowsy typical blotches that you would expect out of most rom-com type movies. Also, although I enjoyed my time, I really didn't feel like I would have missed out on anything if I never saw this movie at all, there is nothing truly memorable about this movie, except for one thing, and that's Fat Amy. Fat Amy was kind of what bumped this movie from getting a score I would give to a forgettable mediocre movie to a score to what I would give to a movie that is a good time and worth watching if you have the spare time. Nearly all of the funny moments came from her, and she was one of the more original characters of the cast.

The musical numbers were also pretty nice, yes some of them sounded a little bit unbelievable to be hearing from that set of characters, yet it wasn't nearly as unbelievable as the cast of 30 year olds playing proffessional perfect pitch 15 year olds you would see in the show it is parodying (Glee). None of them were really memorable however, meaning if somebody told me to pick a song from it that stands out I would probably shrug and have no idea because none of the numbers were.

Overall, I am trying to be nice on this movie because I have just seen and re-watched many of my favorite movies of 2012 so it's obvious this wouldn't live up to them, and I found I actually did enjoy it quite a bit, but not enough to where I would recommend it for anything other than renting it for a cheap date night movie or watching it on TV when you are bored and need something to do. Yet since I did enjoy the movie to an extent I will give it a, 6.3/10

Just watched Zero Dark Thirty, 9.5/10. Spectacular movie, didn't glorify the whole 'Merica we killed Osama angle. Really enjoyed it and I'm loving the influx of releases of dvd screeners for award season ect.

[Amiright]

Watched Premium Rush last night, Usually a huge fan of Joshua Levitt Gordon, but that movies was the biggest piece of hipster crap I have ever seen. Seriously a 1/10, I'm not even sure how i finished it.

I should have known what i was getting into when they started talking about "fixies".

Avatar deserving an Oscar for best picture? It would have been an intellectual crime if it had won, considering that the story was severly lacking in substance with its very simplistic plot of good vs. evil with an environmental message done by pretty much every film ever done about the subject.

The only reason it can be passable as a decent movie is because of the production value that was done by very competent people who knew how to sell this old story concept. The technical aspects of the movie are undeniably impressive, but I do not consider the visuals to ooze creativity or them to be anything that surpass other movies inside or even outside its genre.

Avatar always reminded me of Nagrand and Zangarmarsh. It is striking how similar Outlands is to scenes in the film; it is also interesting that the film's concept art was developed between 2005 and 2007, while BC was launched Jan 2007. Not to mention the similarities between the Na'vi and Draenei...I'd imagine that the film was influenced at least somewhat by the expansion's art design, although there is no real way to prove that.

Just watched Django Unchained, holy shit is it a good movie, breath of fresh air seeing as most of the movies I watched in 2012 were full of CGI shit. Wow, definitely 10/10, honestly nothing bad to say about it, and Christopher Waltz is so fucking good in it, same with Jamie Foxx.

Django Unchained 8/10

Django unchained has been watched , while its a good film its still not one of Tarantino's best. Worth a watch and a good western, if you like westerns and violence watch it.

[faraway14]

Argo - fantastic thriller, highly recommended! 8.5/10

[-Zait-]

Django Unchained, 10/10

Loved that movie so so much.

[Quetzl]

Jack Reacher, 4/10. Meh acting, plot was pretty bad/overly complex. It's based on a book, and I feel like they tried to fit too much into the movie. Random stuff happening all over the place

[Slavrick]

Lawless, 7/10
Was pretty good, aside from Labeouf, he seemed out of place to me.

[Sobedesce]

Wreck-it Ralph
7.5/10
The movie was great up untill he got to Sugar Rush, then it just became your standard Disney movie. Still the animatons are really well done and the nostalgia on certain parts alone make it worth it. The voice cast is top notch, as always.

500 Days of Summer
9/10

What can I say? Definately the best movie I've ever seen based on a setup of a boy and a girl falling in love with each other (even tho that was not actually the case in this movie but you get my point), just such a beatiful movie, and really sad too in a way. The acting by Zooey and Joseph is nothing but spectacular, and you can really see that they are good friends in real life as they just click perfectly in the movie. That's why it's so easy to connect with the character of Gordon-Lewitt and that being said, the movie is one hell of a rollercoaster of different feelings and emotions. The movie was really refreshing in the genre filled with generic, non-interesting movies that really give you nothing back. I wasn't actually expecting that much from the movie, but it completely blew me away with it's overall execution and beauty. The soundtrack was one of the best movie soundtracks I've heard in a while, including artists like The Smiths and Temper Trap.

Skyfall
7/10
Good entertaining movie, nothing extremely rememberable imo though. A pretty good bond movie.

[Kerdoz]

Jurassic Park 3. 1/10

First time I've seen it actually.. It was horrible. I want to kill it with fire
