the first one was stylish cool fun. the second one was idiotic. the fights were boring and annoying with their fast-slow-fast-slowmo. in the first one the world made sense, I could believe the power of the spartans. I could not believe the turbine afterburner motorboat warfare in the new one. and that setup was just not as fun as the man to man combat in the first. 

Not interested in Sin City 2? 

i'm looking forward to it, i really liked sin city 1. although that phantom movie thing whatever it was called was a pos 

If you look forward to Sin City 2 (I DO!) mute your speakers before watching the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIFqHn_Ul0M 

showed you exactly what this movie would be like, according to your description of the movie. When I saw that trailer I knew instantly that the movie would be shit. 

fair enough, I thought the first 300 was one of the worst films I have seen. 

I like to not watch trailers.

nitin ok, but in itself it made sense. 

 

You watch it and most of the time the movie is spoiled because 95% of the story is in the trailer or you don't watch it and get surprised because the movie wasn't what you expected. 

no longer watch thme except when in cinema. I tend to just read a couple of reviews that I trust and that are generally spoiler free. 

... if only because of http://www.capalert.com/capreports/sincity.htm 

Watched this after 20 hours on planes, on a crappy screen the size of a postage stamp and forgot to pause it while I went to clean my teeth. It didn't make much sense this way, BUT I'm not sure it would have made much more if I'd been awake and paying attention... 

True Detective: Awesome atmosphere, nice variety and surprises, totally recommended. Rkprcg sbe raqvat fb hafngvfslvat. Jvgu nyy gur ybbfr raqf, ab erny fbyhgvba gb gur jubyr guvat.

Snowpiercer: Weird surreal movie about society. Nothing new, lots of clichees, bad script/acting, lots of stereotypes and the same old themes any movie/story critical of "our society" has had since the middle ages... Still charming and enthralling to watch. Warning, it is very long. Too surreal for my taste. 

Perrier's Bounty: Mediocre british gangster flick with too much conflict and boredom. 

Snowpiercer had a lot of clich�s but still brought them in kind of a different way I think. It's very surreal and weird though, certainly not for everyone. I enjoyed it a quite a bit.

Grand Budapest Hotel: came in not knowing what to expect, went out feeling all fuzzy. Laughed a lot. Very cutesy/whimsical and very unique sets/cinematography. Prolly gonna watch Anderson's other ones now. 

not a fan of wes anderson myself. his movies are all highly rated and kind of art house, but all are so unmemorable and dull. nothing really happens.

fantastic mr fox is the first animated film made for senior citizens, it seems.

haven't seen grand budapest hotel but I have seen most of his others. 

Not bad, maybe a little bit "quiet" when compared to other episodes...

.. and poor Wolverine, the most unlucky guy ever: changing the future didn't work well for him :P 

Really nice movie. Gives a point of view of the story from the Evil side, with a kind of romantic flavor.. Interesting, while could be considered as a movie for teen-ager girls.. though...

Angelina Jolie is awesome there: I vote her to get an Oscar awards for this movie :) 

A nice mix in between Hunger Games and Gatacca... Yet another teen-age movie, enjoyable though.. and this was the first book only, remains two till the end..

Again, the 1st book is far away better than the movie... else it could have been 5 hours long.. :P 

New X-Men I loved, though it doesn't take much just a decent story and not fucking everything up like in x1-3. Definitely enjoyed both the new xmen movies more than any other comic book movie (avengers, ironman, spiderman, even dark knight), which I expected. It did drag a bit in the middle, but I'm glad it's not an action-scene every 5mins kind of movie *cough avengers*.

I had some pet peeves. Shadowcat suddenly having new powers and not aging in 20 years. In fact in the future no one seems to have aged much. It was also slightly frustrating that yet again, for the 5th movie in a row, Magneto is the bad guy (well the 4th movie was kind of magento but probably more Shaw). But finally we're getting Apocalypse for the next movie, although he looks like a little girl in the after credits part.

Also as much as everyone loves Wolverine, he already gets his own movie franchise so does he really need to dominate the xmen movies as well?

Anyway for the next movie I just hope they don't go back to modern day xmen. That casting was a disaster for some of them. It just means we already know who survives any xmen movie using the young cast. 

is still pretty great, and I think that the tone Singer set therein definitely paved the way for many of what I think are the best superhero movies(dark night, ironman, captain america) in differing and sometimes subtle ways. 

X-Men First Class? 

certainly not that movie was nothing but a cheesy pastiche of previous x-men movies.
