Film Thread.
I thought a trio of themed threads about other entertainment media might be good. If you're not interested, please just ignore the thread and pick some threads that interest you from here: http://celephais.net/board/view_all_threads.php

Anyway, discuss films...

Man Of Steel 
Good in parts, boring in parts (indestructible characters thumping each other, yawn...). It made me want to see a version of the story that focused on his parents struggling to cope with a child with superman's powers!

Even will all the typical TV series character drama, I thought Smallville did provide the proper beginning story to the Superman character. I believe it even inspired (format / story layout wise) the BBC Merlin series, which is another favourite of mine.

I did not enjoy the Man of Suck, the story was dumb, the special effects over the top, the environment depressing and dark and I did not feel like the Superman character inspire me with any hope.

Prometheus Actually Explained (With Real Answers) - I found this and it might help people understand or not the movie more. The film sounds better after watching this video, I will have to give it another chance. I thought it was dumb but apparently I missed all the clues and did not read the special website. 
Robocop Remake Scene 27 
In Descending Order Of Rating 
3 Idiots (2009): If you skip the dancing parts it is a funny and "deep" indian movie about some guys in university. I liked it a lot.

The Wolverine (2013): I liked it! Great work with music.

Big Night (1996): Pretty random but feel-good movie. Don't watch on an empty stomach.

PS: Still nothing about Prisoners? Watch it! 
Lol Its Hardly Deep 
but I agree that its one of the few recent hindi movies worth watching.

Also agree re music in Wolverine, didnt like movie overall but its not bad and the midway action scene + music was fantastic. 
 
well, deeper than wolverine for sure! 
 
Elysium was interesting.. but the villians just totally out shone Matt Damon i thought.

I'd put off seing Aeon Flux movie because i wanted to take in the MTV first. Anyway... they both blew me away :). Hard pressed to say which was better.

Captain Phillips 
A mostly feel-good dramedy about the bumbling, bungling antics of a bunch of down-on-their-luck Somalian pirates who end up biting off more than they can chew with the attempted hijacking of a large US container ship.

Heavy on the slapstick, it's written as a sidequel/sequel to both Forrest Gump and Castaway, and I enjoyed it thoroughly, especially the heartwarming "Aww shucks, see we can all get along!" ending.

Three stars. 
 
Huh, I did get quite a different feeling from it. It was grim and not feel good at all. Great movie! 
 
300: Rise of an empire
Expected a silly movie but got a dumb stupid one instead. Maybe if you want to see Eva Green's tits. 4/10 
Well. 
The original 300 was dull and pointless as fuck. Yeah yeah sepia filter, yeah art style WOTEVER. Can't say I'm tempted by the new one. 
 
the moment I heard black sabbath being mixed with big a bassy orchestra for the trailer, it had casual blockbuster viewer written over it. 
Spirit 
did you the see first one? what did you expect? 
Heh 
I thought the first one was utterly mindless and silly, but Eva Green is lots of fun, even if she is getting typecast as a sexy evil witch. lol. Snyder is really hit and miss for me, but his movies tend to have great trailers.

I was just looking at all the movies coming out this year, and unless something surprises me there's really not much to look forward to until Interstellar in November. 
 
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 
The 300 Sequel Trailer 
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. 
Spirit 
fair enough, I thought the first 300 was one of the worst films I have seen. 
Sleepwalkr 
I like to not watch trailers.

nitin ok, but in itself it made sense. 
Maybe You Should Though ;-)
