What Movie Did You Just Watch

What do you guys think of the first two Superman movies?

[talonmalon333]

I forgot to mention, recently I rewatched an underrated classic from my childhood, Never Ending Story. It held up really well, might've been even better than I remembered because it's more sophisticated than most children films. I think it's especially interesting when the movie breaks, like, several walls. And those character designs and sets, man, are so creative.

I still watch that from time to time. It's easy to see why it has so many fans.

I just saw The Wolverine today. It was....pretty mediocre, to be honest. Its certainly not a bad movie like the last Wolverine movie was, but nothing about the film really ever stood out to me. I'm kind of starting to realize that Wolverine is best as a character when he interacts with the other X-Men. That's why I prefer the team-movies as opposed to these solo-ones. Honestly, the best thing I can say about this movie is that the lead-in scene to the upcoming "Days of Future Past" movie was freaking awesome, and totally got me hyped for that movie, which will hopefully be better than this one.

It's a decent movie. That said, I always preferred the book; especially the second half of it in which Bastian ends up in Fantastica and gradually gets more and more corrupted by the power and importance he wields in that world. The book also featured plenty of characters that didn't make it into the movie, such as the giant spider made up of thousands of smaller bugs or the lion who creates a desert around him wherever he goes. Good stuff.


Never saw any of the sequels, from what I heard they weren't very good.

What do you guys think of the first two Superman movies?

I thought they were great, even if Superman 1 was far too long (3 hours!) and each contained some out-there elements (likes Supey tossing a giant transparent S-shield from his chest at someone.)

Funny, I basically said that very thing a day or so ago in the Unpopular Opinions thread. That's why I've always considered Wolverine, as awesome as he is, to be highly overhyped, since IMO he works best when presented in contrast to the more 'conventional' personalities of his X-teammates. Alone Logan's shtick just gets old and repetitive very quickly.

Wow, Casino is great. It really is a perfect companion piece to Goodfellas. If you like one, you gotta check the other out.

The second one isn't all too good, it probably would have been better if they made it right after the first one. It's watchable, however. The third one's garbage, though. Don't go near that one.

I still haven't gotten around to the book yet, but probably will sooner or later.

Casino is my 2nd favorite movie from Martin Scorsese. That said, I still have yet to see Hugo, which I know is available for streaming on Netflix, so I'll be getting around to that one soon enough.

[Avaitor]

I honestly think that Hugo is my favorite Scorsese movie. It's very much worth watching.

Check out this festival. Full of goodies for both horror and metal fans alike!

If only I lived in Texas.

Born to Fight
Four Flies on Grey Velvet
Live Like a Cop Die Like a Man
The Apple
Windy City Heat
Point Blank
Apaches
Fistful of Fingers

Time to start searching.

[Silverstar]

I saw The Apple when I was a kid. Don't remember much about it now; it was a weird fantasy musical from 1980 set in the 'future' world of 1994.

Who Can Kill a Child? has been on my queue for a while now.

Isn't Born To Fight a muay thai movie?
