.... only winner will be the one who have the mask and leather.. :P...
In fact, I really don't know, because I don't practice this kind of Yet another comic -> movie destined to suck :\
What (recent) movies like this are you referring to? I guess you mean Catwoman, although it doesn't really count as its not even selina kyle and has fuck all to do with the batman/catwoman ethos. Punisher? It was OK, but I wouldn't say it sucked. Wait for the next batman movie. My hopes on that being good are fading by the minute. :( why? there's too much talent behind batman begins for it to suck. But I guess stranger things have happened.
And I read somewhere that Jack BLack was playing Aquaman. I thought the footage/shots of the new Batman looked really nice actually. Not that they provide a lot to go on, but the new batmobile is buff.
Looks like pretentious, over-done-dreamy-effect action crap. And too many stars. But y'never know, either way I don't really have high hopes for it.
I couldn't resist Angeline Jolie if I wanted too. That outfit makes it an even more difficult task.
confusing plot, stupid dialog, robotic acting, pretentious cinematagraphy, all those I give a big so what. For the cost of mere ticket, I get a reason to live! Just look at the fucking name of the movie!!
It sounds like a fake movie from the Simpsons starring Troy McClure as the Sky Captain. And when are they going to make a Lobo movie?
Movie? Why haven't they made a Lobo game yet? Space motorbikes, gratuitous violence, and a character that looks like Rob Zombie on steroids: it's a franchise just begging to pander to the power fantasies of the pimple-eyed. "Universal Pictures has hired Polish director Andrzej Bartkowiak ("Cradle 2 the Grave") in a pay-or-play pact to helm the studio's upcoming vidgame adaptation, "Doom." He replaces the film's original director, Enda McCallion, who the studio said is bowing out due to personal reasons...
A former cinematographer on pics like "Lethal Weapon 4" and "Thirteen Days," Bartkowiak's recent helming credits include "Exit Wounds" and "Romeo Must Die." I saw Lethal Weapon 4, but none of the others, so I can't say if I'm excited or not. I hope they don't seriously screw it up like Resident Evil though.
On a slightly different-but-related topic, anyone have any info on the Silent Hill movie? I heard the Resident Evil director was doing that movie too, which really worries me. Well, looking at Bartkowiak's directing credits, he just sounds like another alumni from the Paul W S Anderson School of Shit Action Films. I think he majored in "101 ways to fuck up an action scene by trying to make it look like a bad parody of The Matrix".
Can't say I'm totally shocked; it's not as if film studios hold video games in very high regard. After seeing Exit Wounds, Romeo Must die and Cradle 2 the Grave, I wish the process seen in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was possible.
In other news, everyone's favorite level (that being me) just recently (that being yesterday) saw that one movie called I, Robot, and for some strange reason enjoyed it quite a lot. Was able to turn my brain off, and it was indeed rather nice. The action was good, the sets were nice, and there was nothing too stupid. The artsy person inside me wished that the movie had concentrated more on Sonny. Would've been more like Asimov's short stories. Then again, I was expecting an action movie, and I got what I wished for. And the three laws are perfect? Ummm, say again? it's really just a bunch of beautiful images stuck together, but when they look this good, they hold your attention. Well worth watching.
sheer brilliance.
Mesmerising stuff from start to finish, the animation's a sight to behold and the film is like a cross between a Tim Burton work and a Hayao Miyazaki film. at the Oscars. All of the other nominated tunes bored me pissless; it at least had a beat and some umph. The worst set of music they have had since Celine Dion won it for the Titanic theme and a big let down from the previous year when Dylan won for the Wonderboys. Brrrr
Anyway. I had that freakin ToB tune and accompanying visuals stuck in my head for a week after that. I'm sure if I watch the movie it would get stuck there again. Please tell me the movie is worth enduring that. was pretty good. Mostly lighthearted and comedic, but became abruptly serious when the mobster killed one of the bicyclists, which completely took me out of the movie. Everything else went well together except that one scene imo. Plus there were animated boobies.
Beautiful to look at, but just wasn't as clever and consistent in its writing as it thought it was. As a result the visuals and the main theme were the only things keeping me going.
Seen it a couple times actually...
a treat to watch, but as a consistent storyline yawn...more focus on the travels of the triplets themselves and less on the biker would of made for a more interesting watch. That is not to say there weren't some great parts. I not feel bad recommending it to be watched. Just don't go buy the DVD yeah, I was a bit surprised at that moment too. I was waiting for them to show that the goon fired the shot at something else.
It's definitely uneven, but even when it was dawdling, I found it strangely entertaining and enjoyable. Had a few good moments, but other than that it was pretty bad. Noticably worse than the 1st installment (AND they are making a 3rd).
