Tarantino is not the right choice nor would he do it IMO ... it would have to be written by him and filmed like he wants it to
But I'd definitely anticipate a Tarantino Bond flick more than I have any other Bond
Thank god I'm not alone
I thought there was something wrong with me
I felt pretty much the same minus the acting props as I do not consider constant yelling legitimate acting
and LOL at Lawrence for winning over Riva
such a shameful win I get sick in my stomach just thinking about it
I've seen SLP and now I've seen Amour
And Jennifer Lawrence winning for playing that wacky chick who likes to yell in a ( bad ) rom com flick against the 80 something actress flawlessly capturing what my grandmother is going through right now ?

Riva should have won on the basis of just taking on a role like that at her age it must have been incredibly hard
Whoever mentions the old 'academy members are a bunch of old farts who give awards to other old farts' again ... look no further than this travesty right here to shut him up
fucking agreed
people will go see a movie if it interests them ... if economy is down and overall business is down that only means that those original and good movies will make even more as people are gonna be real picky about what they see
Indy doesn't fire a single bullet
3/10
obviously I have other reasons for disliking it ( the fridge, forcing Shia in, uninteresting storyline, horrible third act... and not good first 2 either and so on ) but I just wanted to point this out
Its a 9/10 movie for the first 2 acts
Its a 4/10 in the final one
Its a 13/20 movie
Which makes the final grade 6.5/10
Is there anyone in the world who liked the third act ? like literally ANYONE ?
I fail to see how Bad Boys 3 is gonna make a profit for the studio
Lets see
Last one was budgeted at 130 mil
Will Smith and Bay are gonna inflate the budget with their salaries so you are looking at the say 25 mil expansion on that 130 mil number just to get these two ... you add in another 5 mil boost for Lawrence who's gonna go like ' yeah I maybe need to pay the studio to be in this one for the sake of my career but what the hell as long as you're paying these guys so much give me some cheddar too! '
That's 160
Now production obviously needs to expand on the previous movie as sequels always need to be bigger ( they don't actually but Hollywood thinks they do ) ... add in the natural budget inflation over the last decade and we are looking at a minimum budget of
200 MIL!
And that's the best case scenario IMO ...
So previous movie made 270 mil ... sure that one was rated R and you can bet that studio is going to go for PG-13 this time around ... which brings us to another watered down action flick situation but still it should somewhat help BO
How is this going to recoup the money invested ... especially when you factor in Smith and Bay % deals ?
It has to gross over 600 mil to be deemed successful ... and frankly I don't know about that
I pretty much never do this but ...
revising my grade to a perfect 10
I've never questioned life and death and human soul and this movie got me to think about all that ... since that's pretty monumental stuff I think its fair to give this movie a flawless mark and rank it up there with the greatest films of all time for me
Everything I said still stands ...its just amplified now
I was kinda on the fence how to start my major write up ... and then as usual I realized I don't need it I'll just keep it brief
Forgive me for this but this just may be the biggest conformist film I ever saw
There's no acting there's only yelling ... but because lines are being yelled out by young and hot actors its considered good acting apparently
Its no different than your regular rom com ... except that its worse cause it tries so hard to be this quasi serious film but to me it only ends up with some white american problems that only they can relate to
In the end this takes the crown for the most overrated film of 2012
4/10
Then you clearly misunderstood Dredd ... character is not only older than Rambo he's also nothing like him
Rambo is a very emotion-driven character while Dredd is most certainly not
Like I mentioned somewhere in this thread Dredd is a cross between these characters
Dirty Harry, Robocop and Terminator
