I absolutely love TDK trilogy. As a whole i consider it a masterpiece. As separate films i only consider TDK as such. LOTR trilogy as a whole AND each film individually is a masterpiece.
LOTR all the way

Extended edition marathon non stop. Was an epic night back in 2004. I will try to do the hobbit extended with Lotr extended without breaks but will have to start it in the morning as I struggle to keep awake at night.

What a fantastic mid season finale. So Skye is Quake. Suspected as such for a few weeks now. Awesome. Felt sad for Tripp though. Going to be a long ass wait

The original trilogy takes 9 hours to have dwarves walk, and walk, and walk, and walk some more to drop a magical ring into some kind of volcano/firepit. On the way there they encounter dangerous creatures and treacherous weather. It has very little substance or psychological depth beyond a 6th grade level. I will admit that the series has good acting - especially from Ian McKellan, Christopher Lee, Viggo Mortensen, and Andy Serkis. They give effort 100% in their roles. But the good acting can only take you so far. Dwarves walking and walking forever and then arguing with each other repeatedly is not interesting after about 90 minutes.
Wtf dude be honest you haven't seen lotr have you? Dwarves walking lol. There is only one dwarf in the fellowship. Treacherous weather haha.

So watched it yesterday and it was great. The Hobbit trilogy is not on LOTR level but its good enough for me to stand next to it as another chapter in Middle Earth.
The battle scenes were amazing. To see the Dwarves and Elves team up to take the orcs on was just wow. Me and my friends were also very impressed with how the elves are depicted as a fighting unit. So fluid and orderly.....even if they did look like they were dancing at times lol. The scene with the elves running over the dwarves to attack the orcs looked so cool.
I enjoyed all the fight scenes. Thorin vs Azog, Legolas vs Bolg. The whole movie was just an action extravaganza. We also had our first profanity thrown out thanks to Dain (portrayed brilliantly by Billy Connelly, well.... voiced by him anyway).
Thranduil is probably my favourite elf now. His portrayal is just spot on. Gives you a different take on elves and i loved it. I giggled seeing his sarcastic eye rolls when Gandalf is giving him a lecture. lol brilliantly done.
Perhaps my favourite scene though was Galadriel vs Sauron! Holy shit! Dont ever fuck with that woman. Saruman and Elrond kicked ass too. Though i wished the whole scene lasted abit longer.
Wont go into too much detail but i do wish to point out the negatives quickly. I'm used to the CGI now since the first movie but there is just tooooooo much of it. Especially in places where there is no need for it. Like Dain Ironfoot. He looked CGI from head to toe! Also another negative is they veer away from the battle on the ground with the armies for so long you don't know who is actually winning. All the times they showed the battles the elves and dwarves were nearly finished in numbers. It wasnt very clear and hoping there is more to see of them in the extended editions.
Not really a con but i think the Smaug scene could have been shown in DOS. it didn't last too long and could have brought the second film to an end rather than to have left it as a cliffhanger.
This movie seemed more akin to TT/ROTK which was good to see. I didn't think i would get so emotional but when i saw Bilbo cry at Thorins death i had to control myself. Also when he is parting ways with the other dwarves and says they are welcome anytime. It was just so sad. Not just because his journey had ended but because ours had aswell.
A fitting farewell to Middle Earth. Good bye my precious.

Question for those who have seen it. Just rewatched ROTK and I caught myself looking at the whole credit sequence. Is it similar in TBotFA, with those awesome drawings like here, or is it just a black screen:
Same as ROTK

Ok so for the people who live in London. There is no HFR 3D Imax showing this time around. Last couple of years we had Swiss Cottage do it but they have told me on the phone that its a 'business decision'. Still possible to watch it in HFR on normal screens though across London.
The only option (for people who love big screens like me) is either Vue Xtreme screens or Bluewater showcase Imax.
If anyone has any experience with the BLuewater Imax screen, please let me know. I may opt for that

Interstellar is rocking it

No Sony head invited lol

Saw this last night in BFI Imax and thought it was just downright brilliant. Very slow movie though (could have been 20-30mins shorter) and a story that has a lot of technical jargon thrown around. I don't consider that a negative for the movie as a whole but i can understand why some may find it to be so.
The acting was great from pretty much everyone. Young Murphy surprised me. Only gripe is that i struggled to understand Matthew Mcconaughey in alot of the scenes. He is not very loud or clear. It was like Ken Watanabe allover again lol.
The visuals were breathtaking in true Imax. Probably the best scenes ever filmed with an Imax camera for me. The first wormhole sequence was incredible as was the docking scene to stabilize the damaged station. That scene had me on the edge of the seat. The tidal wave though was probably the cream. Amazing all round.
The music is the best from Hans Zimmer since Inception. I love the Dark Knight trilogy ost but its pretty similar to Gladiator, The Rock and POTC. Which were also great but it was nice to see something very different. Beautiful themes full of emotion and dread. Really captured the emptiness of space.
The last act at first depressed me because i thought oh shit its going into make belief territory now...but then it all made sense. Everything came full circle. Nolan put in all sorts of scientific theories in there and melded them together to create something fascinating.
At no time did i feel like crying but i definitely felt sad in alot of parts. Obviously the father/daughter scenes, Cooper watching the recorded messages after 23 years( well...3 hours) and also Matt Damon waking up from cryo. I don't understand the hate for him as i thought him waking up and immediately crying was perfect. He went to sleep with no hope of ever seeing anyone ever again millions of light years away from earth. I also felt there was something not right when Tars asked if he could have a look at his robot and Damon goes nah leave it. Had a hunch there was something sinister afoot with his character from there.
Editing was fine but sound was abit off in some places. I dont know if t was just in Imax but in the scenes with Murph and Cooper in her bedroom there was a loud humming sound in the background. Don't know if that was the Imax projector or what. But it was pretty distracting. Also the speech at times was not very clear. Too much background noise.
Script was good except for 2 places where me and my mate said that is 'cheese' to each other. Hathaways love monologue and some of Damons dialogue.
TARS was fucking brilliant. lol had the whole theatre laughing with his witty quips.
Finally i would like to say that i found some scientific explanations go over my head as they were spoken of too fast and not explained in detail BUT i would just wait for them to show me the practical side of it in the following scenes and i would get what they were talking about. I understood a lot of the theories as i'm a big sci fi fan but i still thought maybe they could have dropped the science jargon at times and used laymen terms instead.
I have a few questions but im hoping to understand them when i watch it at home...with subtitles!
To sum it up an amazing piece of art from Nolan. This movie for me cements him as the BEST current director working in Hollywood today. What an imagination.

brilliant numbers for Interstellar. Going to finally watch it tomorrow and this sure helps

Pretty stupid and far fetched movie but i enjoyed it at times. That last bit of her falling backwards through time to the big bang was pretty good but a very very strange movie with no real outcome or point to the journey.

Give me a break, people insult others in this forum all the time with bad insults and mocking gifs or whatever and it doesn't get any further . Yet my opinion of the people that cried over this piece of trash stings and creates emotions . About this movie, because of its success and the "drama" it creates ,yes my opinion is extremely strong , this is a movie for hollow people to cry over because it doesn't deserve crying over .
"missing", "kill the messenger" , "state of siege" .....even mainstream stuff like "the mask" and "the perfect storm " have waaaaayyyyy better stories and reasons to cry over something , to feel something . Titanic is a cynical movie that was calculated way before release , to make women cry and drag their husbands/boyfriends e.t.c with them . This was the end of Cameron as a director for me, since avatar follows a similar formula in a different genre .
Oh and why should I feel empathy for people on a forum about movies, does anyone have cancer or something ? Hell it wouldn't be an issue if Baumer didn't bring it in his pseudo insulting reply . (about me being more of a man blahblablah )
How many times have people that like something like transformers been mocked in this forum and not just them but anybody who likes these movies ? Do I really need to start searching posts ? Yet titanic is this masterpiece that we must all bow to and keep silent about its audience and esp. those who cry over that piece of crap ?
The husbands/boyfriends cried too

F . Horrible movie that not only is it awful by itself but gets extra negative points because it took away a great action movie director, James Cameron . The romance is laughable, dicaprio looks like winslet's son not a guy that could win a woman from a young billy Zane . This was the worst successful movie ever until the twilight movies arrived . It does look good , I'll give it that but that's it . The story, characters e.t c are atrocious and that song makes me wish I could kill Celine dion every time I listen to it on the radio . That fact that audiences cried over this show how hollow they are , go see "the missing " and watch jack Lemmon searching for his son in a stadium full of murdered people or "the messenger has to die" , if you want to cry for a reason .

Gone Girl (2014)
in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)
Posted
This movie was crazy! Rosamund Pike killed it. Just before the reveal of her being alive and well i started to suspect that there was more to this. Good film all round. I would have loved to see her get caught but oh well.
