MovieMan89 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 It was voted thusly at the Vegas convention, which just goes to show how myopically idiotic the collective diehard Trek fan base is (and I say that as someone who's mostly a diehard). That's what I was thinking of. STID was underwhelming, but I've seen several worse Trek films. The original for starters. Then again, '09 is the only one I've really liked.

MrPink Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) I don't know about Lone Ranger but the Wolverine Bullet Train sequence is the best action scene of 2013 to date. This might be true if the neverending runway scene in Fast 6 didn't exist. The Rock clotheslined a motherfucker to death.

Michael Gary Scott Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Also, that LR train sequence is better than anything in CF.One of the best scenes of the year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I don't know about Lone Ranger but the Wolverine Bullet Train sequence is the best action scene of 2013 to date.I haven't seen WOLVERINE yet but I'm pretty confident in saying that the LR train sequence is the best action scene of 2013. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 The FAST 6 runway scene is definitely the most cheerfully absurd.... although LR is a challenger there as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Best action sequence of 2013 was the giant robot dragging a submarine through Hong Kong and smashing a Godzilla monster with it.I don't know what any of those stuff are called though because let's just say when I watched pacific rim my brain was only capable of processing the giant monsters fighting giant robots 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to see the Lone Ranger, but I intend to check it out sometime. Gore Verbinski knows how to make a fun action sequence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 If you wanna count the debris scenes in Gravity as action scenes, I'd rate them pretty highly too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 The rest of the film is almost total shit, though. why you do this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 If you wanna count the debris scenes in Gravity as action scenes, I'd rate them pretty highly too.Oh yeah, those are great, but my favorite is still giant robot smacking Godzilla in the face with a submarine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxOfficeFangrl Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Harry Potter has a better developed world, characters and plot; but Harry is the least interesting character to me in the series. On the contrary, Katniss is the most interesting character in her series. That's the basic problem of condensing the movies down to being all about Harry. I don't fault the movies for not all being 4-5 hours long but Rowling for creating a world around such an ultimately blah protagonist who's led around by the nose and constantly saved by smarter/more dynamic characters. It would be different if he weren't the freaking title character for every single book. Maybe that won't be a problem with the Fantastic Beasts movie, which BTW seems like a big underwhelmer waiting to happen. They really should've done a Quidditch movie.

Very little of that comes across in the movies. What're interesting little rasps of character flaws get sanded down into their more generic lump. Add that to the fact he's a very reactive character, for the most part, and you end up with a lead who's essentially more of a symbol than anything else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
