I get that people hate the superhero movies but I honestly don't understand the hate on Oz. That movie was simply charming; I wish they made more movies like it

 

Oz was good if you only watched it once in your entire life. With repeat viewings, it gets considerably worse.

That's a bad thing?

Yes that was a reason everything kept bombing. How do you expect a successful weekend when you release 4-5 movies and all are R? All the 2012 shootings, especially Newtown in December, didnt help either. Who thought it was smart back then to keep a movie titled "Bullet to the Head"?

I hear Prisoners was a good movie, hopefully it will come on Netflix next year.

Prisoners' script didn't do much for me, but it does include career-best performances for both Gyllenhaal and Jackman, making it really fantastic. Also, the cinematography is gorgeous

I saw the last 40 minutes on Starz the other day, and I liked it just as much as I did the first time I saw it :P

 

The ending is fine. It's already in the action and stuff, but watching the entire story slowly unfolding when you know everything is plain boring. And that's the movies problem - It needs quite some time to do that.

I thought you were talking about quality. Never mind.

Part of the reason I look back fondly on Oz was because I saw immediately after just failing at the chance to go the National Tournament for Speech, and I needed something to get my mind after sobbing at my own failure the whole bus ride home so my duo partner and I saw it and it cheered us both up. If I saw it at a different time, I probably wouldn't be so fond of it, but as it is, I loved it because it was excellent escapism at the perfect time.

Sometimes the experience of watch a movie or the reason you are seeing a movie can really help to form your opinion of a movie.
