Sam Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Last time I watched one of Tele's raves it was a freakin' tire rolling down a dusty road, killing people along the way.That explains a lot about the man really. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I enjoyed one film more than another I'm going to say it's a better film.There are films that I will acknowledge as being great films, but which I don't actually LIKE. I don't like The Graduate, at all (except for the music), but I would never deny its artistic quality.

TalismanRing Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 UTS is weird, fucked-up, beautiful, unsettling, haunting and will stick with you for quite awhile, even as you wonder what exactly you saw. UTS has a couple of memorable scenes - the beach scenes are gut wrenchingly disturbing and haunting. It made excellent use of Scarlett in her dead eyed mode. Visually it's striking but it's episodic, repetitious and often sluggishly paced - more concerned with mood and tone than story. It didn't hold together for me as a movie though it was interesting watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Shame, that's the only way that statement could make logical sense.Oh yes...I forgot were all supposed to think the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 If I had to break down the summer (having not seen a few big things and a few small things) Boyhood Snowpiercer Calvary Edge of Tomorrow How to Train Your Dragon 2 22 Jump Street Godzilla Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Life Itself Neighbors I liked Guardians as much as DOFP, maybe a little more. Neither would make my 10. But they're solid films. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) How does one determine the difference between the best film and there favorites? If I enjoyed one film more than another I'm going to say it's a better film. I'd watch Guardians of the Galaxy any day over Boyhood, I have seen it multiple times now and absolutely love it, but when it comes to actual cinematic quality Boyhood is undoubtedly better. Not to say I didn't love Boyhood personally, I just personally prefer Guardians when it comes to viewing. However I recognize Boyhood is easily the better film in many departments. Also, I forgot Snowpiercer is technically a summer film, i'll edit my lists then Favorites 1.Guardians 2.Boyhood 3.Snowpiercer 4.Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 5.Days of the Future Past Best 1.Boyhood 2.Snowpiercer 3.Guardians of the Galaxy 4.Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 5.Days of Future Past Edited August 13, 2014 by The Panda 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I've never liked Ninja Turtles actually...BUT I have noticed tons of good reactions from people my age about it. (remember the Turtles were not liked by older audiences in the 1980s even) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Tues looking likeTMNT 7.4,GOTG 6.6 So that's up 11% for TMNT and up 24% for GOTG. Great increases. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Exactly the same as my list. I would switch Snowpiercer and Edge though. But both were great. I'd give both the same grade. The ranking is really nothing. I thought both films were great indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
