Kalo Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) you know, you have a lot of movies that I really disagree with, like a lot, but now you do have some truly great films listed too. not too bad afterall Edited February 21, 2015 by Visor shades Kalo 1
Noctis Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Really didn't like OST. Aside from Cruz and the mermaids attack scene, it's so bland and feels like a TV film.
Kalo Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 the only thing I liked about OST Sam Claflin's character and the mermaid storyline.
Avatree Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 the only thing I liked about OST Sam Claflin's character and the mermaid storyline. Sam Claflin was in Pirates 4? 1
Kalo Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Sam Claflin was in Pirates 4? for sure he was the missionary, and he looked fine and unmanscaped and I had a crush on him in it
solaris Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 On reflection I think DH1 is my number one of the series. It feels so moody and different to the rest of them. And its absolutely stunningly filmed. Still haven't caught OST yet. I actually kind of liked AWE, it was a total mess but an ambitous and entertaining one none the less. I think Pirates needs a Gore Verbinski to wring the weirdness from the material... My worry is that OST is bland without his touch. Ah well I guess I should catch it. I'm guessing Cloud Atlas will be up there on your list James? 3

solaris Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Well, that's a great compliment Fuckin people's mind is my pleasure Just their minds?
James Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 for sure he was the missionary, and he looked fine and unmanscaped and I had a crush on him in it Just re-watched this. Agree about Claflin.
solaris Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Cloud Atlas was #29. Ah OK... Need to spend a bit of time trawling through the back!
James Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) 8. Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) This is my second favourite SF of the decade so far and it the best space opera ever made. JJ Abrams manages to transform ‘Star Trek’ from a property I never had the smallest desire to watch into a cool, action packed blockbuster that gives me hope ‘Star Wars VII’ will not be as bad as the laughable first teaser and the history suggest. A big advantage is Chris Pine. It is impossible not to like the guy: firstly because he objectively is a great actor and secondly – because he is (also objectively) what Megan Fox is for women – pure eye candy. Cumberbatch’s addition only seals the deal. ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ is epic, the battle scenes are crazy and the world building is even better. Soundtrack wise, it delivers one of my most played songs of 2013: Grade: 96/100 Edited February 21, 2015 by 69 Shades of James 1

James Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 I didn't like it quite as well as the first one, but it's still amazing. I found it quite a bit better. Had a much better villain for one. Cumberbatch is awesome!
Goffe Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 <3 DH1 And Obliviate is such an amazing track!!! it's just standard Desplat, I could swear that I heard the same beat in a lot of his other works. 2
solaris Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Jjs STs are horrible. Baumer do you like any of the originals? Wrath of Khan / Search for Spock / The Voyage Home was a pretty incredible run (ST3 is super underrated)
James Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 Jjs STs are horrible. Then why do you have hopes for SW? The source material is much worse
Kalo Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Jjs STs are horrible. JJ's Star Trek's are wayy wayy way better than any other Star Trek 1
