Mockingjay: Part 1 is pretty underrated here. I think people use the split book excuse to overlook some its more interesting themes.

 

Mockingjay may have some interesting themes and some good acting, but it suffers from being the first part of a two part saga, and is rather slow.

To me MJ1 was easily the worst. So forgettable. Captain America: The Winter Soldier was easily my favorite.

The only thing I remember from Sniper is the rubber baby and the super telegraphed ending. At least Mockingjay had Hanging Tree, the ending sequence, and some good performances

Cooper's performance was far better than any performance in MJ1.

You mean how it ended in real life?

Probably, but Cooper's performance is super overrated here. He's pretty by-the-numbers in Sniper. SLP is still his best acting yet. At least MJ1 has PSH and J-Law delivering good as usual.

 

However, I do think they're both mediocre films so... eh

[Blankments]

You mean how it ended in real life?

It ended in real life with a super shady looking guy staring at Chris Kyle's wife and then the wife looking worried while Chris Kyle doesn't notice anything weird going on?

 

If so, wow, Chris Kyle did live an interesting life.

So you are saying the ending scene was telegraphed by the ending scene? That is a new one.

American Sniper >  Mockingjay

 

The Legend > Katniss

 

Guns > Bows

 

R > PG-13

Telegraphed probably wasn't the right word. Maybe "the ending hit you over the head ridiculously with no subtlety whatsoever."

 

I don't really want to argue much about Sniper. If you liked it, that's fine. I just can't personally fathom how someone can hate Mockingjay Part 1 (which is the worst of the THG franchise so far, but still pretty good) and love American Sniper.

Well AS wasnt boring unlike MJ1 so thats a start.

AS was probably the second most boring BP nominee. I was much more awake during Mockingjay at least

AS is an average film, its only Americans that think its great

Let's just get through this week folks. Although there is a chance Cinderella bombs but I doubt it. From next week through the following several months, box-office bliss.

The Imitation Game and Theory of Everything were both worse and more boring I thought.

[DAJK]

The Imitation Game and Theory of Everything were both worse and more boring I thought.

Have to disagree. Imitation Game was amazing IMO. To be honest, there wasn't a BP nominee this year that I didn't like; I just liked them to varying degrees.

Still haven't seen Whiplash or Selma tho.

Mess.

Excuse me?

I am waiting until tomorrow to post my celebration  of Mockingjay being passed.

After the MJ1 fanatics came into the GOTG thread for some premature gloating, I feel like doing a victory dance all over that bitch. But I won't. Trolling is for trolls. They know the score.

That's its target audience though.
