A Christmas Carol really is the worst film he's made. It's just so soulless and dry. I remember seeing it over Thanksgiving when I was 9 with my dad and grandma, and none of us cared for it.

 

I actually kinda enjoy the 2009 version of A Christmas Carol, I'll admit.

Come on every version of A Christmas Carol should have a chase scene.  It's exactly how Dickens wrote it

That and Polar Express really put me off. Beowulf is at least pretty weird and such an awesome source to adapt to the big screen. I wish the technology was where it is now when he did that one. Not great but at least interesting.

A Christmas Carol at least has a great Silvestri score.

 

I have a Beowulf blu-ray lying around which I got from a friend of a friend who didn't need it years ago, and I popped it into the player recently. Lasted about two minutes. I couldn't believe just how wretched that thing looks. And I saw it on the biggest screen in town back in the day too and, from memory, didn't mind the visuals then.

IN general Robert Zemeckis makes good movies

I actually saw Beowulf in the cinemas. Haven't really revisit it since then, but I do remember it getting pretty brutal for technically being an animated feature. Honestly I don't think any of Zemeckis' mo-cap films were bad in theory, he was just obsessed with the format when it really wasn't that well-advanced or well-tried out yet.

Forrest Hump and BTTF are both all timers. Dude is pretty solid in my book

Almost of all Zemeckis's film have good Silvestri scores, so that's not too surprising. That's probably part of the reason why I enjoyed the film back in 2010, well that and Carrey's performance.

I will say I think Forrest Hump is my favorite typo I've ever made

[DAR]

I'll say this for Beowulf, Ray Winstone will never look that ripped.

Gitesh is sayin that Dunkirk still will do 52. he was right about 20M friday so maybe he is right again

 

 

Nolan drawing power of IMAX version is significantly higher, TDKR: 15%, interstellar: 28% and now dunkirk 24%.

 

they should name him as Father of IMAX
