Letsuseournoggin Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Cool. Thanks bro. I'm not sure if you were on the other side of the fence in the other thread and then read the evidence (or my findings) but I always thought you were on my side of it the whole time. Doesn't really matter, all I remember is that there were maybe two others in that thread, who stood up to the other 20 posters who told us that were idiots for thinking what we did. And like I said, you have my respect for that. And yes, we can disagree on many other things, but there's no harm in that. I was always on your side of that thread the whole time. But I guess I was referring to other things throughout my time here and at BOM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75Live Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) I have nowhere near 50, but these are the films that I can arguable say, for me, are better, or on the same level, as TDKR (and I really like TDKR)Titanic (it was re-released so I counted it )ArgoSilver Linings PlaybookWreck-It RalphLincolnHitchcockLooperFrankenweenie Edited January 2, 2013 by 75live 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 "Deserved"? Of course. TDKR was one of the biggest let downs of the year. Those ones were some of the biggest surprises of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a sloppy film that a kindergarten student could poke holes in it. Every film on my list, even down to the not so great ones like Red dawn, are all better than the egregious TDKR. Breaking Dawn 2 is one of the ten best of the year. TDKR is just a sad imitation of what was once a great franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDKR is just a sad imitation of what was once a great franchise. Except when it comes to plot, characterization, character development and acting. Breaking Dawn 2, like every single other installment of its atrocious saga, was an absolutely awful film that failed to reach the level of competent in any measurable cinematic area, but this one, in particular, reached a level even below the previous with one of the worst, cheapest, copout plot device twists ever executed in the history of cinema since its birth with Roundhay Garden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Gary Scott Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Sorry baumer but we have differen tastse in movies which is fine. You hated my top two films of 2012 and cheronobyl was my worst of the year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDKR's plot is ridiculous. It could have and should have ended with Miranda killing Bruce when they had sex. The movie is done at that point. I could pick apart the film for pages. But there is no need. If you liked it, that's great, good for you. I didn't and I'll defend Breaking Dawn 2 till my breath runs out. It is absolutely one of the ten best of the year.

Ozymandias Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm not defending TDKR because I haven't seen it, but this thread has shown the most prominent moderator has the most hilarious taste on these forums. So much for objectivity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil in the Blank Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Guys Guys Guys. Leave Baumer alone! Yes I think most people, including myself go 'WTF IS THIS SHIT', when we see his errr unique views on cinema. How one can claim that a kindergartener could poke holes in TDKR while singing the praises of movies like Battleship is beyond my level of understanding. However ultimately film going is a subjective experience and his opinion is just as 'right' as any as ours......I'll just continue to ignore any suggestions he has on films to watch and be thankful that we have someone of his talent to keep these forums well moderated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
