Alkaline Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 My highlight of the film was the intense compulsion to vomit I got from the scene where Spiderman is coming to fight venom; he pauses on a rooftop with a huge American flag flying behind him. The dancing scene was also one of the most bizarre things in modern cinema. It left me feeling distinctly uncomfortable, in the worst way possible.I'm glad I didn't pay to watch it. I'd hate myself even more if I had.Yeah, i'm glad i didn't pay (well i did kinda but i have a Cineworld card) to see it either. I have no real inclination to see a 4th one now either.

Lemonade Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I thought Spiderman 3 was alright, not as good as the first two, but not terrible by any stretch. The Sandman was a shit baddie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Spidey 3 was passable - just. The teatment of all 3 bad guys was terrible, especially Venom. And Harry's just a nob, nothing like Hobgoblin at all...Any idea who the villians are for Spidey 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just a flag!We have one too, flying from plenty of buildings in this country...It makes me laugh, that you'd sit through a film you obviously didn't enjoy, and then moan about it! afterwards, Your response would seem to indicate that you are blatantly anti-American??Ah well, each to his own.....

Bigsby Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 You you thought that was good? o_Omaybe he's an Emo and enjoyed Peter Parker's transformation.Spiderman 3 is one of the worst films i've ever seen. Only Alien Vs Predator is worse in my opinion. I'm assuming you haven't seen AvP: Requiem, which was worse than the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may watch it on TV at some point but i'll not be going out of my way to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Jo-D Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 watched Space Chimps with my neice's last night, I thought it was quite funny for a kids movie and the girls liked it, so thumbs up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 There was all that cheesy stuff in the first one as well, after 9/11, "We're noo yawkers, you take on one of us, you take on all of us" etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Watched 'Funny Games (US)' on Film 4 last night.........then got up to check the door was locked!!! Not opening it to anyone in white gloves, not even Mickey Mouse (actually...especially Mickey Mouse!).Probably going to see 'Defiance' this weekend.

Lemonade Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I watched From London To Brighton last night, it was gritty and hard going (peados, 11 year old prostitutes, women getting beat up, guns, gangsters etc.) but an excellent watch.

Monster Zero Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Eden Lake. Pretty effective but a couple of really disturbing moments that were totally unecessary and seemed there purely to up the shock value.X Men Last Stand. Better than I remembered.I would also like to say that Spiderman 3 must be one of the most disappointing films I have ever seen. When that dance scene happened I seriously wanted to throw something through the telly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I watched Slumdog Millionaire last night. Wonderful film! The soundtrack really accompanies the film well, and very well acted and scripted. Funnier than the "comedy" Role Models the other night too.

Scorge Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Finally got round to seeing The Wrestler last night, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Mickey Rourke's part isn't exactly open brain surgery, but he played it well. Credit also to the fly-on-the-wall way it was shot, and the fact it didn't go for the happy ending, thank god.Marissa Tomei = Frost/Nixon next.

Alkaline Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I've watched quite a few films that i haven't seen before over the past week:Talladega Nights- Quite funny in places but largely due to its ridiculous nature. Some of the one-liners are particularly good. I still don't get the mass appeal with Will Ferrell though. D.O.A (Dead Or Alive)- Quite possibly one of the dumbest films i've ever watched but by christ Holly Valance, Sarah Carter, Natassia Malthe and Devon Aoki look amazing in it. Shit premise, shit dialogue but entertaining as a no brainer none-the-less. Some of the martial arts scenes are quite impressive as well.Garfield- Absolute shit but thankfully very short.My Bloody Valentine 3D- I actually really enjoyed this. The acting was pretty rubbish but the 3D element was quite stunning and the film subject matter and delivery was suitably gory and sick enough to keep my interest. By no means a classic Horror film but miles better than the last 3D film i saw (Scar 3D). You can't really go wrong with 3D full-frontal nudity either I think i'm seeing one of either 7 Pounds, Role Models, Underworld: Rise Of The Lycans or The Wrestler this week at the cinema and i'll probably be watching a few films on TV as well.

Bigsby Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Watched Seven Pounds last night, pretty good. Can't remember seeing a bad Will Smith film actually.(I haven't seen Wild Wild West and, yes, I enjoyed I Am Legend.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Jo-D Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 watched a few at the weekend...The Curious Case of BB - really quite good film, weird like, didn't reaslise he was turning that much into a baby!Murder Party - Started off thinking it was an 80's B horror by the way it was set and the manner of the acting, then when I saw laptop's, mobiles etc and how new looking they were, realised it was slightly newer. By comdey blood bath, rather amusing!Seven Pounds - slightly sad touching film, kind guessed what was happening, butwas sad/happy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Watched Pineapple Express at the weekend. It was good but not as good as Superbad or Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Think it would've been better without the massive war at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTickingTime-Bomb Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I enjoyed I Am Legend.Nooooooooooooooo!The worst CGI I have seen in a long time.Why did they call it "I Am Legend" when they basically raped the book and left it for dead without even including the titular phrase or any of the books key concepts?They should have just called it "Generic Sub-Standard CGI/Will Smith Project"(See: Wild Wild West, Men in Black, Men in Black 2, Independence Day, Hancock, I, Robot etc).
