LA LA LALA LA LA LA......... Zorro's back
Love Tarantino movies. Easily one of my favorites!
Avatar is probably the worst movie experience I've had. Just couldn't get what other people praised it for. Nice visuals, nothing else.
And that's a lot of LAs.
Possibly next Controversial Opinion: James Cameron is one of the most overrated directors around and has come up with very few decent movies, the number of which neither includes THE ABYSS, nor TITANIC, nor AVATAR.
I think is garbage
I love Tarrantino although The Hateful Eight was quite underwhelming. I'm glad he's done with the western genre (hardly my favourite). I really enjoyed Pulp, Jackie, Bill 1 (not 2) and Basterds. Django and Reservoir were good too.
Oh, and Alain Delon was a seriously cool chap in his younger days. Silky smooth. Plein Soleil is a really great film (although I prefer the scale of The Talented Mr. Ripley which is one of my all time favourites).
I hate it too @Birdleson. I was blessed to have not seen it at a theater.
It was excellent in the theatre and in 3d, the visual experience much poorer on a small screen.
Yeah, he was a fine Zorro too. Though that film is pretty decent I do prefer both The Mark of Zorro and The Mask of Zorro.
However, Delon’s magnificent acting abilities are used to the full in his films under JP Melville’s direction and Le samouraï is their finest hour. Definitely recommended for cinephiles.
And here I thought I was the only one who really got Gremlins 2.
yeah its pretty shit
As for AVATAR I've never act had any interest in seeing it -- in the theater, at home, 2D or otherwise. (I hate the 3D experience.)
I saw the hateful 8 recently, it’s quite slow to get started but once it kicks off it’s pretty good
;)
:D
You, sir, are the funniest member on here.
I never liked it. It's too pretentious for me.
I remember the woman I was dating at the time dragged me to it and she thought it was the greatest movie in cinema history. Maybe had we watched it in 3D I might have been dazzled? Nah. It's crap.
With FORREST GUMP, I thought it was massively overrated from the get go. I remember a friend telling me he laughed and cried throughout. I sarcastically remarked that I cried when Christopher Lee gets struck by lightening and killed at the end of SCARS OF DRACULA.
I appreciate GUMP a bit more now, though.
I also liked the Frank Langella scene for scene remake of THE MARK OF ZORRO, though Tyrone Power is probably my favorite version.
I agree, it’s terrible. I think I gave it 2/10.
@ToTheRight I’ve never seen the Langella remake. Should be my next watch by the look of it.
It's interesting as much of the dialogue is exactly the same as the 1940 film. Ricardo Montalban is great in the Basil Rathbone role. Langella really plays up the foppish side of Diego to fool the villains and his family. He gives a great performance, IMO. The only thing is he lacks a suave mustache, and looks pretty much like he did in Dracula.
While I don't share that opinion (especially since I find the entire basic premise of DH2 unbelievable), they're not that far apart in quality for me to find your view "controversial". 8/10 for the original vs 7/10 for the sequel.
DIE HARD 2 is my favorite film in the series, though the first is probably the most iconic. The 2nd one is a lot of fun and to me feels more Christmas like.
