Agreed. It's a bad remake of the mediocre film that is Titanic.
Its been said its a remake of 'Dances With Wolves',
Hence some wag calling it 'Dances With Smurfs'
Now wait until I get started on Christopher Nolan...it won't be much more friendly than my take on Cameron.
Like I said before: had either of those two bombed, James Cameron would be the modern day Michael Cimino. Mean people who want everything their own way, no one would want to put up with their egos, because life’s too short. Here’s a controversial opinion: Michael Cimino deserved another chance at directing his own style (with major supervision from others of course).
Ah mate!!!
I think he did great work on the 2 Terminator movies, and Aliens. But the action in True Lies, The Abyss, and Avatar is distinctly lacking in thrills!
Sorry mate but the action in True Lies is fantastic! The stunt on the destroyed bridge and the Harrier Jump jet climax are action cinema at it's finest!
I also love The Abyss. Sentimental in parts but an incredibly ambitious and spectacular project.
I also think Avatar is amazing... 😁
Never seen Titanic so I can't say anything about that film, but I never understood the praise Avatar got. It truly baffled me.
A mate of mine compared Avatar to Pocahontas – in space.
The Abyss isn't an action film, anyway. But the sequences of action that it does have are wonderfully creative and tense.
Avatar? Yeah, not great. I remember being wowed by the 3D in the theatres but utterly bored by it when I watched it at home. Doesn't really have the same effect without the immersion.
Always thought the action looked cheap in True Lies.
Strange Days a terrible screenplay..?
The CGI effects don't remotely hold up, IMO, though Still, if it happens to be on the tube I'll watch a few minutes. Reminds me of my youth for some reason.
Sometime I should revisit the Terminator movies. I haven't seen T2 since it was released.
Oh yeah, a very disappointing film. I was in a cinema when that teaser trailer with Ralph Fiennes' character played and it had me intrigued and stoked at the possibilities. Great cast and behind the camera talent. It had so much promise of a techno thriller that really fit the times, leading to the turn of the century we were anticipating. It only played in my town for a week so I didn't see it until it came to video or cable, but what a let down it was after all the anticipation.
Fiennes' Lenny Nero seemed like such a cool character and he turns out a sleazy, cowardly sort. Tom Sizemore and Juliette Lewis played their usual types and it tried to capture what was then making headlines with a dissatisfying ending. I've heard it has become something of a cult film and would actually watch it again just to see if I felt any differently, but that first viewing really makes me hesitant.
I watched it at least three times in the cinema and loved it every time.
However, I would never watch it at home because I'm sure it would suddenly look like a computer game on my much smaller screen and without 3D.
Avatar is overrated and so is Titanic. I did enjoy the former, at least technically, but it's Dance with Wolves in space (DWW is another overrated movie, come to think of it.) I'll give something to Cameron though : he knows exactly how to find his public. He might be even better than Spielberg in that regard.
1. Jaws should of been a longer franchise similar to Friday the 13th Nightmare on elm street and Halloween and the fact that so many people accept those franchises and not this one annoys the hell out of me
2. The A-team needed a sequel
3. While I am enjoying the reboot of Macgyver on TV Mac should of made the jump to the big screen in the 90's
4. Catwoman and Joker never should of existed as films
5. Die hard films only work when the story is stolen from another source (1 was a novel sequel to the Detective, 2 was an unrelated novel, 3 was a Leathel weapon reject script, even 4 was something else originally) Die hard 5 was the only film that started as a die hard film and it SUCKS
6. there should be more Batman films
7. Captain America The Winter Solider was the best Marvel film period
8. they should of continued on the curse of thorn plot in H20
9. Beverly Hills Cop 4 should of happened
10. of all the die hard ripoffs that deserve a franchise all its own Sudden Death is that die hard rip off
Love this.
1. Fair that it's annoying that the Friday the 13th and Halloween franchises are more accepted than a would-be Jaws franchise. If they successfully reignited the Halloween franchise in the last couple of years, it would be interesting to try and do it with Jaws too. Too many modern shark movies though, I suppose.
4. I liked Joker, never saw Catwoman, so 50/50 for me.
5. lol love this if true, Die Hard 5 did suck hard.
6. lol why not
7. I can't remember all 4,000 MCU films but I generally accept that the Captain America ones are the best ones, so I'll agree with you here.
Yep, at least they tried, not overexposing someone and something pass their prime.
SUPERMAN II (1981)
I actually LOVE the cellophane \S/. I think it's bad-ass.
I always understood that the cellophane S was not an inherent power of Superman or his suit, but something triggered by and in the Forest of Solitude.
Probably the same with some of those other powers he seems to only have in the Fortress of Solitude. That disappearing/re-appearing illusion gimmick he does: "Wrong again, Zod!!"
It was humorous, but it also showed that Richard Lester (or barely the Salkinds for that matter) didn't really know much about Superman.
Here's a new one relating to Superman:
Metallo should have been one of the main villains (along with Lex Luthor) in Superman Returns, he would have given us more action that SR was lacking.
Brainiac should have been the main villain in Man of Steel. He could have still been played by Michael Shannon, but it make the movie feel more fresh, not just a rehash of Superman 1 & 2.
I quite agree!
Brainiac as the main villain in MAN OF STEEL would have worked well.
Yes, it always seemed to me that they were Kryptonian boobytraps, meant to defend the owner of the place against intruders.
@MaxCasino Brainiac should have been the villain of Superman 3.
I wonder how Brainiac would have looked in Superman III? Would they follow the Curt Swan imagery or give him a make over? Brando for instance didn't follow the Curt Swan image of Jor-El with that green costume topped by a sun logo on the chest.
I'd say the same for Hackman's Lex Luther. I remember Luther wearing a purple/green costume in those comics.
I think they would have gone for a different aesthetic, akin to the one in first two movies. A Brainiac with crystals on his clothes/body? I wonder who would have played him.
