Agreed about 'Once Upon a Time in the West'
Marvellous film.
I used to love 'A Fistful of Dollars' , but a recent viewing, I found it a bit on the dull side! I think 'For a Few Dollars More' is better!
Actually I think ' A Fistful of Dynamite' gets overlooked in all this. Always find that entertaining!
I disagree about LMS, however I do consider it underrated. The first review I read about it said western and hardboiled crime fiction don't mix, which is both patently false and unfair to the film.
+ 1
It didn't need it, but boy am I happy with the result! T2 long held the status of most impressive action film of the '90s for me.
No. I don't think so. It's a film I appreciated more than I loved. And I think you have to have a balance of both of those emotions in order to even enter the "masterpiece" discussion.
I agree with this. Bruce Wayne needs a break.
I couldn't disagree more.
I think it would be nice to have Bruce/Batman talk and relationships with others, more positively than what Zack and company did. The best way to start a new Batman is to give him someone who can work up close with him and help both of them grow as characters. No Batman & Robin style whining, or Batman v Superman straight to fighting. Find a unique way. If WB and DC are planning on hyping up Batman’s 85th anniversary next year, we might have a new Batman and Robin by the end of the year. We’ll probably get a new Talia with this story. She does deserve a new story, with a more fleshed out role. Other villains (other than The Joker) will probably be a surprise.
Funny thing is I think Stallone could have pulled that off if he didn’t have aspirations of making it into a series of films. He already had ROCKY as a sure fire series, so I dunno why he thought he needed another film series in his pocket.
I guess that all built up to 1985 delivering his most overt American movies with Rocky defeating a Russian in the ring, and then Rambo killing both hundreds of Viet Cong and Russians at the same time.
Each film excels in their differing styles, just like the first Alien film and its sequel, Aliens. Those two films are outstanding and it's up to each individual viewer to decide which they prefer. It's the same with The Terminator and T2. Me, I love Aliens and T2 more than the first films respectively, because they build upon the strong foundation of the first ones. They flesh out the world. I don't ever feel that the soul of it was lost from the first ones, quite the opposite.
In an ideal world, the films would have stopped at 2. We did not need anything that came after.
Completely agreed. Although I love the Sarah Connor Chronicles.
I still think the first Terminator needed no sequel. The ending was so perfect. Edward Furlong as John Connor annoys me to no end.
Furlong was cute in some scenes, and a little less in others (particularly when his voice broke, which, of course, is not the lad's fault.) Still, I like him ten times better than Nick Stahl and way more than the actor that looked like Christian Bale but wasn't Christian Bale (*), and also way more than Jason Clarke. I guess I like Thomas Dekker in the role though.
(*) I think an older model cyborg pretended to be Bale, a usually very good actor but somehow not quite as good in Salvation.
Sad but true.
I love em both! An incredibly powerful novel but an also bloody good film.
I think Stallone is terrific in it. Great location work and that stupendous score from Jerry Goldsmith!
Loved it on the big screen in 1982. An amazing year for top notch cinema.
I hear ye mate! 1982 was a great year for movies, 'Blade Runner' 'The Thing' 'Tron' among others. And I love 'First Blood' Great big screen experiences!
Back then I was a regular cinema goer, cant remember the last time I went!
I still think a more faithful adaptation of the novel would be great.
I agree with some of your picks. Billy Madison and Anger Management are two of my favorites. I’m not a fan of when he works with director Dennis Dugan. That guy gives me the creeps. Watch the behind the scenes of his movies, and see how he treats kids, on screen and off.
Yep me too. I used to go at least once a week. The last time I went cinema was NTTD...
