Yeah, I'm super confident about the BP film. Coogler knows what he's doing and even moreso as he considers it to be his most personal project that he's ever worked on.
As a side note Coogler, a couple years back won the Dana and Albert Broccoli Award for Filmmaking Excellence.
The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)
What a movie. Flat out action from start to finish. Some of the most impressive action scenes I've seen on the big screen are from this film - specifically the Waterloo Station sequence and the Tangiers chase. It took several years (The Raid in 2012) for an action film to really wow me again. Matt Damon is the king of badasses as Bourne, and the upcoming one needs to be very good, as Ultimatum will be very hard to top.
I have a few hours ahead to find another epic action film to finish the day.
I watch this one the most. The film moves so fast and barely stops for breath!
Great action film with that brutally good fight scene in Tangiers.
How about Dredd?
The Raid 2 (2014)
Probably the ultimate action film. 2.5 hours of pure mayhem. The last 30 minutes, between the insane car chase, the Rama vs baseball bat guy/hammer girl and the fight in the kitchen beats every other action film I've ever seen. And some epic stuff in the previous 2 hours too (the prison fight in the mud, the fight against the young thugs in the street, the nightclub fight, the fight in the subway, the baseball bat fight in the street). Iko Uwais is the ultimate badass, he needs to be in more movies (like I want more films from Won Bin). Can't wait for The Raid 3 if it ever happens.
I'll start by saying I was never a real fan of the comics, nor of the films. I've seen them all, and the only one I really enjoy watching again is The Wolverine (2013).
Having said that, since I do watch them all when they came out, I respected the tradition and went to see this outing too. I actually enjoyed it and found it roughly on par with X-Men: Days of Future Past but not as good as X-Men: First Class, which I much preferred. Predictable maybe, but decent enough.
I have to say, as I mentioned after I watched both Civil War & BvS earlier this year, I am so done with CGI building & city collapses. I wish Hollywood would move on as it's getting tiresome, and repetitive. Moreover, none of this CGI recreated BS can hold a candle to the pseudo realistic burning New York that Nolan gave us TKDR, so why bother? This just looks like computer generated video game tripe, and it's annoying.
Fassbender really does have fantastic screen presence, and I always enjoy seeing him on screen, so it was worth it just for that.
They showed the trailer before X-Men, and it looked so predictable imho, I'm sorry to say. We see this mass destruction in so many films these days (particularly from Marvel) that it's lost its effect, while in 1996 the demolition of cities was such a grand spectacle.
I will probably see it out of respect for the original, Jeff Goldblum & Bill Pulman, but perhaps not on week 1.
High praise indeed regarding the award Coogler received.
Coogler interview from last year.
Wow, I saw this in a cheap multiplex when it opened and didn't think much of it, but on home viewing where I could actually HEAR all the dialogue I realize WHY this was a billion dollar take.
I really enjoy this superhero movie. Couldn't really tell what was added other than a couple of things for the director's cut. I've only seen the original a couple of times and it's been a few years. Watchmen is highly underrated.
I have the Dr Manhattan collectors edition BD, though I have yet to see the directors cut. I have the animated film Tales of the black freighter, is that incorporated into the directors cut?
Easily, this is my favourite performance out of Sean Connery.
"There are no strings on me". James Spader did a great job.
Might have to give it a go then. ;)
Bellissimo! Bellissimo!
