Bridge Of Spies:

It was good, then it got GOOD. Obviously forgiving the "Disney-fied" moments for Hollywood, but I really loved this movie. 5/5 stars? No, but a solid 4.

Straight Outta Compton (Director's Cut)

As usual, so superior to the released version. Fills in details to major scenes (which massively helps the casual fan), and some of the added scenes? DAYYYYUMMM.

And of course, Suge needs to have been killed.

Good to know -- was wondering if this version would be worth pursuing.

Black Mass:

I had high expectations, which affected my viewing. That being said, I was basically watching and waiting the movie to be over. Not horrible, but really not worth my time. Very disappointed.
 
Re: Movie Thread: Grab Some Popcorn, Enjoy The Show

London Has Fallen. Pure entertainment and some of the best filmed gunfight scenes I can recall in a very long time. Good time.
 
Re: Movie Thread: Grab Some Popcorn, Enjoy The Show

Finally got around to Spectre.

Shot beautifully. Some good action scenes. Otherwise? Kind of dumb. Like they just scouted a ****load of locations and just didn't know how to use them all to tell a single story.

And don't get me started on how pointless it was to shoehorn Blofeld into it all.

I had the same reaction. I'd read the book a few years ago and enjoyed it immensely -- the movie, not so much. It wasn't bad, but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I enjoyed the book and I thought that the title was just a token reference as the movie was much more focused on Whitey than the book does.

This movie had everything that I am interested in. And....blah. Depp did well, goes without saying. But...it just didn't hook me.
 
Re: Movie Thread: Grab Some Popcorn, Enjoy The Show

Depp hasnt made a movie that hooked me in I dont know how long.

I liked the Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus though not because of Depp. I enjoyed the first Pirates movie as well, but it's gotten a bit ridiculous. I liked Chocolat, but certainly more for Juliette Binoche than Depp. So I guess I've enjoyed movies he's in, but his performance isn't the reason that I enjoyed them.
 
Re: Movie Thread: Grab Some Popcorn, Enjoy The Show

Public Enemies was boring and he was nothing in it. That movie should have been great instead it was nothing special.
 
Re: Movie Thread: Grab Some Popcorn, Enjoy The Show

Depp is a **** actor. I can't remember the last movie of his I liked. He puts on mascara and people lose their minds.

He's awful.

I will disagree to a point. I think he's a great actor, BUT oftentimes he chooses (or is chosen for) crap movies (Hi, Tim!). Donnie Brasco was awesome, in movie, and Depp's character, for example.

Overall, I will agree he is overrated, but that also doesn't mean he isn't good. The vehicles he's been in, as a whole, though.....
 
Re: Movie Thread: Grab Some Popcorn, Enjoy The Show

Can't say I've seen Donnie Brasco. Probably because every movie I've seen of his is absolute garbage.
