OT: Let's talk about movies and TV - Part XXII

[ottawa]

Check out City on Fire, it's basically the original Reservoir Dogs. QT admittedly had a thing for Hong Kong movies, John Woo and Chow Yun Fat for a while.

Never heard of that movie, will add it to my watch list

Just got back from seeing Captain Marvel. I went into it knowing nothing about the movie and even less about the character.

Was quite enjoyable.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

Reservoir Dogs cliché story, weak construct and almost no character development. The positive: Good twist ending.
Pulp Fiction: ugh! cheesy lines abound and the briefcase had Wallace's soul in it, really? QT was just pulling **** out of his ass, had no real plot but it was so different for its time it was hailed as something awesome. It is not.
Jackie Brown, I don't even remember ever finishing it.
Kill Bill 1&2 fluff gore, cheesy lines again and ridiculous characters. Trailer trash cowboy holding on to a Japanese katana of near mythical status that everyone is fighting for, fluff gore meets spaghetti western meets oriental martial arts. Yeah, not a Hodge-podge of everything thrown in a blender with water fountain blood spatter.
etc...

Beautiful post lol. This is how I feel about almost all of QT's work.

Ditto

Very entertaining in some cases, but far from masterpieces.

I enjoyed every seconds of Captain Marvel. Suffers from a weak villain but good movie.

Not sure how people consider the Hunger Games trilogy one of the greatest of all time. So overrated imo.

A beautiful lady once forced me to watch every single one of them before DDay.

I made it through and it wasnt worth it.

I'll admit, on first watch it wasn't so bad to me. I would have given it maybe 7.5/10 but on 2nd watch it's closer to a 6.

It's one of those series that showed promise. First movie was OK, but the 2nd one was a big step up which was refreshing to see since it usually goes the other way. But then the 3rd and 4th were awful.

They probably have never seen Lord of the Rings, Star Wars IV, V, VI, ... or even the 3 Blade movies

It's probably the same people who loved Twilight ._.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

No one does.

Was about to say the same

"I wonder if Spider-Man 3 is really as terrible as I remember"
-Me, 2h19m ago

I cannot believe this movie exists

Never seen any of the Blade movies...might add that to my watch list

Blade 3 is one of the worst movies ever made
It’s all sorts of bad Triple H , lol. That was cringe worthy

You haven't watched many vampire movies.

Or watched The Howling movies.

There are many worst movies out there.

Mind you, I'm not even a fan of Blade. I've seen them maybe 2 or 3 times each and that's about it.

I haven't seen Underworld 5, but #4 was horrible.

Vampire in Brooklyn was epic... epically bad. Bloodrayne was terrible and I only watched because of the hot chick.

30 Days of Night I enjoyed but the sequel was pure garbage. They actually made vampires somewhat scary again as the Blade movies I think did a pretty good (or bad depending on how you look at it) of making vampires NOT scary.

I liked Blade 1 and 2. I though 3 was meh. Could have been great but a lot of wasted opportunities. I wasn't a big fan of how Dracula, sorry "Drake" (WTF?), was both cast and portrayed.

30 days is an adaptation. Probably one of the best modern vampire movies.

I quit Underworld after the turd act.

 

[ArtPeur]

I didn t mind Underworld so much, Kate Beckinsale

 

[peate]

Remember Primrose Everdeen who used to post here and make the occasional GDT?

I got curious as to where her username name came from, then I got Hunger Pains after 15 minutes.

 

[sandviper]

See, I don't think it would work either... There's no emotional attachment to Kraven... How does it work in a hour and a half movie?

Well, I guess I was living under a rock...

Kraven the Hunter's Solo Film Could Include Spider-Man - Nerdist
