>>708221966
YES, FFS!
>>708221917
This movie was boring as shit
Hey where does one hang a fedora in this thread ?
>>708222958
Agreed, first 25 minutes are spectacular, the rest is mediocre
>>708221917
>ITT: hipsters
>>708222958
Naw man, solid film.
On of the best films ever made about Vietnam, really captured the spirit of the conflict
The force awakens
>>708221917
Thank you.
And while I'm at it, pretty much every comic book superhero movie. If I have to sit through one more I'm going to fucking an hero. So sick of the same formula, and mostly sick of the assholes who LOOOOVE them SOOOO much
>>708223334

>>708223334
Still haven't watched this.

>>708222059
Yeah I wasn't much of a fan of the first one.
>>708223296
Too many cooks on this one

What's hipster, precious?
>>708223535
this movie bores me
>>708223401
just very meh
but you know that's just my opinion man
I actually saw this twice when. It was released in thesters.. this and the beast master. The 80's was a hell of a decade
>>708223296
As much as I hate to say it... I agree
>>708223334
Come on, now. Let's be reasonable.
>>708223899
It insists upon itself
>>708224015
Nigger, for its time the dark crystal was bad ass. I know thats my 8 year old nostalgia kicking in but still. Hardly anyone even knows this movie exists anymore
>>708221917
>overrater
Who the hell even watched that one?
>>708221966
Agreed
>>708224015
Yes it was
And all of the sequels. Not even trolling. I fucking hate this shit franchise. So fucking boring and amateur with no relatable characters or interesting stories.
Worst, oscar, ever
(that one and crash)

What the fuck, this movie was just horrible, nobody ever thought it was good....
Why is this here?
>>708225394
RIGHT. I am the dull one that likes a bland and terrible story telling. Eat my shit and die of salmonella.

this movie is fuckin peace of shit
>>708225958
feels fine man
Still doesn't change the fact we are both on an autistic site full of shit
>>708223334
Don't see what the hype is with this one.
>>708226161
>autistic site full of shit
There's a thing called catalog friendo :^)
>>708225203
Overrated for sure
This fgt dies and everyone gets wet over this shitty movie
>>708223146
I suppose you were there? Kek. Platoon is better anyway
>>708226531
Noooooo. That's the best one
Only reason I liked this movie was Willis' gf
>>708226910
Get fucked
>>708226979
I love it when they make their faggotry obvious from the start, and then get worse.
>>708227183
What is this abomination
>>708227183
Thats a dude right´?
i liked the book but the movie wasnt so great
>>708224015
this emotionally scarred me as a child.
It wasn't bad by any means but dunno why it's so popular. Really liked the soundtrack though.
>>708228545
Uhm racist and sexist much?
>>708228545
No one actually likes
>>708228545
part of me wants to watch this just to know exactly how horrible it is
the other part wants to be able to enjoy the original movies
>>708228716
We pretend this didn't happen.
>>708228545
Too soon
>>708228633
I didn't mind it. I thought it was funny when it needed to be and scary when it needed to be. It was exactly what I expected a reboot from a bankrupt IP by Paul Fieg would be.
Didn't deserve the acclaim it received.
Nuff said
>>708225203
agreed
>>708229125
>>708229125
My god i hate the nostalgia critic and that he managed to make that movie a thing
>>708226945
>>708225203
Yeah pretty much
>>708228716
Go in with super low expectations and it will probably surprise you. Go in thinking it some landmark for a social agenda and you'll be disappointed. Go in thinking it's an affront to the original movies and you'll probably hate it because confirmation bias, but you hated it anyway, so it would irrelevant.

The second half of the film is what makes it enjoyable
>>708221917
The avengers
>>708229345
The first one was decent the rest was shit, I wouldnt call it "one of the best action movies of all time"
pretty much every nolan
>>708229540
>IT'S LOVE
Hardest I've cringed in a movie in awhile
Suicide squad..
>>708229671
Yeah I felt like that was just a big fuck you to the audience, here's this crazy scenario and cool shit and the grand explanation is love..I was pissed
>>708229125
That movie didn't get shit for acclaim, it was a bunch of fake ass high art hipsters that blew it up because of how absolute shit it was.
>>708229319
I've heard it relies heavily on stand-up style comedy
I have yet to see a stand-up routine that didn't make me want to drive nails into my forehead
should I just avoid it at all costs?

The Martian was so fucking mediocre.
>>708221966
>>708222655
>>708224864
What didn't you guys like about it?
I thought it wasd the best action movie since forever.
>>708226531
It's frustrating that at least four movies come out a year, each of them about people with magical powers. It's a dumb tradition, and nobody realizes that even with a shitty formula like that you can still create a good movie.
>>708225323
yeah more like pi's exotic butcher shop.
(one my parents came up with while watching this)
>>708230437
gonna try and give scott's sci fi works a break after prometheus...
fucking this so much
>>708230241
I didn't think it relied too much on stand-up style. For me it felt like a decent Saturday Night Live sketch stretched for 90 or so minutes. The characters were flat stereotypes, but at its heart it's a comedy so there's no real need to do anything super nuanced.
IIt has the same tone/humor as The Office, The Heat, and Bridesmaids. If you enjoyed any of those, you'll probably find something to like in GB.
Also, the cg ghosts were legitimately frightening looking, almost akin to the ghosts in Crimson Peak.
>>708231305
One of my favorite Coen Bros movies, friendo.
>>708231452
>Also, the cg ghosts were legitimately frightening looking
If you found those ghosts in any way, shape or form scary, you are the biggest fucking faggot this planet has seen OR it's well past your fucking bed time.
>Pick one
>>708231624
>or I said they were FRIGHTENING LOOKING
>things can be frightening looking without being scary
Go be edgy someplace else faggot, adults are talking.
>>708231796
You're fucking retarded if you don't know frightening and scary are fucking synonyms. Also, calling some edgy and a child in the same sentence. Definitely past your bedtime.
>>708223076

You're a fucking retard, you started this argument for no reason, and are continuing to argue, because you have too thick of a skull, to understand what the guy is saying
Just stop
>>708232047
If you dint understand the difference between something LOOKING frightening or scary and BEING frightening or scary then you lose rights to bitch about synonyms. Retard.

*don't
Inception
Every film made before 1970. Shit is considered a "masterpiece" just because it's old
I don't get the appeal at all
>>708233280
I would agree to this, pretty much. Pretty 1970 production values are a bit garbage. Tbh, pre1993 production values pale in comparison to what we have today.
Yesiree, Biodome used in modern cinema as we know it.
I never understood why anyone would watch this more than once.
>>708233280
Have you even seen Dr. Mebuse?
It is a masterpiece and in my honest opinion, older movies were constructed more openly, so that everyone can take the message they want, instead of the casual plot unroll at the every every end of todays movies.
>>708224015
Go fuck your self.
>>708233738
That's how I felt about this. Worth experiencing, wouldn't really want to experience it again.
Same with Anti-Christ. Worth a watch, but barely.
>>708233814
yes yes..quite
Cringe fest of a movie, when the fat dyke girl with glasses is in the hospital bed and chewing food while talking like a fat dyke.
no plot, and takes advantage of the wanna-be deep and pseudo-artistic homo way of thinking
ITT faggots pretend to hate universally loved films
>>708234884
Valid points, expand on them? For instance, wtf does this mean:
>takes advantage of the wanna-be deep and pseudo-artistic homo way of thinking
What is the pseudo artistic home way of thinking?
And HOW does it take advantage of the "wanna-be deep?" furthermore, does that refer to the audience, critics, or movie characters themselves?
Use your words, anon. It's all you got on the internet.
>>708235363
*homo
>>708233423
That is the movie that defines /b/
Sorry but I never found it funny.
>>708223334
I love this movie because the main character reminds me of my dad.
>>708235695
The first half was pretty clever and witty but then it got really dried out and old. The old wasnt at all interesting.
>>708235222
Which post hurt you, anon
>>708221917
Its a guilty pleasure at best, it didn't need some shitty 20 year later sequel
>>708235695
honestly I didnt find it overrated until the drama of the new one started. Then all the people raging about their childhood being raped.
It's enjoyable.

Some cool camera shots and locations but it's way too pretentious. Zach Braff thinking he's deep or some shit. Also using the hipster douche guitar cover of Such Great Heights is a sin in and of itself.
>>708230437
It was reasonably true to the book, and the reality of what colonization of Mars would entail.
The only real stopping point is that you wouldn't be able to grow SHIT in Martian soil without like 100 years of bacterial prep. Human poop is bad fertilizer and doesn't offset the devastating levels of perchlorates in the dirt.
>>708236038
This.
I remember liking the first and second one when I was a laddy, but I hadn't thought about either in twenty or so years. The franchise was dead until butthurt nostalgics chimed in.
all movies are shit
>>708223076
would have been 5/5 while totally wasted movie, otherwise just boring but guess im hipster then...
>>708236160
And the basic premise of the movie, where the crew abandoned the base because of a storm when
1. Mars doesn't have shit for weather because its atmosphere is super thin, which means the wind wouldn't be nearly strong enough to knock down a tethered spacecraft.
2. They'd never risk taking off in less than perfect weather conditions, or risk taking off outside of schedule.
>>708227281
monster company was one of the funniest cgi movies ever..laughed my ass off!
>>708236114
probably the best soundtrack album in history tho
>>708236114
Hahaha! Off topic, I went to a wedding last week that used that cover of Such Great Heights for the first dance. It made me realize how much I don't understand weddings.
My wife and had our "first dance" to Judy is a Punk by the Ramones. We're that couple.

>>708227708
Shut your whore mouth this is gold
That old as dirt film "A Trip to the Moon" from like 1903.
Not even looking up a picture for reference because I dislike it so much. Ranted and raved about by film-fags for being revolutionary since it was made so long ago... I understand the "value" as it pertains to film history, but that doesn't mean it's good.
The backmasked music and overall look make it the most unsettling thing to watch. It's like a real life Ring video for me; as if the whole thing was never intended to be recorded and seen in the future, but it was.
im gonna have to say "Rocky Horror Picture Show" it was good don't get me wrong but i just find it shit.
>>708236756
I only know about it because of Smashing Pumpkins. I have no desire to see a long-form non-shoe gaze soundtracked version of it.
>>708236967
>it was good
>but I just find it shit
w0t
>>708237026
i mean it was good as in like the production value was good and if people enjoy it more power to them. me myself though find it shit
>>708237060
gotcha
>>708236967
Thank God I'm not the only one. I'm sure 40 years ago it was revolutionary and shocking. But I think its toothless and tries really fucking hard.
>>708222401

So many good movies here.
If ylu dlnt like them then go watch ghost busters its not overrated. That means its good
>>708221917
Deerhunter. Might rustle a few jimmies with my choice, but I watched it with high hopes.
It was crap.
Big Trouble In Little China. Watched it last week, I kind of remember people saying it was great, maybe they were trolls. It was crap.
Pulp Fiction. Good when it came out, we pretty much all liked it. But now it's aged and a new generation of kids think it's some kind of classic. It's crap.
Oh and that fucking Clooney film where he's floating about in space having visions or some shit. Worst movie ever. So bad I've forgotten what happens but not how shit it was.
Inception. Yes I think I 'get it', no it doesn't make it any less crap. Over complicated nonsense.
>>708221917
>Every Marvel movie over the past 10 years.
>Nearly every 2nd part of a movie series.
>>708237127
well take this from a 26 year old who doesnt watch many movies. back when it was made it was probably the shit. the lady with the really high pitched voice kills the whole movie for me.
>>708223028
>>708229477
I liked the whole thing.
But to be fair, I was obsessed with Titanic since I was a kid. The story at the beginning though is intriguing and holds my attention well.
>>708225048

As a 36yo who's wife/wife's entire family fucking loves it, I can say I see the appeal. They're pretty much theater rats anyway, I always chalked it up to that.
I just don't fucking get musicals or film adaptations of theater productions. It doesn't translate well for me.
>>708231452
The office was funny af and so was Bridesmaids imo, thanks anon, might give GB a try
>>708223032
Hipsters don't wear fedoras dumb ass.

Hey, fuck you buddy. The Talking Cat was a masterfully envisioned and realized movie. Nay, film; for it was an artistic delight upon my senses.
10/10 would fap to it again.
>>708237002
It's weird and, again, unsettling.
I happened to see the first 3-5 minutes again when I saw the colorized version was on Netflix and wanted to show my buddy.
Fairly certain it was a completely silent film originally, but for some reason with this updated one they put in backmasked fucked up music. Sounds like subliminal messages and voices of ghosts mixed together...
Really surprised more people aren't put off by this movie. My friend I showed it to wouldn't watch more than the first few minutes just like me tho. Said it looked like it would make you possessed by demons if you watched it all.
>>708223334
Watched this for the first time a week ago. Was very disappoint.
>>708237691
my brother loves the film and from time to time will sing it in the highest pitch voice he can make jsut to annoy me.
>>708225203
Its ok to not like a movie. Its another thing to not like starwars.
You must be the worst kind of person.i bet you dont seed your torrents
>>708238047
Harharhar your brother would get along great with wifey and her siblings. They break out into song CONSTANTLY. once one starts, they all. Join. In. Holidays and Sunday dinners can be a very hallucinatory kind of fever dream experience. Like, wtf, did I accidentally fall asleep?
Just wasn't a fan. Not even sure what the appeal is.
>>708228545
Literally the worst movie ive seen in the last decade. Watched it on torrent and it was so cringey i didnt even enjoy the cameos.
Ozzys part was the only thing that made me lahgh.
>women are funny get over it.
SP has hit this shit on the head
>>708238337
at least he makes it up by enjoying v for vendetta and watchmen. if anything im only forced to watch rocky or hear the sound track once in a blue moon
>>708233423
I understood the premise. It was pretty lame though.
>>708225203
>>708225231
>>708238276
Star wars is dumb. Why doesn't there laser swords burn the guys thats holding it?
>>708235695
In context this movie was great growing up. I watched it the other day and it still made me laugh at a few bits.
Today i dont see younger generations enjoying it. But the new one was a bad movie for modern times.im sure people from the 80s would of enjoyed the new one.
>>708238445
Cheers to that. Plus you can probably sock him and get away with it kek.

We are posting films that are really popular that didn't live up to the hype train.
Doesn't mean they are bad

Watched this pathetic excuse for a movie the other day, fucking horrible
Nolan's EdgyBatman shit movies.
Hell, any fucking movie Nolan's ever shit out.
>>708223334
I feel like this just got over-hyped. I laughed at a few parts and enjoyed the story, but it definitely didn't hold up to the, "OMG BEST MOVIE EVAR" following it got.
>>708228545
I really wanted to hate it with a passion but it was just kind of bland and forgettable
>>708225048
They are kid's movies though, nobody 12+ actually rates them very highly surely?
>>708239192
Critics do
>>708225323
Life of Pi makes Crash look like a worthy winner
This thread is full of autists who can't get any enjoyment out of life because they think they're better than everything they're seeing. Some of the selections are right, most of them are retarded. Oh and if you don't like the first 3 star wars movies (That's 4-6) you can just go fuck yourself.
All that said, any James Cameron movie that got farted out of his 100million$ budgeted asshole is usually an overrated joke.
>>708239275
The only one with semi decent filmmaking is prisoner of azkaban
>>708231305
This was a masterpiece, book was even better
>>708239275
No....they didnt.
>>708239473
the film though not the soundtrack
Oh I got it any movie anyone else likes that movie is overrated.
everything Quentin Tarantino has done with the exception of Reservoir Dogs
>>708239359
Okay so not once has there been mention of any good cinema in this thread it's all been mediocre at best that is hyped to shit.
If you want some good movie try watching stuff like Children of Men, Pulp Fiction and Alien. They are objectively good films for 3 completely different reasons.
Maybe some of us just have a different taste in film then the same bland ass horror movie that is copy pasted every fucking year
>>708239388
That's because they hired an actual visionary filmmaker.
>>708239473
It was meh at best
>>708239275
Jesus, I didn't realise that. That's a bit depressing. Never got the appeal of the whole franchise though, very poor books and even worse films. Best thing to come out of it is a really good roller coaster at Universal Studios...
10/10 movie tho
>>708226945
>>708224750
>>708223535
Here are some examples of excellent films that set standards. All found within this very thread believe it or not.
>Pulp fiction
>>708239550
>>708239852
I missed the pulp fiction post kek
Both the godfather and schindler's list are fairly old and while genre defining yes people now find them bland because of slower pacing, that is a perfectly valid reason to not like something.
Only "The Empire Strikes Back" is an above average movie
>>708239436
Uhhh, they have an average metacritic score of 73.8
Chamber of secrets 63
Sorcerer's stone 64
Deathly hallows 1 65
Order of the Phoenix 71
Half blood prince 78
Goblet of fire 81
Prisoner of Azkaban 82
Deathly hallows 2 87
All above average, 3 scores in the 80s. Get bent.
>>708240094
If they defined a genre there's no possible way for them the be overrated which is the basis of this thread.
The point i was making is that people that call movies like that overrated think a lot more highly of their film critiquing abilities than they should.
Why are so many people here defending clearly over-rated movies? Star Wars for one is a great example, if you can't see that your just as blind as the morons they're talking about.
Also /b/ has a terrible fucking taste in movies, you can't have one thread without it being filled to the brim with IMDb top 100 trash.
>>708240094
>bland because of slower pacing
It's called dialog and story. How is this a negative element? Oh, because retards can't keep focused on anything unless it has flashy lights and explosions. Stupidity like this is why modern media sucks so often.
>>708221917
Pretty neat movie
>>708221966
One of the better action movies there is with a great setting
>>708222935
Fun movie, a little too forced tho
>>708225203
Some of the movies are pretty lame, but they have their moments
>>708228545

It was shit the moment the first trailer was made public

Pretty neat movies with a great idea behind them
>ITT you faggots don't know the difference between overrated and personal preference
>>708240214
Okay just because they defined a genre doesn't stop the reddit tier circle jerk spoiling the viewing experience.
The Godfather is a good one, people beleive that it's some kind of god tier crime drama and that could be beaten by nothing, when that is simply not true. I personally was not a fan of it myself but I still enjoy a good crime drama like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The film can no longer live up to the circle jerk hype. Doesn't help we are on 4chan and most of the people here are probably about 20 therefore can't avoid the shitfest

That's not what I mean, modern audiences are more used to a faster editing style, modern changes camera angles more than older films do. Even a slow dialogue scene will swap between angles quite a bit. Modern ciemna also includes more camera movements. Even subtle things like colour correction can change the way an audience perceives the tone of a film

Is this your way of "coming out of the closet"? Admitting here that yes, you are a huge faggot?

Most of kubrick's work is quite arty. I haven't really seen much hype for it so I have no idea were you are comming from
>>708240777
It's clearly not an issue with the films themselves but the autists of a modern era. I'm 22 and i recognize the fact that most people are so constantly over stimulated that unless you have fireworks going off in front of their eyes ever half a second they lose interest. So it's not a problem with the films themselves but with an over stimulated, sated generation of people who need constant excitement otherwise they go insane.
>Also checkd
>>708240666
umm im gonna have to flip that on you. there are people who think that these films are over rated for how much people talk about that. that is there personal preference. just like its your personal preference to think they are good. we are just here to voice out opinions.
>>708241013
It's not a problem with the modern era, and it is not a case of over stimulation.
if you were to make a poker scene, you could shoot it MS EL toward the game with your main character taking center frame, cut to some MCU LA shots of the players to show emotions and then maybe a pan down to a pistol on the bad guys hit and that would be fine and good but not very visually appealing.
However if you swapped out those jump cuts for say tracking poker chips moving across the table then pan up to your player. As the game becomes more intense and heated the editing becomes faster to reflect the nature of situation. In doing this you create more flow in your scene and becomes more apealing to the eye. I am probably explaining it badly but that's the kind of stuff that you see in modern cinema, they often have more flow
All these, all harry potter, all xmen, all lord or the rings.

I DISLIKE CHILDRENS MOVIES I AM SUPERIOR TO YOU
>>708241011
Dunno about you but ask anyone who watches alot of movies and they'll say its one of the best they've seen.
I know kubricks movies are artsy, i have no problem with it, it just hasn't aged well i guess.
>>708241527
Improved camera technology/equipment really helps in here. You can do steady cam shots or program intricate crane shots in ways that would be impossible with the restrictions of older, limited film cameras.
>>708241694
No I know I'm superior to children cuz I can beat up like 20 at a time no problem. They don't even stand a chance my guy.
>>708241866
Exactly hence why we see that kind of faster pacing in modern cinema, because it is better.
>>708241694
Please tell me what Lord of the Rings does wrong
>>708241839
I guess, I am kind of on the fence for that film. I can appreciate the filmmaking but it's kind of hard for me to engage with it
Actually pretty underrated

I love Phillip K Dick too but this film is almost perfect, especially the director's cut
>>708226531
Finally, someone who agrees. I dont know anybody else who hates this movie. I've seen them all at least twice, never liked it. It's decent at best, and is responsible for years of edgy shitty comics. Heath Ledger was decent I guess, but I dont see why people are so obsessed with his performance.
This horseshit
You're all a bunch of fucking pseudo intellectuals who think you are so superior and intelligent because of the films you have watched and studied but in reality you're all a bunch of fucking assholes who waste your time with this nonsense made by people who also wasted their time on nonsense for the sake of fucking time wasting.
Fuck you all , I quit this shit board, this shit website and shitty film threads. It's all useless shit that makes you feel like you're better then you actually are. You're all a bunch of fucking resentful meat bags that judge and curse people AUTISTIC AUTISTIC ohhhhhh I bet you fucks have questioned yourselves constantly if you really are autistic or not.
Go back to watching your marvelous films and shit posting your amazing intellectually rich stimulating posts. Fucking faggots. Fuck you I'm out and never coming back to you pathetic miserable fools.

Fight Club
You guys literally have some of the worst opinions I've ever heard. Really, like I feel like I'm on tumblr or reddit this doesnt feel like home anymore what happened.
>>708233280
Oh there were bad films before 1970.
What would you know about that, though?
>>708240102
You know what? Empire Strikes Back would be my choice.
You go to the original trilogy and A New Hope, was by MILES the best.
To me, Empire Strikes Back was probably the worst of the original trilogy. Lamest plot, lame pacing (do you actually remember how long and dull the hoth sequence was), and a problem with nearly every Star Wars. TERRIBLE acting.
That being said, I love all Star Wars, but I rewatched the originals and I was surprised at how shitty Empire Strikes Back was. Honestly, the other two are better.
Empire strikes back is a completely different flavor than the prequels but probably equal in quality. A bit better in plot with much shittier battles and effects.
And while we're at it, the prequels were perfectly okay Star Wars movies. I think they were pretty great movies. But not the best.
A New Hope and Force Awakens were the best of them.
>>708243029
>I think they were pretty great movies.
>>708243029
>A New Hope and Force Awakens were the best of them.
>one basically a rehash of the other
Empire is respected for it's script, since every moment of it has people and events propelled forward by what just happened and into what is about to happen.
Not all movies have this. I read an awesome essay by Umberto Eco where he used Casablanca to explain semiotics to students. Nothing in that movie follows anything else, it's a floating mish-mash of signals that you've seen before. It's a classic movie and people love it, but it's the opposite of Empire Strikes Back because every event is without context.
That's why i need good critics, i enjoy some shitty movies sometimes.
>>708242656

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
>>708242764

Instead of bitching about others' opinions maybe contribute to the conversation.

>>708243439
Every time I watched Empire Strikes Back (I was a very young child when it came out) from when I was a kid to when I was an adult, I always wind up sort of bored with a headache. Then I tend to household chores or something in the dull parts. The pacing of that movie was fucked, granted you see that a lot in old movies (the pacing is much slower in old movies than new movies for modern tastes).
It's the only Star Wars movie that's like that.
I would almost go so far as to say I don't like that one, but there are cool scenes with Jabba, a few on hoth, a few in cloud city, but for the most part they're rare and *very* spread out.
Really it's only redeeming trait (and it's a big one) is the fact that it fleshed out the Star Wars universe quite a bit more and created a lot of the lore than any new Star Wars production builds upon.
But as a standalone movie, very very very average. The weakest of the 7 in my opinion when everyone always claims it's the greatest.
>>708233280
Dude dr strangelove was good, maybe overrated but good
>>708244003
Strangelove was fucking brilliant.
And while we're on old movies, Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, and Wizard of Oz are amazing movies that hold up well today.
>>708244003
Couldn't agree more with you
Can I see your sweet cock, just for science purposes?
>>708223334
i even stopped watching this shit half way through.
>>708242252
I mean the best telling of the hero's journey ever put on film, some of the highest quality production in any movie ever before you even get to the brilliant acting, flawless screenplay and beautiful cinematography and perfect score. Any one of these alone does not make a great film, but it has all of them. Every aspect of each film is executed to absolute perfection. Fellowship is in my top 5 of all time, the other two in my top 10 or 15 at a push.
Only a 4 year old with ADD could find those three movies boring. (The Hobbit movies sucked before anybody brings that up)

Heh, I didn't enjoy Hobbit as much as LOTR as a book but I thought the Hobbit series was better than the LOTR series on film.
>>708244181
There are some movies that are very very very much a product of their times, but in a good way. But had you have not existed or been aware enough in that era, you may not dig the style and general vibe of the movie that catches the feel of that era perfectly.
Cultures can become so different in a couple of decades that it's fascinating when a movie captures the tiny thousands of small cultural differences and the talking points of a different time.
Lebowski was made in the late 90s but it captured the vibe of like 90-92 perfectly. To the point that it actually time warps most of us back. The only other movie that gave you as strong of a nostalgic timewarp is Donnie Darko which also has very mixed reviews. Mostly people who didn't live through the 80s don't tend to "get" the vibe.
Also, that movie has hilarious natural dialogue, it actually has the chaos of real conversation rather than the overly-contrived Hollywood script lines.
tl;dr Youngfags don't get it
>>708244395
Thanks m8
Shit as HELL. (Yes I´m nazi).
>>708244472
That's interesting, what did you prefer about them?
They felt very generic and flat to me, would love to know why you preferred them
>>708244260
>Every aspect of each film is executed to absolute perfection
No. It's overrated, overwrought, with lackadaisical pacing, excruciatingly padded (especially in the second film, which I actually had to take a nap in the middle of), and just doesn't know when to fucking end.
>>708244566
That's a good movie you retard
Even a fucking nazi should see its merit
>>708244572
What, like the Earth? You fucking flat-earther faggot! Just fucking die already
>>708244572
The Hobbit being a tiny single book meant more of it made it to the movie, more character depth - without having to refer to book knowledge, more Tolkein in the various tunes sung and the stark difference between the Elves and Dwarves. LOTR was great but it typically delved fairly shallowly trying to cover a fuckload of ground.

I'll fucking backtrace you homo, you better be careful
>>708244629
I didn't get that at all, loved every second of them all. I thought the pacing was spot on, felt like it gradually built to a brilliant payoff that was only ameliorated by the long wait to get there. Fucking loved them.
Oh well, each to their own I guess!
>>708243965
>It's the only Star Wars movie that's like that.
Yeah it tried to do the New Hope thing of splitting a group into two streams and jumping back and forth, it had a lot to get done. You're right, it had old-school pacing.
Movies started to get fast about 1997, with shaky camera, awesome stuff like in Fight Club where the camera travels through vents and drains and walls in a smooth way so people miss it, or even the hand-held thing, which can get annoying.
Now we get visually exhausting stuff like the Transformers / Ninja Turtles action scenes that has crazy detail and too much happening. So a new source of headaches maybe?
>>708244748
I get what you're saying, but I actually felt like I knew more of the characters from LOTR than the Hobbit by the end. Take the 9 Fellowship guys for example, you got to know them quite well whereas the Dwarves in the Hobbit barring the main 4 (and Jimmy Nesbitt for some reason) were interchangeable.
>>708244566
>awesome war movie
>Hanks gets shot by the guy he lets go
>cheesy corny schmaltzy ending gets tacked on
>because corn and cheese
You know what you get when you take the corn and cheese out of a Hollywood movie, as well as 30% of the dialogue?
Answer is: the European/Australian/Japanese movie it was a copy of, usually.
>>708244862
Agreed. Truth be told, I'm not a big fan of the Fantasy genre. It always seems super hokey to me.
>>708244865
Well, I'd say every decade movies got much faster paced. Not just movies. But tv and books this applies to also.
So I think sometimes when we try to watch a classic movie, even one that is good, we can find ourselves bored in the dialogue and detours.
But Star Wars is meant to be a high action space thriller. The slow pace of Empire fucks that up.
If I would have been alive back in 79, I would be lamenting the fact that the second Star Wars movie wasn't even comparable to the first.
>>708245057
I agree with that actually, other than LOTR and Game of Thrones I don't think any of it translates to the screen particularly well
>>708244986
Aye but the 9 of the fellowship, generally, had massive differences to define them so less detail was required, to achieve that with the dwarves it all needed to be more subtle which is ironic given that they were dwarves. You also get a lot more of the bad guys in the Hobbit than in LOTR, large sections were dedicated to Azog, Smaug and even Saruman.
>>708242633
Watch the original japanese version. Personally I don't like any, but you might.
>>708245163
GoT is pretty fantastic. It helps that it's a long-form narrative cut up in manageable, easily digested bits.
>>708245430
Can't argue with that at all to be honest, though I do think Saruman got a good amount of time in LOTR (even though he was cut from the 3rd).
I felt like what character development did happen in the Hobbit just wasn't stuff I liked, such as the tacked on love story. Personal preferences I suppose, but there you go
>>708245681
Agreed about the love story for sure and yeah in Tolkeins writing dwarves generally weren't likeable.
