Yeah, I mean, with the trend of "superhero" style movies over the past 6-8 years, I understand Shyamalan's motivation to make a different style of such a movie, it just didn't really hold me. Everything else he's done has been, if nothing else, pretty hair raising.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

Just got back from seeing Indy. I liked it, but I wouldn't say I loved it.
I definitely think that a lot of people won't like it for one reason or another. My biggest complaint was that there were a couple of scenes that were too dependant on CGI.

Alright, well my allergies are about to make my head explode, but I'll expand on this more tomorrow whilst trying to kill time at work.

I'm a mod, I don't have to listen to you

Seriously though, um I'd have to think about that.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

i haven't found a horror movie i've liked yet. i mean, even the saw series which everyone seems to love was pretty boring and pointless for me :/

new indy looks terrible... dreadful even. i watched the new narnia out of sheer boredom here and it was actually better than the first and not that bad. I doubt i'll ever watch it again, but at least i don't feel like i wasted 2 hours of my life.

quoted from "cheery movie reviews with that guy".






okay, well not really.

I'm with you on that one. Wife and I both liked it a lot more than we expected to.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

I checked out Cloverfield last night, I know the reviews were mixed here but I liked it. The shaky camera thing really didn't bother me and I liked how it made you feel more involved in the movie. I think without that the movie would have been pretty lame.

Werd. The Coens can do no wrong. Well, except for the Ladykillers remake.

To the M. Night fans... did you guys watch the Village or Lady in the Water? I turned off "Lady" after the third mention of Narf. And I always finish bad movies...

I actually liked The Village, even though I figured out the end about 20 minutes into it. I also really liked Unbreakable (I'm one of 8 people that own it).

I never saw Lady In the Water.

I liked the village.

Lady in the water was disappointing.
