brvheart 1,760 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I saw MI 4 also, and I enjoyed it fine. If I had to rank them:MI 2MI 3MI 4MI 1I enjoyed all of them though. Also, MI 2 is the most ridiculous and over-the-top, but for some reason I really liked it.I hated MI 1 at the time, because I thought it was supposed to be "real", not over-the-top, and I hated the chunnel scene where Cruise gets blown from a helicopter to the train and doesn't die... but now I can appreciate it. (It's still way last, though) Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Just go with itThis is the Adam Sandler movie where he has Jennifer Anniston act like she is his wife even though she isn't.I usually hate most current Adam Sandler movies, but I found this one suprisingly enjoyable. I think he churns out one ok movie out of every 5. Link to post Share on other sites

(It's still way last, though)You know, I do see your point about the chunnel scene, but I still think MI 2 is by far the worst of the bunch. You can say that almost the entire movie is over-the-top, which makes it work in some ways, but I think it just doesn't fit with the MI series at all. That kind of non-stop ridiculousness only belongs in a movie that's openly mocking the action genre. Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't seen the movie, but what would you prefer? Some ridiculous storyline in which they physically decimate the human race? I feel like the story told is the best way of making it realistic that apes could eventually take over. Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like the story told is the best way of making it realistic that apes could eventually take over. I liked the movie. The cure they created that made apes super intelligent was deadly to humans. That's why the ape handler died. He passed the disease onto the neighbor who was a pilot. The pilot got the ball rolling in spreading it around the world. The pilot part was in the end credits, I think. Also, First, the woods, then...THE WORLD. Link to post Share on other sites

Mercury69 3 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 TintinI grew up with Tintin, so I enjoyed this movie. The detailing was terrific, right down to the use of the font from the original books. The motion capture was top notch, giving a wide range of emotion to facial expressions. The voice work was excellent and the overall plot, which successfully culled elements from several of the books, was a little simplistic, but this is written for children, so who cares.7.5/10MI:GPSaw this on an Imax screen and it was worth it, if only for the cityscape camera shots and the Burj tower sequence. I found the plot to be tighter than the previous two and the action sequences were wll executed. Like him or not, tom Cruise is a high quality screen presence and is the focus of the series (duh). Nice work by Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner and Paula Patton. High production values and some cool tech elevates this to a high level. Score by Michael Giacchino (LOST) wasvery well done and matched the mood and setting seamlessly.8/10 Link to post Share on other sites

Governator 54 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Rise of the Planet of the ApesI really enjoyed this movie and I think it's safe to say Andy Serkis (guy who played gollum) has really found his niche with regards to motion capture CGI acting. He must do a lot of research before his roles as everything from his movements & facial expressions are captured so well. The ending left so much to be desired though as it ended up being more like "Rise of the San Francisco Chimps" instead of planet of the apes, but I'm looking forward to this reboot to continue with a sequel.

DJ Vu 176 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Planet of the Apes takes place in the year 3978. It was a long process to go from current day to then.By the end of the movie, the pieces are in place: the apes have become super intelligent and it's something that passes on from generation to generation; the humans are getting wiped out by a deadly disease. I don't really get the criticism of the ending. Were people really expecting a planet takeover to happen quickly? Link to post Share on other sites
speedz99 145 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I don't really get the criticism of the ending. Were people really expecting a planet takeover to happen quickly? Agreed. But I think we went through this last week. I guess every time someone doesn't like the ending we'll have to agree all over again. I'm ok with that. Link to post Share on other sites
Governator 54 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The movie was only about an hour and a half long and it was just over too quick for me. Maybe I'm just getting to use to longer movies lately but it seemed like there was plenty of time to see more widespread takeover outside of the forest. The movie really had only a 20min scene of the escape and then getting over the bridge. . Link to post Share on other sites

The Greatest Movie Ever SoldIt was mildly entertaining, I even laughed out loud a few times. I think I was hoping for more vitriol and less friendly banter. The few minutes of him interviewing famous directors were great and definitely should have been expanded. Link to post Share on other sites
Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Look, if I'm watching a movie about ****ing apes "rising" I want more monkeys jumping on helicopters followed by mass destruction.

To have only this image in your mind of what you want, and to turn into this major production must be pretty amazing.Except when you get a whole bunch of other people involved (writers, directors, producers, actors...) who have their own visions and you have to start compromising what you want. Then it's probably more frustrating than satisfying. Link to post Share on other sites
