I'm surprised by the reaction to Elysium. I saw it for the first time this weekend. Seemed pretty watchable to me. Despicable Me 2 was pretty good too. As far as my top five, I'm gonna wait til I see the films that get released Christmas Day. I've already seen the Hobbit 2 and fell asleep at the beginning because it was so boring... I'd really love to get a WAYDM commentary of Elysium once the potter flicks are done.
You should make it Mrs Submarine, then do the other thing ![]()
Goddamnit.
How did everyone else feel about Frozen, if anyone saw it? I just saw it, and was pleasantly surprised at how strong the female characters were. And the animation was gorgeous. Music wasn't so spectacular in most cases, but "Let It Go" is a lock for Best Original Song at the Oscars.
If that song wins anything, I'm going to projectile cry acid tears at the nearest completely defenseless woodland creature.
Yeah, I don't get the hoopla about that song either. Haven't seen the movie but I saw that clip that everyone was going gaga over. Song was okay, but what threw me was that the character animation was kinda sub-par.
Again, haven't seen the whole movie, so maybe that scene works better in context.
You guys are being wayyyyyyyyyy too lenient on Elysium. That movie is a fucking abomination. Worse than Into Darkness and Man of Steel combined.
If it was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, I might say "you know what, that was watchable, at least the man is trying".
For Blomkamp to be given over 100 million budget to make an original R-rated sci-fi action movie (first time since, what, Matrix 2/3?) with 2 bankable stars, and to proceed to thoroughly waste that opportunity on a generic, forgettable, blockbuster is just tragic. "You are the chosen one" flashbacks, a story that doesn't make much sense, really sloppy and uninteresting action (outside of like 1-2 cool shots). It's not terrible, but considering this is the kind of project that never gets funded anymore, it's incredibly disappointing, since it could be another decade before a studio commits 100 mil to an R-rated action movie again.
I'd link to my review but it's in the Reviews section of the forum so check it out if you want. Suffice to say that nothing in the movie makes a lick of sense, not to mention the terrible performances and world building.
He was okay, but his character was dumb and nothing he did had any motivation.
Also, Jodie Foster and William Fichtner were fucking AWFUL.
