Xela Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I watched The World's End on Friday. Didn't really get it. It was alright, but there was no explanation as to why the story was the way it was.Not that I want it to be realistic. Shaun of the Dead is unrealistic, but the explanation is there. The world is being taken over by zombies. You don't need much more than that.But, without giving stuff away, for The World's End there's not really an explanation. So I spent the whole film just thinking "what's the point?"I think it would have been much better if it was just a comedy about a pub crawl between old mates. As soon as the 'other stuff' started happening it lost something for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I think the next Bond should be a woman.A Beautiful woman suducing men into bed with her I can just about believe but no way is she going to be able to jump in an Aston Martin and chase bad guys without forgetting to take the hand brake off and it will take her 60 seconds to find her gun in amongst all the lipstick and clutter in her handbag when the bad guy confronts her 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I think as a song it's pretty poor but in the way that traditionally the bond theme song is stripped down and lends itself to the score I think the components are definitely there, I think that's the songs downfall, the bondesque strings are too overpowering right from the off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meath_Villan Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Jurrasic world .....decent flick but the bloody bromance between the dinosaurs is ridiculous I'm surprised they weren't giving each other a high 5 and opening a 6 pack at the end bryce dallas howard performance was shockingly bad but I would tongue punch the fart box off her anyday all together a decent flick 5/10 but I hope they just leave it alone now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted September 29, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I liked it a great deal & I'm looking forward to the sequels. Part of me would like a bit more dialogue and some more 'world building' but I admire the approach it decided to take. On Mad Max ... I trust your taste so much, C.E.D. I tried so hard to like this movie, too. From all I'd heard, I thought I'd found my action-movie destiny. All my hipster buddies My two hipster buddies-- people whose tastes are much finer than mine -- adored it. The great critics have hailed it. And last but not least, a lot of very stupid people didn't like it. And I'm in the last group, it seems. I was ... bored. What's wrong with me????? I'm so upset. The only thing I really loved about it unmitigatedly (is this a word?) is all the Australia. Love that place -- I'm an Antipodiphile. But but but ... to me it just felt like a long late-career Duran Duran video. Take a look, and see if you don't sort of agree ...

Pedant but Duran Duran are still going so Wild Boys would in fact be early career (84) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only two types of movies: those made for yourself and those made for other people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) It's good because it's like a Duran Duran video. Edited September 29, 2015 by CarewsEyebrowDesigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted September 29, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 29, 2015 It's good because it's like a Duran Duran video.Haha. That's right. I did a bit of digging, and I see that several Duran Duran vids from that era seem to have been indirectly influenced by Mad Max. They often used an Oz director named Russell Mulcahy, and he was apparently quote into Max. So it's not a crazy coincidence. Was never a fan of the original mad max either, so perhaps I'm just not primed for the new movie. I have enjoyed reading all the soaring critical responses to it.

Marka Ragnos Posted September 29, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) A Most Violent Year ... This film has been a quiet sensation, a bit of a sleeper, from what I can tell. It's about small-time organized crime in NYC in the early 80s. I found the acting incredible. Great stuff ...
