I hadn't heard anything about this until today, it looks really fucking cool. I was surprised.

i saw the trailer for this while waiting for Looper to start, and i was impressed, but not enough to say it looks fucking cool. i need to read more on it or see more to gauge whether i will even watch it or not

I think I've seen enough of Vert's movie reviews on here to be rewarded for going against them every time. Atlas is on my to-watch list at some point.

I was interested in this movie because it looked so strange and I read it cost a lot of money and then bombed. So I was actually seriously thinking of going to see it for $5 on a weekday. But I made the decision to actually read up on the movie on imdb (I always avoid doing this as I like going in to watching movies "blind") and after reading more about it I've been pretty put off.

I compiled my movie reviews I posted on sydlexia. Here is what lordsathien disagrees with every time:

[SPOILER:95517aacd9]On Drag Me To Hell - "Drag Me To Hell was horrible. It did have one hysterical moment though."

On Alice - "Alice. Very entertaining with a bunch of weird things happening. 5/5."

On Cabin in the Woods - "Watched it yesterday. Must see!! "

"Battle Royale ... Must watch." "...amazing movie that will never be replicated by America or anywhere else"

On Battle Royale 2 - "This movie is indeed hard to watch. However, this movie contains a moment that simply put is THE END OF COMEDY. I have been damned to see something so absurd, so hilarious early in my life. For now there is nowhere to go but downwards. The Japanese have always had strangeness, but [Westerners] are now without any hope in being able to respond with something against [the Japanese] with that that was put in BR2."

On Hunger Games - "Hunger Games... not be good."

On two movies similar to Taken - "There's this gorgeous French movie that isn't anywhere near as good as The Man From Nowhere but has an actor that looks like Liam Nelson lol: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0884335/ "

On Star Wars - "Star Wars did not need anymore movies after 3. "

On The Dark Knight Rises - "This movie sucked dick. Bane is not able to be convincing with camera cutaway implied violence. It ruins the brutality of his character. That and the disagreeable choice of a voice they gave him. Also, having characters explain their life stories is fucking amateurish. (Film should "Show, don't tell".) The fighting choreography is typical quick camera shot cuts slop. Movie should have never been made.

Only Anne Hathaway was good.

2/5 "[/SPOILER:95517aacd9]

I've never bothered to show people my top 10 movie list so you can pass off judgment of my taste. I think I will this week.

edit: I posted my top 10 movie list.

Wow, so you haven't even seen it? I didn't think I could hate your opinion any more than I already do, but I can see I was wrong.

I never wrote or implied I saw it. I wrote I wasn't interested in it.

I saw it at the theatres and it bored me pretty hard. I'm too hot and too tired to go into this post deeper but the whole movie is just too long and in this very long timespan not much happens. But it had some qualitys, so i won't say its like awful or anything.


it was the best of times
it was the blurst of times
