BF2S Forums Rate the last movie you've seen

Might have been a three, but the way they ended it, endorsing Hollywood-styled, shallow, pointless, greedy, corporate life-styles moved it down to a 2.

I mean, the entire film built up to everything going wrong for the twat played by the guy who played a very similar twat in the Hangover (also trash) because his greed/lifestyle-in-general was going to far, but then the fucking twist was that everything works out and he gets to live oh so happily ever after day trading himself to riches, and then it looks like he'll become president as well.

What utter shite. Honestly cannot think of a worse film. At least the Hangover had Mike Tyson.

I obtained limitless and the social network before moving house and not having internet for 2 weeks.

the films did not make those 2 weeks any easier.

Firing a shot into the utter dark, I'd say that more films are on average critically rated at above 5 than under, so the true average would likely fall somewhere between 6.5 and 7. This is the reason I use 7 as a passable average so often and not 5. Not because I'm calling the movie especially praiseworthy, but that it works as a film. Also, being the average rating used, many movies fall into its fold.

Upon rewatches, my opinion generally deteriorates. For instance, once you get past the graphics and superb environment in Avatar, its average plot seems even more monotonous, even if you've already been aware of it before, and fails to carry the film in a meaningful way. Because of it, I think I've gone from an 8 (above average) to the 7. Reviews are still subjective, results either subject to a weighted formula or whim. If there was an established scientific way to specifically measure the quality of a film, there'd be far less critical debate about the qualities of cinema. If you want to call a 5 average, that's up to you and your personal scale.










Willow: 11/10

it gets less good as you watch it more. it's a good film technique-wise, aronofsky is a great director. but it is a bit much sometimes. just over the top and melodramatic, in the bad way. some of it is a bit pretentious as well - the sort of stuff that would probably appeal to a hip late-teen. drugs maaan.

Wild Cherry: .000000001/10

worst fucking movie ever made. a horrible attempt at American Pie basically. things just made no sense. It almost deserves a 10/10 just for being so fucking awful.

Never heard of that film, so I looked it up.  It has Tania Raymonde so she must have been the only thing worth looking at

let's just say there's a scene where one of the "villains" jacks off into an ice cube tray and freezes it. this same villain also makes a paper maiche mold of his wang.

The Rum Diary

rum/10 everything thing you like about H.S. Thompson - graphic sex, LSD, a sea of alcohol, and

how a journalist person finds his voice. J. Depp in his most commanding role to date - the sole applicant to a fish wrap in Puerto Rico. an erstwhile [sic] N.Y. Times reporter, embroiled in the fight of both a career and a tryst.

and,



Puerto Rico, with a cameo from



the Bacardi distillery.

sex, alcohol, LSD, and journalistic integrity, who knew?

Despicable Me - 8/10

The Raid - 10/10. Quite possibly the best action movie ever. It is Vietnamese so you will have to read subtitles the whole movie, but there isn't much talking.

Thanks, that made me laugh
Spoiler (highlight to read):
It's Indonesian

two posts in a row declaring very average movies to be "the best films of all time". some critical overlap here methinks.

Drive - 9.75/10
