Moriarty Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Steal a load of ideas from other films, throw in a dinosaur, rubbish acting and a predictable plot and you get Cloverfield. 'Go without me, this is something I've got to do, I need to be with her, no dude we're not leaving you and I'm bringing my HD indestructible digicam with me.... is that you Tod? I can't believe you're here and have saved me from being killed by that huge monster and while you're here would you mind removing this piece of metal that has somehow pierced my left breast, I love you, I love you too, it just took NY to be attacked by a big f**k-off dinosaur for me to realise it '. Absolute mince. 1/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moriarty Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 You basically hated it before you saw it, didn't you? Actually my friend whose well into his films said 'I expected it to be shite and loved it, you've got to go and see it'. From what he'd said I thought that it was going to be great. Turns out that it's a complete joke and he'll be getting a slagging next time I see him. Monster attacks city, guy tries to save girl he loves, the 'joker' with the camera, the well endowed beautiful girl accompanying them in her short skirt, low cut top and high heels, the most blatant product placement I've ever seen (let's just zoom in on the Budweiser bottle and Wrigley's chewing gum). It was hideous and they stole everything from other movies. War of the Worlds, Blair Witch Project, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow, it was all in there. Girl looked nice though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans_Husband Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Finally saw There Will Be Blood tonight and was disappointed. Probably had my hopes to high. Some great moments though. And one of the greatest last lines in a film ever. 6/10 Edit for drunk spelling Edited February 20, 2008 by Satans_Husband 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what he'd said I thought that it was going to be great. Turns out that it's a complete joke and he'll be getting a slagging next time I see him. Perhaps your mate took from it what it is...a piece of quality cinema entertainment, and wasn't so cynical about every aspect of it. Although it always fascinates me when it comes to perception. You say your mate expected it to be rubbish, but loved it....he tells you it's great, and you hate it. I try and watch films with as open a mind as possible, although with the amount of hearsay and hyperbole flying around, it's sometimes not easy. I'd heard positive and negative reviews about the film, so I had basically no idea what to expect. In the end, I just sat back and enjoyed it. I couldnae care less about product placement, plot holes, inconsistencies...it's not the kind of film where any of that matters IMO. It's also the first film I've been to where the entire theatre was totally silent right at the end. Terrific cinema. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 the thing with cloverfield and i have never had this with a film before i hated all the characters from the get go and nothing that happened in the film made me change my mind. that said the film has worked because we are still talking about it on here. the devil wears prada 5/10 total chick flick although i resisted the urge to put my foot through the telly so not all bad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonTon Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Juno - 9/10 - Funny throughout, great cast too. The Illusionist - 6.5 - The extra half mark is for Ed Norton. Didn't quite manage what it set out to do,but entertaining enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartyMac Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 the thing with cloverfield and i have never had this with a film before i hated all the characters from the get go None of the characters had any depth, and none were particularly likeable. I think that was deliberate on the part of the film-makers. It just wouldn't have worked at all had their been any well known actors/actresses, or if they had explored the characters more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 MagnoliaI just can't find fault with this one. An absolute gem, but with the cast that it has, you can't really expect anything else. Probably one of my favourite movies. 10/10 I'd give it a nine just because it borrows so heavily from Robert Altman's superior Short Cuts. I agree Magnolia is a belter though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Second Coming Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Jumper 8/10. It reminded me much of myself without the jumping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Diego De la Vega Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Juno9/10. I thoroughly enjoyed the film, the soundtrack is fantastic and it is very funny in bits. The lassie who plays Juno is a cracking actress too, and Michael Cera puts in a stellar performance too. Agree With everything above especially the soundtrack, the scene with Michael Cera and Ellen Page singing the moldy peaches' song was class, great use of music 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gall09 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 The Usual Suspects - 9/10 Magnificient film. Kevin Spacey is terrific in it, and the scene were Chazz Palmanteri realises he's been duped is worth the DVD price alone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemjsim Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Jumper 7/10 enjoyable enough with a few telegraphed plot points but I'd be intrested to see if they do another film as the premise is intresting and could be a nice wee series 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gall09 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Switchblade Romance - 8/10 Genuinely creepy and i felt the "twist" at the end only added to this. (Call me naieve but i never saw it coming) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
