At the movies

 

 

Noah would have to be the worst movie I have seen in years!

You actually expected it to be good?

 

For a guy who directed Requiem for a Dream, I'm amazed anyone let him near a script for a Biblical movie.

 

Next they'll give Tarantino a script to direct a children's movie.

 

Goldilocks and the Three F&*@ing Bears.

 

Goldilocks and the Three F&*@ing Bears, Negro!

If you’ve ever picked up Lego I highly recommend the Lego Movie. Its awesome (like everything)

Well everything is awesome, everything is cool when you're part of a team  :P

Saw The Raid 2, a lot more story in this one and some of the best fight scenes you will EVER see. Also the most brutal film I have ever seen. Can certainly see why it was rated R18+. Only about 8 cinemas showing it an all of Australia.

Went and saw The Muppets last night, tremendously funny.  Very cery cool.

 

Actually coolest movie I've seen in a long time. 

I didn't think it matched the first one.

 

The first one from a couple of years ago that is.

Cap 2 is brilliant.

Saw Wolf of Wall Street finally... yeah that chick is pretty hot I guess...

Cap 2 was okay.

Just watched Perfume again after seeing it many years ago. An absolutely visually stunning movie and an amazing adaptation of the book by Patrick Suskind.

I’m a Comic book fan so Captain America 2 was great

I'm a Comic book fan so Captain America 2 was great

Yeah much much better than the first Captain America, but for me, Iron Man is still the best stand alone Marvel film they've made.

 

[spoiler]Anyone else interested for Avengers 2?! With Guardians of the Galaxy the final Marvel Cinema film before Avengers 2, it will be interesting to see what easter eggs they leave.[/spoiler]

I can’t wait

I reckon the best stand alone movie was Thor 2.

Saw Captain America, was ok but nothing special( i really liked the 1st one). Thought this one was really lacking in story. Action was pretty good but nothing awesome imo.

 

Best stand alone Marvel film was probably Iron Man 3 imo (Iron man 1 next)

WORST: Daredevil… honestly rubbish…

The Avengers is the best movie IMO and Iron man best stand alone.

RDJ just is Tony Stark.

And Cap 2 was good due to comic love. Needed to know some of the back story.

Thor 2 was pants whoever suggested it.

Amazing Spider-man IMO but that is more Sony then marvel.

Saw Spider-Man 2. Has it’s faults but very enjoyable.

If you want to see a clip of the new xmen stay about 5min into the credits.weird decision to show a trailer after the film For a completely different film
