Movie Critics Thread

Just watched the Hobbit. There was a bit of filler I thought, probably to tie it to the LOTR but I didn't mind it. Returning to that world was fantastic and even though it ran for nearly 3 hours I was surprised how quickly that went. So much so that I found the ending quite abrupt.
Still I enjoyed it immensely and can't wait for the next installment.

You know what's awesome, I had a LOTR marathon yesterday and was amazed at the number of references made towards The Hobbit. Rewatch them all and you'll see what I mean.


(I'm aware that the fiction was established well before the movies for anyone wanting to point that out to me ).

I'm actually going to live for once and watch all of FOTR. I should be able to get through it, though I find it easier to watch long movies in the cinema.
Wish me luck.

Good idea. I'll have to set aside a 9 hour block to do just that

End of Watch. See it. NOW!

Make sure you have a comfortable couch or you'll pay for it later

Finished watch Fellowship of the Ring. Good movie. Especially after watching the Hobbit. The start was a bit confusing but it really got into it around the middle and late parts. Now I have to put aside even more time to watch the Two Towers. Is it any better?

Two towers is much better than fellowship, even with all the non book additions!

Saw Wreck it Ralph. Very good kids film. Nothing much for non gamer adults. As beautiful as it looks, it's is a very simple Disney film, nothing on the same level as Pixar films in terms of jokes and references for all ages.

My fiancé liked it, but got about 2 game references, missing the rest Did not detract from the film for her at all. In fact she wanted to play Mariokart when she got home.

I'd watch it too but my overwhelming hatred for Sarah Silverman (long story) just keeps preventing me from watching it

Watched "The Cabin in the Woods" last night... Not what I expected. The stoner dude was quite funny

Same.. I thought it was a nice spin on a classic B-grade horror film
