Movie Critics Thread

Saw Star Trek into darkness last night, I am familiar with ST Next Generation but I haven't really watched any of the other star trek movies. I got to say I enjoyed it, lots of drama, action and fighting but to me I didn't really get the whole "into darkness" thing because it all went really fast, just a superior being going around killing people trying to save his own people. It felt like it all was a blur. Overall 3 and a half out of 5.

If you wanna do some peripheral continuity catch up, look up an episode of the original Star Trek series called "Space Seed" -- I recently watched it on YouTube, including cheesy 1967 TV ads! (including tobacco advertising! ) -- you might want to consider watching the movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; Into Darkness has several bits that parallels that movie. I need to watch that film again -- haven't seen it in decades!

"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

Same. The only thing I remember from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is that ear-creature thing. I remember thinking at the time that it was a total rip-off of a scene from Flash Gordon. Then there was Megatron who used the same method of interrogation in DOTM.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

I thought this movie was great, stupid fun, and it seemed they were aware of it.
The gore factor is huge, and I loved that they didn't have an over reliance on CGI e.g. with the Troll, Edward, who I loved a lot, being puppetry.

Fun movie and recommended 3.5/5

Fast and Furious 6.

Not as furious as 5, but fast enough to score a 7/10. Great stunts and good to see my criminal racing family on the big screen again. Decent acting, plot too-reliant on FF4.

I like how they link it to Tokyo Drift and the beginning continuing exactly where 5 left off ..... It was quiet a fun movie...but there were moments in there that over the top WTF moments ... popcorn movie you just got to love them...and this time they had nice expensive car turning up ..

Just watch After Earth as well... ... it an ok movie ..and it seem pretty short .. The effect are great ... but it seem like to me that the film was a show reel for Will Smith son trying to show case that he can act and cry in a movie ... but his charisma is just not there and even Will Smith character is not a good casting.... 6.5/10

Was the Shymalan twist as bad as I am expecting?
