Marcus Theatres has a new special fancy ass theatre with fancy seats, screens, and sound. That would be a good movie to watch in it.

It is an IMAX screen? If is not i wouldn't see Godzilla in a normal screen it wouldn't do it justice.

No it's not regular either. They call it Ultrascreen DLX.

Pretty nice. I got one near me .. 30 minutes away way better drive then 2 hours lol. I'll have to watch the new x men on that bad boy.

[gschwendt]

Saw Godzilla in 3D... really good movie and I thought the 3D effects were really good. First 3D I've seen since Jackass and first for my wife... we both enjoyed it.

[JBHuskers]

I'm going to see A Million Ways To Die In The West tomorrow.

[GatorfanStovy]

I too enjoyed Godzilla in 3D specially in the IMAX setting was pretty good. A normal setting theater it wouldn't do the movie justice. Godzilla in 3D is just that good.


I am off to see x men tomorrow for an early showing. Sadly just normal theater this go around. Wanting for Transformers for my next imax trip to Milwaukee. i've heard good reviews about so should be a good one.

[JBHuskers]

Saw A Million Ways To Die In The West last night. The movie was good, but not a fall out of your seat laughing movie. McFarlane’s jokes aren’t for everyone, most go over the critic’s heads. Some didn’t like the story, but I did. If you're a fan of Seth's humor, it's definitely for you. If you liked Ted, you'll like this movie. For being a comedic take on westerns, it hits the mark.

[GatorfanStovy]

Well i saw The Lego Movie last night. With low expectiation it was pretty darn funny. I pretty much laughed all threw the movie and would see it again.

Also went and say The Fault of Our Stars or Stairs ( can't remember) it's the chick flick movie for the month with the lady. It wasn't a bad movie, she enjoyed so its a win win. If you all need to earn some brownie points with the wife/gf or just need a movie date go see that movie 9/10 times they'll love you for it.

Any ways I"m pretty excited for Transformers though looks really good for IMax experience can't wait.

[Rudy]

Took the kids to see How to Train your Dragon 2. It was good but not as good as the first. I'm a tough critic on sequels when I love the first though. Still worth seeing but it's not an overly special movie. A couple things I didn't like that my wife told me I was too nit picky on.

Still remember the day it came out. I was in grade 7. A number of my friends took multiple busses to get to the movie theatre... I wasn't allowed to go. Loved the movie when I finally saw it and still do. Nicholson was phenomenal!

Bill you watch the Way, Way Back on HBO yet? Not a bad movie

[souljahbill]

Bill you watch the Way, Way Back on HBO yet? Not a bad movie

Never heard of it but if it's on HBOGo, I'll check it out.

[psuexv]

Never heard of it but if it's on HBOGo, I'll check it out.

Yeah they've been playing it a bunch lately so I checked it out last night. It's got Steve Carrell, Toni Collette and that dude that plays Wild Bill from the Green Mile.

[souljahbill]

I rewatched Kick Ass and just watched Kick Ass 2 for the first time. Without a doubt, they're easily my favorite comic book/superhero movies.

[Rudy]

I haven't seen the first one but just watched 20minutes of 2 yesterday. Wasn't impressed by kick ass and stopped watching.

[souljahbill]

You missed all the "origin story" by skipping the original. With that said, I can see how people may not be into it. My wife can't watch it because of the liberal use of profanity.

[Rudy]

My wife can't watch it because of the liberal use of profanity.

I had an issue with that as well. I'll accept it in a real comedy and this seemed like a comedy but different at the same time.

[souljahbill]

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was just as awesome as Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I do think the titles should be switched though.

[GatorfanStovy]

I was able to see X Men Days of future past . It was a excellent movie! I wish I would have seen it on a newer DLP screen or I MAX. But i settle for the old budget movie theater since I missed it the first time around. I will defiantly catch this on blue ray when it comes out and watch it again in HD.

I also saw Transformers couple weeks ago and it was pretty good as well. Much better then haters on online. I would see it again too. My next movie will Be TMNT in August then gonna take a break for movies in a while.

[souljahbill]

Just saw "Into The Storm." I liked it way more than "Twister."

[GatorfanStovy]

I'm at the tmnt. Hope it turns out good. Review later.

[GatorfanStovy]

So after watching the new TMNT movie it was actually a pretty good movie a few grips i had but that just because i was hoping for a a little more a story in the movie.

As far as the story it was pretty descent I just didn't care how they made the turtles from the orginal movies but thats ok but it is a remake. It was still a good story line. The turtles the selves were fun to watch the movie did a good job with each turtle and their traits except for Mikey IMO. He was a little over the top and just way off it seem like to me. Maybe because that was towards/aimed a younger crowd I dunno.
Now Shreddar was actually bad ass. His fighting was pretty good. However, he did look megatron . But was due to Micheal bay of course.

If you haven't seen it go see it. Pretty fun movie.

[gschwendt]

My wife & I saw Gone Girl tonight... excellent movie. Go see it.


We also saw The Drop a couple of weeks ago... another excellent movie. Dennis Lehane is my favorite writer and his writing in movies (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone, Shutter Island) and TV shows (The Wire, Boardwalk Empire) never fail to deliver. This one is no exception.

[JeffHCross]

My wife & I saw Gone Girl tonight... excellent movie. Go see it.Going this weekend. Girlfriend won't stop talking about it.

[Rudy]

My wife really wants to see that too.

[JBHuskers]

The ladies just want to see it because Affleck is going full frontal :D

My gf saw it and said it was pretty good, not mind blowing by any means, but followed the book well.

A well done mindfuck at that. What a totally messed up movie. But extremely well done. Trent Reznor does way too well with soundtracks.

[JBHuskers]

I didn't watch The Hunger Games movies until just recently because I thought it was the next Twilight shitty movie. Definitely was wrong there, loved the series and just watched Mockingjay Part One in the special Ultra theatre with kickass seats at our theatre downtown. Another great movie in the series, and looking forward to the end.

I watched the the first 2 Matrix..........I mean, Hunger Games movies about a month ago. The 1st movie's ending was pretty anticlimactic but I still enjoyed it. The second was definitely better. I'll watch the 3rd and 4th movies too whenever they hit Netflix.

I feel the opposite about the first two movies. I really enjoyed the first one. The first half of the second one was boring as hell and there was no finish to it. It disappointed me for sure to the point I'm just renting the rest.

Just saw The Interview. I liked it, but not my favorite Rogen movie. This Is The End was better. The beginning was just okay, but once Un shows up it gets much better.

[souljahbill]

Cleared out some space in the DVR last Sunday. I watched:

About Last Night-Kevin Hart RomCom. I don't think many people here would be interested in it.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty-Best movie of the day. I really liked it.

300:Rise of an Empire-You can also call this 300:Athens Navy Edition. Not as good as the original 300 but the evil chick that's the main antagonist to the Greeks could get the D raw.

Riddick-I cut it off. It was going nowhere fast. It couldn't hold my interest at all and I liked the previous Riddick movies.

[Rudy]

I've got Amazing Spiderman 2 and the latest Captain America movie to watch yet. Not expecting a lot from Spidey but looking forward to Cap.

[souljahbill]

I've got Amazing Spiderman 2 and the latest Captain America movie to watch yet. Not expecting a lot from Spidey but looking forward to Cap.

I cleared Amazing Spiderman 2 the previous week. It's good, man. Garfield is really good as Parker/Spidey. The reboot KILLS the original 3 with Tobey Maguire. And the ending.......Oh, the feels.

[SCClassof93]

Anyone see the latest godzilla? Thinking of renting but I'm a purist and detested that overgrown iguana cgi fest from a few years ago.

My wife and I both enjoyed it... I'm not a huge purest (I liked the reboot Star Trek) so take that for what it's worth.

[Rudy]

Captain America was a bit disappointing. I liked the first one although he needed a better nemesis. The second movie was just too long. Action movies need to be under 2 hours. I paused this movie at one time and was shocked there was 55 minutes left! The first half hour was slow and boring but it got a lot better after that. It just felt like it was at least 30 minutes too long. Editing would have made it a lot better.

[SCClassof93]

I liked the star trek reboot as well. I guess by purest I meant I like godzilla to at least resemble the old big guy. I don't need a zipper showing on the suit or bad dubbing....just did not like that last one.

[morsdraconis]

Riddick-I cut it off. It was going nowhere fast. It couldn't hold my interest at all and I liked the previous Riddick movies.

That movie is very good. I suggest you try again if you liked the others.

[psuexv]

Watched World's End last night with Simon Peg. Terrible movie. What I expected from the movie but the ending was really disappointing :) I thought the could have ended it a little better, maybe with him actually completing the Golden Mile and it reversing the effect on all the people that have been replaced and killed all of the aliens or something. Could have had that map he had with some secret message on it or something. Really seemed like that's what they were leading it to but it didn't end that way.

I know nobody is probably ever going to watch the movie but put the spoilers on to be safe

[JBHuskers]

I actually liked that movie quite a bit :D

Went to see American Sniper tonight.

Really enjoyed it. Already knew how the story ended but still crazy to see how they portrayed it.

Want to read the book sometime

Bradley Cooper did a good job

[Rudy]

Saw Gone Girl. Way too long for an average movie. I had no idea it was 2.5 hours! It was weird as well as interesting but I think it tried too hard. This isn't a classic like Seven or anything like that. When a movie feels too long I can't give it a great score. 7/10.

[souljahbill]

That movie is very good. I suggest you try again if you liked the others.

I powered through. It really did get much better. The first half is really bad though. Too slow. It definitely picks up when the bounty hunters arrive. Too many "close calls" for my liking. I detest it when a TV show or a movie does the "You're going to die on 3......1-2-DISTRACTION!" thing. Everyone already knows they aren't going to die so what's the point and Riddick had at least 3 of those moments.

[skipwondah33]

How many Riddick movies are there?

Pitch Black, Chronicles of Riddick right? Or is there a 3rd?

I enjoyed those movies, didn't know there was a 3rd if there is. Last one I seen was when he became the ruler of the Necromongers after he killed the dude that could warp to different spots

Wife added the movie channels back on our DTV subscription so I've been trying to watch everything I missed out on past 2 days lol

Transcendence
Godzilla
Ender's Game
The Wolverine (thought I seen this but unsure)
2 Guns
300 Rise of Empire

Just to name a few I've recorded last night haha

There's a 3rd movie in rotation on Cinemax called Riddick.

[skipwondah33]

Yeah I saw it showing earlier today while looking for some movies. Wasn't sure if that's the one I seen or not. About to record it

Maybe I have seen them all lol.

Remember the guy named Tooms? Or something like that. And being in that prison undeground.

[Marlowe]

Riddick picks up where chronicles left off

[skipwondah33]

Ah ok. About to try to watch it at work. Damn thought for sure I seen that one, but that was just me wanting to see it lol.

Watched Godzilla and 2 Guns lastnight. 2 Guns was decent. Godzilla was eh, I like those types of movies but it was just OK. It was better than that one released some 10-15 years or however long ago though

Just watched Runner Runner on HBO Go. Another movie I wanted to see when it came out

I enjoyed it, All the movies I've seen Timberlake in he's done a good job in IMO although they all seem similar.

Well back to my movie binge. I haven't gotten anything done at work past 2 days really haha

Finally watched Riddick

Not bad, though I liked Pitch Black the best

I knew I recognized Dave Bautista's name, although I don't follow wrestling. Couldn't help but wonder if Riddick's line "now we test the ground game" was in reference to his MMA career.

Have to see what's next on the movie binge menu for tomorrow while at work

Pitch Black is easily the best. If the 2nd half of Riddick was the whole movie (a little longer obviously) it would've been better than 2. That 1st half, pre-bounty hunters, was a complete drag.

[skipwondah33]

Definitely. Didn't care for that either

Seem like they tried to get back to the Pitch Black plot in this 3rd one.

[souljahbill]

I watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Think Like A Man Too over the weekend. Captain America movies are the best of the Avenger team member movies but I still think Iron Man 1 is still the best Avenger team member movie. Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite Marvel Universe movie.

Over the top gorey, but I liked it. Into the Greek history movies.

And yeah, she has a weird look about her in the movie but yeah indeed lol

Onto Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters

The first Percy Jackson movie is better. The best part of those movies though is the chick who plays Athena's daughter. She dresses very modestly in Sea of Monsters but in the 1st movie, you can tell she's a Hotty McBody. She could get the D raw too. Twice on Sundays.

[skipwondah33]

Agree as well. Didn't care for it much

And yeah that's why I liked first one.

Alexandra Daddario. Seen them thangs' came out in a True Detective episode

Ares daughter wasn't bad either

Not sure what I'm watching tomorrow. probably Lone Survivor

Saw Draft Day. It was decent and even the wife enjoyed it. I was cringing at some of the realism but I've always liked Jennifer Garner and she still looks really good.

I saw it last year in the theater when we went to Downtown Disney for Senior Trip. I really liked it. Crazy how Kevin Costner's character worked a miracle at the last minute.

And for some reason, I think the sexiest thing about Jennifer Gardner is her voice.

[Rudy]

I just saw the Alexander, Crazy No Good bad day movie and she was the mom too. That was a cute family movie.

[SmoothPancakes]

I got Draft Day for Christmas. It was pretty good. Very unrealistic in regards to the trades (especially the draft night trade that basically cancelled everything out), but it was entertaining nonetheless, especially during the draft when Costner is in the draft room wheeling and dealing and working his magic during the first picks of the draft.

I was sort of surprised how they just sort of cut it off there. I mean, I know it was called Draft Day, so it was going to pretty much be only about draft day, but with how much build up of the players (both rookies in the draft and veterans already on the team), I thought they would at least go a little bit into the season or give you some sort of idea of how the season turned out after all of that. But on the other hand, it's probably better they didn't. Not sure how having the Browns make this great run to the AFC title game or Super Bowl or winning the Super Bowl would have gone over. It is Cleveland after all. :D Even Major League and Major League II weren't ballsy enough to either have or show the Indians winning a World Series title. :D

[steelerfan]

:D

#TheScriptIsDead

[Rudy]

I agree Smooth. I thought they might show a little of the season but oh well.

[souljahbill]

We all know what happens next. Cleveland balls out led by Vontae Mack on D and the O by Ray Jennings. Bo Callahan becomes the next Manziel/Leaf.

[Rudy]

I liked Edge of Tomorrow. A cool sci-fi Groundhog Day. I would have liked some more back story but it was fun.

Maleficent was good too. Not a great movie but an interesting twist on Sleeping Beauty for the family.

Saw Focus over the weekend.

Not bad (better than previews made it look), but really could have used some better writing in spots, especially in developing plot twists. Good acting, though Will Smith's character needed some development/fleshing out. Margot Robbie is easy on the eyes and at times she really looks like a twin sister of Jaime Pressly.

[souljahbill]

Just watched Sex Tape. Funnier than anticipated.

[souljahbill]

Last Vegas. Shit was awesome!

[souljahbill]

Into the Storm

I saw it at the movies but now it's in rotation on HBO and was the Saturday night new movie. I like it. It hasn't surpassed The Day After Tomorrow as my favorite disaster movie but it ranks highly. I like it more than Twister.

[SmoothPancakes]

It wasn't bad. I saw it in IMAX back in August and got the blu-ray for Christmas. The only tough thing for me with these movies is I'm a storm and tornado nut. So even though I know these are entertainment for the masses movies, it's so hard to watch them and not shout out "that's impossible! That can't happen! A tornado would never do that!, etc." while watching. But, it was better than I expected. The whole video camera thing with the two brothers sort of detracted a little bit in my opinion. They could have still had a good movie without all of the "Blair Witch Project" type scenes with those hand held camcorders.

Call me a sap but everytime I see that scene in Draft Day when Vontae Mack gets drafted, I feel it.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, Draft Day gets bashed for quite a few reasons, and the whole storyline revolving around the three first round picks and then getting them back as if nothing ever happened (plus extra) was pretty ridiculous and laughable, even for a movie, but damn it's still a good movie at its roots. After thinking he was gonna get screwed by Cleveland, they go and grab Mack and then also make it right with the hometown hero's son Jennings.

[GatorfanStovy]

Any one go see Furious 7 over the weekend ? It the number one movie right now .. made over 300 milion!

I went it and saw it on Tuesday today for 5$ as I never go see movies for full price. Was a killer fast and furious movie best one yet besides the first one. But honestly I loved them even 2 fat 2 furious and honestly. I think again besides the first one I like Toyoko Drift more after watching it more... I hope they bring in more characters from that movie in 8 , 9 and 10. Yes there gonna be 3 more people so get ready.

I was a little disappointing in really no races , I won't say much more on what the scene was to keep fresh for you guys.. But I'd go see it again if I could. .. I'll be waiting the new box set once there all out on blue ray! Also they did a good job in saying Good buy to Paul Walker.. And no teaser at the end for number 8.

[SmoothPancakes]

I have honestly never cared about those movies. They look stupid to me from the promos and previews. Not worth wasting my money on.

#TheScriptIsDead

[GatorfanStovy]

Yea you gotta be able to be fan of the type of movies of how they are to really enjoy them and the actors etc. FOr me I'm a car and have enjoyed for what they are and will be awaiting movie number 8!

Yeah, they seem to fall under that type of movie. Either you're going to like it or you're not. I haven't really noticed much in between in comments. For me personally, they just really have never done much for me. Of course, to be fair, a movie would have to damn near give me a blowjob to get me to willingly buy a movie ticket these days and get bent over by theater prices.

Agreed on the movie prices for tickets and food inside, which is why I only go on 5$ Tuesday for Marcus theaters. U get free popcorn so if u want soda u only need that nothing else.

I saw F&F7. Close 2nd to F&F5 for my favorite. Much better than F&F6 which was kind of a letdown after 5. That 3 building stunt in Dubai was absolutely INCREDIBLE!

Speaking of incredible, I've been wanting to give Nathalie Emmanuel the D since she showed up on Game of Thrones.

Yea you gotta be able to be fan of the type of movies of how they are to really enjoy them and the actors etc. FOr me I'm a car and have enjoyed for what they are and will be awaiting movie number 8!

I have honestly never cared about those movies. They look stupid to me from the promos and previews. Not worth wasting my money on.

Saw Home with the family. It was a good family film. The alien was the best. Maybe not as funny as I expected and it's not going to rank in the top animated movies but still worth seeing.

I'm taking advantage of an HBO free-weekend preview and DVRing a lot of movies. Finishing up the recent Godzilla movie. Pretty good, especially compared to the 90s version.


Saw Jurassic World last weekend. I thought it was pretty good, probably the best Jurassic sequel. Not as good as the first though, but that's not surprising.

Agree with you on Jurassic World. It was good like 8/10 but not as good as the first. A fun movie though that was very similar to the formula from the first movie.

Haven't seen it yet, but Fantastic Four sounds like a flop.


In a major blow for 20th Century Fox's plan to secure the fate of a key superhero franchise, controversial director Josh Trank's Fantastic Four opened to a dismal $26.2 million from 3,995 theaters at the North American box office after being rejected by critics and audiences alike.

That's one of the lowest openings of all time for a big-budget studio superhero movie, and, in a twist Hollywood didn't see coming, the $120 million tentpole lost the weekend crown to holdover Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation, starring Tom Cruise. Rogue Nation fell a mere 48 percent in its second weekend to $29.4 million from 3,988 theaters for a domestic total of $109.5 million for partners Paramount and Skydance Productions (M:I continues to be buoyed by strong Imax numbers).

Overseas, where Hollywood tentpoles often make up ground, the news was mostly grim as Fantastic Four launched to a tepid $34.1 million from 43 markets for a global bow of $60.3 million (one standout market was Mexico). Rogue Nation was easily the winner internationally as well, taking in another $65.5 million from 58 territories for a foreign total of $156.7 million and global haul of $265.3 million.

Fantastic Four was no doubt hurt by scathing reviews and a C- CinemaScore, as well as drama whipped up by the director. On Thursday, Trank tweeted that the final version of the superhero was not his own and that his version would have gotten better notices. (He later deleted the tweet.)

The Hollywood Reporter revealed in May that Trank's behavior and unusual conduct on set was a cause of great concern for the studio and producers Simon Kinberg and Hutch Parker. There were also reshoots to shore up the third act, according to insiders.

Heading into the weekend, Fantastic Four was expected to clear at least $40 million, although many expected it to approach $50 million. No one's sure what the film's start means for the sequel, which is already dated for June 2017.

Frankly from the trailers it looked horrible. Plus, though the first two weren't great I thought they had some charm with the acting. This was a reboot nobody asked for or wanted.

This

Plus, the movie not being a part of the MCU hurt. If Fox would've played ball with Marvel like Sony and got it inside of the MCU, it would've faired way better. You probably wouldn't have a black Johnny Storm either.

The last 2 X-Men movies are both really good movies so they can stand on their own outside of the MCU (though having the X-Men included in it would be pretty badass). Deadpool actually has a better shot being outside the MCU since Disney would have it as PG-13. Deadpool needs to be rated R to be truly reflective of the character.

Marvel is rebooting too often and with the weaker franchises it doesn't make sense.

After two months of waiting my wife and I finally got a chance to see Jurassic World. Not a great script and the plot was somewhat suspect... but it was a fun movie to escape to for two plus hours. I will pick it up on BluRay on release.

[Rudy]

Our whole family went and saw Mission Impossible Rogue Nation. It was really good. Just over two hours, not overly complicated and some good action. Of course there are some unbelievable type of scenes but this is Mission Impossible! The main chick in it wasn't super hot but she had nice blue eyes and she grew on me.

[SmoothPancakes]

I'm a sucker for blue eyes so I probably wouldn't mind watching her in the movie.

If you liked the humor in the movie the book was definitely better. I was so so on the movie. The last 30 min kinda happened that way but they cutout another pretty big "shit storm" he had to solve.

Just saw the good dinosaur with my son , what a great great family movie. I even shed a few tears , as these new Disney movies have entered the realm of bringing adult topics as life and death in their films

highly recommend this one. The art work was specatcular as usual and the story was top notch

i know I'm pushing 50 but it brought me to cry a few seasons. Glad it was in the dark and no one saw me

I really liked the new Star Wars movie. The two new main characters were fantastic. Having a great connection to the characters makes the movie so much better. It had a good amount of humour too.

I don't think Rey (girl) is related to the previous characters and I kind of hope she isn't. Reusing old story lines like Luke and Annikan being abandoned and not knowing their parents gets old. It was cool with the bad guy being Solos kid.

My biggest annoyance with the film was another death star narrative. Seriously? You did that in episode 4 and then reused it in Jedi which was a bit annoying. Now another one? I will be extremely pissed if the next one has yet another death ray that destroys planets. Seriously come up with a fresh idea!

I dunno what it was. Just wasn't invested in the overall story that is tied around the series. And I'm usually pretty easy to please when it comes to movies. Hunger Games blew this out of the water so far. I'll still watch the finale when it's out though.

Will Smith man..dude can act

Saw the Revenant and I liked it. But it's also long and slow at times and won't be for everyone. Tom Hardy is hard to understand in the movie and can be frustrating. The last half hour let me down though and I'd drop my rating to 7/10.

They send out a large search party at night with torches on horseback to find Leo but two days later they only send out two guys to hunt down a murderer and thief who stole the money? Give me a break. All done to set up a final one on one fight with Leo and Hardy. That made zero sense to me. At that point I just wanted the movie to end unlike the director who wanted to drag it out.

Wow they made a new season? No, a movie. I enjoyed the series to an extent so why not. Well they pretty much just eliminated football altogether and made it a party movie and a below average one at best. Hot chicks all around but most if not all the nudity was male. There is also a goat rape scene.

If you are a fan of Blue Mountain State and can wait for it to become free on Amazon or Netflix, there are worse things you could watch.

If you are RAM. Well I probably had you at male genitalia and goat rape. I am sure you will end up at Walmart to buy the DVD.

Watched The Intern with my wife yesterday. I had no clue about this movie but it was really good. It was not a fluff love story although you would probably classify it as a chick click but it was funny and interesting.

I saw it a few weeks ago and would probably give it a 7/10 as well.

Did some reading on it afterwards and supposedly it modified a purchased script where the viewer was given more doubts on if they could trust Emmitt. Not sure if this was in that script or a fan desire, but when Michelle finds the farmhouse she goes inside and sees pics of Howard with Megan/Britney, revealing that Howard may have been crazy, but wasn't a bad guy - that Emmitt (possibly) was - creating almost a Twilight Zone-esque ending.

However, you can tell they made it a monster movie and the primary goal/point was that Michelle learns to be a fighter and quit running.

Saw Batman v Superman today and thought it was pretty good; maybe a 7 or 8 out of 10.

There's some logic to the complaints of the critics, but I think they've gone overboard in bashing this one. While I watch the DC TV shows so I know a lot of the characters, reading up on the movie now it seems they really made it for comic fans. I can see where people who aren't into the comics (I do not read them) or shows could get confused or turned off. The movie isn't as friendly for the general populace as the previous Batman trilogy, for example.

I agree 100%, I thought it was a good, borderline great movie. A lot of bouncing around in the first hour, but all that bouncing around is tied together very well for the second hour. Affleck was great as Batman too. I'd say behind Keaton, Bale and Affleck are 2a and 2b. Some great geek out moments for DC fans, some great setups for a prequel that probably won't happen, and a lot of room for growth in the future with Justice League.

That's a downgrade from being most excellent.

Captain America: Civil War is the best movie in the Marvel Universe. Bar none.

[Escobar]

I still think Guardians is. Civil War is right behind it, ahead of Ant-Man.

[Rudy]

Spiderman 2 is one of the best of all time. Haven't seen this latest movie yet but that one is probably my favourite. The first xmen was really good as was Guardians. Those movies were fun, we'll written without being overly serious. The last xmen movies were poor imo. Taking themselves too seriously and getting a bit convoluted. First iron man, first Spiderman also very good. I liked the Hulk with Norton. Avengers disappointed me. First Thor was great. And Man was fun but wouldn't be in my top 5. Captain America has been solid.

Man, we disagree on a lot.

1) Spiderman 2 was fine for me until the train scene. After that scene, I hated the movie.

2) I LOVE the X-Men reboot. I liked X-Men 1 in the original trilogy but they got progressively worse. 3 was a trainwreck.

3) My top 5 MCU movies are:
5) Avengers
4) Ant-Man
3) Guardians of the Galaxy
2) Capt. America: The Winter Soldier
1) Capt. America: Civil War

4) I still need to see Norton Hulk. I've only seen Eric Bana Hulk.

5) Of all the Avengers, Thor has the worst origin movie and the worst sequel.

[Rudy]

I loved the first Thor!

As far as Hulk movies the Norton one was a ton better than Bana. I didn't even finish watching the first one.

[Rudy]

Finally watched Deadpool and it was really good. The most R rated Marvel movie for sure and definitely not for kids. But the humour and characters were great. I didn't even realize that was Gina carano in the movie. She was hot. Thicker in the movie but still looked good.

[skipwondah33]

Civil War was pretty sweet. Definitely enjoyed it.

Still have to see Ant Man.

[JBHuskers]

Just saw Alice Through The Looking Gl͏a͏s͏s in 3D. First movie I've been to in 3D in a while. Thought it was really enjoyable and funny. Never saw the original from 2010, but may have to go back and watch.

Though it was a decent movie, it appears to have tanked at the box office making enough to maybe pay Johnny Depp's salary :D

My wife and I went to see the live action Alice in Wonderland in the theater aboard a Disney Cruise ship and we both fell asleep on it.

[Escobar]

It may have tanked, because there was no reason to make another Alice in Wonderland movie. What story is this based off of, or did they just make one up so they could make a sequel?

[Escobar]

I was interested in watching it, but the subtitle (Through the Looking Glass) turned me off...don't mind my brainwashing/MK Ultra theories.

[Rudy]

I never liked Alice in the glass or any other Alice movie or book. Quite frankly a lot of those "classics" like Charlie and the chocolate factory along with Dr. Seuss's stuff are all incredibly over rated. So much better stuff now I have no interest in those old wierd things.

[Escobar]

That book was one created by Disney based on the movie, but I found the original Through the Looking Glass book. I wonder how much of the story they changed.

Finding Dory was cute and funny. If you like Finding Nemo you'll like it. Ed O'Neil as the septopus was good too.

Do you have kids? A girlfriend with kids? Someone related to you that has kids?

I want to see it and I'm childless. The original was really good.

Lol. I thought the first movie was OK. Kids don't seem to care about this one but want to see the Animals movie next month.

I am assuming you saw it with the wife? Did you also Platinum Hanna Montana? ;)

When it comes to Disney and/or Pixar animated movies, I have no shame. I enjoy them.

And I've NEVER even seen the Hannah Montana disc, let alone played it.

You don't have to have kids to like it :fp: went with my girlfriend last night.

Good info. Going to see it with my kids on Saturday. 3D or non 3D?

We went to the 3D one, but to me the Real 3D doesn't really wow me.

Yeah, I only do IMAX 3D when I see a movie in 3D. That's how I watched Captain America: Civil War.

Saw The Conjuring 2 with my daughter over the weekend.

Before we went, I had to rent The Conjuring and Annabelle so I knew what I was getting into.

Of the 3, I thought The Conjuring was the best followed by Annabelle and then 2. If you like the series, you'll be ok with the new one but it wasn't all that good.

[jaymo76]

Watched Independence Day 2 a few nights back. Nowhere near as good as number 1... But still a good 2 hours of sci if entertainment.

[Rudy]

I have never watched Independence Day. I had heard the movie wasn't good and never bothered. Plus Will Smith can sometimes get on my nerves when he plays roles fueling his big ego.

[skipwondah33]

Watched Finding Dory last week, good movie that we all enjoyed.

Planned on checking out Pets lastnight but had to work later than usual.

Will Smith is not in the movie lol. If you haven't seen the first one, you might not like it. It has alot of references to the first movie. The people I know that liked the first one, thought it was ok to good.

Pretty sure he's saying he's never seen the original. He's un-American after all.

[Rudy]

Lol. I was talking about the first one. Will Smith was in that one wasn't he? My friends didn't like it so I never bothered.

[skipwondah33]

Yeah he was in the 1st one

Thought that one was pretty good. Haven't checked out the 2nd. So many movies I need to watch and can, just don't have the time to most nights

[JBHuskers]

The first one is good, but not a movie I'll watch a million times. Maybe once a year or every other year on or around July 4th.

[Rudy]

Daddy's Home was pretty good. It's exactly what you expect. Will Ferrell and Marky Mark were good.

[Rudy]

Saw the Talking Pets movie. It was pretty decent. The family really liked it and it's worth seeing but there isn't anything really special. The plot is basic and I thought it could have been a bit funnier.
