FullAuto Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Yup, he does quite well too. Not your usual sword-wielding hero, our Val. Neither Kilmer or Cruise were very famous when these films were made, it's good to see them before ego took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizmiaz Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 No, I thought they were pretty good comic-to-film adaptions. I think Fantastic Four is going to be cack though.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I went to see Sin City this weekend. Dude, talk about good comic-to-film adaption. Almost pic-by-pic and word-by-word.Of course, that's the main draw-back too. Nothing new for the faithful readers. I also share your your fears regarding FF, judging from the trailer. Also, I got Daredevil "Dir's cut", which I found rather good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Did they include transition and choesion in the director's cut? Because there wasn't any in the theatrical release. And yes, Sin City doth rule mightily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harkov Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 sin city was a lot better than I had expected, never read the comic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Pretty much all of Frank Miller's stuff is worth a look, but Sin City is his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matri Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I'd watch Iron Man if they ever made it. I heard of plans for an Iron Man movie that got scrapped very very early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Isn't he invincible? Anyone looking forward to this remake? And I hear Clint Eastwood, actor-turned-director extraordinaire, is going to make a WWII film, called 'Flags of our Fathers'. Let's hope it's better than Pearl frigging Harbour.

Kizmiaz Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Did they include transition and choesion in the director's cut? Because there wasn't any in the theatrical release.I haven't seen the theatrical release but the DC of DD (don't you love abbrevasions?) is prolonged by some half hour and I didn't felt like they missed any transitions.Please define choesion. About King-Kong remake; Naah. Catch it on the tube when it comes on. Guess this is kinda wrong thrread for me.I've seen Sin City and A Very Long Engagement so now I have nothing to look forward to.

FullAuto Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Well, I'd like to know why Matt Murdock became DareDevil, for instance. That's never explained, in the TR release, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizmiaz Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Well, his father (The Devil) wouldn't lose a fight when his old boss told him to, so he was beaten to death by thugs and died in the arms of his son, who then took it upon his little shoulders to stand up for the little man from Hells Kitchen since nobody else done it. And of course fine-tuning his acrobatic reflexes bouncing around the rooftops with his "sonar-sense". Enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 You mean, his father the drunk who obeyed the mob boss when he felt like it? Not what you'd call a strong role model, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizmiaz Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Yeah, the very same. He sharpens up after he scared his son blind and starts to win a few matches, bonding anew with his son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Don't recall that in the TR. Glad to see it improved. I'm a sucker for Asian cinema, so I'll mourn the remake of Dark Water and find me a copy of Twilight Samurai and watch that instead. I love samurai films.

FullAuto Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Fingers crossed, Ultraviolet should be good. From the director of Equilibrium, we get a tale of a world riven by civil war, and it's humans versus vampires in the near future. I also hope Cursed, a werewolf film from veteran Wes Craven (yes, he's had his fair share of duds, let's be nice), will be enjoyable, if not excellent. Recently discovered a film of Hayao Miyazaki's (sort of the Japanese Walt Disney, but better) that sounds brilliant, Nausicaa. I've seen most of his films, but somehow missed this one. Can't wait to find it on DVD somewhere. Same for Howl's Moving Castle, which won't be out for a while, though. Oh, I was vaguely interested in The Island before I saw a trailer for it which gave away the WHOLE plot. Nice going, arseholes. Still, it was only a Michael Bay film anyway.

Slaughter Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Ultraviolet sounds interesting! Thanks for the link The Island sounds like a Lost wannabe. I look forwards to Saw II. The first one was REALLY disturbing, and great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matri Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Okay, just got word of a new movie I wanna see. If Spielberg can deliver, that is. Check this article. Doesn't take a genius to tell you it's gonna be CGI heavy. Ciaratrof, JdasonAmile, etincuche and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I'm sorry to say, that looks as if it's going to be shite. Perhaps if Shpielberg was directing, but Michael "Explosions R0x0r" Bay will scupper it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaughter Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Well, Michael Bay does have a few good ones. I like both The Rock and Bad Boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Yes, and then there's Pearl Harbour. And Armageddon. Both more than slightly hysterical (no, not the funny hysterical, the other kind).And all credit to Bad Boys and the Rock, they didn't break any moulds. Strictly by the numbers. Someone give Tea Leoni a cough sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Sometimes I don't understand a word of what you're writing. Could you rewrite the last line in a "English for dummies" way? But yeah, Armageddon wasn't too good, and I didn't even bother watching Pearl Harbour. Gave me a "Titanic in WWII" feeling seeing the add for it...
