The old movie thread: ratings and discussion' or some shiz

Heat is definitely not a 4/10 film... much closer to 7/10...

HOOEVER, the DeNiro/Pacino scene is ​2/10

 

this one?

Great scene. Cliff Curtis is badass in that movie.

 

Absolutely fucking dreadful scene. So cheesy.

 

Please....not even close...Washington is good....not that good....Pacino > Washington......De Niro > Washington....De Niro > Pacino

 

Amazingly gay

:l3:

 

I appreciate actors that are so charismatic, so engrossing that the people they are playing become THEM not the other way around. When I think about Ruben Carter, I see Denzel. When I think about Malcolm X, I see Denzel. When I think of Herman Boone, I see Denzel.

But in Glory and Training Day, he just plain acted his ass off.

 

:laughing:

 

Wolf of Wall street - 8.5/10. Jaja this shit was fucking funny. Excellent, excellent film.

 

American Hustle 6.5/10. Pretty good.

 

Really? I was planning to skip this as the trailer just holds no appeal for me. As a drama is it really worth a watch?

 

Difference between mine and Hut's rating system I guess. I also have it exactly a 6.5 in the "American Hustle" thread, and it scared you away from it.

 

Well after re-reading that thread it was more your review than your score that scared me off, so yeah, that and going off Godfather's advice I think I'll just skip it.

 

Just noticed this review and I never heard of this. It sounds interesting and I think I'll check it out.

 

why'd my review get moved? I was rating the last film I watched... why does this thread exist?

The topic that my review was moved to hasn't had a post in it since July... I'm supposed to go looking for a topic I don't even know exists just to post a movie review when this thread already exists for that purpose?

Anyway, eat shit Anthony... Check this shit out

The King Of Kong 7.5/10

An entertaining docu-drama about various nerdy dudes competing earnestly for the highest score ever on a Donkey Kong game (the actual arcade version from the early 80s) ... Definite good guy/bad guy dynamic. Includes a memorable scene featuring one of the bad guy's most pathetic, dorky sycophants doing all he can to sabotage the good guy upstart, essentially pwning himself for all time as one of the most transparent, passively churlish, uber-nerds ever recorded on film... Truly odd, awkward, dorky people who take this shit as serious as cancer... I've heard that there are some inaccuracies on this, but I don't care enough about the subject to be concerned... Definitely enjoyable for a casual viewer with no attachment to arcades.

 

Godfather probably moved it because it was a thoughtful review and the thread already existed. This is for more half-assed reviews, or movies that don't already have threads dedicated to them.

The search forum function will let you know if there is already a thread dedicated to a specific movie.

 

I think it's dumb, frankly. It's a small paragraph review. I'm "rating" it.

 

Only up to a certain point
