How was it?
LOL, I only go to IMDB and select movies based on rating and popularity.
Less than 7? Mbanu

In addition I check how much the movie has made before I download it. 100mill is a good start.

Both Supes and Bats moms bear the first name "Martha ". Martha Kent and Martha Wayne (Funny enough, I never noticed this till the movie).
Luthor had Martha Kent, Supes mom, hostage. Which was why Supes went to meet Bats in the first place. So at the point when Bats wanted to kill him, he told Bats, "You're letting him (Luthor) kill Martha (Kent) ". Bats, not knowing that Supes mom was also Martha, was shocked as to how Supes knew his (Wayne's) mother's name and thereby held off on killing him.

Some low budget movies are nice too but their budget might mean limited theatres too. E.g Moonlight abi Moondance. Ive not downloaded it yet but it is low budget and has limited exposure.


From what I have read, it is a great movie.

He held off killing him bcoz of his mum's name. If Supes hadn't provided a reasonable explanation, he would still have killed him. Nobody would experience that kind of surprise and not stop in their tracks.

I don't over look low budget movies. A sure clincher is when I am considering a movie and check how much it made. Once I see 100m and more I am getting it.

Imdb ratings can also be misleading but box office sales if still high after one week. It's most likely worth the watch

Will check out moonlight/dance

Seems we are alike in that regard. I don't patronise movies with low rating.

But not all popular movies usually turn out positively. Some are just overhyped.

High popularity and ratings never lie.
Or maybe I just have not seen it.

Examples are the Ocean trilogy, and Daniel Craig's Bond. They are both popular on IMDb. Oceans 12 and Quantum of Solace are the lowest rated in their franchise, but they are still popular tho. The rating would warn you.


If there is a site I don't trust, it's Rotten Tomatoes.
Those guys are wicked! How can you give somebody's life work 26%? Metacritic sef still lenient small. But RT? Devils

Perharps.

I Prefer to go with rating though as against popularity. The Batman Vs Superman saga has taught me that much of it.

Rotten Tomatoes? Lol. Even the name of the website alone spells doom. Why would somebody name a site that? I always expect poor rating from them whenever I see their critics on wikipedia. They sure know how to break hearts.

On the side note, I just finished watching Casino Royale. And you couldn't be more right. It was doper than dope. I got chiefly entertained to the end. I also got to witness another side of james bond - his emotional side. Though he's not the perfect gentleman breed, but he sure knows how to treat a lady right.

Now, here is your THANK YOU. Lol.

Up next on my list - The Exorcist. Would wait for nightfall so as to get the perfect mood and atmosphere.

Please tell me how you liked that Exorcist. It's been long since I watched horror.

Where did you get Casino Royale? I found it in a streaming site. Had to stream for 2hours.

It was recommended to me by a friend. I'm going to see it because of The Conjuring - one of my best horror flicks. Both fall under same category, you know, dealing with everything about all that spiritual possession stuff and exorcising.
Check IMDB, it has a pretty good rating - 8/10.

Fzmovies, but the site is currently down. It should be accessible any moment from now.

I don't really fancy streaming. I prefer to download and watch at my own pace.

Obviously, you've watched all 2016 movies.

First off, Supes ain't a god. He's god-like but he has an accessible weaknesses. Green kryptonite. And as a Supes fan, then you should know his fights with Doomsday are usually fatal. **spoiler alert** All DC fans know Supes ain't dead so nothing to get emotional about. Except you have no idea, at which point you're OYO with your feelings.
Batman is the closest to a human superhero that we'll ever get. Even though he's incredibly smart, he still gets played by Luthor. That's human, showing he's not infallible. Batsy is one of the most dynamic and improvisational superheroes but that doesn't mean he can't be overwhelmed.

I don't really like to tell people what people to like. But if you don't like The Dark Knight trilogy, then why are you watching superhero movies? Do you even know anything about Batman? Please read up first http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman
He's a billionaire with an advanced tech section in his company. I can't recall a bat costume with wings. Are you sure you don't mean Batwing? He's usually without gadgets when he's not wearing his suit. So he's not helpless, he's just protecting his identity. Sure, there's nothing inspiring about the guy who gave up personal relationship and good night sleeps to fight crime.
Batman is human, not superhuman. He had ample preparation for his fight with Supes coupled with the fact that Supes didn't want to fight him. He was out of his league in the Doomsday fight.

I'm glad you could appreciate WW. She's really one of the finer points of the movie. And I'm very hopeful concerning her solo movie. Batman was weak in that situation but he's no rebel or coward. Even against a foe he had no hope of beating, he stood his ground. That's basic courage.

What revelation?

Please keep your hate to yourself. Batman vs Superman : Dawn of Justice is a good movie. It could have been better. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. The high expectations are the reasons why many people find it dissapointing. But it is definitely not a horrible movie. And certainly not the worst movie of all time.
My score :
Original Cut - 6/10
Extended Cut - 6.5/10

The major problems with viewers of Batman V Superman are high expectations and lack of concentration. Many expected the movie to be full of high grade action scenes, humours and linear narratives. Unfortunately, the movie was written with a non-linear narrative, serious tone and fewer action scenes, like most Zack Snyder movies. The movie also had some intellectual content which made it boring plotwise. I enjoyed the movie even though there are moments that could have been improved. The movie was laced with heavy visuals, facial gestures and body language actions all of which reduced dialogues beteeen actors (and actresses) in most scenes. The motivations of the principal actors were clearly spelt out, if one is attentive enough. For example, Lex Luthor's motivation is just summarized in one sentence, "if God is good, He cannot be all powerful and if God is all powerful, He cannot be good" which of course is paradoxical. I'll rate the movie as thus:

BVS UE 8/10,
BVS TC 6.5/10.

The Monkey King
4.5/10
I didn't feel like I wasted my time, probably cos I've wanted to watch it for a long time but it definitely has no rewatch value. Can't believe I'm saying this about a movie that stars both Donnie Yen and Chow Yun-Fat. Well, at least, I got a new mando-pop track as consolation.

Saving General Yang
7/10
The story was just interesting and touching and a bit annoying but the Chinese have their own view and I have mine. It was a really entertaining experience with a rather tricky brain teaser.

Metacritic scoring system is fairer and realistic compared to Rotten Tomatoes' scoring system. Rotten Tomatoes is overrated in general outlook. You can also try Roger Ebert, they have a consistent and reliable scoring system for movies.

Roger Ebert is nice tho. But with just 4 points, I can't differentiate between a good or average movie. IMDb is best for me.


Roger Ebert actually gave USUAL SUSPECTS 1/4. That's funny.
