grin obinna, stop hating on Watchmen.

The Graphic Novel for many years was deemed to be unfilmable and many directors avoided it.

It took the Synder to wrestle it to the ground and deliver the magnus opus that hit the cinema

@iice
Twilight Saga - Breaking Plate grin
I'll definitely watch PERSON OF INTEREST.
No DVD or R5 quality of SUPER 8 online at the moment. Its not showing at cinemas in Nigeria yet and the original DVD hits shelves by Oct. 18 2011. I can't wait to see it anyway.

He tried but fumbled at the end of the day.
If a wack film like Watchmen is good, what will you call superhero films like BATMAN BEGINS, THE DARK KNIGHT, SPIDER-MAN 2, INCREDIBLES, IRON MAN and X-MEN 2?
Re: Hollywood directors: Rate or hate? What's your Take? by obinna5000(m): 6:38pm On Jul 28, 2011
Battleship

Release date: May 2012

Production budget: $200 million

Director: Peter Berg

Cast: Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, Liam Neeson and Rihanna.

It's based on a video game of the same name. I just hope it doesn't end up being called BATTLE$HIT.

Y don't all these music artistes stick to d music recording studio n concerts? They are so annoying when they try to act. Ludacris in max payne, alicia keys in smokin aces, etc so many of them. They need to 'graduate' not just 'attend' acting skool. Habaa!!!!!!!!

Na real breaking plate. grin grin

As for battleship, i'm with Darthmaul. I don't like music artists in movies. Only a handful know anything about acting. . .the rest should stick to making music. I don't really like game based movies since most of them are major crappy. Would i go to the cinema to see it? No. Will wait for it on dvd.

Batman Begins has very bad fight scenes, it mars the Nolan Batman movies so far. Watchmen is for me a superior movie

Dark Knight is very good, very very good and even though the Fights are still not good I would say it is better than Watchmen

Spider-man 2 is the best superhero movie ever

Incredibles is the film that Fantastic four could have been, Love the Incredibles. But it is a cartoon and hard to compare to watchmen.

Iron Man It is ok but no classic Watchmen is miles better than Iron man

X-Men 2, again not bad great opening scene but nowhere near Watchmen levels.

X-Men 2, Iron Man and Batman Begins are still better than that wack film called WATCHMEN [size=2pt]aka WASHMEN[/size].

@iice
I just hope it won't be wack or else it will be called Battle$hit.

Re: Hollywood directors: Rate or hate? What's your Take? by vescucci(m): 8:32pm On Jul 29, 2011
Hmmm. Gotta say I agree with Vieira on every single thing. Perhaps if you paid attention to the philosophy of Watchmen, you'd appreciate it more.

'300' and 'Legend of the Guardians' are Zack Snyder's best films. wink

Lol. Maybe y'all should just read the script. It was my most anticipated trailer the year it came out. The only flaw is the costume. But then not really, if you know what I mean.

Has anyone seen Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths? Are the similarities with Watchmen not uncanny?

I have seen it but not sure of what similarities? Do you mean with the Owl character?
Re: Hollywood directors: Rate or hate? What's your Take? by vescucci(m): 1:49am On Jul 31, 2011
Maybe uncanny is a bit too much. What I was referring to is the logic ridden apathy of Dr. Manhattan compared with the grand sociopathic psyche of the alternate Batman.
Re: Hollywood directors: Rate or hate? What's your Take? by Vieira(m): 3:27pm On Jul 31, 2011
right, I get you now.
Re: Hollywood directors: Rate or hate? What's your Take? by obinna5000(m): 9:15am On Aug 01, 2011
Plans are underway to make a CAPTAIN PLANET live action movie. I'd love to see this. cheesy

The TOTAL RECALL remake is still under production.

BLACK GOLD hits Nigerian cinemas by fall of 2011.

True.


Fave action movie this year? Dunno. . .prolly Thor. Movies have started getting boring angry
Re: Hollywood directors: Rate or hate? What's your Take? by Vieira(m): 6:49am On Aug 02, 2011
I think my fave so far is Thor as well and I agree that nothing has really totally blown my mind yet this year.
Re: Hollywood directors: Rate or hate? What's your Take? by vescucci(m): 10:36pm On Aug 02, 2011
Insert Thor in front of queue

@teeluv, iice and Vieira
But what about favourite non-superhero action film(s) of 2011 so far?

Laurence Fishburne to play Perry White in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel (2013).

Did y'all see the trailers for RED TAILS (2012), BATTLESHIP (2012), and CONTAGION (2011)?
Re: Hollywood directors: Rate or hate? What's your Take? by iice(f): 3:11pm On Aug 03, 2011
So far i've enjoyed Rango best. I don laff tire for that one. Yes a huge incentive is my husband but still. . .that - 'i couldn't help noticing you noticing me' bit cracked me up grin grin Hopefully, Melancholia excites me undecided
Re: Hollywood directors: Rate or hate? What's your Take? by obinna5000(m): 2:40pm On Aug 05, 2011

Re: Hollywood directors: Rate or hate? What's your Take? by Vieira(m): 6:00pm On Aug 05, 2011
Non-Superhero fave this year? hmmm.

It has to be Sucker Punch as I have not really watched a lot of the releases this year.
