Will Ferrel is so good in it, I recommend it to anyone (unless you only go for action/gore/murder etc films!) | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/MYHfq.jpg) Heaven's Door - Really enjoyed this movie. Though a couple things were a bit cliche, the movie overall was very enjoyable with good setting and atmospheric moments. Nice adventure and drama that makes you think about life and its purpose. I find the problem with movies like these tend to be the pacing is often either too slow and disjointed or too fast but this was not the case for this movie! I'm a sucker to movies where the setting is portrayed sentimentally so this happened to be one of my favorites. I highly recommend this movie. ![[image loading]](http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTY1NDQ1MzkzNF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNjYwNzg1NA@@._V1._SY317_CR4,0,214,317_.jpg) Confessions - Very contrasting to the first movie I mentioned. The theme of life and death is similar but the approach is completely opposite. This movie was clever but a bit melodramatic which is to be expected based on the characters. It was nice to see the story from different character's experiences and how they all fit together to convey the movies' message. Not sure how much i like this movie after having seen it but it was enjoyable to watch. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/bUhZl.jpg) Really worth watching! It is not as good as 300 but it comes near to it. A little bit streaky in the beginning, in terms of action but in the end its going to be an awesome head-rolling bloodbath | ||

![[image loading]](http://geekadelphia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/paul-poster.jpg) Paul was alright. Funny moments, really forced in some places though. The anti-religion message was pretty heavy-handed. ![[image loading]](http://dwighttowers.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/hanna-movie-poster.jpg) Hanna was different. Slow, but interesting. | ||

The more I think about it, the more angry I become about how crap the plot and action scenes were. The worst part of the movie is Zeus' hypocrisy throughout. + Show Spoiler + Telling other gods helping humans would result in their deaths, oblivious to the fact that he is the first one to help them by training up the main character - then murdering another god for trying to prevent the main enemy from obtaining the bow, only to intervene himself later when the very thing that god was trying to prevent with the bow causes what Zeus deems is OK to intervene in once the bow is used for its purpose - and also the fact that he's quite happy to kill the male gods and let them die but forgives the female god simply 'cos she's a woman. Another bit that pissed me off was how Zeus could have killed all the Titans right from the beginning by pulling those pillars down and then have all of them teleport back to the sky rather than waiting until the very end when most of the gods had already died. What a fucking idiot. Also the main character acted like a useless piece of shit throughout the whole movie. Felt zero admiration for him, compared to the main character in 300 who was a fucking boss. | ||

Immortals opened to generally negative reviews. Rotten Tomatoes reports that 37% of 67 critics gave the film a positive review, with an average score of 4.9/10. Based on 18 reviews, the film holds an approval rating of 22% from Top Critics. The critical consensus is that, "the melding of real sets, CG work, and Tarsem's signature style produces fireworks, though the same can't be said for Immortals' slack, boring storytelling."[14] Metacritic assigns the film a weighted average score of 47 (out of 100) based on 17 reviews from mainstream critics, considered to be "mixed or average reviews."[15] | ||

It was only funny because of some burst scary moments, and I felt like the story shouldn't have just ended so abruptly. | ||

Despite Keanu Reeves only having one facial expression it's a great cult movie. Outstanding concept, great idea, really good movie overall. Don't like the unnecessary other parts though. 8/10 Was really looking forward to it but... naaah!! The best scenes have been in the trailer, rest is kinda boring or annoying. I don't like the actors, story is predictable... 5/10 for the idea ![[image loading]](http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTg5OTMxNzk4Nl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTk1MjAwNQ@@._V1._SY317_CR0,0,214,317_.jpg) The movie was surprisingly better than expected. I didn't like the role, the acting and the logic behind Kevin Bacons role. Other than that I think the actors for Magneto and Xavier did a really great job. 7/10 | ||

Movie was terrible, the use of 3D was even worse (it was also the only choice, we had to buy tickets, no non-3D option). The previews and commercials I saw made better use of 3D than the movie. Some of the action scenes were ok, specifically the side angle, slow motion killing tons of bad guy ones, similar to those from 300 since it's by the same producers. 4/10 | ||

I can honestly say i havent watched a decent movie in a long time ... i did enjoy hanna though. But then im a sucker for anythign along the lines of leon. Blood and bone was shit imo unless you like big black man pecs. Now dont get me wrong i love shit martial arts movies ... but if you like them you should watch every steven segal movie - there are a few in there that deserve awards. Namley 'How the hell did you spend that much money on this piece of shit?' awards. Honestly they are pure genius ... Need a decent martial arts film ... Enjioyed swordsmen recently But Legend was better. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1718199/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1425257/ | ||

Maybe a 2. The story itself is just terrible, full of retarded hypocrisies and a terrible flow. The emotion is fake, the acting is mediocre, the concept is stupid. + Show Spoiler + The Virgin Oracle? Seriously? But then she has sex with the main character after spending a couple of days with him. Finding the fucking super weapon in a damn rock? Zeus being just plain terrible and retarded, the main character being some normal kid with no magical powers but apparently he can fight off a dozen guys at once? I could go on too. | ||

Legend by the trailer looks like an angry guy plowing through everyone he sees. If you said that Legend is worth seeing, I will be taking your words for it. Oh yeah movies I've seen recently: ![[image loading]](http://www.madman.co.nz/wallpapers/origin_-_spirits_of_the_p_279_1280.jpg) Afterthought: AVATAR in Japan, the plot itself isn't really that original (see what I did there?  ) but still captivated my attention. Visual definitely did not disappoints, there are some scenes are just breathtaking. ![[image loading]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/510EEVTV5YL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Afterthought: Seen this movie all the way back in elementary school, now I've savaged it using high tech modern tools that is the interwebs. Seeing it again made me laugh about being totally freaked out by the WTFness, again another stunning visuals easy on the eyes. | ||
