Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

[Faun]

The trailer seemed OK nothing intriguing as you guys are posting here. It seems like a usual hollywood movie where man creates machine & the machine develops emotions.
PS: I'm not into Sci-Fi movies, only Nolan's movie impressed me.

It's not Nolan type entertainer. It's more clinical in execution with fair bit of suspense.

The basic premise is very well what troubles the current AI scientists.

Oh... There are cinema halls with curtains. I saw a movie in one such hall while I was in Jaipur. Name of the cinema hall is Raj Mandir. It's very fascinating to be there. Feels very royal.
Curtains are closed while in intervals too. You can checkout the pics here:
Rajmandir gallery

I guess they may use it for theatrical performances too. That's why curtains.

Helpless was good. I had watched it few years back and found it average. Watched it again and totally loved it this time. Have you watched 101 Architecture yet? It is a must watch for hardcore Korean movies fans here. Sadly, I am the only one who seemed to have watched it yet.

Ok, I will get 101. There werent really any more good movies from Korea. So wasn't keen to watch anything.

I have these in my current list:
Tanu Weds Manu Returns
Edge of Tomorrow
Nightcrawler

Helpless makes you think even after movie ends. I learned to appreciate it after few days.

Nightcrawler and Edge Of Tomorrow are good. Latter is based on All You Need Is Kill manga.

I don't understand why some people are calling multiplex management as "gavaar". If you prefer to watch a movie in English, that doesn't make you Shakespeare either. Heck, even I prefer to watch some of the dubbed English movies, sometimes only though depending upon the genre (not all dubs are good).

Everybody has got their own preferences, and you gotta learn to respect them. Small cities anyway have very few "English" viewers, so what's business logic to air there ?

Dubs are never good. Recent hindi dubbing have ruined characters and thus the movie. I don't actually care what the original language of the movie is, I just prefer watching them with dialogues unchanged. (like in GOTG: Orb ka gola or Harry Potter: Pitramev Sanrakshram )

Raipur is a metropolitan and not exactly a small city.

BTW:

I have to ask them specifically to show post credits scenes every time else they just cut the movie off as soon as credits start. -_-

 

[dashing.sujay]

I don't deny that dubs are sometimes pathetic, but that doesn't give you the right to call someone a gavaar.

Exactly. Such movies can't be justified on shitty cam prints. If by chance i miss hall then I need a 720p or 1080 whichever is available at least.

Saw Bajrangi. My parents loved it. I like it too inspire of the fact I am not a fan of Salman. Loopholes are plenty but the premise is good and you don't get bored anytime.
Rating - 7/10

 

[a_medico]

^^.. Yes..thats the one

Bahubali - 8/10



50/50 - 7/10

 

[Faun]

Nightcrawler and Edge Of Tomorrow are good. Latter is based on All You Need Is Kill manga.

Watched Tanu Weds Manu Returns - 7.2/10 - Ok story. Liked the haryanvi accent. Few social issues touched upon. I hope people break the taboo and just don't consider it as a movie.

I went in watching without reading the premise. Worked better.

Next up, Edge of Tomorrow

The Man Who Saved the World (2014) - 9/10.


Summary:
Few people know of him... Yet hundreds of millions of people are alive because of him. The actions of Stanislav Petrov, a retired Soviet military officer, prevented the start of a worldwide nuclear war and the devastation of much of the Earth.

 

[ajayritik]

I won't watch any movie of a criminal. For that one movie, other movies' slots were reduced or not alloted. -_-

I believe some of the famous Hollywood actors have been to jail that doesn't mean you would stop watching their movies Woud you?
I don't think it's Salman Khan problem if they have so many shows in the multiplex.
Even I feel bad that there are so many shows running of Baahubali here in Hyderabad coz of it's popularity, it maybe a great movie or whatever but I think maybe they could put an additional show for some other English movies. But for that reason I wouldn't go around tearing apart the team of Bahubali.

My main reason was (still is) that Ant-man got treated like an Indie movie from a no-name studio. Sure everybody wants to cash-in on salman's movies but allotting it 75 shows compared to a mere 2 of Ant-man (not counting hindi dubbed) that too around 11 PM is just ridiculous. I was hoping to watch it in morning because the hall is nearly empty and nobody disturbs.

I agree with ashs1 as managements of multiplexes here consist of gavaar people. I have to ask them specifically to show post credits scenes every time else they just cut the movie off as soon as credits start. -_-

( I know RDJ wasn't considered good until he did Iron Man )

Yeah you should take out the anger on the Multiplex guys fair enough.

It's on my list now. After Edge of Tomorrow and Nightcrawler.

I noticed that Han Ga In is in one of the lead roles...omg.
