Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

[rajatGod512]

Watched The Amazing Spider Man IN 3D - Movie was good IMO , I really liked the work of Andrew Garfield , he looks the man to play Spider Man . I was not a huge fan of the original trilogy even though I haven't read the comics but I certainly know about a lot of characters. The Movie lags a bit some time , specially in the first half , with the introduction of The Lizard it became more interesting and the last half an hour was pure fun. Emma Stone , Rhys Ifans both I think played there part well . I have seen way better 3-D and VFX than this , but I think this film gives more emphasis on telling a story rather than a roller coaster CGI Ride . 7.5/10


BTW ... I missed the Post Credit Scene, Didnt know one was there .

Didnt knew Spidey is this much popular here - it is breaking all kinds of record .

You bet!

Amazing Spiderman 6/10

I could not like this movie. This does not match the comic books I've read. I could not relate to the character.
Toby Maguire played exactly the way its in book and I loved that along with his acting. But, this is something else. A different approach though. A "Chronicle" approach if I'm allowed to say. What would a college kid do if he gets power. Whimsical, unorganized, always excited and confused.

The Toby Maguire version had a beautiful love story in it, I liked it even more for that, but this one is meh!

And, I've lost hope in 3D and decided to watch all next movies in 2D only. Fcuk yeah!

And Rajiv Masand rated "Maximum" 1.5/5 in his show.

I have not read the comics as such, but have seen loads n loads of spider man cartoons, right from the 80sss and Amazing Spiderman was much close to that aspect then the TM Spider Man. (The first one was still better) ...... anyway just my opinion as always ...

I don't understand this thing. Specially with Spidy books. Different Peer Parker in each approach.
Spider Man
Amazing Spider Man
Ultimate Spiderman

All have different issues, different powers and obviously different villains. I wonder if Stan Lee wrote all these!

Ahh!! I'd been waiting for your review

btw, make sure you have your 3D glasses on

The Amazing Spider-Man 7/10
Story was quite long. Still after watching it, many would say that it could have been better. Story had too much of rom-com over action. Andrew acted well, Thank god he wasnt a cry baby like Tobey. Score was also good. But still one will see the difference between implementation of 2 directors. First series was better but this one is also good. Now comes 3-D factor, the scene which spiderman perform last with the web was good and few action scenes were good but overall not good. But many reviewer said that it was to comic book. Of course, the benchmark achieved by Nolan will not be achieved by any directors. I've to go to IMAX to check whether Indian talkies suck at 3D projector. I seen it in E-square, Pune. They decreased brightness just after the movie started :/

Anyone from Pune here?
which Talkies got better 3D?
As i really dont want such thing happening on The Dark Knight Rises!

TDKR is not in 3D.

Thank god

Nolan usually doesn't prefer 3D, even though he was approached several times by the WB guys. He believes 3D will kill the story telling aspect of his movies.

 

[rhitwick]

^Thank Nolan!

Guys what about this 3D Funda? I mean the people here who are bashing the 3D aspect of the movies are you saying the 3D here in India is not good or...

I don't think it has anything to do with the indian theaters. Personally, one of the things I hate about 3D is the brightness(recent experience with Pixar's Brave, was terrible..the movie was already dark and the 3D made it even worse), except for prometheus this year, there were hardly any movies this gen that got the brightness right. And ofcourse the converted crap usually sucks, resulting a mediocre 3D experience. The tech is still in its infancy.
All we can do, is do a little research on the internet before going to the movie.

3D is not yet matured.. basically it cant give the same lighting/screen brightness as a regular screen. I used to prefer 3D over 2D, but now I enjoy 2D more than 3D.

 

[Anorion]

3D so theatres can charge extra drives up revenue
Some 3D with good production values (shot in 3D check imdb) are good, converted 3D movies better to just catch the 2D version

Anyone here watched Hugo on IMAX 3D?
