[frostwhisper]

I love the Star Wars movies (all of them but mostly Attack of the Clones)

I can't say there's a movie which I actually hated. If there was, I probably shut it down before I watched long enough to remember its name.

 

[DaedraEater]

NOOO!! You actually LIKE one of the prequels!!?? Back, back to the shadows with you!! Lol, jk; it wasn't bad but I've seen better...

lol I feel stupid.. Haven't seen a single of those

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

No Country for old men looks great.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I saw The Green Mile tonight, with Tom Hanks. Between you and me (and the other 10.000 members) I even got 'a bit' emo...

 

[DaedraEater]

Hmmmm... I just saw 'Enchanted' (forced, I hate being 12... well, I don't, I just hate having no opinion in the matter, )

Not bad, too predictable though, but when she called all those pests to 'clean' the apartment.... THAT was funny!

 

[Cheeder]

anyone see the new blockbuster yet? i haven't.

 

[SimonKurciski]

No Country for Old Men is awesome. Beautiful cinematography. Desert panoramas and all that.

Almost all the movies on my list were made by the Coen Brothers. They make great movies.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Love: Equilibrium
Hate: Well.. i can't come up at any.. but we're watching somekind of christmas movie at school and well.. its not a WOW!! movie... but i kind of seem to like it .. not much.. but just .. relaxing..

Back to the topic: Eragon (worst piece of sh*t ever caught on film)

I think the main reason it had such a negative response was because it tried to cram too much into a short time period. If they split up the first book into two movies it would've been a hell of a lot better.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I hate movies who go rapidly through the story, I just watched a movie (forgot the name) and it went to fast. Right in the 16th minute something happend. A good movie would slowly build it up and put a final-fight scene at last.

You're right, but then fanatics (like me, ) would have been dissapointed to see the movie having no real climax (first movie, part, thing), so either ways the movie would have sucked.

No matter how hard they would have tried, whatever would come out would be bitter to the world.

Not necessarily. Lots of books-turned-into-movies have turned out well. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Narnia (it was a good rendition of the book, not necessarily a great movie), and so on. Eragon was just seriously wtf.

No, nonono... I was saying if they split ONE book into TWO parts.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

2/3 chance that a movie-to-game would work but a 1/4 chance that a game-to-movie would work, check Silent Hill (the movie) they actually did a nice job on that one.

 

[Pyritie]

I just hope they don't make a mockery with the Warcraft movie.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

But we all did liked the Final Fantasy movies, didn't we?

 

[Xatoga]

If you want to see Eragon portrayed more like the book, just tape a dragon to the tv and watch Star Wars: A New Hope. The author of Eragon pretty much took every aspect of it's storyline only set it in a LOTR's style setting.

 

[Technomancer]

Has to be said, if we're talking about Games to Movies now:

Resident Evil movies seem to have NOTHING to do with the games. Oh wait, zombies. And Nemesis. Okay, thats about it.

Games > Movies

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

The Eragon books are still enjoyable to read, but the author really is unimaginative.

 

[SimonKurciski]

Another movie that I really like: 12 Angry Men.

Speaking of the Eragon books, when is the third one coming out? Or has it come out? I'm kind of out of date.....

Yeah, the books arn't that original, but they are kind of fun.

 

[DaedraEater]

I think that the third book comes out around Xmas 2008, it was originally going to be this year but... *sighs*

Oh, and to update you, they aren't only three now... they're four (now its Cycle or something...)

 

[SimonKurciski]

Four books? Holy glarg.

Another great movie: eXistenZe (yes, it's spelled exactly like that)

 

[ZypherXII]

Just came to remember a good classic.. Monthy python and the Quest of the Holy Grail.. ^

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Awasome movie yes, and the Meaning of Life is awasome too. ^^

 

[SimonKurciski]

The Life of Bryan!

Monty Python Argument Clinic!!!

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I love that one!

Oh and this one: Monty Python - Spam

 

[SimonKurciski]

The extended version is better......

Dawn of the Dead. Good movie.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Shaun of the Dead, better movie.

 

[Xatoga]

Yellow Submarine. Great movie, totally hilarious. I'm still debating if it was meant to be though...

 

[DaedraEater]

I think it was one thing which I will can a strangedy. Funny, yet made funny by the oddness, either ways, the music went with the music so perfectly, I felt betrayed when the movie ended

EDIT: Yes, all Monty Python-ness is EXTREMELY awesome .

 

[Jualin]

West Side Story. Old yet awesome.

 

[Pyritie]

Anyone here ever seen The Gods Must be Crazy?

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Nope, but ever saw the WW2 horror movie Down Below? (Don't know what it's called) It's in a American submarine in the WW2 that's haunted and it's SCARY, and made in the 90s so.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Tenacious D:The Pick Of Destiny Rocks.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

The Shining!

Here's Johnny!

 

[HolyRider]

A) Scarface
The Godfather
Poseidon
Rush Hour 2
The Transporter 1
The Transporter 2

B) hmm... It's hard to think of any movies that i hate like h***

 

[GST_Nemisis]

anyone seen pans labrynth? pro film.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I did, was good, funny goatdude whatever he was called. :3

 

[Xatoga]

Blade Runner. Great movie, really bizarre and awesome. And Han Solo- I mean Harrison Ford is in it too.

Also, Brazil, Twelve Monkeys, and Forrest Gump.

And am I the only person who saw Donnie Darko and thought it was crap? I mean, I got it and all but it was nothing in comparison to movies of a similar idea like Twelve Monkeys.
