What the fuck. Seriously?

Liam's my boy.. I LOVED the first one.. What the fuck happened?

Terrible. Oh well, at least we got to look at Famke a lot.
 
The plot was a little unbelievable at times. The method he used to help his daughter locate him, for example...gimme a break...as if that'd go so smoothly with such accuracy. But it was entertaining enough that I didn't regret watching it at all.
 
I thought it was good. Not great, but it was entertaining and action packed.

Some of the same elements of the first movie, like the phone call and them being taken, was basically the same script over. Given, that was a signature of the first movie, it seemed corny the second time around though.
 
I love how they portrayed the daughter randomly chucking grenades around the city. I was rolling. THey were in frickin Istanbul right? It's not like random grenades go off all the time it isn't downtown Fallujah.


You ngr's need to see the Dredd remake. For real. You will see shit you've never seen before. The slow mo face plants from 200 stories up were rather unique. So were the bullet time sequences showing entry and exit...lol
 
Yeah... And we learned something: the bad guys are very respectful.
1. "Hey guys, wait- let him make this phone call."
2. "Wait, he's making a phone call again on his tiny phone. Let's let him finish instructing his daughter on how to find him."
3. "Okay, let's leave them two alone now so he can figure out a way to escape."

...etc.

And yeah I want to see Dredd. Gonna watch it soon

i was so pleasantly surprised. I dl'ed it off the net for free but by the end of the movie i was sad panda that i didn't go see it. It's just so hit and miss these days that a gem like this slides in under the radar. The movie really stayed true to being what it was and not trying to be something more. THey actually shouldn't have called it Dredd cause I'm sure that's one of the main reasons nobody was really wanting to see it...that being a remake of an old and terrible stallone movie. The bullets going in one cheek and out the other was so terribly entertaining though.

Not really a remake, just another adaption of a old UK comic book character that started in 1977.

Yeah, I bought the 3D bluray of it. It's pretty damn good. Much closer to the old 2000AD comic book than the Stallone version.

I have the 1995 version on blu as well, however it's still shrink-wrapped.
 
Hey, you could be like pdaddy and that other dude and end up liking it, they did and so did every single person they've ever asked even though the rest of the world & critics hated it, so who knows
 
Its Hollywood. If they think it'll make a buck they'll milk that pig till its teats are raw. There will probly be a 3.

The part how he got her to locate him was pretty cool though. Very few sequels are better than the original.
 
I thought it was great movie. Most movies have bullshit in them and the directors pretend like the audience is stupid, but so what? I like movies with explosions, martial arts, ass kicking, cheesy one-liners, more ass kicking, sex, hot chicks, etc...call me a dude wtf

3D I can take or leave depending on the movie and how its done. Avatar and Avengers (and surprisingly that Hubble 3D space doc) are good examples of it being worth it. However I've become an audiophile since getting a 7.1 system, and apparently the loss-less Master in this flick is astounding. Going to rent and look for a deal if I end up concurring.
 
It was just too unbelievable. Four people were shot at the hotel and the daughter throws a grenade out the window and she is able to just roam the hotel freely? She couldn't parallel park two weeks earlier, now she's outracing cops and bad guys driving stick? And they slam thru the US embassy while being shot at by machine guns and he's out five min later tracking down his wife? Good action but just too unbelievable

^^^
thx for spelling out the hole plot before I got to see it




dutch bag move
 
I enjoyed Dredd quite a bit more than Taken 2. Ma-ma was a hell of a villain, especially with the Swiss cheese renovation scene.
 
agreed. saw it last night. meh, but can't expect much.

according to box office mojo, it cost ~45mil and made around 371mil globally, so that's a very good take.

as long as that's possible, expect more.
 
What about the Bourne Legacy? Anyone see that? I heard that one disappointed too
