What was the last movie you saw?

WALL-E. Saw it with my grandkids. Fascinating for both adults and kids. Beautifully conceived and displayed. We learned all over again that cockroaches are one of the planet's most resilient creatures and that Twinkies have a half-life of about 1000 years. We also were shown that humankind can pretty much mess anything up, but that there may be hope for us in spite of ourselves.

I watched I Am Legend on Saturday night. I wasn't expecting a great film, but I quite enjoyed it. It's been some time since I read the book, so I can't speak for the accuracy of the translation, but I thought the film was very effective. Some great shots of an empty New York, and Will Smith did a solid job of the last man on earth going slowly insane. The effects on the 'vampires' were the biggest letdown. I think a film like 28 Days Later shows just how successful makeup on live-action actors can be in that situation, so to fall back to CGI, and less than convincing CGI at that, was a bit unnecessary.
 
I agrree to some degree about I am legend, the cgi vampires were a bit of a let down. Overall a good film a rather good performance from Will Smith, whom overall I do like generally.

I wasted 90 odd minutes of my life watching the third Pirates of the Cariibean film, did not take ot it, there were some attempts at doing something different which i felt fell flat. Naff performances a ridculously awful script far too long wold have been a good film at half the length had they cut out Orlando and whatever her name was! :(

The word I would use to describe it is "glacial". And that's being kind. How Rachel Weisz got herself mixed up with this film is beyond me.
 
That's the one - we must have been drunk when we thought the trailer looked good, they must have showed the only action bits in the entire film - or just made some up :D

It felt like it was 8 hours long.. and nothing happened, the monkey stole the show

The things that didn't happen didn't make sense either!
 
Hancock

Was very different to what I thought it was going to be - more subtle in many areas than a normal US hero based film. I liked it and Will did well, like in I am Legend, with a (slightly) more serious role than he is usually seen in!

People need to stop thinking him only as comedy,action star.

He has been nominated for oscars twice for drama movies ;)


I will see the movie when it premiere here next week cause Will Smith always entertains no matter what kind of movie. I dont care for superhero these days. I have avoided Hulk,Wanted like they were the plague cause they dont interest me anymore.
 
we have been rather oversaturated in them as of late from Hollywood - there are only a few I will watch galdly - The new Batman is looking good and the first was a good strong film (I might even start to accept Cane as the Butler) - after that I would list this film, slight comedy in it but more serious and not your typical hero film.

Batman i will watch for Bale is awesome. Im a fan of Batman comics, still read them. The first movie was a disappointment if you knew the character like me. Still it was better made then most superhero these days.

Thats why i have been looking forward to Hancock, its not typical superhero movie. Its not five minute in it he will become the amazing spider man and save the world from his nemesis the green goblin.....
 
Funnily enough, I just watched Batman Begins this morning. It was pretty good! The main reason I watched it is in anticipation of The Dark Knight, which looks like it will be sensational. Wouldn't mind seeing Hancock either.
 
Thought Hancock was really good.

Personally don't think Will Smith get's the credit he deserves.

Don't think he's made a bad film in my eyes.

And Fresh Prince was awesome:D And still is.

Spot on there,he even pulled off serious drama too in Happyness,a great film,albeit with dodgy hair! And he never looks any older!
