B. an over the top Save The World spy movie. Think Bond in the Roger Moore era taken to the Nth degree. -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 12:10
A-. If a movie can make me tolerate, if not somewhat like "Freebird", it is a fantastic movie -- nm - amoxy Oct 28, 11:46 10
- Best action/fight scene in...I don't even know how long. -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 11:47 9
  - can I put here that The Player has some nice fight scenes - actual creative ones - mixed in with the most boringest stereo type action bits too - Pippy Zombie Salsa Dancer Oct 28, 11:51 3
    - I'm going to make David's head explode but...Revenge of the Sith's Anakin v Ben fight is choreographed really well. - Mel Profit Oct 28, 12:19 1
      - Two words: "Higher ground." -- nm - David Oct 28, 12:35
    - Everytime somebody posts about The Player, I think of the movie with Tim Robbins - amoxy Oct 28, 12:04
  - it is really right there with the crazy 88 fight in kill bill for me, but in style and substance. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 11:49 2
    - Yep. And like amoxy said below...some of the John Wick stuff. -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 11:51 1
      - And another one that slid under the radar "American Ultra". Had a couple of good fight scenes -- nm - amoxy Oct 28, 11:55
  - John Wick had a pretty good one in the nightclub -- nm - amoxy Oct 28, 11:48 1
    - yup -- nm - Pippy Zombie Salsa Dancer Oct 28, 11:50
B nm - Dignan Oct 28, 11:42
A -- nm - Pippy Zombie Salsa Dancer Oct 28, 11:41 3
- also David, you already alloted me time for this grade - Pippy Zombie Salsa Dancer Oct 28, 11:42 2
  - Yeah but now you get two hours for living in the past. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:45 1
    - dang it! -- nm - Pippy Zombie Salsa Dancer Oct 28, 11:49
C on a good day. Two *BIG* problems with it. - Mop Oct 28, 11:38 16
- My joke at the time was that there are so many holes with the plot that it's a functional colander. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:41
- I don't...um...yeah, I'm not sure I remember all the infanticide in the movie. Hmmmm -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 11:40 7
  - Logical assumption, I guess - like all the Death Star construction workers. -- nm - Roger More Oct 28, 11:43 4
    - Sure, if one of the death star workers had been depicted getting almost blow'd up -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 11:43 3
      - Maybe the endings of Man of Steel and Star Trek Into Darkness are better examples. -- nm - Roger More Oct 28, 11:49 2
        
        Hmm, I didn't like them, either. At least I'm consistent. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:59
        
        Man of Steel, at least, seems to have consequences in the sequel. - Mop Oct 28, 11:58
  - It wasn't depicted, but it was exceptionally strongly suggested. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 11:42 1
    - While not overtly discussed, this movie movies from action/adventure/comedy to apocalyptic disaster film in the blink of an eye. - Mop Oct 28, 11:44
- wow, just wow. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 11:40 6
  - I know, right? -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 11:40 5
    - I don't even know where to begin with your views on this. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 11:41 4
      - Are you suggesting that in the world of this film, what I described didn't happen? -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 11:45 2
        
        sort of, yeah. - groiny Oct 28, 11:48 1
        
        The deaths still happened. - Mop Oct 28, 11:57
      - Don't. :) -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 11:44
A-. Really fun. -- nm - pmb Oct 28, 11:37 1
- I also put it up there, I watched it twice on Saturday. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 11:38
D. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:35 8
- I'm fairly certain Mark Millar is an actual sociopath. -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 11:45 3
  - Yeah, Mark Millar being behind it is the main reason I haven't watched it yet. -- nm - Roger More Oct 28, 11:54 1
    - this -- nm - spamlet Oct 28, 12:18
  - His hatred of humanity is deeply unsettling. - David Oct 28, 11:46
- it is all starting to make sense now...... -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 11:36 1
  - It does, doesn't it? -- nm - amoxy Oct 28, 11:44
- ~one of these things is not like the others~ -- nm - decline Oct 28, 11:36
- My brother. -- nm - Loyola Oct 28, 11:35
I turned it off halfway through. -- nm - Loyola Oct 28, 11:35
An easy A. -- nm - sycor Oct 28, 11:35
A -- nm - decline Oct 28, 11:35
A- -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 28, 11:34
A. Loved it!! One of my favorites in a while. -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 11:34
A-, I think. -- nm - ML Oct 28, 11:34
I think about an A-. Maybe higher. It was really entertaining. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 11:34 1
- Apparently I rated Paddington a B, which lead to a funny thread. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 28, 11:35 [Backboard]
