Dredd was really awesome. Gritty and nihilistic with a touch of subtle black humor. Just the way it should be. I have no idea why this wasn't a success at the box office.

Skyfall......Good fucking damn great.

Growing up I watched a shit ton of james bond but I've always wondered what it would have been like to see the old ones in the theaters when they came out. Skyfall made me feel that way.

Here's to another 50 years Mr. Bond.

BUT IT MAKES NO SENSE!

What part of it doesn't make sense?

The biggest plot hole in Skyfall involves the scene which is embarrassingly stolen from the Dark Knight. The majority of the other plot holes revolve around it.

Without spoiling, the whole London portion of the evil plan doesn't make any sense, and Bond's arrival at that point stops making sense from the casino. I read the wikipedia entry for it a few days after seeing it thinking I must have missed something but no, it's mind boggling.

Plot hole? In a Bond movie? Fuck that shit, take me back to the days of The Moonraker when things made sense.

That's my point, even by Bond standards it makes no sense.

Spoilers!
They stole the "HE WANTED US TO CATCH HIM" scene from dark knight. At least in dark knight it made some sort of sense in terms of the character's motives, but in Bond it's just there because they thought it would be cool. From there, the scenes preceding it fall apart. His plan to be caught hinges on Bond going to China, managing to kill the sniper guy and figuring out where that casino chip is from. He then has to beat all those guys in a fight (and not get eaten by dragons), and agree to go along with that woman to that island, then the villain has to hope Bond tries to escape with the gun he gives him and doesn't kill him instead of taking him prisoner. Probably the dumbest part of the film is the way that his original assassination attempt on M involved him walking into the middle of a crowded court room and shooting her, where presumably she's heavily body guarded. Again, they're going for the "suicidal villain" thing like in dark knight, but it blows. I also hate the way that Q the hacker (the action movie equivalent of the wizard) is able to "create a digital trail" for javier bardem to follow, but that MI6 aren't able to say, provide more guys / more weapons to hide out at the farm.

It's terrible. I'm a life long bond fan and accept the bullshit like say, the underground train crashing through the tracks at the exact moment that the bad guy wants it to etc, but the basic plot needed heavy rework.

Krythor · #**4087**

Even a Bond film as terrible as Die Another Day has its own internal logic that it tries to abide by, even if it's laughable, eg the evil scarred Korean guy gets plastic surgery and becomes a thin, English gentleman can be accepted on some level because the film tries to explain it. But Skyfall doesn't play by its own rules: it wants you to think it's a gritty, realistic Bond film, but can't be bothered doing the heavy lifting to earn it.

I haven't seen the new one but jet out of curiosity, how do you feel about tomorrow never dies and the new casino royal?

Fathom Zero · #**4089**

I wouldn't say it all hinged on Bond finding him. I believe that he would've made it increasingly easy for them to find him after a while.

darkvare · #**4090**

he knew they sent bond after him since he had everything mi6 had about bond after he was tested again

dextire · #**4091**

Watched all 4 Critters movies back to back. Enjoyed them all but in going from favorite to least favorite; 2 is by far the best, 4, 3, 1.

Been ages since I've seen either but I liked Casino Royale and think that Tomorrow Never Dies is really underrated. Last time I watched Goldeneye it wasn't as good as I remembered.

I watched Argo a week or so ago. I mostly enjoyed it, although the sappy ending ruined it a bit.

Fathom Zero · #**4094**

Goldeneye is really, really campy, but I'm cool with it. The opening scenario was awesome, though.

Ex Leper · #**4095**

The Dungeonmaster (1986) - Great cheesy Charles Band film with a cameo by WASP! Not on DVD

Beer (1985) - Weird comedy about guys who be come famous for doing beer commercials, OK.

Vamp (1986) - Underrated 80s vampire movie i should have seen long ago.

Ghost Warrior (1986) - Another Charles Band film about a Samuri in modern times, dull.

All Hail Duke · #**4096**

philadelphia-pretty good, i guess

Mad Melvin · #**4097**

Looper. Not bad. Not bad at all. Didn't expect much, so I was very pleasantly surprised.

Babs · #**4098**

Hey ex leper, I just recently watched the dungeonmaster (ragewar) the other day as well. I was wondering if there was a DVD version but all I could find was a VHS copy. Time to setup a petition.

Aaarg · #**4099**

just visiting, a remake of les visiteurs

It's available on netflix but I don't think there is a DVD yet. I'm guessing the music rights (WASP) are preventing it from happening.
