Did anyone see The King's Speech? I don't quite think it's a movie that I would particularly enjoy but apparently it's very good.

Sorry for not quoting, on my phone. Yeah, I thought it was really good, I just had crazy high expectations, so it didn't blow me away but I definitely enjoyed it. Also the whole arm thing is not as graphic as it is made about to be, which is not a bad thing.

Saw 'The King's Speech' - it ain't no Winter's Bone.

To each their own. And it was a joke.

King's Speech is nothing like Precious.

I liked Winter's Bone a lot more then the Kings Speech too.

The King's Speech was a good movie. It certaintly has some great acting and was well directed, but I enjoyed the story of Winter's Bone a lot more from an entertainment perspective.

Exactly. Thought Rush was better than Firth, and the cinematogprahy I think was the best part, followed by the dialogue between the two back and forth. But, overall, I thought Winter's Bone was better. Next up this week are Black Swan and True Grit for me.

How To Train Your Dragon is better than them all!!!

Okay maybe not, but I have a hard time thinking that anyone over the age of five could think Despicable Me was better than Toy Story 3.

According to my almost 4 year old: How To Train Your Dragon(barely)>Toy Story 3>Despicable Me

i think the poignancy of TS3 is in growing up with the series
that ending wouldn't mean anything to me if i hadn't
hopefully today's kids can keep going back to those movies as they get older and get something new out of them

i was surprised by how good "how to train your dragon" was though... those misfit to hero stories are always good for the kids to see

As for the original topic, I haven't seen nearly as many movies as I would have liked, especially some of the ones "critics" raved about. But as far as what I did see, I'm going:

The Social Network
Inception
Scott Pilgrim vs The World
Toy Story 3
Kick-Ass

I honestly can't believe people actually liked Scott Pilgrim... no offence to any of you... we saw it in the cinema and it's the first time EVER I wanted to walk out from about half way through... I was just getting angrier and angrier and now Michael Cera really pisses me off :evil: It was horrible, horrible film!

Agree with you. 100% garbage from start to finish. By far the worst film I have ever paid to see in the cinema and I have watched some crap. Wanted to leave after 20 mins but stayed 'til the end. It will be a cult classic though and will have a continous dvd following i'm afraid.

how to train your dragon had only 1 thing going for it ... the dragon ... and don't get me wrong that fire breather stole the show as far as i'm concerned ...

TS3 was good but the difference is this: in movies like this - we all know the ending is gonna be good ... otherwise kids would be scarred for years and parents would be pissed ... haha ... so, ultimately - did i feel any tension when we reached a potential climax in TS3 - not really ... but when dude shows up and he misses the recital ... it was a kick to the junk! ... haha

To be honest, I don't understand the hate. I loved all of the visual effects and flourishes, and I just thought it was a fun movie from beginning to end.

Due Date
was hilarious IMO


I love Michael Cera
but I haven't seen Scott Pilgrim
Films based off comic books really annoy me most of the time
