Strangelove Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 As a kid even i couldnt pretend i liked tmnt3. I need to go back and see why even as a child i couldnt be impressed with it. It must truly be awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Go watch the Angry Video Game Nerd on TMNT 3. It's hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Never really a fan of TMNT 2 or 3. Â I think it was AVGN who pointed out in 2 that it's quite funny that 'Super Shredder' is so super he lasts about thirty seconds and is defeated simply because he gets really angry and collapses a jetty on himself. Â Jersey Devil scene was great. Â Hehe. I always think of 'AMBER LAMPS' whenever I hear the song now. Â This was the highlight for me though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv4CSvmHJCY Edited January 26, 2011 by Hot Heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slithy toves Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) because it's awesome and deviously hilarious when you're doing something intentionally badly the leeway for satire and other spoofy commentary is wide open so there are some pretty darn funny jokes in troma movies if you can make it through teh special fx  edit: also, may i add that the terrible fx are in some cases a spoofy kind of satire funny in and of themselves, which makes something so terribad just really terrigood Edited January 26, 2011 by slithy toves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'm not a fan of the third Spider-Man movie, but I don't loathe it as much as everyone else. I liked the message on forgiveness, but it screwed up the story. Peter was more of a douche than a real ass, like those punks who think they're tough, but you can knock out with a punch or two.

slithy toves Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 one of my personal favorites is tromeo and juliet. i think after the toxic avenger movies and maybe nuke 'em high tromeo and juliet is like my favorite troma movie.

SomTervo Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I prefer batman begins over the dark knight. By a lot. Crazy I know. Â I totally agree with this. The Dark Knight was really good as a crime film, but still not great (imho), whereas Batman Begins is the only Batman movie I've seen that captured what Batman was all about. He makes bad guys think he's supernatural, and preys on their fears. Dark Knight was totally grounded in reality and lost all of that magic, though it is still great, mostly for the Joker. Â I quite liked Remember Me. The ending completely caught me off guard. A lot of people, especially cirtics, hated it. I think that was mostly because it seems very directionless, it's not edited that well, and it's generally pretty floaty in a dramatic sense- though all the acting is still great. The best actor in it by far, though, is... Â Robert Pattinson. He's actually great in it. I enjoyed that film a lot, but made sure I had no preconceptions about it before we watched it.

I think it's the best bad movie spoof I've ever seen. The only thing they didn't have was badly inserted stock footage.  Also, I am adding terribad and terrigood to my vernacular. My fiancee still hasn't become used to me saying "totes." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I think that's a big difference between them. Because Batman Begins is an origin story it is very much about Batman. I mean, there's still a lot of personal stuff in TDK but it once again becomes a bit more about the villains (much like the other Batman films before Begins). Â Both great films, though I find TDK more 'rewatchable'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomTervo Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Â Both great films, though I find TDK more 'rewatchable'. Â Heh, yeah, I found Begins a lot more enjoyable really, but yeah I wouldn't want to watch it twice in a row. The Dark Knight, however, I'd happily see more than once in pretty quick succession. It's a much more mature and interesting film overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I can watch The Dark Knight multiple times, but I struggle each time I try to watch Batman Begins again. It's mainly the beginning where you go through his origin. I think after having watched a completed Batman in Dark Knight, it's hard to go back and see him discover things all over again. Â Both are really great films, but I would say Dark Knight is more approachable. I mean, Joker doesn't even have a solid origin, so it's like everything is ready to go for an amazing experience.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 More watchable doesn't mean better movie. I thought Batman Begins was a lot better of a film and more enjoyable whereas The Dark Knight is more of a popcorn flick so it's only enjoyable to that degree (and to enjoy Heath's acting.)

Hot Heart Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 More watchable doesn't mean better movie. Â Yes, we're all quite aware. It's simply a matter of personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Heath Ledger and the Joker is what makes Dark Night a better movie, in my opinion anyways (man). It's not simply who the actor was and who the character is, but what they all brought to the movie. With Begins, you see Bruce/Batman fighting against corruption, a nice variant of good vs. evil. Â With Dark Knight, we're introduced to an agent of chaos. Someone unlike common thieves, murders, and even the big shot crime lords. Someone who wants to see the world burn, even if it means they might die in the process. They don't care, and hell if they truly care about anything (pride, money, turf, etc). What tops it off is that Joker has a lesson he wants to teach all of Gotham. Like in the comic "The Killing Joke," he wants to show that anyone can become as insane/mad as him and that all it takes is a little push. This could be having cops kill hostages, rigging ferries to explode unless one ferry blows up the other, and of course turning the white knight of Gotham into a deranged murderer. Â In the end, no one truly won or was correct. While none of the ferries blew up, proving people are beyond selfish savages, Harvey still succumbed to hatred and revenge. To protect the image of hope and peace in Gotham, Batman must dawn the burden of being Harvey's murderer and be chased by not only the authorities, but the citizens of Gotham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I just watched The Other Guys. From what people around here were saying I thought it'd be bad, but I liked it quite a bit. I mean it's no Anchorman but it was definitely better than I expected. The plot is a little overly complicated for a Ferrell movie, though.
