I'm all but alone in this, but I truly despised the first "Lord of the Rings" movie. In retrospect, as part of a much greater whole, it's ... functional, but it completely fails for me as a stand-alone film.

i have never failed to be disappointed in the movie when i have already read the book. how about you?

2 summers ago i watched christian bale and gary oldman exchange lines on a rooftop, show my son the batmobile in action, and...

this week i saw heath ledger with green hair outside gotham national bank (old chicago post office).

do not **** with cb or batman begins.

roger corman owns all of you.

It's OK, Style Forum is a nice well-rounded chat for most other things. It's just that when it comes to this I'd rather take a cheese grater to my crotch.

i just went back and read through alot of this thread. no offense to anyone but this forum has some pretty lousy taste in cinema

I was stuck at home watching a movie by Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore titled "Music and Lyrics" Oh it sucked like a toothless $20 hooker.

The Prestige was pretty boring and even Scarlett couldn't save it. Shame, there was potential there.

Grudge 2 was a load of rubbish.

"Cool As Ice"

a very terrible movie

yet, it did manage to produce one of the best cinematic quotes of all time:

"Drop that zero and get with a hero"

It would've made a pretty decent Victorian-era thriller, it would've made a pretty decent Victorian-era sci-fi/fantasy film, but it was a mess as both.

Brokeback Mountain and Dreamgirls some of the worst movies I have ever seen.

I haven't seen Dreamgirls so I can't comment on that. I have seen Brokeback mountain and whilst I wouldn't say it was worthy of an Oscar (whatever that means to be honest) I don't think it qualifies as a bad movie unless these two are the only movies you've ever seen. But I guess it's all subjective really.

I just watched 'The Queen' and didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would - mostly because I got annoyed by seeing the mass hysteria around Diana's death again.

I think this is mostly true. However, off the top of my head:

- Jaws was a much better movie than book

- The Godfather was a much, much, much, much, much better movie than the book

- L.A. Confidential wasn't better than the book, but it stands on its own quite well - I feel the same about Mystic River

I think if there is action, movies tend to be better than books.

There are certainly worse movies than zodiac, but man did that sucker drag during the last 7 hours or so. I can't remember the last time I checked my watch so often during a movie. Had it been a 1-hour made for tv movie, it would have been ok.

How so? I didn't think either was great, but both were ok with some solid performances.
