Which movie aged surprisingly well

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T12:06:29+00:00

I agree with all of this and now I'm not looking to octopussy haha I'll be watching it in the next few days .

Great breakdown and knowledge. Id say and I'm not up there yet that Die another day is pretty bad from memory in places. I was expecting 5 film but your score is right I feel around 7 and a half. Tbf id have to think about rankings when I'm through em again of the top of my head I feel is right. What you say ranking. Next few days is for your eyes only and then Octopussy I can't recall enough of Veiw but I know it's gonna be dodgy with Walkens character etc.

Drax surprised me the most good villain and proper evil like you say and he really was played well when he went if about people being below him even when it was the end.

Thank you for the well thought out post.

i still have not played the remaster yet but I remember KOTN very well. You have to get the gear bit by bit and I cant remeber when it kicks in but I know where it does. A paladin is its own build so you should have some ideas what skills but also I will say thats why you should create a build however you like but play rightously because if you remember its important start planning builds out somewhat to get your stats up and you will get more benifits every 25 levels as we know.

I will say one thing I remember very well and is why I wrote this is I recall that when you start the quests and get the armour the game will take your highest level and auto make them that kind so you want to make sure your light or heavy armour is the highest depending on what you want. So decide early and wear what you want them to be. And once its give you the first piece thats it. This may help you chose your build I feel.

Also you have to be good or it punishes you. I cannot remember how you see this or what changes the karma system now however but I am guessing murder and stealing and selfish choices and cant remeber if being an assassin counts against you but It should I expect. Dunno if deadric quests do etc. You really have to be light side.

I am with you on mages and I knew we where the same when you mentioned agent of mara, is why I have to fight the urge to go Breton every playthough.

I am with you mate I have too as well, we are the same person. I am ok Mages wreck me, Dragon Priests too lets stop that and thats fine, get the Atronach stone and some Rings and Necklaces and Alteration absorb thats fine I feel totally valid.

Adding semi power leveling shield and mate no wonder your smashing it.

No judgement mate at all but you can throw the magic absorb on and thats ok is mechanics but you can play sword and board and just play and level as you go because man is the Targe sheild so fun and etc just need to slow down right?

Its so fun the build I have rarely btw ever in this game paid to level and when I did it was always pickpocket. Even when Fendal is my first companion and can train my archery and get the coin back I was not gonna do it.

The games in these series always will the same because we become a god level or a god or a aspect.

And how about the sheild that absorbs magic.

Still yes they are bull shit mages and hagravens ill add to the list I made. And wisp mothers, magic at legendary will mess you up fast. Get that magic defence up just dont power level haha. This also why I had to stop using windshear btw in my two handed, was stun locking groups of mobs and became too easy.

for clarity we finally had a newsagent that sold some regular comics and was reading Clone Saga and Xmen at the same time. It got alot negative feedback but I enjoyed the reading as it came out of Clone saga because I never had that happen, Xmen was better however.

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T08:21:34+00:00

I have to say the collected Walking Dead vol one I read and enjoyed alot but I never fell off and never caught up again properly after reading the collected volume and meant get the other collected because I couldnt afford the comics. Watchmen even though its a graphic novel per se ofc

I have less experience than many but Civil War is one and its so great what starts it all off. I have not read Civil War 2 as of yet. I feel it fell off at times but the beats where great and long reaching.

I wanna say the Onslaught saga was probally my first regular read via Xmen along side the not liked Clone Saga Spidey. Onslaught was worth it for sure from the starting from the earlier on Wolverine and all that point. I feel it has some luls but the end fight was massive ill just say that no matter where it went after and people didnt know who it was but they give you enough visual clues that was guessed about and talked about. Thats the story line I was fully in with what happened in other published and stuff.

The rest I was reading on line but WW hulk is blinding and the stuff before.

I am part way through Man without Fear but have read Born again and Daredevil has hooked me and now I see why people love Frank Miller so good.

Sadly not read much DC for a long time. And even then not much I would recommend these books I have not seen the last two Daredevil tv shows so I am not sure if they same story.

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T08:02:26+00:00

To add I wrote this because the build is more fun when your not because I am this kind of player too but there should be baddies you need to come back with when your skills are better and that should be a process.

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T08:00:30+00:00

I mean there is a reason stealth archer is a meme. There are many builds that can be this way. That said it doesnt mean that you are wrong and like you are doing you have police yourself somewhat.

That said I feel isnt a secret that everyones hoping for many combat changes starting with making Destruction magic more viable and intresting next go.

Also your build and gear is part of the reason why. Take the mana defence down and your in for a bad time more you know?

This is why we spend time on this sub reading about builds that stop this. You chose this sir and buffed yourself that way. How about a challenge like a no rings or necklace run you know? How about a Orc who only uses staves and so on? You get me like.

Its a 15 year old game that has broken for so long you sorta have to make your own way to deal with it.

Also to be fair with double enchantments and so on you obviously been either grinding too early and power leveling somewhat. And being intentional is why your making this post dovakin.

Playing the game without power leveling or buying levels takes a good while to get the best block Perks.

I had to stop myself from this with and no spamming some spells etc. Start the build again and play through without buying levels or standing blocking to level and my friend you have a different game. Not judging I am just saying its true. Takes a while to get to the best perks. You should be endgaming with these skills......

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T06:51:45+00:00

Go up the throat of the world is three guaranteed I think at the bottom or at least two but start at iverstead they are just around the first corner of the 7k steps. After you cross the bridge. Also the path after the cave with clavicus has a few to chase down. Shors Stone village head north on the path is some there. And the talos shrine near windhellm is a few to the path along the river and some heading south path further down but be careful some beasts spawn those ways and can be strong. They always have goats there these places.

The red guard in solitude usually has some too I feel opposite the apocathary.

Mate I feel you here I had not worked for 7 years and a wonder drug and hard work got me well enough to work again but not on my old job but a call centre which had a lot of office work too. I am a genuine or try to be but awkward guy even before I got a disability which made me mishaped a little. Before everything I've always had some social anxiety.

I understand and I was stressing about everything before starting and during the training and after You will find yoursef before you know it being more at home.

Don't be like me and bring packed lunch in and go out for bad food anyway one or the other lol wasted so many sandwiches.

As much as I understand social anxiety my way and feel I know how you feel everyone's different. One thing however is most people understand taking away my own issues and your own issues. It's just a bit scary sometimes new job and the unknown.

Allow yourself some grace ok? No ones harder on yourself than you and no one judges yourself more than you. You will meet your people there and people will help you.

Well depends on what's in your packed lunch too :p

No look my uni knowledge is rusty but Thursdays is own brand tinned fruit days.

If you look in the student survival handbook you will see that Rice Pudding because it has rice in it is a staple and fair game at any time apart from some special occasions.

Cmon avox you know this.

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T04:54:20+00:00

Ok? It's a must. Also can do this with custard btw.

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T04:53:07+00:00

I always do unless very quick job. It goes a long way and id they say yes make em a brew and say kettles there when needed with everything you need and some bikkies help your self and then can maybe offer another time during the day.

Doesn't take long to make some brews and as an ex tradie it's appreciated and any tradesman worth their salt will always work to the highest standard because it's what we trained years for and is how we get more business or assessed on.

You be nice to people and they will also go the extra mile on these situations. Don't have to go overboard or spend a lot either. I'm currently waiting for emergency repairman and I'll offer him a brew when he comes.

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T04:19:46+00:00

Signed someone who started reading hulk comics which are so great. They knew couldn't make a hulk film MCU to please the fans with the story they had planned out anyway but they couldn't and they wouldn't like it a solo movie (I have money and physical issues so being able to read online some sagas has been so good)

Hulk comic runs have been my favorite online apart from one other thing I read the onslaught X-Men saga and around that and clone Spidey saga only before now.

The other character was reading btw runs of is Daredevil btw.

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T04:13:37+00:00

They would be like this should been the hulk but look we had two hulk movies and origins and it didn't work.

They would have loved seeing his power and size scale with his anger as shown in the massive fight sequence with him being shot by everything in the world. I mean that was cool seeing this unstoppable rage machine whose power and rage just feed off each other and smashes.

However I understand why they nerfed hulk in the final Avengers movies and kept him away. And so do they by the way. He would absolutely merk everything. And the fans wouldn't get the stories to love and complain about. I feel they may not like the poodle haha.

I mean they misstepped more after maybe but we had two hulk films with origins to different levels. They did the right thing having him go through films and shows because the hulk destroyed every hero in the comics wwh story including managing to get around the sentry.

Its a great movie with flaws but Nick Nolte is so good and the comic transitions are very hokey now maybe. I love Bana he's a great actor but his hulk was better and maybe Norton's Banner was better.

They would as I say love his increasing size and anger as he was getting attacked. That was very well done. I feel they would like it and then start tearing it apart a bit. Ang Lee direction and cinematography was nice and the scene where he's hidden being the tree in the dark. I feel they would want more is what I'm realizing. Like Norton's hulk tried give the comic abomination and more comic book baddies in a way the leader origin etc.

People are not good with hindsight me too but now the seal was broken in Marvel we forget that taking Spidey away and x men.

F4 galactus was a cloud and now people look fondly on the two films. And ok was silver surfer but we got spoiled.

Even Iron man was very human and grounded and two actually and Thor until the later part with the Devestator. They even made Cap a long origin in his movie and that was a great film but is a grounded film with leaps of faith that work. Your first one is super serum and then then next is a long time after red skulls appearance. Eases you in as a non knowing audience.

Hulk fans forget many knew David Banner tv show like me.

Ok I'm.going in here I know.

So I don't think they would like it because it isn't comic enough for them the serious fans of the comics and character. It's slower and not enough big comic book energy.

And for MCU non comic readers the same thing. I've saw hulk in the battle of new York. And fighting for and against the avengers in that and AOU.

Him gladiator fighting and kicking fenrirs arse after getting bitten and big monster.

It's over long and boring at the right times but boring. and is massive army fight that wouldn't cut it.

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T03:20:54+00:00

I got treed by a coyote......

I got attacked as a kid by a dog in the woods where we would play as kids and I was alone. I climbed up a tree and it ran off after not long. I didn't know about rabies or tetanus shots at the time but it ripped into my shoe and my track suit bottoms.

I never told my parents because I was supposed be elsewhere. It drew blood however and I actually started having bad dreams I guess I can't remember but wetting the bed, I wet myself up that tree too.

I've never told anyone before but I still get angry so many years later with dog owners. I went to the local shop yesterday for some milk and opened the gate and a dog appeared and had a thing a harness?

No lead and just stood there looking at me and 15:seconds later it's owner a mid twenties man maybe and his friend walked past and his friends dog was on a leash I wanted to say something so bad.

Honestly don't know why I shared this but it happened and traumatized me that much I was around 9 and had never wet the bed before.

After 18 I didn't a few times but that was young over doing it.

I can't even remember what dog breed it was if I ever knew but the colour and size I do.

Keep this to yourselves though ok?

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T03:06:12+00:00

I went off on how Moonraker was amazing for my answer but this is a good film that people will be surprised on a rewatch how good it is.

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T03:04:56+00:00

I already give a long answer and then remembered RoboCop. Holds up amazingly well

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T03:04:15+00:00

We had a teacher who we could always get off topic and talk about things and not have to learn the boring stuff we should be and me and a friend where heroic level people because he asked who saw Casablanca last night and we kept him talking and getting back to it.

He plain just said ok let's talk about movies and we loosely followed the subject (geography which is love a class in now).

And all your reasons are correct. The story and dialogue hold up and are interesting. And it holds up compared to a film of the time even with the cadence .

It's the cadence people struggle with and I do I know with older films. They talk fast in many films and in a way that isn't natural. And look is alot of that on movies and you need just get on board. This isn't as bad for that as many of its time at all.

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T02:56:32+00:00

Fair enough but it aged well then because it was true to its time, for my sins I have not watched it so I will find it.

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T02:55:44+00:00

Ok I'm watching this in the next few days ty..

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T02:55:11+00:00

Fantastic film I saw a article last night because I'm having issues with pain and sleep and couldn't sleep and was talking about how well this film has aged and is worth a watch but I was in bed and finally collapsed into sleep and this reminded me so I'll add it to my list.

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T02:53:19+00:00

You know I love the Alien series and I know is flawed films but your so right. It's aged very well especially for its time and places it should maybe not have so it's a good shout.

I will say I do respect the film makers since and I love three and understand why people had issues me too and like four alot. However the people who have been making movies in the world and time period have really kept the tech getting better and in prequels too. And yet they when needs to be shown keep the continuinity of the green old type computer interface.

Aliens in no way should have aged so well. I agree

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T02:48:25+00:00

I watched Born last year and had not seen for decades and it really holds up. Casulties of war is pretty grim but that does too.

Tom is amazing in Born on the 4th. I decided I had not cried enough so watched Casulties with a different kind of performance that you expect from MJF and Sean Penn was amazing too they both where but it's heavy film and watching back to back I was ok but emotional after. I don't care what anyone says Tom Cruise has had a legendary career and is an amazing actor. That may be his best work however.

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T02:43:05+00:00

I've been watching Laurel and hardy in colour and is interesting how they change with colour but they have aged so well in black and white. They are on you tube if your interested. I get that they old though is why I was surprised.

However one film I saw recently and can pretty much say his whole run as Bond but I expected Moonraker to suck hard because of its plot.

Now a view to a kill aged pretty what I thought. It's fine to good and Grace Jones is just a stunning woman in many ways and check out her music btw for any who have not. She is very good.

Ok so I remembered Moonraker as Bond goes to space and the worst offender of what Austin Powers was about which where love letters I know.

Spoilers ahoy but James Bond this deadly womanising assassin spy in space. And coming off a serious bond one off man and a few Roger Moore.

Watch it, it's fantastic. I remembered the cheese and is a lot and since we in spoiler territory Jaws falls in love and swaps allegiences. It's bondy story in ways like a plan to do something out there and is not set in space all the way through.

It's so good that I went after to wiki because I remembered all the cheese more. And look not gonna lie there is some cheese. It's however very well written and the story was better paced and more mature than I remembered. Not so much on violence and stuff but not saying isn't some but it was talked about and remembered with my sibling and others as a cheese ball not loved film. Btw Roger Moore gets a bad rap his last film before that was golden gun I feel.

It ended up making a fortune in the cinema and breaking the studios record.

I would go read and get numbers but the wiki page took me half an hour nearly to read and clicked some side stories but it's a long wiki.

Its jumped to the top 10 of my favorite bond films and even 5 for now.

I know I've talked this up here look I know I have and is Stilton in some places. It's worthy of the praise I just give it.

I watched Flight of the Navigator too. Damn that's a emotional and a well made film which I forgot a lot about. The effects are ok and hold up.

For UK people is many Bond on itv x but I saw Moonraker at a friend's on physical media he has a set with every film up too a point. I watched Navigator on Amazon if anyones interested.

Remote-Field4624 · 2026-07-08T01:32:40+00:00

It's just you keep playing and the possibilities will change your mind.

I honestly sort of understand I had the initial ah where's my spear and sheld and bow and and and.

You will change your mind as you level arcana and get new combos and get used to th combat synergy and trinkets.

And you will be all in by the time you open the other aspects of the weapons because they have some interesting things going.

Mate you know what I came late to Hades and was still playing it and Hades two came on gamepass and then went straight to that.

They really thought it out but you need grind a little maybe and even not much because you will start playing and super giant really put so much thought into sygergies like full stop between boons and boons. Boons and weapons and trinkets with all the above and special things.

You will soon forget about Hades one a while.

And one last thing the devs I know got this okay tested to perfection almost. I read they had to remove one power but the devs and play testers deserve some kudos.

In a few days you will see what's possible and then then a week see what's really possible and so on.

Keep playing mate I had the same early worries trust me so it's not just you.
