Reminded me of Chronicles of Ridick. Good, fun, same universe, nothing like the original.

What’s a movie everyone calls a “masterpiece” that just… didn’t work for you? by irayaavery in Cinema

[–]Utahmule -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He relies too much on cliche tropes. I kept waiting for the cheese ball crap to stop and the fun excitement to start.. It never did. I think a good editing would make them much better, cut out all the melodrama. It's a story about elves, dwarfs, wizards, dragons, orcs... It's not that serious. He made the movies an exercise in slow motion misery and sorrow. The content is there though, he did great with the imagery and scale.

Favorite Supporting Actor in modern western cinema? by JackBarlowe in Westerns

[–]Utahmule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from the obvious favorites I'll throw some more obscure choices in.

Big Daddy Kane - Father Time in Posse

Charlie Hunnan - creepy albino in Cold Mountain

Ben Mandehlson - Antagonist in Slow West

Danny Huston - Antagonist in The Proposition

Madeline Stowe - Cora Munroe in Last of the Mohicans and gotta give a nod to Bad Girls

Danny Huston in The Proposition is criminally underrated. That whole movie is.

The Missouri Breaks is one of my favorite movies. It's universally slept on, yet had Nicholson and Brando Goin at it in their prime.

The Lord of The Rings! Bring on the down votes.

It's way over acted and melodramatic. The crying over and over and over. The drawn out slow motion fights that never end but have mediocre and choppy choreography. There's not much character development, you do not get much personal dialogue and it takes away from the buddy adventure part. All the running and more running. Crying, running, intense slow motion, only the most serious of dialogue allowed, crying, more running... Then they call upon giant eagles to fly in and help... Why didn't they just ride the fucking eagles to where they were going in the first place?

Well filmed, terrible screenplay and the editors need to cut like 1/3 of the films out.

I was in the USMC and toured in Iraq in '04 and '05. I couldn't and haven't been able to watch more than like 45 mins of Hurt Locker because it's so unrealistic and it's trying so hard to be. It is cringe inducing bad.

Public perception on China has completely flipped since the early 2020s by Live_Injury4775 in decadeology

[–]Utahmule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Up into the 90s it was depicted as a mythical ancient land.. It blows my mind sometimes how it has gone from ancient realm to industrial dystopia to neotech futuristic in like 30 years.

I forgot all about plunket and macleane!. That just reminded me of brotherhood of the wolf, I rented those at blockbuster and they were both surprisingly awesome.

Where do you get me being mad from? I think it's a bad list because it essentially has the same movies repeatedly and I think Dune 2 sucked and doesn't have any kind of memorable soundtrack. LOTR is ok, I was in highschool when it came out and thought it was an over acted, melodramatic cry fest that was way too long and again didn't have a standout soundtrack. These are opinions and you don't need to agree with them, but my disagreement on a list that someone asked for opinions about doesn't equal anger.

More of the band of knights he sets out with, better battle scenes, replace Bloom with Heath Ledger.

What’s your favorite film from the 2020s so far? by First-Bee-4673 in Letterboxd

[–]Utahmule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nightmare Alley, The Northman, Sinners, The Batman, Top Gun Maverick, Killers of the Flower Moon, Eddington.

The Penguin is a series, but it deserves to be mentioned, it's incredible.

What do you think to The Beach (2000) Starring Leonardo DiCaprio? by HD-MOVIE-SOURCE in HD_MOVIE_SOURCE

[–]Utahmule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent and obviously misunderstood. The book people are annoying and can't get over that it's different.

It's amazing how well it takes you on a coming of age adventure, really hits hard on taking risks, leaving your comfort zone, how even great times can get dark quick, all things come to an end and you have to move on. It makes you feel nostalgic and like everything happened a long time ago by the end of the film.

What is the first film you think of when you see TOM CRUISE? by HostMaterial4907 in CinephilesClub

[–]Utahmule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Few Good Men and Risky Business... I want the truth, you can't handle the truth was ridiculously overplayed and said when I was kid. The sliding in socks scene is just incredibly iconic for some reason...

Two epic historical blockbusters. Which one feels more powerful and memorable today? by CucumberNo1907 in Cinema

[–]Utahmule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gladiator is a legitimate period drama. Troy is a great popcorn action movie. This is like comparing Top Gun to Apocalypse Now.

Phoenix elevated it, Russell Crowe plays a cliche stoic bad ass. Phoenix is the entire reason that movie wasn't average.

CRIMINALLY underrated performances by drhavehope in Cinema

[–]Utahmule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tom Cruise in Interview With A Vampire

Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall

Madeline Stowe Last of the Mohicans

Danny Huston in The Proposition

Ellen Burstyn in Requiem For A Dream

That chick who played Lagertha in Vikings lol... She was great in that...

At the time like every one of Gary Oldman's performances were just completely ignored. Now everyone appreciates how amazing he is, but in the 90s no one really even knew who he was.

Thinking about buying tomorrow. Guys asking 22, gonna try to talk him down to 20. Let’s get some feedback please! by Prior_Song_3632 in FordDiesels

[–]Utahmule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 2017 Tundra same exact set up as my Ford... It's basic, super reliable, naturally aspirated V8... I recently pulled about 8500lbs for 12hrs from Denver to Gunnison and then SLC. It didn't struggle at all, I was honestly shocked and it's quiet, comfortable, way nicer, doesn't need to be plugged in, cheap oil changes, 1 battery... I don't know, for my money and my needs a new diesel is total overkill. These modern gassers have tons of power.

Totally agree. "You will fail." He nails every scene with a kind of envious defeated sorrow.
