What was the last Movie you saw... Part III

[Tyr66]

I expected worse. not really a bad movie with some good moments despite too many touches of humor sometimes welcome often useless. But when will they stop wanting to bring something new to each new sequel? Just the essential ingredients : An original Predator, lonely and especially ruthless, loaded with sophiticated weapons facing a group of men trapped in a hostile environment.
No more grotesque genetic manipulations, no Giger's Aliens, no children or teens, no Predator under scientific tests, no alien dogs or bullshit like that. just a Predator wanting to exterminate men fighting for their survival, without making shitty jokes.
6/10

Had not seen this in over 15 years.  Still enjoyable. 7.5/10

A frustrated son tries to determine the fact from fiction in his dying father's life.  The film has good reviews, but I found it slow and boring. 4/10

A successful writer in the midst of a painful divorce is stalked at his remote lake house by a would-be scribe who accuses him of plagiarism. 6.5/10

A frustrated son tries to determine the fact from fiction in his dying father's life.  The film has good reviews, but I found it slow and boring. 4/10

I found it to be (yet another) Tim Burton film aimed primarily at Tim Burton fans. Fans are gonna love it, non-fans are gonna look at the fans and ask, "Seriously?"

[Typhon]

A young man, much to the chagrin of his father, becomes the new assistant to an illusionist who is unaware that his career is in decline.  A brilliant performance by Malkovich, many laughs from start to finish. 9/10

[Thelemech]

This was a great movie and Robert Downey Jr is very good as the lead and is surrounded by other very capable actors/actresses  8.5/10

[Typhon]

A secret Service agent and a news reporter investigate the conspiracy behind the assassination of the President.  Nothing extraordinary here. 5/10

[Typhon]

A workaholic attorney is forced to reinvent her life after her husband suddenly leaves.  Good performances. 8/10

RAMBO - The Last Blood

John J. Rambo has been living a quiet life on his father's old farm with the care taker of his father and her grand daughter Gabrielle for the past 10 years trying to cope with his demons. He has grown to love them like they'd be his own family which he never had. Then Garbrielle wants to find her father who lives in Mexico, and against Rambo's wishes she goes only to be captured by members of a vicious human trafficer drug cartel. Rambo goes to her rescue which doesn't quite go as planned.

After facing a tragedy that touches him closer than anything before Rambo must one last time unleash the beast within and this time the war comes to his home, which he will defend the only way that he can. With the utmost brutality and passion.

This is the most dramatic and touching out of all the Rambo movies. This time it is personal.
Sylvester Stallone portrays the agony that Rambo endures here more touchingly than ever before. The undertone of this movie is not action but sadness and pain. You can sense and feel the profound sadness and loss in every single shot of Sly's face. And it makes you feel it too.

There is no mindless action here, there is only actions brought out of loss and pain. Rambo morphs from a perfect soldier to an angel of vengeance. Showing the vicious drug cartel what true justified revenge looks like...and it's not pretty.

After the bigger flashier and grander scale of war in movies 2-4 this bring things back to more close quarter combat with Rambo doing what he does best...close and personal (in both meanings of the word) gorilla warfare which was present in the first movie.

The violence here is extreme, but even in all of it's goriness it all serves a purpose once again. Fighting pure evil you must be part evil yourself. You can't help but smile at all the ingenious booby traps and ways Rambo finds to kill off the bad guys one by one while blasting The Doors' Five To One on his stereo system. That whole scene is pure violence art there is no other way around it.

A perfect ending to a near perfect movie series. The ultimate swan song to one of the greatest action icons and anti-heroes of all time, Rambo CAN be a monster if he is pushed into it. But he NEVER draws first blood...but he will be the one who will draw the last blood.

I don't entirely agree with your praise for the film, yes it was an enjoyable romp, but it was oh so predictable, as soon as Gabrielle goes off to Mexico I knew "exactly" what was going to happen during the rest of the film... there was no surprise - the writers did a poor job.

It also felt a little cheaply done, and the baddies were dumb (yes, I know they always are!!). And really what was the point of the journalist after the first encounter? Lastly, it was incredibly short, the run time of 1:29 includes c10 minutes of closing credits! Don't get me wrong it was quite good but a little shoddy in places. 6.5/10

[Jack the Stripper]

^Yeah I'm in no hurry to see Last Blood from what I've been hearing about it.

Have you seen The Joker movie Kilo?

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

No, it's not out here until 4th October, but I'm "really" looking forward to it.

Are not all of those predictable?

Aren't all movies more or less predictable...especially in action genre. Isn't that part of the whole point?
