Re: What was the last movie you watched?
I have to agree with you on that, Max. I expected all the time that T3 would be a terrible movie, but I was surprised. But I still have to say, I think the plot was filled with holes and the casting for John Conner was DISASTROUS, I wanted to hurt a small fluffy animal ever time he came on screen. The action was definitely the huge plus point with that movie, and I didn't expect the cgi to be that good. Anyways...
Sherlock Holmes
Yes, this is the third time seeing it for me! I still really enjoyed it, and I'd be willing to see it a fourth time! And it's not just because I love Sherlock Holmes but I think by itself, it's a well made film. And in many ways, in my opinion, it isn't the Sherlock Holmes movie. But it's the closest to it so far. Although Robert Downey Jr.'s speaking was reminiscent of Christian Bale's voice in Batman, being hard to follow and he just doesn't seem like the first person that comes to your mind when you think of an actor to play SH, but I love the creativity he had with the character. Jude Law was also great, but they weren't really accurate to the books when it comes to his character and that makes me mad, he just always seemed cranky to be around Holmes and that was not at all the way he was in the books, in fact, in the books he was excited when Sherlock Holmes wanted him to come along with him to solve another case. I think casting him was great though. Every other time I've seen someone play Waston, he's a fat, old guy, when in the books, he actually is not like that very much at all. And although I enjoyed the passe of the film, something in it felt wrong, like it was missing things. And it's true, it is missing scenes (or they're alternate scenes) if you look in the trailer there's quite a few things that looked like they were edited out. And that's why I want the DVD. ;P
Great action too, although at times action scenes could have definitely have been left out and I still would have been in to the movie. And it did get ridiculous a bit, like the ending (sigh, does every movie really have to end with a fight scene between the two main good guy and bad guy? I think I mentioned this before
). I view this more as a Batman and Robin type theme of a movie, and I think it works really well if you look at it that way. And did I mention I think the Score is the greatest thing to come around in decades?
