Anyone seen a good movie lately?

[Seabiscuit36]

I think you suck

after.life: The movie begins with Christina Ricci getting drilled by the "I'm a mac" guy and then spends 80% of the movie either naked or in a red silk nightie.  Also, there was a story.
7 1/2 stars out of 5

Alice In Wonderland - whole movie dragged because the story just isn't there although they somehow do a decent job of tying it up in the end. Probably would have been a better idea to re-do the original rather than going with a sequel.

I had no idea going in that it was a sequel, so I was expecting a some what similar story line to the original, which confused the crap out of me for the first 20 or 30 minutes.  But yeah, it did pretty much drag on and I had no idea where the thing was going until everything got tied in at the end.  And even then, I was still disappointed.

I've tried really hard to remain a Tim Burton fan but the more movies he makes, the less interested I am.

[Sgt PSN]

His movies are hit or miss with me. 

[charlie]

Burton's movies seem to be better when they are original stories. His adaptations are pretty blah.

[rjs246]

Yeah, I'll buy that.

[ice grillin you]

id say hes done relatively well with adaptations....i havent seen all these but combining my opinion with critical acclaim this is the list....even if you have issues with some parts of it or iv e missed some hes at worst 50/50 on adapts


the good
batman
from hell
sleepy hollow
willy wonka
mars attacks


the bad
planet of the apes
alice in wonderland

[charlie]

He didn't do From Hell, that was just Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp/Tim Burton movies: Sleepy Hallow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Ed Wood, Alice in Wonderland, Sweeney Todd, Edward Scissorhands

[Sgt PSN]

Not to mention that I saw Mars Attacks when it came out and thought it was awful.  I'd imagine it still is.  Maybe even worse. 

[rjs246]

Planet of the Apes and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory were just atrocious.

Sleepy Hollow was meh, mostly not good. I haven't seen Alice in Wonderland but don't really care to.

I did enjoy Sweeney Todd, by and large. Loved Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice and Mars Attacks. Seriously Mars Attacks is a farging classic of intentionally, hilariously bad movie-making. Batman is Batman. Still enjoy it but not nearly as much as when it first came out.

[ice grillin you]

ive never seen mars attacks but it got really good reviews....im sure it doesnt appeal to everyone but its def not a miss

and even if you take out from hell hes still around .500 with his adaptations....but i thought you were just talking burton movies not depp burton movies

[SunMo]

King of Queens awful.

[rjs246]
