There's a few movies out at the moment I want to see but just don't have the time

Watched Kick-Ass 2 finally. There were a few good laughs in there but it didn't have anywhere near the heart of the first one. The overall message was sort of despicable, I think, but oh well. It was fun in a mindless way.

I have the original film still sitting on my shelf, waiting to be watched.   

@Balla: Might have to check Frozen out on your recommendation. Probably a 'wait for DVD' film, though.

Ooh, definitely watch the original Kick-Ass. It's great fun.

There seems to be lot's I want to watch at the moment just come out in the last month or so on Blu Ray like,

2 Guns
Gatsby
Bling Ring
Now You See Me
Pacific Rim
Kick-Ass 2

Just to name a few, but with sky movies now I can't really bothered to buy any.

And Mark Strong is in it. *purr*

I'm seeing The Hobbit 2 tonight but just seen the trailer for the new Planet of the Apes, can't wait to see that.

Finally saw Hobbit last night. Very good it was too. Dragon looked amazing but obviously ate into the effects budget for the "not making Orlando bloom look completely unnatural" department.

Ooh, curious... gonna have to give that a Google...
EDIT: Seen the trailer now. Gary Oldman! I'm sold.

On Saturday I saw The Hobbit 2 in 3D. The previous time I saw it was in 2D and, for the first time ever, I felt that the 3D actually added something to the film.  Sadly I definitely feel that it was dragged out from the book. The book is definitely uneven but it is far more punchy than either film. In my memory the first film is an extended sequence of British TV actors going "Whooooooooooa!" and "Waaaaaaaaah!" as they fall off things.

I really can't wait to see Wolf of Wall Street.

You're right about it being dragged out, but TH2 only cemented my view that Martin Freeman makes most things better just by being in them. Also the first film actually had some funny bits, as opposed to the second which was ALL DEADLY SERIOUS. (To be fair, I didn't think that the first film's combination of "sweeping epic LotR2" and "funny Hobbit-like" actually worked, but I wish they'd gone the other way.)

Personally I've not had any negative thoughts about The Hobbit. Maybe it'll sink in when I rewatch it a few times.

Going off Hobbit for a second to say that The secret life of Walter Mitty aint a bad movie at all

That's not what I've heard.  But even if I hadn't, I cannot stand Ben Stiller at all.

Anyone seen or plan to see American Hustle

I was pretty put off of Walter Mitty when I went to see Thor and they showed the longest trailer to anything I've ever seen. I can't imagine there was anything left in the film to see.

Well I liked it and I really can't stand Ben Stiller these days but it was.. I don't know how to put it, it was just a good movie.

Popping up to say I agree about Martin Freeman, and also that I hope to see Walter Mitty at some point as I quite like Ben Stiller (admittedly based on Zoolander and Dodgeball).

I don't know if anyone is bothered but movie award season is starting soon only reason I bring it up as I've talked about it before with my J-Law bet. So I'm thinking if it's worth doing anything this year, I know what I would bet on to win things.

Hello everyone! I've seen everything.

On the films mentioned, Secret Life of Walter Mitty is actually quite good. I'm far from a Ben Stiller fan, as an actor or a director, but it's kinda sweet without being too saccharin and kinda funny without being jarring. Both Hobbit films are long and stupid, but maybe that's just me (Though I do agree on Martin Freeman, he makes it just about bearable). American Hustle is kinda good but very lightweight and undeserving of all the awards recognition- a bit like Silver Linings Playbook last year. Again, Jennifer Lawrence is great in it, but she only has 10-15 minutes of screentime, and you spend the rest of the film feeling rather flat, waiting for her to come on and watch the whole thing lift.

12 Years a Slave, however, is absolutely phenomenal. It's amongst the best films I've seen this decade. Everyone has to see it.

47 Ronin is a brilliant movie as well despite what the critics say

Are we chaining goats in this thread? If we get three goats in a row, will they disappear?

...damn it.

Should have let me post next, as I am the G.O.A.T.
