filmmusic 1,822 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Well it's not a guy, but a girl! Maybe that's why she didn't like it?I don't know.I haven't seen ANY of the movies in this list.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 CLOUD ATLAS's biggest crime is that is one of those annual 'philosopher' flicks ('sorcerer' for the us citizens?) that present kitchen calendar wisdoms as deep and heavy stuff to think about.Apart from that it's well made and a feast for the eyes. I'm certain JOHN CARTER is a bigger chore to sit through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,249 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 John Carter's the only movie on that list I've seen, and I enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,973 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Haven't see Cloud Atlas (as it opens in February), but John Carter is far from terrible. Nothing groundbreaking or fresh, but enjoyable in any case.People seem to confuse the film with its marketing campaign, it seems. Why this doesn't even remotely surprise me?Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Atlas was far from perfect, but it was enjoyable to watch, certainly more than John Carter (which again isn't a bad movie, but as publicist said, its a chore to sit through).

Wojo 2,453 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 One For The Money is the only one on that list that I've seen. I'm not a very good critic of moives, but I know I'll never watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,973 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 RT consensus says: Its sprawling, ambitious blend of thought-provoking narrative and eye-catching visuals will prove too unwieldy for some, but the sheer size and scope of Cloud Atlas are all but impossible to ignore.Doesn't sound bad.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewdog1 50 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I thoroughly enjoyed John Carter. Also the Odd Life of Timothy Green is a very good movie. What a completely asinine list. Sent from Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie_twinkle 48 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 John Carter was bloody awful. The worst film I've seen in a long time. A film completely devoid of atmosphere, pacing, and interest. I couldn't wait for it to end. Anyone defending this piece of crap makes me despair for the future of film-making.Cloud Atlas had its faults, but ultimately it was a hugely entertaining film.

A24 4,323 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 John Carter certainly doesn't look like a film I want to see.Cloud Atlas might have its moments. At least, it looks like a film with ambition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,624 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 John Carter wasn't bad, and I'm sure Cloud Atlas isn't eitherHere's the worse movies I've seen this year. Soulless films that don't entertain on any level.Total RecallDark ShadowsGhost rider 2Underworld 4And that's from someone who thinks Battleship was alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,301 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 The biggest mistake of John Carter is that it mixes too many of the books. It ruins some good points of the original book and manages to fix some of the worst from the book by ignoring that completely. It's a mixed bag. It's however less embarrassing to watch than other recent takes on its "genre" so to speak. The film manages to crack a few moments where magic comes through.In the books there were other alternatives that would have been more surprising for a first film instead of Stanton's random take on the Sith lords. The idea of an atmosphere factory that breaks down, for example. John Carter is a constant show off of things that could have been awesome if they'd stopped to think about what they had there, but I believe they their mind too occupied on sequels. For example, the violent, barbaric, almost over the top nature of the Thark could have been explored more, and it could have been really fun. But the problem with the film is that everything feels like a side character in its own film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Like Alatriste film.For someone who never read the books, the film is bewildering. Whole plot lines and characters appear and disappear at random... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,664 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Only seen John Carter, and for the enjoyment I got from it, it deserves that place.Had the sound not been deafeningly loud (we were too close to the screen - it was a preview screening and the good seats reserved for 'press'), I'd have taken a nap somewhere around the scene with the monsters in the arena. That gives an idea of how engaged I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,323 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I switched off Alatriste after 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolltide1017 43 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Any "worst movies of the year" list that doesn't include Twilight is a complete joke. Joni Wiljami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,645 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I think such lists also depend on what the films were trying to be. And I doubt the folks behind Twilight wanted it to be more than it ended up being.And Dark Knight Rises is a fantastic film. Claiming otherwise is really, really stupid.

King Mark 3,624 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 The Dark Knight had at least the great performance by Health Ledger, otherwise the story and editing was a mess.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 It's really not difficult in any sense of the word to follow Christopher Nolan's plots. I never understood that complaint. Expansive? Yes, they typically are, but always simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
