One word movie reviews.

edited January 2013 in General Movies & TV Posts: 2,782
As I become older, I find myself overloaded with information. I can't be bothered with reading film reviews anymore. Most are trying to be different for the sake of being different (See the Guardian film section), some reviewers are tied in with the film companies so hardly impartial.

I though it would be good, if you're like me, whether we can get to the heart of the matter. One word is all we need to entice us or put us off from going to the cinema or DL a movie.

Yes I know there are similar movie review threads but not like this one and I think there is a place for something like this.

I'll start it off (providing the mods and rockers let it live):


Zero Dark Thirty.

Osamariffic!

Looper.
Fanfookingtastic.

Prometheus.
Eyegasmic.

    The movies I have watched for the first time this year:

    I thought I would go for a Star Wars theme:

    The Phantom Menace - Irrelevant
    Attack of the Clones - Yoda!
    Revenge of the Sith - Okay
    A New Hope - Classic
    Empire Strikes Back - Overrated
    Return of the Jedi - Brilliance

    Now for the films I've seen this year, at the cinema:

    The Avengers - Epic
    The Dark Knight Rises - Excellent
    Ted - Funny
    Expendables 2 - Disappointing
    Total Recall - Meh
    The Sweeney - Over-hyped
    Jack Reacher - Average

    I would put Skyfall here but there's already a thread for James Bond films in one word: http://www.mi6community.com/index.php?p=/discussion/1104/describe-the-bond-films-in-one-word/

    I'm so incredibly close to agreeing with you here. The only film we disagree on is AVTAK. I love it.

    Star Wars theme, thanks to @Ben

    The Phantom Menace- Glorious
    Attack of the Clones Cheesy
    Revenge of the Sith- Revolutionary
    A New Hope- Groundbreaking
    The Empire Strikes Back- Golden
    Return of the Jedi- Revelation

    EDIT: I'll add Batman as well!

    Batman (1989)- Breathtaking
    Batman Returns- Twisted
    Batman Forever- Spectacular
    Batman and Robin- No
    Batman Begins- Inspired
    The Dark Knight- TRASH

    *Have not yet seen The Dark Knight Rises, but given the utter dump we were afforded by the disgraceful The Dark Knight, I do not imagine it is any better.
