The Official Movie Thread

Finally saw Thor, and like everyone else it seems, I was pleasantly surprised.  Some great performances, especially from Anthony Hopkins and the dude that played Loki.  A little over the top at times, but they are ostensibly divine royalty.  Some extra drama is to be expected.
 
Planet of the Apes was amazing, close to tears a couple of times, laughed at times and was fascinated by the action.

Solid 8.5/10 for it's genre.

Friends With Benefits was one of my favorite films of the year so far, really funny and danced around the usual cliche's with some panache.  It was refreshing to see two people in Kunis and Timberlake who had sizzling chemistry at times too.

Wow, completely opposite opinion.  I thought it was awful and I liked Captain America (not a great movie, but a decent enough action flick with a reasonable segway into the Avengers for next year).

Damn. I had hopes. Still worth the download or no?

I'd still give it a watch. Deebo and others have every right to not like it, but the majority of critics (79% on RottenTomatoes) and general audience members (80%) have enjoyed it. I for one thought it was terrific. My second favourite Marvel movie for sure (Iron Man being first).

It was my 2nd favourite movie of the year until last night when I watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I went into it with pretty high expectations and it definitely surpassed them.

Cool. I'll probably get to it next weekend.

I thought it was full of lame one liners and boring action sequences, but i've never really been a fan of the marvel movies.

If you liked the Iron Man movies, you'll probably like this one... just not my cup of tea.

One marvel one I did like was X-Men first class.

Yeah, I'll probably enjoy Capt. America then... and I did enjoy X-Men first class too.  - Partly because I had no idea Kevin Bacon was in it... Speaking of Bacon, Animal House was on the tube the other day. I had forgotten he was in it. Man, he's been around a loooooooooooooong time!   
 
So...if I were to go to a flick this week, what should I see?

Cowboys vs. Aliens
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Capt. America


I'm leaning towards Rise, myself...but know nothing at all about Cowboys.

Apes by a mile.
 
I didn't really like the Planet of the Apes.  At the end of the movie I thought, "I leave here with exactly what a small review in the paper said the movie was about.  Into to characters and how they got there.  Not much story, weak acting.  The facial expressions on the apes were pretty good.  Some body language was pretty corny.
 
For those who haven't seen "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"... here's the trailer website....
