Easily one of the best action movies ever, on par with the first Crank, Commando, T2, Rambo IV etc. Just awesome.
Crank is jut pure entertainment value, non-stop action from the beginning till the end and really fun, it does not try to be an art movie or serious drama or anything deep. That's why I rate it 10/10. Just another genre of action than T2 science fiction action.

Pi wasn't too bad, but rating it higher than Clockwork Orange is... well, they could have dropped in just about any obscure or arcane profession without explanation in place of 'number theorist' (which is rarely found outside academia) and run fewer risks of factual mistakes like an error in the first few digits of pi or using the wrong letter for the Golden Ratio. It was interesting as a thriller, but the mathematics were about as deep as the computing concepts in Antitrust, if even that...
Clockwork Orange, on the other hand, is a work of sheer fucking brilliance whose only faults are things changed for legal reasons (actresses/actors of legal age to appear nude) or the absence of the 'real' ending Burgess thought was so critical. If it's taken just as a random violent film with nudity and not thought about, it certainly doesn't seem too great - but the whole thing is really about the illusion of choice in dogmatic systems attempting to legislate morality arbitrarily, and it does a very good job of showing the flaws of many parts of pop sociology through the problems that arose from the Ludovico technique...
... fuck this, I need to shut up before I sound like a goddamned literary analyst.
On a side note, it seems that there are a lot more ratings in the upper half of the scale than I'd expect, are people just afraid of 2 for some reason?

Shame on you for rating mulholland drive and lost highway so low, seriously.
and as for crank? you can have pure entertainment value and non stop explosions and effects and all that bullshit while maintaining some degree of character development. terminator 2 is probably the best action movie EVER for this very reason. even if john connor is a little fuckwit in that film, there's still form of progression there.
if i cant be brought to care about a characters conflict, then the whole thing just becomes an excercise in pointlessness.

knew nothing of it, other than that the movie was good.
I rated it kinda low, it was alright but wouldn't watch it again.
Lost points for being 2h 45 long and lack of pants.

no they didnt 
too much creative liberty taken
was the slow-mo really needed? was the extra blood and gore that wasnt in the book really needed? was the batman voice really needed? was giving ozymandias (who is just a man, keep in mind) super strength really needed?
i appreciate that they needed to cut stuff out, i dont appreciate all the extra shit that got added that's just zack snyder's own personal masturbation material.
it's got the heart intact at least, just as the comic was a subversion of superhero comics of the time, the movie is a subversion of modern superhero movies, and i respect that.
