Scorpion King 2

I liked this movie. I think the storyline was better than the first Scorpion King. If this movie would of had the same funding it could have been much better. The visuals were fair.

Is this the same Scorpion King from the Mummy series?

And for anybody that cares, I am writing a paper on Aguirre, the Wrath of God.

Yes, it is a prequel to the Scorpion King with The Rock in it.

It is difficult for me to find a movie that is really worth watching. But I must see 'Requiem For a Dream' again asap, I really enjoyed that.

 

[Janga666]

no shit. Ledger owned the fuck out him. Spot on Joker.

Have you seen the older version of Batman with Nicholson as The Joker? He just had more charisma than Ledger. I found with Ledger's performance he was trying too hard to act like a fucked up anti-hero. It came naturally to Nicholson.

I was disapointed with it and found it really average. I really liked Jennifer Connely though because she's mindblowingly hawt and sexay

honestly rly average movie

You have to understand that there are two primary interpretations of the Joker in actual Batman lore. We have the silly lol criminal who most people are familiar with, who is zany and wild but not all that threatening or dangerous, and then we have the ultra-fucked up, deranged, homicidal, sociopath mass murderer joker who kills children and does what he does for the shear joy of it. The first Joker I mentioned is not all together very interesting, but the second joker is badass and that is why regardless of who played the character, the more fucked up interpretation of Joker will always be cooler. I am sure Krig can back me up on this.

Ok, I agree that it is really 2 different characters... but that still doesn't make up for how the movie was just not good (imo). The original batman movie dirceted by Tim Burton was just better. The screenplay was better, and the actors were better (with maybe the exception of Nicholson and Ledger in lieu of the Joker debate).

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Ledger's Joker was much better. But Nicholson is still a God.

 

[DarkBliss]

I liked Jennifer Connely in Dark Water. A really cool and gloomy thriller. I generally just like the actress. She's got this magnetic screen presence. I can say the same thing about Juliette Lewis and Angela Bettis.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Connelly is great, definitely a big favorite of mine.. but as with most of the American interpretations of Japanese thrillers, 'Dark Water' was pretty much a turd I thought..

 

[DarkBliss]

Well, it was definitely drawing inspiration from the Ring but I thouight it was much better than the American remakes of that movie
which were utterly dreadful.

 

[Evil?]

Dark Water is a remake of a Japanese film. Also Jennifer Connely is super hot.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Oddly enough that one is about the only one I really truly like..love even. 'The Ring 2' is a different story and should never be seen again by anybody.

 

[Burning In Hell]

The Ring 2 was pretty horrible.

The original Ringu was awesome.

Sukiyaki Western Django - Latest Miike film to hit DVD. This one I should have watched with subs on. Even though they are speaking English, their accents are way hard to understand. It wasn't bad.

Dark City - Pretty good sci-fi flick. Interesting premise and decent special effects.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Dark City! Another Connelly movie... Good stuff, though a bit awkward in some places..


Kiefer Sutherland is incredible in it, also..

 

[no country for old wainds]

dark city is ok

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Hellboy II - Visually stunning movie. Del Toro has one of the greatest imaginations out there and I look forward to The Hobbitt. The plot left me feeling a little empty but it's a popcorn flick so I have to turn off my inner critic and enjoy.

Hellboy II was ok, the look was fucking badass.

I really want to see this movie. Randy Couture!!!
the first movie was terrible, btw.

yes, I've seen Batman plenty of times, and I own it.
goofy Joker is just that, goofy. No one will ever touch the magic that Ledger put into the Joker. It's exactly what I wanted to see in a badguy.
Someone who doesnt give a fuck about anyone. an actual badguy.
