    Default Rate the movies you watched recently out of five - NO SPOILERS.

    I keep looking at threads about the latest movies and wonder "oo-er, will reading that thread spoil the movie much?" so I just don't bother. So! To keep things simple, this is a thread where you simply state the name of a movie which is currently screening and give it a rating out of five. Throw in a few words such as "utter crap" "breathtaking scenery" and "lead has a face that reminds me of my pitbull terrier" but keep all spoilers out of this thread - even when using spoiler tags! No spoilers at all is the main idea. You don't even have to say more than the movie title and rating if you don't want to. Hopefully this thread can stick around for a long time, too.

    So, with that said, I haven't seen any of the currently released movies so I'll let you guys start it all off.

    EDIT: This thread can now be used for all movies, old and new.

    Sin City - 5. Awesome.

    Mr and Mrs. Smith - 3. Kinda boring, not a great storyline, some amusing moments.

    Ummm. That's all lately. xD

    I'd give Sin City an A++ out of 5 actually.

    Not very new but everyone must go see Ong-Bak the greatest movie since "Sliced Bread" (Starring Robert DeNiro). I give it c/5 where c is the continuum number.

    Sin City - 3. Kinda boring, not a great storyline, some amusing moments. Great style and looks, though. :fpcry:

    Mr & Mrs Smith - 2. Not as bad as the Tomb Raider movie(s?). :fpcow:

    Mr. & Mrs. Smith = 4/5. Lots of action and some comedy. Don't go in expecting a great story line but you shouldn't anyways because it is a summer action movie. The movie set out to do what it did and it did it well. Nice action.

    (I'm adapting it to a ten-point scale by using .5's and all that jazz)

    <b>Sin City - 5. </b>
    Beautiful. The dialog was ace, the visual style was unique and as faithful to the visual novel format as could be expected, and the mood was perfect. I have much love for Marv. Yeah, and the women were hot.

    <b>Revenge of the Sith - 4</b>
    The dialogue was just as bad as it's ever been. I would argue that even in the original trilogy, save for a few memorable quotes (i.e. "I love you." "I know."), Star Wars never excelled in this area. The final conflict was satisfying, but I was hoping they could squeeze more events into the film's considerable length. Also, Anakin is a weak-minded, easily manipulated, idiot. I always hated how the Jedi council -as wise as they are- could not see this coming, and continued to allow him to be trained.

    <b>Sahara - 2.5</b>
    The very definition of mediocrity. I can't pick apart individual things that I disliked about this movie, so I'll just say that there is absolutely nothing spectacular about it. At all.

    <b>Hero - 4.5</b>
    Not that new, but <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/sepho/1262.html">look here</a>.

    Star Wars EP III - 4.5/5
    What Sepho said. All the actors could've done a lot better with another director. Lucas's dialogue writing is dull and silly, like Harrison Ford once has said: "You can write this <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">, George, but you can't SAY it."
    And I mean, come on, the Ewoks in episode VI (Lucas's idea)? Probably the most idiotic invention in the history of filmmaking, plz.
    Anyhow, I was otherwise happy with the outcome of the trilogy and the story was binded together quite well, although I was expecting for more references to the "upcoming" events and to cry a lot more. However, the ending scene really caught me - and I believe that any older SW fans really had tears in their eyes in that part.
    But the best of it all - again - was John Williams (the composer of the music, duh).

    I'm so poor I haven't seen any other new movies recently. And hah, Sin City, Batman Begins or Sahara haven't even come out on our country's theatres yet x)

    Hero - 4/5. Visually stunning movie set in China. It had a good story to boot.

    Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith - 3.5/5. Probably would've ranked it higher if I took a real interest in Episodes 1 and 2. I enjoyed it.

    The Italian Job - 4/5. Good espionage flick that entertained.
