As a cinephile, I thought I'd start a movie topic thread. Already seen many of the flicks.
I thought Star Trek was best of the summer so far. It might frustrate some trekkies, but I thought it was good.

Saw Star Trek last night. Really enjoyed that one. Next on my list I'll probably go see The Internship. Have you seen that one yet?
Of course I'm waiting with bated breath on Man of Steel and Ender's Game (not summer)
I almost went to go see The Purge instead, but some friends of mine saw it andwere iffy about it. I was excited for Hangover III, but word of mouth painted it as a more serious movie than its predecessors, which made it a non-starter for me.
I like how Doug said like five lines all three movies. They tried to give him lines in the first one and nobody liked him, so he became to go-to kidnapped guy.
Yes, saw the Internship. It was pretty good. I would say entertaining is the right adjective to use, but not the genius that was Wedding Crashers.
Some great lines, and look for an awesome Will Ferrell cameo. It was a little slow at some points.
Man of Steel and Ender's Game are also on my list of must-sees. Also want to see Mud.
Saw The Purge last night... TOTAL disappointment. Movie had such potential to be a great, thought provoking piece of work and instead was kind of garbage. It did bring in over 13x it's original cost of production though so if Platinum Dunes were a public company I'd definitely long it.
Star Trek was pretty good, but not as good as its predecessor.
I'm getting Pacific Rim tickets as soon as they go on sale.
Looking forward to "2 Guns" with Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington.
I have "Hammer of the Gods" that comes out in July already and planning on watching it this week. I liked "The Vikings" TV show on History channel and it seems pretty similar to that.
Honestly, this summer seems pretty damn weak for movies...
I fckin love Mark Wahlberg, almost as much as I 3 Tom Cruise and Leo DiCaprio.
With you on that, Leonardo Dicaprio is gold.
Thoughts on Cloud Atlas?
It's definitely interesting and neat to see how everything ties together, but at the end of the movie I realized I wouldn't recommend it to any of my friends or watch it again. If you aren't paying for it and you don't have better stuff, then watch it, but I'm sure you can find better.
Was pretty disappointed by Star Trek. As a non-Trekkie, I loved the first one, but this one was so mashed together, and they tried to fit too much in the final 45 minutes of the movie. Was kind of stupid.
Interested to see The Internship, Man of Steel, and still haven't seen Iron Man 3.
The Purge sounds great, but I could see how it would be bad. A bit of a bummer. Will probably watch it once it's online.
I enjoyed Iron Man 3, but they REALLY milked the new snap-on suit tech that Tony came up with. Like every other scenario centered around that.
Also the villain storyline idea was cool, but for me really didn't work.
I agree. I'm not a comic book geek, but decided to look up the villain after seeing the movie and they dropped the ball. If they would have stuck a bit closer to the comic book they could have really made it interesting. Also, the end was just Hollywood cheese and partly ruined an otherwise entertaining movie.
Ender's Game looks great. Will certainly see Star Trek and Man of Steel.
I also saw Hangover 3 and the new iteration of Fast and Furious. I would actually recommend seeing Fast and Furious over Hangover. Both were entertaining in their own right, but F&F was wholly entertaining, save for some of the over the top action sequences. Good cast, good chemistry and a movie worth seeing in a theater. Hangover on the other hand could easily be experienced at home.
Sucks to hear the less than stellar review for The Purge. I thought that was a pretty awesome concept and could have been a really neat movie. I will still check it out, but will probably wait for Red Box.
RIPD could have some potential, but it looks like a script rewrite of Men In Black. The Wolverine will probably be worth a theater watch, as well as, Kick-Ass 2.
Regards
The Purge was OK. Good, not great, Solid B-
Two Guns looks interesting
I want to see this is the end, great group together in that movie
Mud was pretty good
Anyone see Shadow Dancer?
I thought this summer would've been great, but IM3, Hangover III, and Star Trek Into Darkness were all rather disappointing.
I have high hopes for Man of Steel.
Watched Furious 6 and The Internship this weekend and honestly loved both.
Furious had some of the sickest action scenes I've ever seen and it gave you exactly what you'd expect, and probably want, from a F&F movie: sick car scenes, hot girls, a decent enough story that you don't lose interest.
The Internship was hilarious. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are just so damn good together. There were defintely some stretches in terms of plausible situations, and they played up the whole "old people don't know tech" thing a bit too much, but I still thought it was great.
Not the biggest movies out there, but I'm pretty excited for Kick-Ass 2 and Only God Forgives even though the latter has been met with some fairly poor reviews so far.
Saw Star Trek was just ok, enjoyed the first one alot better. Really looking forward to Man of Steel and Kevein Hart's movie Let Me Explain( even though it is a stand up).
