Rate the Last Movie You Saw...

Thunderball - 8/10
Diamonds are forever - 7/10
Never say never - 7/10
Goldeneye - 8/10

Doing a rerun of James bond. Pierce Brosnan was the best actor to star in James Bond's role a close second to Sean Connery. The worst was Roger Moore.

I felt the worst was Timothy Dalton. Btw... Barbara Carrera from 'Never Say Never Again' still stands as my favorite villainess from the JB movies. ;)
 
So who's going to watch Skyfall on Nov 1 and 2 ??? If you do, please post your review here ASAP so that I can decide whether to bother watching it during the weekend

Paranormal activity 4 - 4/10 No thrills - the scary/creepy scenes last a total of 30 seconds IIRC.

The Amazing Spiderman - 7/10 I liked Andrew Garfield and I love Emma Stone but it didn't connect the way the original Spiderman did. Tobey Maguire really conveyed the nerd part well. To me, Andrew felt like a really cool guy pretending to be a nerd. Just my opinion.

Taken 2 - 8/10 Liam Neeson is the man! Though the first movie had more charm (probably because the treatment was quite novel for a very simple plot), this one still holds its ground. The main irritant were the 1/2 hour long Vicco adverts during the forced intermission. :@
 
Looper:- 6.8/10 (this ll surely suck big time on tv)

The movie was pretty lame tbh.
Apart from one moment where they successfully implemented the loop concept (The first n only time).. it was just plain drag.
In a movie consisting stars the like of Bruce Willis / Levitt, the real star of the show was the kid and his 'I am coming downstairs no matter what' act. :)



The Count of Monte Cristo - 8.2/10

What a Gem!
The Mask Of Zorro revisited.. and how!



Infernal Affairs (2002) - 8.1/10
Original inspiration of The departed. Few of the chinese movies which had a plot.
 
I wonder how people rate a movie in decimal places! Like 6.8, 8.1, 8.2.

How is 8.1 or 8.2 any different from 8? Or 6.8 any different from 7? 8.5 is still understandable. :P

Oh and btw we do not have any rules for posting review scores here so please feel free to post in scientific formats as well. Like using exponentials, natural logarithms etc. :D

Corrected the name. Even i dont understand the logic in rating 8.1, 8.2 :)

Just to mark out the compelling nature of the movie to garner more than the whole numbers. 7 is more like okay types, 7.5 is goodish.. 8 touches the must see mark.

7.2/7.3 will be something in between. Some people will prefer hopping with multiples of .5, some will be more subtle.
 
The Cabin the the woods : 5/10. While horror movies are not expected to follow sound logic, the premise of this is throughly ground-less.

Prometheus : 5/10 : just for the special effects.
Ridley Scott asks very fundamental questions but does not bother to even make an attempt to answer any of them. Of course he has announced the sequel to this. Prometheus is supposed to be Alien prequel. There is no connect between them.

After the announcement of the sequel, now we have to assume:
Prometheus = Alien -2 (it was originally Alien -1)
Prometheus 2 = Alien -1
These numbers would change depending on the box office collection of the sequel of the prequel. The (sequel) show must go on!

Since I have sometimes used decimals to rate the movies, I think I owe you an explanation regarding it.
Here is my logic: If suppose I rate Movie A with say 8 and then I have to rate say Movie B, I find B almost as good as A but not equally good then I would rate it say 7.8 or 7.9.
I guess everyone has their benchmarks for all their 8s, 9s and the other whole numbers and they rate the movies in comparison with these benchmarks.
 
This whole numerical rating doesn't work.I mean how often do we come across movies rated 2,3,4 ? People use 1 only to emphasize how bad they found the movie.For IMDB it's fine because it intends on showing the average score.
For our purpose in this thread we can have 3 levels of rating. Something like this:
Don't watch
Can watch
Must watch


These ratings make more sense to me.

No, it doesn't gel well with my self-centered attitude dammit. Any art should be rated by the numbers, go ask anyone.
