Transformers was the best movie of this year by far.

Simpsons was good too.

just watched shoot em up last night, f***ing brillant movie!
id have to say my personal favourites for the year though in no particular order would be

mr brooks.
the man from earth
children of men

i was tempted to put die hard 4 in that list, but the fact they censored it disapointed me enough to exclude it.

Nothing for me was that memorable.

But what stood out for me was how incredibly s*** the Simpsons Movie turned out. Three minutes of oldschool Simpsons gives more laughs than that entire film...

Last King of Scotland - was that 2007?

it was kick ass

300

Best-

3:10 To Yuma
Shoot em up
Bourne Ultimatum

Worst-

I am Legend

Stardust
1408
Die Hard 4

Transformers was good when I saw it the first time at the cinema, but damned if I could watch it again.

Die Hard 4, 300, Transformers & AvP2 stand out for me.. mostly because they were all no-questions asked, kickass action films.

simpsons also stood out as a shining example of why the show needs to be cancelled.

1408
300
AvP:R
Blood Diamond (2006 movie but i think it start here in 2007 didn't it?)
Sunshine
Hot Fuzz

Others worth mentioning:
the simpsons
superbad (better than i expected it to be)

Eastern Promises
3:10 to Yuma
Letters from Iwo Jima
Flags of our Fathers


Pathetic
--------
Sunshine
I am Legend
300

Hot Fuzz
300

300

Die Hard 4 was, I hate to say it, a massive disappointment. It was such a departure from the hardcoreness of the first movie; it was so sanitised and family friendly - so much so that I'm half-expecting a special "directors cut" edition with all the swearing back in there just so they can sell more DVDs.

so much so that I'm half-expecting a special "directors cut" edition with all the swearing back in there just so they can sell more DVDs.

The DVD says on the front that it is uncut and stuff.

does it have more swearing than the half-assed theatrical release?

Well it says "contains explicit language and violence" so maybe.

Just saw The Kingdom...tops!

I think I was most impressed by 300. I was pretty pleased with Die Hard 4, it was a straight up action film just like the previous ones. I'm looking forward to seeing I am Legend, post-apocalyptic films being my favorite genre.

Check this out Rev

Jack Black and Michel Gondry ftw

Hmm I dont have broadband so I'm unable to 'watch' all these wonderful movies that havent been released yet ;)

Yeah but passable films this yr in no particular order include:

1. No Country for Old Men
2. Apocalypto
3. Death at a Funeral
4. Letter from Iwo Jima
5. 300 j0r!
6. Black Book
7. After the Wedding
8. Hott Fuzz yer
9. Pan's Labyrinth
10. Superbad

The rest were meh!

Although special (I mean 'special' in a crap way) mention must be given to Transformers and History Boys and PoTC3.

I thought History Boys was about some pommy dudes trying to get into University during the 80's, instead it's a movie about dung-punchers and pedophile teachers. Should be called 'Poofter boys' or 'Sore-Bum Mountain'.

Ahh Good ole Michael Bay. Well he got $14.50 out of me ... the c***. Transformers is like eating 10 Big Macs all at once. Sure, it tastes good while your eating it but you'll throw up later. I mean to say it had great CGI and honestly props to the noname nerds tirelessly rendering autobots blowing up s***, they deserve an Oscar they really do. But everthing else excluding Megan Fox's ass was s***e.

Onto Pirates of the Carribean 'We needed to make this Sequel so we could end this s***'. I mean I sat through nearly 3 hrs of this thing and I still don;t know what the f*** happened? Except that Keith Richards stumbled into a scene for 5 mins.

lol end ranty rant

haha 30 days of night


thats a joke right?

Superbad

Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny

Planet Terror

300

Yeah i was somewhat disappointed with I am Legend, and i owe it all to that s***ty ending.

the ex? your joking. i tried to watch so many movies on the flight from oz back here. stuck on a plane for 30 odd hours and i still couldnt sit through it all.

Superbad
Darjeeling Limited
Knocked Up
Deathproof (Has Planet Terror already been out??)

(On closer inspection The Departed, The Prestige and Little Miss Sunshine are from 2006)

Bourne Ultimatum was good and The Fountain was definitely different.

Transformers was average, Die Hard 4 was too (1 and 3 remain awesome), 300 had moments of class.

I didn't even stoop to the level of AvP 1 so there was no chance I was gonna touch AvP 2

And Death At A Funeral was by far the most overated movie of the year.

Except for the Simpsons movie which I also didn't touch. Previews alone were painful.

watched i am legend and the bourne ultimatum this morning. thought both were pretty good. i liked i am legend, but you're right, wasn't totally satisfied with the ending, thought it could have gone differently

Doing this list and googling what movies have come out this year make me realise how fkn quickly the year has gone. Some of these I would swear have been out for longer than a year.

Pan's Labrynth (probably movie of the year IMO)

Superbad

28 Weeks Later

AVPR

Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix

Sunshine

300

Smokin' Aces

Disappointments:

Black Sheep

Spiderman 3

Die Hard 4

I don't really know where to put Transformers... I quite enjoyed it in the cinema, but only because it was massive robots smashing s*** up, not because it was a good movie.

I really regret not seeing 30 Days of Night in the cinema:( That's the one movie I would have loved to have seen that I didn't this year.

omg I forgot the 'kick in the balls' that was Spidey3: Spidey goes emo.

^Dude, Smokin Aces, you gotta be kidding me?

Smokin' Aces was f***ing awesome?? What didn't you like about it?

Smokin' Aces was f***ing awesome??

Yeah i'd be questioning that too?? Even going as far as adding a few more question marks ????????

I thought it was trying to be something it wasn't. It was all over the place like a mad womans s***.

Alicia Keys in tight leather gave me wood, but thats about it.

Hard choice

Best =
1480
Death Proof
3:10 to yuma
Hot Fuzz

And im sure lots more i cant remember

Worst =
Hostel 2
Planet Terror
Wrong Turn 2 Dead End

Smoking Aces was a thrown together piece of s***.

Death at a funeral = the funny.

Yeah hostel 2 was pure garbage, and the thing is i knew it was going to be s*** but i was compelled to watch it anyway.

urrggh.

My Thoughts exactly TT_Avenger

My thoughts exactly Mitch.

Wanna become friends?

17/m/rap.

You're more like 13/m/dint

ISWYDT

im scared TT_Avenger

ohh forgot American Gangster!

Because of Transformers, I spit on all movies released in 2007

Except for Beowulf

Can we include the futurama movie, seeing as it hasnt been released here and is a straight to DVD movie?

Personally I thought it was better than the simpsons movie (which wasnt bad but not spectacular) and the best movie I have seen all year.

And just to clarify, I didnt download, bought it from amazon.

nah, futurama moofie started off awesome (ie funny), then got bogged down in non funnys and trying to be clever

simpsons moofie was better;

thats what I liked about the movie, that it actually had a good plot, wasnt just sight gags all the way through. Alot of futurama episodes are like that aswell, so its not realy different from the eps.

- Zodiac
- Breach
- Hot Fuzz
- The Departed
- Last King of Scotland

What's with all the Transformers hate?

It was all over the place like a mad womans s***.

Best simile of the year...

As far as movies go.

300 - Original and a just a straight visual feast. Nothing else comes close except maybe Sin City for stylised visuals.
Bourne Ultimatum (was that this year?) - I just like the Bourne movies. I still think the original is the best. Less handycam shenanigans.
Hot Fuzz - These guys are f***ing hilarious!
Transformers - It has been a very long time since I've gone to a movie and went "Woah.." out loud. Return of the Jedi, The Matrix, the battle scene at the beginning of Ep III. They are the ones that come to mind prior to a helicopter transforming and ownzing bitchz0rs... Still, it was an action flick with bitching visuals and that's about it. It'll get trumped in 2008.

What's with all the Transformers hate?

It might have something to do with the fact it sucked. But for me the worst movie I have seen and possible one of the worse movies of all time is smokin aces. 300 was good but not worth buying. I watched spiderman 3 on a plane and it was the first time I have slept on a plane, what a boring piece of crap that was. I am legend, I have not seen it but Will Smith is in it so utter crap is guaranteed.
