RE: Movie Discussion Thread II
I heard Skyline was pretty bad, and seemed to be all effects and no story. Which was what I feared in the first place.

I thought that Skyline seemed much more like War of the Worlds.
Also, I'm confused. Did Harry Potter come out already or does it come out on the 17?

RE: Movie Discussion Thread II
I just got back from my local theater's showing of Unstoppable, and I'm happy to say that it was actually done pretty well. The acting was exceptional, the plot wasn't just 'OMG GUYZ LOLTRAIN!', and my friends and I were on the edges of our seats nearly the entire movie.

Anyone saw Megamind? The idea behind this movie looks fun. Although it's almost exactly the same as 'Dispicable me'

@Roa: This guy right here is going! Being a huge Harry Potter fan, I can't even contain my excitement during school, LOL.

I am too! :3 It really sucks though. Midnight shows sold it really quickly all around so I'll be going to a theater 15 miles away. I'm that dedicated though because I've been looking forward to this for a while. For the last movie, I'll be sure to check showtimes quicker. ._.
dmaster out.

RE: Movie Discussion Thread II
I thought Deathly Hallows was fantastic. Some of the people I went with hadn't read the book and thought the first hour and a half was boring; as with the other Potter movies, having prior knowledge of the books definitely helped add to the experience. I told my friends they needn't worry -- the second movie is mostly comprised of the Battle of Hogwarts, so it should be action, action, action.
Good thing I don't have class on Fridays!

Ddfklasdjfkshdsc. Harry Potter, like CPM said, was FANTASTIC! I was overjoyed to see that the best scenes were the ones with great acting, rather than the action scenes, as this is the first part and the second one will be a bunch of "LET'S KILL SUM PEOPLE KAY?"

RE: Movie Discussion Thread II
Yeah, this movie was simply Oh My God. Fastest two and a half hours of my life, for real. Only small qualm is where they cut it. They basically told the entire story (which I'm not really complaining about as they really included a LOT of detail, many of which was plucked straight from the book line for line, which was also simply amazing) that they left basically NOTHING for the next movie but pure action. It would have been better to split it up even further back, because really the fast scenes went by like a literal blur. I guess that was just the pace of it, but really there's not much to complain about, even considering that.

According to box-office tracker Hollywood.com, that puts "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" third in the record books for midnight debuts, behind the last two "Twilight" movies: last summer's "Eclipse" with $30 million and 2009's "New Moon" with $26.3 million.
