hottest looking female characters in movies:

Elisha Cuthbert-The Girl Next Door

Naomi Watts-Mulholland Drive

Margot Robbie-Wolf of Wall Street

no one seen spectre yet?

Yep. I need to see it again to have a proper opinion on it.

I have somewhat mixed feelings over it. As a stand-alone action film, it actually doesn't work, in my opinion. Obviously it is part of a film series, but it relies heavily on continuity links between Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall. So, if you're new to the series, you'd have absolutely no idea what is going on. Now, that isn't a criticism outright, just an observation. I am a massive Bond fan and always have been, since a very young age, actually. But it won't win any new fans to the series.

It is the natural successor to Skyfall, but it falls short of that particular film. I don't want to post any spoilers, so I will only infer. Skyfall was the perfect Bond film. Bond is always at his best when it's personal, such as a revenge mission. Skyfall was a refreshing perspective on Bond as it actually centred around a villain's hatred for M, which obviously Bond becomes embroiled in. The villain himself was perfectly cast and totally insane, but rather than having the clichéd desire to destroy the world, he just wants revenge. He wants M dead and that makes the film believable.

SPECTRE, conversely, isn't perfect. It has a great many faults. The opening sequence is excellent and over-the-top - instant classic Bond. The car chases and set pieces are typical Bond, and the villain - well, I'll let you make your mind up when that particular element is revealed. But the plot is convoluted and the ending isn't entirely satisfactory. Certain actors, such as Waltz and Bellucci, are severely underused, but the extended roles for M and Q make up for this somewhat.

The film had the potential to be truly special. Instead, it is a very good film, a certain 8/10, but it falls short of the standards set in Casino Royale and Skyfall, which, for my money, are perfect 10s.

Pay the Ghost, great film, crap company who made it since they don't have subtitles on the blu-ray in the 21st century.

Zombie (1979)

4/10

Lucio Fulci is a good horror director, but one gets the feeling that here he was trying too hard. Dope soundtrack, movie not so much.

[HRiver 1,512]

Hmm... the criticism regarding Spectre has me slightly worried. Not like I'm a huge fan of the series, but it's one I've been planning to see in theaters. Seems pretty long at 2h30m so here's hoping it's at least watchable.

If I rated Skyfall 7/10 (which means 'good' in my rating system), does that mean I'll find Spectre average? It looks like it.

[nachikethas 1,149]

Yep. I need to see it again to have a proper opinion on it.

wow that is a great review. I loved casino royal very much and skyfall too. waiting for its release here in India.

[Spike 12,049]

hey i'm all for discussing movies

they're remaking Ghost in the Shell with Scarlett Johansson (sigh)

the original Ghost in the Shell is fantastic 8/10

looks like it's not going to be the only American remake of a classic Japanese anime, as Christopher Nolan is rumored to be remaking Akira

it won't be his first movie based on a Japanese anime, since Inception is also based on Paprika

ScarJo as Motoko? Ahhh, no thanks. I don't think he has the nuance to pull off such a subtle and difficult character. I wonder what city it will be set it, I bet it won't be in Japan.

The people who seemed to dislike Skyfall seem to like SPECTRE, and vice versa. So make of that what you will.

Don't go in expecting it to be as good as Casino Royale or Skyfall, because it's a different kind of Bond. It's an action thriller, much like Quantum of Solace, but with far more substance.

would have loved to see Emily Blunt in the role personally

Basic Instinct (1992): 7/10

finally saw this movie, don't know what Sharon Stone what complaining about, that scene put her on the map. of course she couldn't have known about it back then

She did a unbelievable job as Charlotte in LiT, though, which was no easy character AFAIC.

Uh... who cares, Ghost in the Shell is a terrible movie.

[edetarod 2,155]

Uh... who cares, Ghost in the Shell is a terrible movie.

well that's not true or else Hollywood wouldn't be remaking it

[Spike 12,049]

Somebody didn't watch the Stand Alone Complex

The Hot Spot (1990): 20/10

OH.MY.GOD Jennifer Connolly, it should be illegal to look that gorgeous

i'm gonna go ahead and rate this movie 20/10, a 10/10 for each one of them boobs

[Johnnyeye 7,441]

"Spectre", great movie. loved it and i recommend it.

[iseah100 5,612]

Just saw AntMan. It was amazeballs! So funny, Paul Rudd is the man. Huge Michael Pena fan and he killed it as well. I really enjoyed it, different approach from Marvel, really embraced Rudd's loveability and humor. Also, Evangaline Lilly, oh my god.
