Then there is Grandmaster, Ip Man: the Final Fight and Ip Man: Birth of the Legend, all of which are biopics by two different directors. Really weird, because all of these came out within a few years of each other (from like 2008-2013). On top of all of that, there is overlap in the actors between the franchises, but they play different characters in the different franchises. Anyway I think I'll probably watch Birth of the Legend, because I'm curious about his life prior to when we meet him in Ip Man 1. Edit: I could be totally wrong about the summary above, but I got curious and that's what about 10 minutes of researching on the internet yielded.

I like it as well, and I didn't understand why it got so much hate in the other movies thread.

Forget Ip Man, Wong Fei Hung is where it's at.

I like it a lot as well. Yet, I don't really trust my judgment on this one, since I have somewhat of an infatuation with Olga Kurylenko. I liked Hitman as well, and I hear it was horrible.

Agreed on Oblivion. I liked it a lot.
Had really low expectations going in, and that probably helped. But it was a pretty interesting story. |

Jack Reacher was entertaining as hell.
Oblivion sucked. Looked great and had me intrigued but the reveal was weak. |

Finally watched The Prestige. I liked it but to me, the "twist" at the end felt really cheap and I can't get over the fact that there was pretty much real magic used

If you're into animated superhero flicks, Justice League: War was damn good. I won't say it's quite on the level of Crisis On Two Earths or Doom but it was, at the very least, pretty close.
It was a decent Justice League origin story and the animation was on point. My only complaint is that they made Green Lantern seem like a pussy and I'd rather have seen Aquaman instead of Cyborg (although I understand why Cyborg made more sense given the plot). Also, Wonder Woman put in a disgusting amount of work. |
