Aseph Posted January 10, 2007 I was going to make a poll, but I decided I'd rather leave it more open. I'm unable to choose between The Fountain or The Departed, but for me it's one of those. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dr. Zin Posted January 10, 2007 The only movie I saw this year was Casino Royale. However, I really liked it, as it reversed the slide of Bond films into little more than parodies. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted January 10, 2007 I'll vote Nói albínói. While it's technically from 2003, it was showcased on the big screen here late last year, so that counts for me. 0 Share this post Link to post
sargebaldy Posted January 10, 2007 Ordinarily I wouldn't remember, but I've been rating everything I watch on IMDb lately. But it looks like Death of a President and Idiocracy are at the top of my list so far. Little Miss Sunshine was pretty good as well. I guess I haven't seen anything too astounding from 2006 yet. I think I'm going to watch Children of Men soon, so we'll see how that is. 0 Share this post Link to post
Negatronica Posted January 10, 2007 hmmm, I don't think I watched a single movie from 2006. I'm proud of that for some reason. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bucket Posted January 10, 2007 I'm going to have to go with The Fountain. 0 Share this post Link to post

Some of the scenes are so gripping, and some of the sets, mainly from the last 40 minutes or so, are amazing. 0 Share this post Link to post
insertwackynamehere Posted January 10, 2007 Snakes on a Plane or Borat. Saw the first twice and the latter thrice. But The Departed, Pursuit of Happyness and Little Miss Sunshine were also good. 0 Share this post Link to post

Shadow Dweller Posted January 11, 2007 i don't recall any good 2006 movies that i have seen either. i'm watching Jet Li's "Fearless" now. i doubt that counts, since it is 2007 0 Share this post Link to post
Technician Posted January 11, 2007 I saw many movies this year and none really pushed my button. 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Red Posted January 11, 2007 *meh* I guess Casino Royal. I was well made and well written I suppose, but it just didn't hit my awesome button. most disappointing movie was probably X men 3. as for Snakes on a plane... heh. it was worth seeing, but i'm pissed that the kick boxing guy only punched like one snake. I was sure I was going to see lots of snake fistycuffs! Also, not very rewatchable. 0 Share this post Link to post

sargebaldy Posted January 11, 2007 Agreed. The film was a pile of crap if you've read the comics. 0 Share this post Link to post
baronofhell Posted January 11, 2007 Superman Returns was well done, and X-MEN 3 was fun. Can't think of many movies I watched last year at the moment, but those two come to mind. 0 Share this post Link to post

deathbringer Posted January 11, 2007 Renaissance, a typical "Sweeney" episode relocated to the future and filtered through typically french artiness, how can you go wrong? 0 Share this post Link to post

alexz721 Posted January 12, 2007 Yeah, I enjoyed the movie for what it was, and I enjoyed the book too. Borat, Snakes On a Plane, Jackass: Number 2, and Clerks II get my vote for funniest, but certainly not the best. I thought Superman Returns was very lackluster, and X3 could have been better. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was surprisingly enjoyable. I have yet to see The Fountain, The Departed, Children of Men, and The Pursuit of Happyness. Other than that, I've seen Talladega Nights, Nacho Libre, and Underworld: Evolution, which are worth watching, but nothing special. 0 Share this post Link to post
Aseph Posted January 12, 2007 Borat was overrated. it had nothing on Clerks II. the biggest laugh of 2006 for me was Randal's description of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy... I almost fell out of my seat in the theater when the LOTR geek puked. Pirates 2 was great, X-Men 3 was good except for them making Phoenix too powerful (thus greatly cutting down on the excitement) and TOTALLY SCREWING UP JUGGERNAUT. the scene where he yells out "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" made me cringe. Absolutely retarded. Superman Returns captured the essence of Superman better than any movie since the original, and it looked absolutely great. You can't beat Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. Someone should start a thread for worst movie of 2006 too... my votes are Lady In The Water and Basic Instinct 2. 0 Share this post Link to post
sargebaldy Posted January 12, 2007 Texas Libra said:A completely subjective opinionAren't all opinions completely subjective? I know it isn't true for everyone, since some people can disconnect a work from its derivative and judge it independently. But why should I? The film just lifts the basic outline of the comics and then proceeds to butcher them. Anyone who understood them knows that the film misses the point entirely. Read Alan Moore's comments on the film. 0 Share this post Link to post
