I was going to say, with the exception of michael cera, whom I think is VERY annoying. My favorite characters were the two others in Scott's band.Sleet wrote:You did love the characters? I found most of the "heroes" fairly unlikeable. The villains were pretty awesome though.

Rented the DVD, and it was totally awesome!!!! Yes I would definitely say that was one of the best films of 2010.naylorfan90 wrote:Yay!

The movie completely screwed the book. The book was very imaginative and funny and the movie took the title and the character's names (even changing their attitudes and physical appearances) and left the rest to rot. Another example of making a movie out of a book without reading the book!viridis wrote:Allright, too many people have been saying "How to train your Dragon" is a good movie for me to ignore it longer.

Half of those movies I thought were great, but some of them were just okay (I loved the first half of Book of Eli and HATED the second half. Gary Oldman is always awesome thoughFarmMan1812 wrote:How To Train Your Dragon, The Karate Kid, Jonah Hex, Inception, Book Of Eli, Legend of the Guardians, Resident Evil: Afterlife, Zombieland, Ninja Assassin, Predators, Letters to God, Legion, Knight and Day, My Soul To Take, Daybreakers, Despicable Me, R.E.D., Sherlock Holmes, Grown Ups, A Nightmare on Elm St., Little Fockers, The Back-Up Plan, 2012, Mirrors 2 (Sorta.... not really) Extraordinary Measures, The Wolfman, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, Cop Out, The Crazies, Prince of Persia....

I like movies, if that isn't obvious.

A movie doesn't have to be faithful to be good. It was amazing, even if it deviated from the source.Sketcherofstuff wrote:The movie completely screwed the book.

I didn't really see the theme as very "high concept" at all, honestly.naylorfan90 wrote:Interesting thing with Tron: Legacy. It's a generally accepted thing about cinema that the higher concept a movie's theme is, the simpler the story has to be for the audience to handle the concept. The inverse is also true; for example, a simple story of a single parent struggling to keep her family together and living has to rely on complex character relationships and interactions to be interesting. So with Tron: Legacy, it has to rely on a "simplistic" story to convey its theme of free information.zeroslash wrote:Toy Story 3. Ga'Hoole was a disappointment, and I haven't seen Inception, Tron: Legacy, nor How to Train Your Dragon yet. After seeing the first Tron film, I had high expectations for the second, but from what I've heard in the reviews, the film lacks a good story, something I've been wanting for a while. Inception looks awesome, and so does Dragon.
It sounds like I'm being harsh on the movie, but I did like it.
I really want to see that, I loved the first two.Zander wrote:mine has got to be Little Fockers.
