I believe he said D&D in reference to Dumb and Dumber.

Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and say something like this... and totally redeem yourself!!!

Collateral -- 20/10

Great movie.

Iron Man 2

7/10

Iron Man II - 7.5/10, Entertaining, but like other have said, wasn't a good as the first one. Rourke continues to impress me... attempting to pull off that role, and that accent....I thought he'd be awful. He was very good. The ending sucked...."BOOM, The end. See you next year when we'll get 50 bucks from you again."

Sherlock Holmes - 6.5/10, I like RDJ and Jude Law, so this was disappointing. I was apprehensive after seeing the trailers, and my fears were right....I just can't buy Holmes' ability to make Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, and Delta Force operatives look like security guards. Less Kung **, more intellectually challenging material please.

I have to agree with this especially the Kung ** comment. If you forget that he is suppose to be Sherlock Holmes and just watch the movie it is enjoyable. As a fun action movie I give it an 8, as Sherlock Holmes it gets a 5.

Pandorum - pretty good idea, bad execution. Just kind of boring and jumped around.

He was a quiet man - Kind of odd but liked the idea behind it. Won't say it was great but something a little different.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Sherlock Holmes was more like MacGuyver.

Let me get this straight? Whomever made this flick introduced Kung ** into the Sherlock Holmes story? As in he (or Watson) actually use it in fights???

They went through a process of showing how he knew how to hit people, and where, to win fights against bigger and stronger guys. It was clearly trained fighting they were showing him displaying.

I was horribly disappointed in the movie. It wasn't nearly enough actual Sherlock Holmes, as in what you'd expect from the stories and such, and was just really more of an action flick. IMO.

Well some of his cases brought him into contact with the seedy underworld. So you'd expect that he picked up ways to defend himself along the way.

And Sherlock still had to figure out a way, that went beyond physical action, to stop a seemingly immortal enemy in the end.

I didn't like it either, but I liked how all of the guys superpowers were explained in the end.

That is true. It just wasn't quite what I was expecting I don't guess.

yeah that was decent.

 

[theogt]

I guess like most things it's about expectations.

After seeing the trailer and knowing that Guy Ritchie was directing, I expected much more action/kung ** type material that would be heavily stylized.

So I was pleasantly surprised by how good the final product was.

I haven't seen a Guy Ritchie movie that utilized kung **. But as a whole, you're right. Everything is stylized in a Guy Ritchie movie.

The thread that will never die.

I don't know that he's ever used kung ** either. But that wasn't really my point. Someone else used the term, so I was only referencing that "type" of action.

Green Street Hooligans - 8.5/10

Damn good movie with Elijah Wood and Charlie Hunnam (soa's jax). It showed the more "fantical" side of Europes soccer/football Firms. Pretty well done with the editing, the english accents at times are funny.

No, not Kung ** at all. Actually.

During the movie he fights in a underground pit match, but it's a way of illustrating how brilliant he is. All the fights are shown in slow motion, and you hear his voice going through all the computations of what the probability of action is of his opponent and the actions he needs to take to counter, as well as the result of his blows.

Essentially, the guy's mind moves at lightning pace. Where as his opponent might swing wildly, he knows where to hit and how much force to exert to injure or kill.

In addition, it's not kung ** that he's using. It's called Bartitsu and it was written into the novels by Doyle himself as a martial arts that Sherlock Holmes actually used in the books (and it's real, google it).

So the fighting was actually true to the character, Ritchie just styled it up to make it more exciting on screen.

Shelock is an expert martial artist in the books in addition to having a brilliant mind. He just had few occasions to need to fight because he was usually 5 steps ahead, and the same is true of the movie.
