Agreed.

It was more of a strong 4/4.5 out of 10.

I have to agree with Mal and Zibra. It wasn't that good. They should have just left it after the first one.

Yeah, I thought it was crap, just cashing in on the hype around the first one.

I thought the ending was so cheesy, the way that they were all there eating sundaes (I don't care if those are major spoilers)

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind 9/10

Carey and Winslett; mannnnnnnnn.

Invictus or True Grit.

The Dark Knight Rises 9/10.

Glenn Jacobs should've portrayed Bane.

Watched that again last night.

Tom Hardy.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - 9/10

My only complaint is that they don't identify all the dwarves.

Gandalf introduced all of them to Bilbo in the beginning.

They never match all the names to faces though.

You're too young for amnesia.

I Googled that right after I came home from the movie.

You only really need to know Thorin, Balin and Kili anyway. At least that's what I got from the movie since they only really focused on those three.

How can you forget Gloin, father of Gimli.

Did he have much of a role in the movie? I don't really remember.

Oh wait, I do remember him now. Gimli's father, of course.

Oh wait, you just said that he was Gimli's father, Rei. How did I not see that? I can be such a fool sometimes. But I still don't remember whether he did anything significant in the movie.

Edit: Sorry for the double (is it triple?) post, I am stumbling around a bit here.

S'all good, Glen. Didn't do much in the movie, but he's Gimli's father so he gets a special mention in my book.

The actor for Rebus was Balin, he was unmistakable.

Hoop Dreams - 5/5.

Just watched Titanic through for the first time, and in 3D. Exceptional movie.

Point Break - 9/10.

Patrick Swayze at his best.

Django Unchained 9/10

Definately one of QT's best works, which is saying something considering Kill Bill, IG, Reseviour Dogs, Pulp Fiction, etc. Jaimie Foxx does his thing but Waltz (like he did in IG) and DiCaprio steal the show, really fantastic performances. Samuel L was great as well.

The story is dope, I mean it's a Western type film set in pre-Civil War America about a freed slave and a bounty hunter, and it's QT, so you know it's going to be wild and OTT, it's gotten some controversy about how it portrays slavery in the US but hey, slavery was a controversial thing was it not? Some scenes were hard to watch, not new to QT movies but the

Spoiler:

scene is the most "unwatchable" QT scene of all of his projects. Anyway, I recommend it. Surprisingly funny.
