    Well I'm going to be on the other side of j7wild and say that this was the Star Wars I was waiting 32 years to see. Star Wars: The Force Awakens gets a 9.5/10 for me.

    The Gift (2015)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4178092/

    A good effort of a little psycho thriller.

    I didn't expect some of it but when the revelation finally came after the long build up, it could had been more shocking IMO.

    3.5/5

    The Victors (1963)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057652/

    I am sure the director and producers of this World War II film had good intentions when they set out to make this but this is one of the worse and incoherent World War II movie I'd ever seen.

    Characters appears and disappears or appear later in the film in a different state with no explanation whatsoever how they got there.

    The editing and pacing and structuring of the story is terrible.

    Also I question some of the historical accuracy of it. The same U.S. Army squad in this film goes from Sicily to Italy to France to the Battle of the Ardennes in Belgium and then to Germany near the Rhine. I am not so sure about that.

    The version I watched was about 150 min.

    The original version when it was first released at the theaters in limited screens was 175 min.

    I hear there is an even longer version that has since been lost.

    I found this .PDF outlining some of the stuff that was edited out but even after reading that, it still seem there is more to it that has gone missing from it.

    http://www.afterthebattle.com/thevictors.pdf

    It has a great cast including George Peppard, George Hamilton, Vince Edwards, Albert Finney, Eli Wallach, Elke Sommer, Romy Schneider, Jeanne Moreau, Melina Mercouri and Peter Fonda - who was nominated for a Golden Globe award in 1964 for 'Most Promising Newcomer - Male' for his role in this film. YET for the life of me I couldn't find his character in the version I watched.

    It's a shame! This could had been a great World War II film but still, I have no choice to give it:

    2/5

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens

    Phenomenal movie. I'd definitely recommend seeing it multiple times. I actually wrote a spoiler and non-spoiler review of it.

    4.8/5

    For once it's good to see Depp not in a weird role!

    Too Late the Hero (1970)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066471/

    This is an Anti-War film from the director of The Dirty Dozen.

    Michael Caine once again as always does a great job and gives it his 110%.

    4.5/5

    Deadpool (2016)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1431045

    OMFG!!

    Is this the most violent comic books to live action movie adaptation ever?

    I wonder how many parents took their children to see it expecting another Avengers or Iron Man or Thor.

    4/5

    Question: what exactly happened in the "this little Piggy went to" scene?

    Can someone please PM the answer to me so we don't SPOIL it for the folks who haven't seen it?

    Matter of opinion, Kick-Ass was pretty much up there

    It was Rated "R", so no admittance for anyone under 17 without parents, and where I come from, 18 is legal age.
    In short, at 17 "kids" they are not, and by then, they probably saw all there is to see online and more anyway.



    I can't see through walls, but I can kick your ass.

    I don't understand the connection between Deadpool and the X-Men institute and characters.

    Leaving aside the Comic Books, because it gets way too complicated since all Marvel universe characters are linked at some point or another, which includes the Avengers.

    On the movie side, because Marvel leased the rights to some of the characters to different studios, and because Comic book adaptations to film do not always translate, things change quite a bit.

    In short, DeadPool and Wolverine were both results of the "Weapon X" program, which among other things consisted of mutant cell experimentation (So he and Wolverine turned into mutants). DeadPool first appeared in X-Men Origins - Wolverine, but as Wade Wilson (Reynolds as well). I don't think they actually referred to him as DeadPool, but he did not have the suit.

    Here's a short featurette about him in Origins:
