Kaylee ,'Serenity'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Wait, so the good guy's plan was the one that didn't make sense?
I am cast in mind (unfavourably) towards Transformers, where the best I could work out was that in order to beat the guys who want to steal the thingy, you've got to give them the thingy. And, without irony, you will win and we will all be safe.
Perhaps it's fairer to say that no one's plans made sense in that movie, but here it at least sounds like crazy angry guy wants something that's reasonable to want.
Oh how I wish anyone, anyone on this team of scriptwriters had looked up the Wikipedia entry on gravity. Because the explanation of how the World Engine worked was painful.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.
OMG. No shit. Furthermore, there is the very obvious issue that didn't they fucking ruin Krypton by fucking with the core? Didn't Zod criticize the council for fucking with the core?
Then what did he do? Fuck with the core. I just did not understand that shit at all.

Excerpt from MoS sequel "obtained": [link]
Okay, what the hell, they're making a LEGO movie??
...And it actually looks good? What? No, seriously, it's from the directors of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street, both of which were surprisingly intelligent and hilarious...plus Batman.
What was surprisingly intelligent about 21 Jump St? Did it happen after their fragile friendship was cracked to the core by the ex-uncool guy spouting off? I had to go find where my eyes had rolled off to at that point, and got too distracted to finish the movie.
I found it to be a very smart combination of homage and satire. It was much more than the dumb comedy I expected it to be.
Homage, where? And what was worth satirising? I found it to be so independent of the original beyond "undercover in high school" that they had to jam in the original actors to remind us why they spent money on the licensing. And there wasn't enough about the original to really satirise anyway.
Also really quite predictable, so if it wasn't an existing property, there'd be no reason to watch it either.
