I haven't seen any of the movies on this list, and most of them I don't have any desire to. Esp. Spring Breakers. No Bob, I will not give that a chance. I do not want to watch anything that has to do with Spring Break.
To be fair, Bob even makes it a point of saying that Pacific Rim is NOT the best film of the year, the one before that was the actual best. Pacific Rim is just the one that he personally liked the most, which I think is perfectly fair. He's not blind to how fanboyish it comes across as.Delcast said:Lol really pacific rim? 1st?
I thought there was some seriousness in this list. Whenever I think Bob may have some Credibility, he goes and fanboys it up like this...
I mean, I didn't hate it, unlike many critics. I thought this was super good looking mindless fun... but not best.. not even top 10. If you really want to be objective you at least have to take away some points for the ridiculously eye rolling script. It goes beyond the "its so bad it's good", and it turns bad again.
I think you misinterpreted what Jim was doing. He wasn't counting down to his Game of the Year, he was giving out five separate Games of the Year.Strain42 said:I mean heck, Jim Sterling gave his number 1 game of the year to The Stanley Parable. I think it's perfectly fair to give your number 1 slot to something you personally enjoyed the most, regardless of whether or not it was actually the best.
Well, word from Del Toro is, that if there is a sequel, there would be Jaegers made from Kaijus, ala Evangelion or something.Raiyan 1.0 said:If Pacific Rim gets a sequel, there better be an equivalent to Macross variable fighters in it.
Huh. Well then let me clarify that all the critics that I pay attention to loved it, haha.chiggerwood said:Actually there's quite a few critics that hated it (it has a metacritic score of 39), some even went as far as asking if the director's previous effort, Drive, was a fluke. And no drive wasn't a fluke it was just a continuation of a pattern for the director of good movie, bad movie, good movie, bad movie. Nicolas Winding Refn made Bronson which was good, then he made Valhalla Rising, which was an inexcusably tediously boring movie that had no right to be boring. I mean it was a movie about Vikings fighting Indians for fucks sake, but the director managed to make something only slightly more interesting than paint drying. Then came Drive which was good, then he made Only God Forgives, which was an inexcusably tediously boring movie that had no right to be boring. I mean it was a movie about a psychotic druglord mother who was trying to get unjustified revenge for the murder of her psychotic rapist son, who she was fucking, but the director managed to make something only slightly more interesting than watching grass grow. So yeah his next movie should be really good. Sorry for the rabbit trail.Gxas said:I haven't seen it, but I've heard wonderful things about it from critics all over.chiggerwood said:I cannot disagree with MovieBob any more than when it comes to Only God Forgives. How anyone can put that disjointed poorly directed, overwrought mess on even a runners up list is a mystery to me. The rest of the list was fine, but seriously, Only God Forgives?
That being said, anyone who saw it who wasn't a critic absolutely HATED it.
Probably some disconnect in what is being looked at as "good".
OT: Can't disagree with the list from what I saw this year, still trying to play catch-up though.
Its a bit different tho, jim's game of the year awards didn't put them in any order.. he said so himself. Just 5 best games of the year.Strain42 said:
I'm aware of it, but even if he didn't do what he did last year which was give out 4 "Game of the year" awards and one "TOP Game of the year" award on Friday, I'd be willing to bet there's a reason why he saved the Stanley Parable for last that falls beyond mere coincidence (the only reason I could think of that falls beyond his personal preference and randomization is he could have done them alphabetically, since they do seem to fall that way if you ignore him committing the sin of counting "the" when organizing alphabetically)shrekfan246 said:I think you misinterpreted what Jim was doing.

That doesn't matter. Since you've already stated Pacific Rim "hardly belongs on the list" you're already saying whether Pacific Rim was 1, 5, or even 10 it shouldn't be there at all. Jim's awards may have been in no particular order, but it's still basically a top 5 list.Delcast said:Its a bit different tho, jim's game of the year awards didn't put them in any order.. he said so himself.

And since as previously stated this is a completely subjective list based on the person who made it, you don't really get to make that call. You can disagree with it, go right ahead, but it's not up to you to decide if it should be there or not.Delcast said:Pacific rim hardly belongs on the list.
Calling it now - Man of Steel will be his top rated worst movie. That or Smurfs 2.Scarim Coral said:Also I be suprise if Man of Steel does not show up in next week episode given how much Bob loathe that film
