I can't stop laughing at highlander.the bad movement in the garage, the weak slow hits, one handed for no reason, suddenly that guy backflipping for miles. I was howling.now in the second fight this woman scream is mixed down to 8bits. this shit's unintentionally hilarious. I can't believe people sat in the theaters immersed and thought "Wow this is so great, this is the best action movie I have ever seen", fully serious, not laughing.
>>220128258frankly I'll never comprehend the gay retarded contingent of people who post here who insist that a film quality is tied directly to it's adhearance to dull day to day realityanything fantastic, cool, or interesting is mocked as 'that would never happen'like yeah, that's the point of watching a film dumbfuck, to watch cool shit that would never happen irlnow watch how you'll address none of my points and make some childish namecalling nonsequiter to avoid being unfathomably wrong for the 10000th time because you're a disengenious shitstirring ugly person with no life
>>220128393>Film's quality is untied to its immersive qualities>This excuses the dogshit execution of combat, both in choreography and actor skillNo.You don't even get to use some excuse about the times, Taxi Driver, 1976, better combat. good bad and ugly, 1966, better combat. immersive, quality.princess bridge, 3 years later, better combat, fantastic, unrealistic, but action sequences are well executed. kino. fuck you.
>>220128393agreed, its the sign of a true midwitthey think that by 'noticing' things no one else does (they do they're just too busy having fun) and pointing them out in the most obvious unthoughtful manner possible that they're elevating themselves from the rabble, when in fact, they're simply pointing out their own unsubtle dull projection of their own worldview whiule also managing to be a boorish killjoy
>>220128500>EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE LE SCORSESE SLOP nah you're just some mediocre dumb personit's fuckin highlander dude, for what it sets out to achieve it fucking nails itit's big dumb fun, just as valid as any babbys first bullshit film you just listed like a year one film studentcringe
>>220128258Now go watch Highlander 2
>>220128500it's this sort of reductve comparison that robs you of any ability to actually enjoy or judge the film on its own meritsit's not setting out to be taxi driver, are you fucking denseit's a summer blockbuster that you take a hot babe to on a lazy summer evening your incelic mind couldn't comprehend such a film could it?
>>220128585>>220128637I'm not saying it's not fun but I can't take the movie seriously when I'm laughing instead of taking in action scenes, 100% in opposite to the directors intent, which makes this objectively not the greatest film.>just shut down your brain brois not an excuse. just like make a good movie instead.
OP getting wrecked like the little bitch he is. KWAB
>>220128694>I can't take the movie seriously when I'm laughing instead of taking in action scenesthe film itself nevers asks you toI literally explained exactly why people like you are a problem with regard to the state of filmyou're snide, ironic and have an autistic adhearnce to 'reality' or constant comparison to completely out of genre filmsyou're dumb, ugly and to be honest have no right to even be discussing the arts in any capacity you should be studied and then sent on a rocket into the sun for the sake of science
>>220128258>the bad movement in the garage, the weak slow hits, one handed for no reason, suddenly that guy backflipping for milesthat is kino.pity that the sequel downgraded the sword fights.
>>220128694>>just shut down your brain brono quite the oppositewatching a summer blockbuster can engage the same film area of the brainyou're just to smug, midwitted and ironic that you think you're smarter than other people for noticing a corny over the top film is corny and over the topyou're a fool, a smug redddit-tier midwit, at best - simple as
>>220128612i dig the scifi plot but the fights were lame.watch highlander anime.https://youtube.com/watch?v=NnsQK9VE-rk
>>220128258The movie was critically-reviled when it was released. Then time went on, society got even dumber, and people started calling it a "classic." Dark times, themes.
>>220128852>Then time went on, society got even dumber,jesus christ now he's throwing out this 14-and-this-is-deeo society maaaaaaan tropeiq isn't some fluid thing that goes up or down because of artthere's the same amoutn of dumb and smart people in the wolrd at all times btw, actual smart people love dumb fun shit like highlander because ITS FUCKING ESCAPISMand not some autistic projection of the bland rules of physicsyou comparison is the theif of joy looking sack of dull mediocre shit
>>220128852>critically-reviled when it was released.critics= 10 percent on rotten matos.verified user reviewers= 99 percent kinomaxxed.it means Highlander is unwoke and manly and you are a massive bag of brit-sticks.
>I can't believe people sat in the theaters immersed and thought "Wow this is so great, this is the best action movie I have ever seen"i doubt anyone seriously thought that. i love highlander and never thought that. the fight scenes are goofy fun. >>220128694>100% in opposite to the directors intentthe director was known for making music videos. he wasn't a serious action-movie director trying to make a realistic action movie.
>>220128258Christof Lambert has the mist retarded face of any famous actor, always looks goofy
>>220128258>I can't believe people sat in the theaters immersed and thought "Wow this is so great, this is the best action movie I have ever seen"Nobody did. It was always very rough around the edges, even when it came out. It was never a masterpiece by any means, but people liked the concept and the universe of Highlander and it gained a small cult following in nerd circles. It was never some cultural phenomenom like other 80s movies. I watched this on VHS when I was 11 and even then I thought it was crazy cheesy at times.But I'd rather have movies that try to do a tripple backflip and land on it's own head than the drab shit we have today that just doesnt even bother to try and play it safe all the way.
>>220128258OP is a faggot, think I'm gonna watch Highlander again tonight.
>>220128694>I'm laughing instead of taking in action scenes, 100% in opposite to the directors intent,How do you know the director's intent?He opens with the Fabulous Thunderbirds Wrestling at Madison Square Garden.
>>220128258one of the worst movies ever made
>>220129231>one of the worst movies ever madeWAAARBLARGH AAAAR I AM MAD AARBLAAAH BWAAAAAAA SHIT ASS ZOOMER AAARGARG I AM A MAD MILLENIAL HEAR ME ROAR BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
>>220129215>Fabulous ThunderbirdsFabulous Freebirds, sorry.
>>220128258great soundtrack tough
>>220129297what kind of odd projection is this, literally no one is mad in this thread, yet you post some offputting elevated stressy cringe shit like thisyou use the exact same tactics on this and several otehr boards 24/7you're not funny, cool or interesting, you have a severe diagnosable mental illlness frget help
If you want a unintentionally funny movie, watch Masters Of The Universe. but kino fucking poster though, hot damn what happened hollywood?
>>220129387>unintentionallyLiterally a kids movie, still actually pretty good, full of heart.
>>220129376the fuck happened to this site, we used to have fun around herenow you are all just getting your panties in a twist at every turn, jesus fucking christ take a joke
>>220129297LOL all highlander fans are millennial larpers aka you. everyone knows highlander was shit and only showed up for queen and sean connery. the sequel is one of the biggest flops of all time cause no one actually liked highlander.
>>220129445>jesus fucking christ take a jokeyou're not funny, or able to express humor in a way that's perceivable to anyone who isn't also some uptight sperg who doesn't see the brilliance of highlanderthe actual humor here is watching you thrash like some odd zoo exhibition of an incelic dweeb who thinks scorsese of all people is some touchstone of great filmmakingno, you're pathetic, and you're bland attempts at humor are cringe, offputting and par for the course among the people who actively ruin this board nice try though
>>220128258Tv series was much better
>>220128258didn't this film have a pointless holocaust survivor story element?
>>220129613Uh oh someone's having a melty
>>220129786>speaks clearly and deliberately in a calm manner>24/7 autist shows up to parrot one of his tired buzzword punchlines for the 97,000 timeright on cue dipshit, did you just wake up?rough day at the ruining everyones day with anti-charisma office?
I can have some fun with Highlander but you're not wrong or inarticulate in your criticism. The fact that people in this thread instantly resort to screeching to defend schlock by claiming you're somehow both a retard, a midwit and pretentious, only goes to show how bad everyone's taste in.I can understand getting emotional when someone shits on a piece of media you like but if you niggas are getting this mad over fucking Highlander, just end it now because there's no way any of you will ever make it
>>220130254>projects his fragile childish emotional state onto peopel literally discussing film in a calm straightforward mannerare people like you even aware of how constantly you tell on yourself, with your half baked pseudo midwittisms?it would be funny if it weren't so consistently sad and apparent 98% of you are exactly like this
>>220130141Sounds like xanax time
>>220130389no need to announce your plans for the day to the board, we're aware of your disparate mental state
>>220128258it was supposed to be surprising and different, the director specialised in music videos.people born after 2000 should have a chip jammed into their brain which prevents them from watching anything from before 2010
>>220129748it was a requirement for action films to have them in order to secure funding in the 80s and 90s.
>>220128393He didn't criticize the realism, he criticized the quality of the choreography.
>>220130484>it was supposed to be surprising and differentit is/wasthe current meta for terminally onine retards is bitching about how everything is bad and looks the same, but ironically whenever somehting new or old comes out and is different for any reason outside of modern era slop they shriek even louder /tv/ is the ultimate embodiment of this schizophrenic attitude
>>220130430>no youSign of a mental titan
>>220130544>he criticized the quality of the choreography.and he's wrong becuase it's fucking awesome he's comparing it to completely out of genre, grounded examples, which is on it's face, fucking retardedpeople like you and him are incapable of discussing art because you lack the ability to percieve nuance outside of direct (no matter how incorrect) comparison
>>220130594I'm too conventonally attractive to care what you think about anythingyou literal ghoul
>>220128258Highlander has always been pure concept and atmosphere (there is just something about the 90´s night x night aesthetic that makes everything just kino) plus it had the one and only Sean Connery in a master role. Lambert was not bad himself but the movie is just too ambitious for it´s own good... the fights and historic flashbacks are pretty weak and the Kurgan always lacked narrative meat.Off course that alone was no reason to remake it but the alien stuff sure is.
>>220130722>and the Kurgan always lacked narrative meat.hahahaha fuckin' huh???? who are you people?he's a big cool badass demigod alien you need more?just go back, you overweight dork
>>220130645Check your meds' label, they were expired
>>220128258>returning to cinema next week for the 40th anniversaryCan't wait to see it
Don't ever put on Highlander when you're with your girl unless you want to watch her pussy dry up like the Sahara Desert
>>220131067>posts some soft 5-6 'influencer'jfc you have no concept of how actual hot babes function you dopey incel
>>220128258kino soundtrack though
>>220128393pretty sure they're all chemically lobotomised and probably from a young age so the normal brain centres never developed and they live in a grey haze desperately trying to make sense of the world that they can't perceive.
>>220129215was supposed to represent the coming together of champions for combat and spectacle, but their own fight being real outside the stadium.
>>220129335people born in the last 20 years watch films on mute with subtitles so they aren't overstimulated so as to avoid an anxiety attack.soundtrack is meaningless now.the ones you see walking around with oversized headphones just have noise cancellation mode on with no music, they're riddled with neurological birth defects.
>>220130574all these screaming faggots are clearly from plebbit and haven't been here long.people on here use to have fairly sane opinions.
>>220130722I'm guessing these threads are part of the slow burn viral marketing leading up to the dogshit soulless remake
>the prize for surviving thousands of years is....READING WOMEN MINDS SAAAAARSholy shit who wrote this
>>220128258>OP wants to live forever....
