Line 154:
* OK, yes, [[Manos: The Hands of Fate]] is one of the worst movies ever made. But you know what? The underlying plot isn't all that bad. And the ending is legitimately creepy. Not ''surprisingly'' creepy. Actually creepy. I would totally watch a modern re-make, taken seriously, starring legit actors.
** Thank you! I have said the exact same thing that you said to my mom and sister, and they both don't agree. I am proud to own a DVD copy of the film, and I have watched the film at least thrice. Torgo has to be one of the greatest tragic villains, or heroes, considering that Mike is a total jerk. I really feel bad for Torgo. He was just a normal man, who was forced into a life of service to a despotic master. When I see Torgo rubbing on Debbie, I know it's creepy, but at the same time, I feel bad, because The Master won't let Torgo have a wife, and life without love is truly tragic. Poor guy... ends up dying in a very... vague manner.
* Take with it what you will, but besides the [[The Lord of the Rings]] movies, I found the [[Chronicles of Narnia]] movies ''stunning''. Sure, the second movie has a fair number of [[Narm|Narmy]] moments, and the [[Romantic Plot Tumor|romance]] was unnecessary, but it was still beautiful. In both, besides the fact that Aslan is a [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]], the special effects are gorgeous, the acting is ''not'' as wooden as everyone likes to pretend it is (what, was Peter supposed to ''sob'' when he killed the wolf?), and the scenery is fantastic. It also helps that they stayed 90% true to LWW, making some changes for the ''better''.
** Seconded. It is one of the best adaptations in terms of keeping true to the best bits of the book and changing the less-than-great parts. VDT in particular made great changes from the book. And the acting (considering they're ''kids'') is pretty damn good.
* Don't ''shoot'' me or anything, but I quite enjoyed the ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' movie more than I expected to. Not only do the director and writer cut out all the unnecessary [[Wangst|Wangsting]] and constant talk of how beautiful the vampires are, but they seemed to make the movie their own. A fluffy representation, if that's really what the books are anyways. Legions of fans may be pissed, but you can't make a movie ''exactly'' the way the fans want it.
