I just watched the princess bride for the first time last night. What did I think of it?
If you're a woman, you didn't understand this scene.
Wasn't that choreographed by the same guy that did LotR?
Kino incarnate.
A lot of big fights under his belt, but I think
was his best.
RIP a legend. The world truly did go to shit in 2012.
Inconceivable!
He's a legend and all but his choreography for LoTR is mediocre at best. These movies treat swords like bats most of the time. There's not a single moment where a character tries to work around the armor, no cleverness at all, the NPC's just go down when they're given their cue. Lightly brushing your foe with a sharp edge counts for kill in this universe, heroically swinging your sword at nothing counts for skill. The editing for most of the fights has to do the heavy lifting to paint over someone's incompetence and convince us that the kill has taken place.
The movie doesn't even have the courtesy to spice up some in theory gruesome moments with CGI blood. I could count the moments of truly great choreography on the fingers of Frodo's hand. Combine that with truly abysmal choreography for bad guys and Gondor redshirts and you're left with a pretty grim picture.
PS: The horseriders stuff was alright though, these Rohirrim are hardcore.
maybe at 78 his abilities were flagging. Imagine if we got prime anderson LOTR
>CGI blood
not having cgi blood is a plus. cg blood has almost NEVER looked good
I don't think he's to blame, there's no room for intricate swordsmanship in those movies at all. Not a single 1 on 1 fight between a protagonist and a villain. The closes we get is eowyn facing down the witch king and that was a fine moment, but not really much of a fight
No, no they wouldn't get it. Never.
>ultra generic former great man past his prime turned into debased and paid lackey fighting a younger version of himself who is on a mission trope regurgitated for the three thousandth time
>virgins think this is hot shit
it's choreographed like trash
>slaps swords a couple time
MY! WHAT TECHNIQUE!
>swings on a rope while slapping rapiers
OH MY GAWD, YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOOD AT THIS KID
name 10 films
>literally a woman
>figuratively doesn't get it
many such cases
>hating on the fencing scenes
You are a soulless shell in the shape of a mn nd you have my pity.
Indigo Montoya was the best character. The princess was the worst character.
I feel like they understood this because after the introduction she gets sidelined for most of the movie
bald
short
annoying
how did he survive high school?
He's just like me frfr
they always find a way
His revenge scenes had to be such a tricky balancing act. Nobody wants to see one of the "good guys" act out a bloody revenge. But they gave him that one moment, to just say "give me back my father you son of a b***h", and it landed. As an audience member, you can see his pain, it was the moment needed to just kinda forgive him.
The spanish dub used
>"Quiero que vuelva mi padre, maldito bellaco"
Which translates more to
>I want my father back, you damned scoundrel
Altogether a more old-timey, knight-like curse which I always found to be more appropiate.
You thought it was good but deserves a rescore because the music is the shittiest part
Black person
i think junkie xl is more your speed
You might have broken ears, anon
You thought it was comfy, yet overrated.
Childhood is idolizing Westley. Adolescence is idolizing Inigo. Adulthood is realizing Fezzik really ties the movie together
was always Andre the Giant pilled my entire life
You only know him from pic related.
I know him as that 7'11, 900 lbs guy that literally died right after the Hulkster slammed him at Mania
fake news
>you mean, I put down my sword, and you put down your rock and we try to kill each other like civilized men?
>I could kill you now? 🙂
Supremely based.
Great shit.
you thought it was bad, but the guy from Saw was very handsome
Did you notice the gay coded villains? That's you.
Fun whimsical movie. Holds up to this day. It’s also supposed to encourage kids to read.
you thougt it was great until westley gets captured and then it becomes boring until the ending
Free Palestine
The only good part is the swamp rats who guard the quicksand. Wonder what all that represents? Or better yet who it represents. All of Hollywood one might imagine.
The rats of unusual size?
>name movie "princess bride"
>expect me, as a man, to give a single frick about it
i would and will never watch a movie with such a sissy name
As you wish
>true love
>because he made unbroken eye contact while handing her a pitcher once
Yes, it's incredibly accurate to the male experience
>haha you knew princess buttercup?
>I didn't say I knew her, I said I have her a pitcher once
lol @ you zoomers trying to talk down the third act...
all-time monologue. you have to go to peter finch levels to top that
that monologue is lame, the real best part about that entire sequence is his line interrupting Buttercup before she can stab herself in the heart
>There is a shortage of perfect breasts in this world, t'would be a pity to damage yours.
I've been hearing some people call this the funniest comedy movie but I've only chuckled at two scenes (the poison scene and then pic related)
>didn't chuckle at the boat rhyming
I pray I never end up as jaded as some of the people in this thread
>no more rhymes now, I mean it!
>Anybody want a peanut?
>I'm on the brute squad
>you are the brute squad
gets me every time
What are more family-friendly fun-kinos like this? Emperor's New Groove comes to mind but not much else.
Some of the Zucker films (Airplane, Top Secret) come close but they always have a few "R-rated" gags tossed in.
Miyazaki anime films
Jungle Book 1994 with Cary Elwes
>fun
not even the worst death from that movie but yeah, I'd say it's fun.
Mean Girls
Home Alone
OPERATION: DUMBO DROP
It’s the only family friendly Vietnam War movie ever made
>It’s the only family friendly Vietnam War movie ever made
Did you forget this classic?
You’re supposed to pretend this movie is darker than A Serbian Film.
Jumanji
Goonies
For a cartoon series try Redwall. All three seasons are on YouTube
I’m pretty sure all of the Karate Kid movies are supposed to be family friendly.
Even the Hilary Swank one where she already sprouted her glorious breasts.
Also Casper with Christina Ricci is kino
Atlantis and Treasure Planet.
Roger Rabbit
Jason and the Argonauts
Watership Down
The framing narrative is wonderful, Inigo's backstory is excellent. I agree with the other anon that Buttercup's Baby kinda goes off the deep end -- but I still spent awhile thinking about whether it was for, like, artistic purpose or not, and it's a great troll regardless. (Perhaps this was after trolling was developed, but just before artistic purpose was invented?)
I highly recommend Stardust it's very similar
This movie is cheesy fun
De Niro being a cross dressing gay is frickin hilarious
And the awkwardness of some of the scenes works due to the actors embracing the cheese
i liked this movie as a kid but don't like it as an adult except for the ost. i really only like it for nostalgia at this point. i wouldnt call it all ages fun. it is 100% a kids movie
Pirates of the Carribbean 1
2 and beyond aren't great, but Curse of the Black Pearl is absolute family kino, literally the definition of fun for all ages
2 and 3 are good but not as good as 1. curse of the black pearl is a near perfect film
PSA, read the book if you liked the film. The movie is a fantastic adaptation and there wasn't anything major cut out, but the book fleshes everything out with more detail.
Agreed. Goldman was a god.
Though I would mention how the framing narrative is completely different, and how weird the Buttercup's Baby chapter is
The funniest part is how many people (including me) probably came after seeing the movie and figured they had the wrong book after reading 10 pages of William Goldman talking it being a revision of a book about a history of two countries that don't exist.
I do disagree a little that there wasn't anything cut out, the movie really was amazing but iirc Humperdinck was actually cool in the book version and got introduced killing an orangutan with his bare hands in a tower he made specifically for keeping animals he wanted to fight with his bare hands. In the movie his only real confrontation is being b***hed by Westley so he doesn't come off the same even though he does stuff like tracking Buttercup by scent. Also Inigo and Fezzik's book backstories
Calling him a master troll undermines the fact that he was actually funny but I will say that I wondered how serious he was about actually writing the sequel up until he actually died a few years ago
>got introduced killing an orangutan with his bare hands in a tower he made specifically for keeping animals he wanted to fight with his bare hands
I agree with you on this part actually. Humperdinck being a madman makes Wesley punking him out even more impressive.
I liked Goldman's description of Humperdinck being so big and stout and short that he's essentially a walking barrel
You definitely don't get that in the film
The book is a mindblower when you read it the first time having only seen the movie. I put it down and spent a good twenty minutes astonished that it could be adapted at all, let alone so well.
Honestly I like the movie more. The book is too cynical, and I think the best part of the book and movie is the swashbuckling, sincere parts. The movie tones it down to a more cohesive level, and thankfully skips the shit about the narrator, his b***h ex-wife and his fat son
You are probably realizing that Mandy Patinkin is a kino israelite
who gives a frick?
go leave
Wow seething hard there Noseberg. Why are you so afraid to acknowledge your tribe?
It’s like their are afraid that people will notice
It's just they every thread doesn't have to be about you blaming the israelites that live under your floorboards for being a fat unemployed virgin.
It’s a bad time to be making jokes about subterranean israelites, Saperstein.
As you wish
>pretend
pure reddit core corny 1980s shit
antiwhite israeli propaganda
No.
>I just watched the princess bride for the first time last night. What did I think of it?
Never heard of the japan one
What is it about?
Get rid of Columbo reading to the Wonder Years kid and just have it be a straight fantasy movie.
>you thought it was one of the best G-rated films you ever saw
>you thought it was one of the most original films you ever saw
>you liked the performances of most of the actors
>you're still wondering what that shit was in the Fire Swamp where Wesley is stabbing the rat and Buttercup was looking at him differently
>you're wondering if this is the same repurposed set and/or which came first:
Back when israelites still had some talent, so the nepotism wasn't so obvious.
You thought it was tedious and that the dialog was annoying and quippy.
