What was the last movie you've seen?

A NEW HOPE of course rules.

But that was the first one...

You, George Lucas, and my blu-ray disc cover can settle this.

It was the first one made, the first one released. It's the first movie.

Also:
"Episode IV" wasn't added to the crawl until around when Empire Strikes Back came out.

Early concept art and whatnot from Empire also refers to ESB as "Episode II"

Of course, but it will always read Episode IV.

I don't agree with it, but there it is.

Yet another totally redundant and crappy scifi remake.

That review was completely unhelpful in letting me know if Total Recall is worth seeing or not. I saw a few specific minor complaints and an overarching "I didn't like it but I won't tell you specifically why".

Watched the unfinished version in what seems like forever ago. I'm sure the film will be gorgeous, but it's not fun.

It takes itself too seriously and the script doesn't improve on anything.

It's not awful and it is packed with action, it's just like I feel it's the same movie with all the fun sucked out of it.

See, now that's an informative review.

Can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not, as my sarcasm feelers are off today.

Spoilers:

I watched this and gave a review maybe 4 to six months ago on this thread. It was almost a final edit with a lot of unfinished effects, aka, people looking dumb in front of a green screen.

But it isn't set on Mars, the action sequences seem forced, and although fans of sci-fi will enjoy it, fans of the original TOTAL RECALL will complain that there's no campy feel to it. For as crazy as the story is, silly moments bring a breath of fresh air.

Yeah, the tri-tittied prostitute is there, but she doesn't add any actual comic relief.

Of course there are jokes and nods, but I'd say the new TOTAL RECALL lacks a sense of humor.

I'll guess 300mill domestic.

It was not sarcasm. You concisely explained the failings of the movie. Though your follow up actually made me interested in it again, as I'm curious to see if the sci fi stuff outweighs the lack of "See you at the pahty Richter!" and "You think this is the real Quaid? It is!"

Rarely would I ever say "Don't see this movie", and I would probably encourage sci fi fans to see this, as the cut I saw was very scyfy.

I love the "two weeks" and eye popping in TOTAL RECALL. This remake borders on being Michael Bay-ish.

Again, I think this will end up being a feast for the eyes, but not a good movie, nor an improvement (unless you want a serious movie about something that isn't serious).

I'll go watch it again in the theater just to see the edits if that says anything. But I know it doesn't have that [*HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! A tree in my backyard was just struck by lightning (I'll take a picture) and it felt and sounded like a bomb went off*] feeling where you want to start high fiving people when the credits roll.

It's a little JJ Brams without all the lens flare.

I hope to God the new ROBOCOP won't be like this. Polish the story, not the effects.

(Who am I kidding? I don't care if the story sucks, just give me Robocop, the "I'll buy that for a dollar" guy, a bunch of violence, ED 209, a boob or two, and a guy who pisses on dead people)
