There are a lot of underrated movies that never get the credit they deserve.  The Equalizer is one.  Denzel Washington as Robert McCall is spot on.  (But then when has Denzel not been?)  He never looks for trouble and always gives the villains the opportunity to back out before he kicks their but.  He comes into a room as a peaceful man and usually leaves a room full of dead guys.

I enjoy the Matrix (still now yes) and think it’s Keanu Reeves' best movie but there are still questions I have about it.  Maybe someone can help me.  First off, the machines are keeping humans alive for their energy, without them knowing. However, when they show the machine world, we see they got nuclear fusion reactors, which can generate more energy than humans. And would also be far less bothersome to maintain, since they wouldn’t try and escape, plus the entire Matrix would be unnecessary.  So why use the humans as 'batteries'?  A second question I have is that the Machines have built this world so humankind can go on living, blissfully unaware of what is truly happening in their world. If this world was built by those who need the humans to stay in it, why did they build it in a time where computers existed and many people were extremely computer literate?  Lastly, and perhaps the biggest question I have is this: going into the Matrix requires TWO people. One to actually go in and out, and another to work the computer and hack into the matrix, as well as working the machines that send the people in. That being the case, how did Cypher get in there, since it is assumed he’s the one that freed everyone else? He make a deal with Agent Smith without anyone knowing?

My favorite movies would lean towards the Bourne, Taken and transporter, transformer collection.

I use to go to the theaters to watch my favorite movies, but so much happening around the theaters, I now wait for the movies to broadcast on T.V., and watch them at the comfort of my own home. My favorite movies of all time is and always will be the X-Men with Hugh Jackson, Famke Jenssen and all those great actors/actress. After watching X-Men movies, I feel like a kid again and make it my business to drop everything Im doing, go out and buy them all and I mean "ALL". Lol. I never miss any of the X-Men episodes, even watch them over and over again.   :party:  Lol. Been watching the X-Men since I was in Middle School and X-Men were broadcasted as cartoons/anime. I enjoy watching the X-Men.   :thumbsup:   ;D

Anyone remember that old Edward Scissorhands movie?  It’s the first one Johnny Depp did out the box of 21Jump Street.  At the end of the film, we see Edward carving some beautiful ice sculptures in the top floor of his mansion. It’s a heartwarming closer but I can’t help but think how did he get the ice up there? First of all, the town and its mansion within, exist in a warm climate and there doesn’t appear to be a freezer up there in the castle. He couldn’t have gotten ice from town because well, he can’t grip it because of his scissorhands, and he had absolutely no friends to help him carry it up there, as everyone was convinced he was a murderer.  In fact, he would have been arrested on sight due to this, so leaving his mansion to get some ice would’ve proved extremely foolhardy. And Kim didn’t bring it to him because she told her granddaughter in the end that she never saw him again after that night. So where did he get that ice?

Ok, in The Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne jumps of his luxurious boat in his civilian guise to board the plane to Hong Kong, but when they sky hook him and Lau off the building later on, he’s in his bat suit. Surely the aeroplane pilot would put two and two together? Even if the pilot was different, the equipment was hired by Wayne Enterprises.  Another big hole is during Harvey Dent’s fundraiser. The joker bursts into the room in typical fashion, sticking his shotgun in the face in several guests in an attempt to find Dent, his latest target. Bruce is not going to let that happen though, whisking Dent off and donning the costume to beat the living hell out of The Joker and his goons. Before he can finish though, his adversary grabs Rachel and throws her out the window. The Caped Crusader heroically saves her, as you would expect, but where does the Joker go? Does he just take off and leave? He seemed extremely determined throughout the rest of the film, so why did he give up so easily with the Batman out of the way? Did he leave the car running?

In the Empire Strikes Back (1980), At the beginning of the movie, Han, Luke and Leia are together at the rebel base on Hoth; at the end, they all make their way to Cloud City to see Lando.  In between, however, in the same amount of time, all that happens to Han and Leia is they’re chased through an asteroid belt, while Luke finds Yoda and achieves an extreme amount of training, which clearly takes place over a long period of time.  What exactly were Leia and Han doing that made them take as long to get to Cloud City as Luke did to do his Jedi training? Probably something Chewie didn’t want to see.

In Terminator 2:Jundment Day, It’s explained in the first Terminator movie that only objects surrounding by organic tissue can time-travel.  Hence why Kyle Reese and the Terminator are both naked when they arrive in the time they’ve travelled too. However, in the second film, the T-1000 travels through time, despite being made entirely of liquid metal. Now while it’s totally possible things have moved on from the Terminator, and Skynet have upped their game, allowing other things to travel through time, that would make the T-1000’s nakedness absolutely unnecessary.
