Karl Urban movies

[ladyjanelly]

 I'm watching Chronicles of Riddic now.  I think I saw it in theatres or something.  It looks real familiar, 15 minutes or so in.  Sami thinks the box is amazing and wants to eat it.  Karl's nose is very distinctive.  

Pathfinder was better than expected.  Karl in a loincloth.  Nice action, not a horrible  Hubby liked it too.

Bourne Supremacy was great, but not enough Karl.

Doom was pretty bad.  I really liked Karl's character though, and the moral slide another character had.  The best parts of the movie were like 70 minutes in though.

Commanche Moon: (bought but not yet watched)

Lotr: TtT and RotK: Also great, also not enough Karl.

The Irrefutable Truth About Demons: Haven't seen it, Can't find it.  Is this Karl's "Devour" type movie?  

Star Trek: Started this damn Urban obsession in the first place.  A fun movie with the stupidest plan for a bad guy ever.  It hurts my brain to figure that was the best that Nero could come up with.  The man is not a military genius.

:( I actually saw Doom in theaters and really liked it.

A couple people I know did too. I felt like there was a thread of story-telling gold (or at least silver) running through a pretty dense strata of been-there, done-that. My husband walked in at around 70 minutes and I was like "It's just getting really good" when Sarge shoots the kid and all and then it went to the FPS style and they took Karl off the screen in favor of monsters and a pair of hands and I was yelling at the TV.

Ok, yes, totally valid. Nobody liked the FPS scene, and even I ffwd. But I mean, come on, BFD? AWESOME.

I will admit I watched it in bits and snatches and may have missed something in the big picture. Or maybe I was watching too hard for Karl and didn't appreciate other stuff. I usually like the rock so I don't think it was him that I didn't like.
