Artair457 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 So I finally saw Dr. Strange 2 and I thought it was mid. It has alot of interesting concepts & ideas but I wish it had focused more on the Dr. Strange Lore, Characters & World. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LastMinuteSavior Posted May 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2022 Had a lotta fun watching this, mainly due to the amazing job from the stunt team. Very well choreographed and shot fighting scenes. A heartfelt homage to the long standing legacy of chinese martial arts cinema. Also thought Awkwafina was brilliantly cast as Simu Liu's sidekick. They have amazing chemistry. On the downside, I wish Marvel would go for quality over quantity in the CGI department. Visual effects range from great to awful in this movie. And I feel like it could have been avoided. This movie didn't need so many cgi shots. The story was good. Would have been great if they had fleshed out a few story beats. Still, pumped to see where they take this characters next. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRodriguez87 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Yeah, it's like a modern day Roger Rabbit, if Roger Rabbit sucked. I didn't hate this movie like I thought I would, but to imply this is even in the same space as WFRR is to admit one doesn't have a clue of why that movie's considered a classic. There is no compelling story here, no interesting characters, no engaging mystery, no sense of danger, no commentary on the characters or premise its named after. All this movie has is references. Not jokes, references. "Hey, that character exists! Hey, here's some Rescue Rangers merchandising! Hey, One Saturday Morning!" Ok, I'm sorry, they do have the meta jokes. You know, the very wussy vanilla Disney variety, including "Hey, aren't some of the tropes in our movies silly?" or "Wouldn't it be dumb if we did the very obvious corporate thing *winkwink nudgenudge*) The choice to not use the original Chip/Dale voices was a baffling one, not helped that John and Andy are terrible with their acting. They had no problem getting the original voices (or near perfect soundalikes) for Monterrey and Gadget. But this is where I admit that I smiled once during this entire movie; when the Rangers are actually back together. For one minute, and right before we hit the end credits, but again, I won't lie about how I felt. Also, Men's Warehouse. I laughed at that. Again, despite all the negative stuff I listed (and I DO consider it a negative), I just felt disappointed watching it, not enraged or anything. For me, it's that standard modern Disney disappointment; gorgeous visuals wrapped around nothing but wasted opportunities. Instead of being anything related to Rescue Rangers, we get "Ralph Breaks The Internet While Disney Shells Out A Few Extra Dollars for Other Properties (including one I THOUGHT we all agreed on should've remained buried after a huge fucking stint was made about it). But it's best not to get too worked up about it. Critics and fans will suck it's acorn for a week or two then forget all about it. Plus, I won't argue the price I paid for this.

Popular Post El Duderino Posted May 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) I've recently bought the James Bond Collection which I'm now going through in chronological order. The most recently watched movie was "Diamonds Are Forever" from 1971 - the final Bond film staring Sean Connery. A very forgettable flick. Nothing worth mentioning about it. It sucks. End of story.

sillyrobo75 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Watched 2 movies this past weekend. The Thirteenth floor, a sci fi in the same vein, thematically at least, as The Matrix or Dark City. It was fine, it had its moments, but I found the main actor to be quite bad, and the story was a bit too predictable in the 2nd half. Do not recommend watching the trailer as it spoils a major plot point. 6/10 The 2nd movie I watched was The Name of the Rose, a historical mystery. I remember reading part of the novel years ago and the movie definitely felt less complex and elaborate, I still enjoyed it, especially thanks to some great performances, and I did really like the setting. But in the end I felt something was missing. 7/10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Infected Elite Posted May 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2022 not bad at all for a game movie. Only part that annoyed me was the free falling.. that doesn't seem possible. Ever. But its a movie, physics need not apply. Plus Sophia Ali was amazing as Chloe. Would be nice to see a sequel from this. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eraezr Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Saw The Suicide Squad. __Like__ -Movie is distilling better of what a suicide squad is about rather than how Studio Squad (2017) did it. They actually feel like villains too rather than the sandpapered versions. Most important thing to get right. -Narrative format is efficient. -Ratcatcher is a good OC. -Bloodsport wears his mask in formal combat. I disliked the lack of mask with Deadshot in Studio Squad. -Harley actually feels like a terrible person unlike the last SS. -Cinematography is decent. -Harley’s machine gun blossom. -If I pretend the first 15 minutes isn’t there, Bloodsport is my favourite character. Peacemaker was all right but the hype oversold him for me. __Dislike__ -The way Gunn tries to build Bloodsport’s character gravitas is laughable, with how Waller was easily compromised in the control room (breaking the immersion of would-be security protocols in Belle Reve. *Basic* security protocols) and leeching on Superman over the whole ICU lore thing. Personally I can reckon well enough with the character without all of that. It’s Idris Elba. -The action scenes are underbaked in technical execution and some sequences don’t make logical sense like when Bloodsport and Pmaker were raiding the encampment - it was like the enemies were in an awareness stasis, just letting Bloodsport walk upto them to get killed. How did that first guy set aflame not scream in pain??? This Hollywood trope repeats several times in the movie. -The theme of anti-American theme is opaque, simplified and naïve that reduces it down to a cliché of a cigar smoking general who wants to be “taken seriously”. I’ve seen a lot of anti-American sentiments in different forms and none of them are close to being like that. The movie only wants to reinforce that an American black ops will help the “rebels” liiiiiike ziiiiing ! Like ISIL was formerly rebels? Al Qaeda? I don’t know if Gunn’s cynicism was counting on the cultural intelligentsia of nationalism to turbo the movie’s box office but it looks like it didn’t. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastMinuteSavior Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 It's cheesy and emotionally manipulative, but I fucking love this movie. I watched this countless times over the last 20 years, but the thrills and the feels still get me. Every time. Stoic heroes. An extreme situation. A sociopath douchebag for villain. Edge of your seat supense and amazing action set pieces. This is the good stuff I grew up with. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
