The Last Movie You Saw?

[Redgrave]

 

I didn't realize until I was about to post this that I watched two buddy cop movies when I didn't intend for that to be the theme. But yeah it's the first time I watched Rush Hour since it originally came out but back then I was too young to understand the jokes so I can appreciate them a lot better now. It was also nice seeing the outtakes in the credits sequence ?

 

I have seen Lethal Weapon before but I really like it. It's probably my favorite buddy cop dynamic and I attribute that to the performances especially by Danny Glover. It's also got a pretty  genuine wholesome ending that I feel like a lot of movies have been lacking in recent years.

After many years I now have a new worst movie. Oh wow this is bad.

@Redgrave Love both. "I'm getting too old for this shit" is still one of my favorite movie quotes ever.

My favorite buddy cop flick is probably Die Hard with a Vengeance though. Not that funny, but insanely cool from opening to closing credits.

 

@GUDGER666 Funny poster though. My first thought was "Why is a mentally challenged Dennis Quaid flying a plane?".

Although I love M. Night Shyamalan's movies, I was skeptical about this one because of the poor ratings on IMDB. But I decided to watch it anyway and in the end I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know why the film got bad reviews, but it is an interesting film with a great twist at the end. I recommend watching.

Probably the best movie about a video game, crazy how that's what happened. I never knew.

Finally sat down to watch this and...... *SIGH*

 

Why is Sonic so wussy in these movies? It was at first acceptable because it was a fish out of water story, but whatever the official amount of time has passed it seems it wasn't enough, because he still acting like the same awkward clumsy kid. I will always applaud writers having Sonic exhibit more traits than being "the cool one", but he STILL IS THE COOL ONE. This Sonic is so lame and annoying, constantly scared and shouting "NO" and having awkward Prat Falls.

 

What makes this more annoying is that Tails and Knuckles are fine for the most part. They act like you would expect them to, with the only problems is them spewing out Exposition instead of weaving it into the story. A good chunk of these minutes are dedicated to the human characters, despite the fact that they mislead you into thinking they're going to leave the movie at the beginning. It just goes back to why they should have never been another "fictional character it turns our world" plot. Now you left having to deal with these other characters that add nothing to the story and is not even the reason we came to see the movie.

 

Well, I guess I can say that I saw it. No, that teaser for the next one did not surprise or shock me, he's probably going to be just as sucky as Sonic is.

I was quite surprised by Kimi. It's a little Soderbergh gem tucked away on HBOmax.

Last night I rewatch The hateful eight for the 10th time ? my favorite western movie for me 

[GUDGER666]

A little disappointing but not bad, worth a watch. It's better than the last 2 Jurassic Worlds anyway.

Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons

 

the movie was average, Batman is in the title just for marketing, this is a Superman and his son focused movie featuring Batman and his son, the CGI was OK but it feels like I'm wathing a cheap video game cutscene at times, the story is nonsense

 

it's one of the lower rated DC Animated Movies for me

[Crzy Minus]

[GUDGER666]

Really dumb movie so disappointed. 

[EDGES]

 

Batman The Doom That Came to Gotham

 

it sounded interesting to see an alternate vrsion of Batman without crazy advanced tech, but in reality the movie was pretty boring, I'll stick with the regular Batman

[blacklight-nero]

 

I liked these movies it was an entertaining watch. ?

[LastMinuteSavior]

 

Cool little movie:

At this point, I wish Hollywood would just hit the pause button on super-hero movies for a few years. It's simply not working anymore.

 

I believe the latest offerings by Marvel and DC have been underperforming. Might be a sign that the audience is tired of this trend. 

 

Ant-Man: Quantumania is doing worse than Ant-Man 1 in terms of money. It's also tied with Eternals for the lowest Cinemascore. Overall, the situation with MCU is not much brighter. Even the COVID-era titles like Black Widow, Shang Chi, and Eternals aside, MCU has been on a slight downward trend. Since Endgame, only Spider-Man films were able to cross the 1 billion dollar mark.

 

On the DC side, Shazam: Fury of Gods flopped completely. DC movies that exist outside of their extended universe are doing better. That said, 2022's The Batman performed worse than 2/3 of Nolan's Batman movie installments.

 

Elsewhere, on Sony side - I don't even know. Morbius famously flopped too.

I don't know if it's a temporary thing and the comic book train is gonna get back on track as soon as Guardians of the Galaxy 3 arrives to theaters, or a slow 10-year long downward trend. It seems like the studios have been looking into video game adaptations more. There have been a lot recently, and so many more are in the production pipeline now. Sony alone is about to adapt every game they've ever made. So maybe there's a chance they'll pause with superheroes. 

 

Edit: lowest cinemascore among MCU films

@Slava Sony has the Kraven the Hunter (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Madame Web (Dakota Johnson) movies in post-production. I'm sure those will be great ?

 

One would have thought Kevin Feige would save Sony Pictures from themselves, but it seems even he has lost his magic touch.

Main problem seems to be that Feige has been throwing most of the movies' budgets at actors, while being cheap when hiring talent behind the camera (directors, writers, cgi artists).

 

Best thing Sony has been doing is teaming up with other studios for the PlayStation productions.

 

Regarding the DC movies. I think they're going in the wrong direction again. Gunn should have fully rebooted the mainline DC universe, and should not have any saying over elseworlds stuff like The Batman or Joker.

I love James Gunn's stuff, but he's a creative. Not a big time producer.

 

I think Gunn is going to have mid results with his DC movies, David Zaslav will sell Warner Bros to another company in a few years, and the DC Universe will just be rebooted. Again.

 

On the Marvel side, word is Bob Iger is back and shaking things up. Wants quality over quantity while saving money where possible.

 

I was also pleased to hear Mahershala Ali was the one twisting Feige's arm to hire a new writer and director for the Blade movie.

I still have a little hope they can create a decent dark corner on the MCU for the midnight suns. Maybe that would freshen things up.

Meanwhile, I hope they put the X-Men and the Young Avengers on ice. That's the kind of stuff we all had enough for the moment, I think.

Legion of Super-Heroes

 

this movie has the most accurate Supergirl design and personality wise I've ever seen, she's great, but the movie itself is weak with a boring story, Supergirl carries the whole movie all the way

also the name is misleading, it's a Supergirl movie, period, which was a pleasant surprise for me

[GUDGER666]

I thought this was actually really good, miles better than last one. Pretty funny as well, MODOK lol. 

[ChilledBrandon]

 

Hence the avatar at the moment. One of the most entertaining movies I've seen in a really long time, really fantastic chemistry between Gosling & Crowe.

Yup, it's excellent.

That scene when Gosling tries a bit of breaking and entering but ends up in an ambulance is hysterical. That's the whole movie actually: very funny, always surprising.

 

Maybe watch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang sometime, if you haven't already.

Similar style, but with RDJ and Val Kilmer. Also directed by Shane Black.

 

And don't forget: nobody gets hurt if they die fast enough.
