Watched The Cloverfield Paradox yesterday.
not as horrible as I thought itâd be.
Last night:
Still âmarvelingâ over the fact that so many people get up and leave just as the credits start.
oh what a pile of stinking bovine excrement. there arenât word in the universe to describe just how awful this was (my opinion of course, so donât get triggered.) Mediocre to bad CGI, uneven pacingâŚ
Forgot to post in here. Saw this yesterday.
yayâŚor nay?
Middle of the road. Yay-ish I guess.
Copy/pasting a response.
The battles were definitely the best part of the movie. Overall the movie was just okay. I like the first one better I think.
I would say Uprising is a movie worth seeing in IMAX for the experience, but thatâs it. Not really a rewatch.
so the trailer was spot on: meh.
guess Iâll wait a couple of weeks to see it.
much obliged .
I actually saw Conan: The Reboot in theaters way back when in 2011, I canât say that I remember too much of it, one of those âit was alrightâ deals IMO. Sadly I donât recall it having any timeless quotes like the original (the stuff AMVs are made of lol).
So the other day I saw Ready Player One. It was meh.
Weirdly this movie came out at least 15 years too late. I understand that the source material was from 2011, but this movie is a kidsâ movie at heart (itâs a live-action cartoon), and all the kids who will appreciate its 70s/80s/90s nostalgia have grown up into world-weary adults now.
Itâs also a textbook case of âToo adult for children, too childish for adultsâ as it, inexplicably, contains one âF-Bombâ, a smattering of âS-grenadesâ, and some slightly risque stuff. Take that stuff out that out though and it could be a decent movie that parents could have some fun taking their kids to.
âŚweirdly, there was no mention of VR Troopers in the movie. Seriously, the one 90s show that was so appropriate for this was skipped.
Avengers: Infinity War
âŚthis movie is proof that Hollywood couldâve made a great adaptation of Dragonball Z if theyâd wanted to.
but why would Hollywood spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a property they donât own (Dragonball) when they can spend that same amount of money on something they do own, lock stock and barrel, and milk it for all itâs worth?
Maybe it could be like crop rotation, to help make sure that people donât get tired of Marvel films? It doesnât look like thatâs in danger of happening, but maybe thatâs what farmers thought until the fields went fallow?
The thought occurs to me that the guys at Marvel kinda-sorta want to make a DBZ movie. Killmongerâs costume in Black Panther is strongly suspected of being a homage to Vegeta, and I came away from Infinity War thinking that it had a lot of similarities to classic DBZ.
