Well it's not another copy paste critique of capitalism, whites or religion so it's automatically going to be <7/10.

America Ultra wasn't bad but it's super forgettable. The only thing I like about it is that it introduced me to Connie Britton
Movie plots sound off the wall when you don’t get any of the references. That is one of the most nonsensical sentence I have ever read but it’s not anons fault
I remember hearing gays like you saying straight out that they didn't like it because Denzel being the lead made it so they couldn't hate it for white supremacy

alright well frick me, I thought this was a flop that nobody liked. That was why I avoided it for years. Then I finally saw it on HBO or something and was surprised
criminally underrated film. Im not gonna call it perfect, but it has so much going right for it.
I think it went over a lot of peoples heads; basically people trying to act cool by not liking it. Its kinda about adults acting like kids, which is a touchy subject in todays world uk?
Both film adaptations have some weird writing issues. Like with the cabin scene with Quincy and Moon: it's dumb in the original film that they let the guy have a knife, and it's dumb in the second film where they don't check them for weapons.
Funny you should post this, as I have just minutes ago finished watching the 1969 version. I had already seen the Coen one twice and liked it but my tastes have changed since then. I still think on balance it's one of the better movies made these days, but that just goes to show how much better things used to be. Anyway the 1969 version has the far superior Maddie and that makes most of the difference. I've heard the 2010 version praised for it's landscape shots and there too, 1969 is far better. Not least because they don't have that awful grey filter and it actually instills a longing the frontier, not depression.
With that I've finally come to the black and white John Wayne movies. I'll watch Stagecoach and Red River, but that will be it. And already watched this week: >The Quiet Man >The Searchers >True Grit
Personally I love Big Jake, I know it’s not Wayne’s most famous role but the turn of the century technology intruding on the frontier made for some kink storytelling.
Need to cut out half the film and include any deleted scene with Clive Owen, then its watchable.
"Here comes Santy Clause!"
meh. I wont judge you cause its not terrible, just dont try to force it on anyone else.
forgot pic
similar to Valerian; terrible movie with some good in it. I like the incel kings relationship with his mother. 90% of the movie was awful, 10% was memorable. That makes it more worth watching than 100% mid.
I love this piece of shit like you wouldn't believe
The movie itself isn't great, but I really liked the implementation of the power in fights. Someone clearly enjoyed the opening of Xmen 2 and wanted to expand on some things.
I was obsessed with this movie 10 years ago, before I had seen it. The trailer I saw for it seemed really cool. Then it took forever until I caught in on TV and when I did I was whelmed at best. Oh well
Mr. Nobody and, I'm serious too, Morbius. I honestly think Leto gets a bad wrap from Morbius and the mom's gonna freak stuff, he's really not bad of an actor. Morbius is like a 90s comic book movie and I really thought it was pretty good of viewed through that lens.
Man on Fire is kino of the utmost quality, the frick you talking about? Its incredibly well written, developed, shot and directed. Its fantastic. >Where are you going, Creasy? >Im going home too.

Did you actually follow the plot or did you just like the vibe and visuals? Because I don't believe anyone who tells me they understood it
Explain to me the temporal pincer attack or the two rockets thing.
The rocket thing was just a distraction so the guy could get to the tunnel without being seen. Temporal pincer attack was having one team fight the battle in reverse to learn what happened and provide the normal team with information about where to go and what to expect. Because the normal team landed where the inverted team was extracted from they are able to fight the battle with them.
I got all that but how did they deploy the team moving backwards? Like, okay, your guys are at the base and you send them in...but that's moving forwards. Literally just where and how do you deploy them?
You just deploy them after the battle is over in a different spot, blue team started on a hill near the hypocenter, red team started below outside the town and they moved in opposite directions through the town. It's the same as if you attacked the base with two teams at two different drop points, but one is just dropped later and they're inverted.
I love this movie, I've seen it maybe 20 times. You go through cycles of it making sense then not. Theres so much to notice. Like he's guessing at what to do in the hostage scenes before/after the car chase
I like the creativity of the fight scenes, some of the visuals and set pieces, and some acting (like the "we get up to some fun" scene), but that writing and the rule set of the world really don't make sense.
I honestly think that Quantum Break did a "Nolan-esque" time travel story FAR better (and I'd argue it's the best written story Remedy ever made): https://youtu.be/r-3NO8HRazc?si=NjczKaFPRGUtMjfb
Yeah no offense anon, but I'm not gonna watch a 5-hour compilation of video game cutscenes

>Explain to me the temporal pincer attack or the two rockets thing.
Been a while since I rewatched it but as far as I remember there are basically 2 teams moving in opposite directions of time, with their operation colliding at certain points like when the rockets collide. The team from "the past" spent some time going back in time while the future team experienced time at a normal pace but went back in time as the mission started
>and I'd argue it's the best written story Remedy ever made
Eh, maybe on a technical level. I found it to be quite boring in comparison to their other works.
I've seen all of the Death Wish sequels except 5, and I enjoy them for the schlock factor, mostly.
I actually really like this one moment from the end of 2, where after getting caught killing the last rapist, he just slumps down in a chair, not really caring what happens to him at that point.
Saw it three times in the theater during its run. Shocked that the overall reception was barely lukewarm-ish. And people's criticisms were so over the place, seems like viewers disliked it for completely opposite reasons from each other (while sometimes liking the parts that others disliked).
Literally THE best film of 2021 for me hands down.
Watch the trailer, it's very honest in conveying the overall vibe and mood without giving away major spoilers. If you're worried about the latter, then I guess watch the trailer, wait for a week to forget the details a bit, then watch the movie.
But also, I can't fathom the concept of contemplating watching something but being not sure because WHAT IF DISAPPOINT. Just watch it mate. You've spent more time worrying about it than you would have "wasted on a disappointing movie".
The Thing (2011). Perfectly good flick apart from the unfortunate and demoralizing "nah let's throw all the realized real special effects in the trash even though we spent the money already, we have to make the point that creature builders aren't needed anymore so they start using computers instead".

That guy from the Facebook movie was in it and the Dyke from the vampire movies
American Made. Pure Cruisekino.

It is now.
American Ultra? I didn't catch it, what did you like about it?
It got piss-poor critical reviews when it came out and you never hear people talk about it

but everyone likes this movie
Man on Fire was terrible, theres a few good scenes but in general its pretty awful
Cope, it's gigakino
Ending was mid
ain't no way
Nope. A black man sacrificing his life for a little white girl it's always kino
I remember hearing gays like you saying straight out that they didn't like it because Denzel being the lead made it so they couldn't hate it for white supremacy
based. I like the guy but denzel is an overrated Black person
Since when do people not like this movie?
I've never met anyone who's seen this movie and didn't at least think it was ok.
alright well frick me, I thought this was a flop that nobody liked. That was why I avoided it for years. Then I finally saw it on HBO or something and was surprised
>Then I finally saw it on HBO or something and was surprised
Pretty good, innit?
The best fallout movie except for maybe Bounty Killer

An unfortunate typo, but I’m leaving it for keks
Much better than the original True Grit imo.
I fricking love it
Yeah it's fantastic.
Cannot fathom why it gets so much hate
when the dude said he'll just sit there and slap his crusty balls against the door or whatever
coudl have been better but it is a fun movie. I wish it didn't try so hard to be modern
