I watched a trailer for this when we went to watch Top Maverick. It looked to be a good, fun movie which is exactly what it should be.Ascender wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 3:26 pm
Thor Love & Thunder - Great fun, enjoyed by all the family. Been interesting reading some of the critical responses to it. I don't know why there's this obsession to over-analyse every single bit of pop culture these days without just being able to enjoy some of it for what it is. Particularly when it doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is.

Re: The Movie Thread
Finished the book (first one), and now watched the movie. Agreed, they've done a brilliant job of keeping it very close to the book, and it felt very authentic, I enjoyed it immensely. I can see that people will find it somewhat anticlimactic as a first part, but I think of it a bit like the first part of LoTR. They simply could not have fitted the whole thing into one movie in a way that people could follow so they picked a good place to end it.RobYob wrote: ↑Sat Apr 23, 2022 7:09 amI read the book only a couple of years ago, it holds up really well.

Ok, I’m not going to lie, I had no clue what was going on for a lot of it but my God what a stunning piece of Cinema. You don’t have to watch it as such - you can just look at it - and marvel at the visuals, the music. Stunning! Simply stunning.
Fuck it, I’m going to give it the full 10 out of 10
I do think it must be hard to follow in the early stages if you don't know it, reading the book definitely helped to be clued up on what's happening without any detriment (in fact, I'd say made it better).

Trainwreck. A 2015 Amy Schumer film about shagging, mostly. Some big names in it. I laughed like a drain.

I don’t know if anyone subscribes to Shudder but they’ve just put a few Alejandro Jodorowsky movies up.

Re: The Movie Thread
Watched yesterday as a family movie. Not as good as Ragnarok but still very entertaining. Opens with some of the best pisstakes of action movie tropes ever. Then bogs down a bit before closing with more very cool hammertime.McSwede wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 6:17 pmI watched a trailer for this when we went to watch Top Maverick.

Almost too many cameos and wtf is with Roy Kent?

The Grey Man
Endless, OTT action that goes a little too far into the F&F realm of unbelivableness. 6/10.

Yeah, that’s about the strength of it.
Still enjoyed it though
Re: The Movie Thread
The Grey Man
Let's not beat around the bush. It's Commando. Or, it's a shit version of Commando (I fucking love Commando).
Ryan Gosling is ok as John Matrix, but randomly turns into a weird smart ass half way through. Chris Evans makes a fucking awful Bennett (and verns Bennett was pretty bad in the first place). Ana whatever is an upgrade from Cindy and I love Billy Bob Thornton, so he can be a decent Major General Franklin Kirby.
But it's still a crappy rip off that I'm not sure I can even be bothered to watch the last 3 hours of (it's fucking long).

Prey
New Predator movie set in Colonial America. The Predator hunts Comanche braves and french fur trappers while fighting a young native woman who wants to be a brave.
I thought it was great, I already liked Amber Midthunder from Legion but this really confirms her as a believable action movie actor.
Definitely worth watching, we watched the Comanche language version.

Sorry to ask a daft question, is that version dubbed?
Re: The Movie Thread
It’s not really a dub as the actors filmed all the scenes twice, once in English and again in Comanche. It’s in the extras if you watch it on Disney+.

Re: The Movie Thread
I started watching it yesterday, but gave up after 45ish minutes. Thought the CGI was so badly done it ruined the experience.

Re: The Movie Thread
To be clear, the screenshot I posted above isn't the CGI from Prey.
Re: The Movie Thread
Agreed.. I thought it was fantastic. I loved how it was shot and the use of different languages with no need for exposition. Best one since the original, even though I have a soft spot for the second one, Gary Busey and all!ZedLeg wrote: ↑Sat Aug 06, 2022 11:28 am Prey
