My Wife and I went to see The Green Knight (Tomatometer 90%) instead of Jungle Cruise (Tomatometer 63%). We walked out of it about half way thru because it was so boring. From now on we will always go by the audience score. Jungle Cruise Audience Score 93% The Green Knight Audience Score 54%.

RT is fairly useless now. Critic scores are skewed because they judge everything based on wokeness and politics, and audience scores are skewed because, well, most people are morons.

I saw a post on Facebook a couple of days ago that kind of sums this up - "Think about how dumb the average person is, and then realize that half the people are dumber than that."

F9 is by far the worst movie I've ever seen relative to it's budget

**Buehler445** · 08-22-2021, 10:46 PM

I watched Gunpowder Milkshake. It's worth the time. It's super stylized in the vein of 300 and Sin City.

The bad: If you don't like stylized stuff it won't work. It's hit or miss for me but this worked.

If you don't like girlpower shit don't bother. This is done well enough that I'm fine with it. it didn't take me out of it. There is a lot of "No way a girl can hit a dude hard enough to do that damage" stuff, but it's stylized enough that it's already not taking itself too seriously.

The Good: The action sequences, especially when they go hog and choreograph it to music is really well done.

Karen Gillan is really good. Disclaimer: I think she's super underrated so that may cloud my perception here but her and Lena Heady especially are really, really good.

It does a lot of the same stuff movies like Sucker Punch do, but for whatever reason worked for me in this one.

It sets out to do something, it isn't just CGI action porn.

It's long, but I wanted more when it was over.

It's worth the time IMO.

Looks like they could have called it Joan Wick.

Eh, maybe.

It doesn't take itself as serious as Wick does. And the action is far more unrealistic, although, I can say in no uncertain terms that I do not want Michelle Yeoh beating my ****ing ass with a log chain.

Maybe more along the lines of Joan Wick goes Frank Miller?

IDK Joan Wick is funnier. We'll go with that.

Pretty good description. Wife and I enjoyed it.

I watched the new Suicide Squad this weekend. I thought it was fun. I didn't bother over analyzing it much, didn't put much thought into it. The shark made me laugh.

Aries Walker · 08-23-2021, 11:34 PM

Catch-up time. Movies from this year that I've seen:
Loved It: The Dig (with Ralph Fiennes) and The Suicide Squad, two very different movies
Good: Black Widow and Thunder Force
Meh: Without Remorse.
Awful: Wonder Woman 1984.

That's all the new releases I've seen. I'm most looking forward to Only Murders in the Building (Steve Martin/Martin Short), Ghostbusters Afterlife, The War Below (WWI sapper war drama), and Pig with Nicolas Cage.

No idea what it's all going to be about, but it looks joyous and gorgeous

I was aware that the directors of the Lego movie did this I knew it wasn't going to be gritty. A lot of the humor fell so flat and Pratt was okay (he did all he could and is usually good in most stuff) but damn the surrounding cast??! Holy shit they were bad.

4/10

Forgot about this one, saw it too. It was ok - hang your brain on the shelf before viewing. The opening scene was worth the watch and the fail of the transport cool too! But, the continuous gun fire with 0 results was like what?

The first was better than the second, IMO, but overall they're decent. Worth a watch. Kind of a strange middle ground between PG-13 and Rated R so think Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark- not true horror.

The third and final should be out soon so I will definitely catch that one too.

These are on my list as well

ThaVirus · 09-03-2021, 09:51 PM

I actually just watched Don’t Breathe 2. It was entertaining.
