Great movie, which made a huge emotional impact on me (though I am a sucker for that), with a lot of scenes that were hard to stomach (even if there are no graphic details, what the movie leaves to your imagination is heartbreaking enough). I don't really care for the (private) believes of the main actor or the religious background of the studio that (finally) released the movie. This whole Anon thing (which I had to google to "understand" it) is as stupid as (most) conspiracy theories get, no doubt about that, but in the end strange people tend to believe (in) strange things. So I just ignore it, live and let live (wow, haven't seen that flick for ages). I'll admit I am intrigued to give my two cents on how this movie is (imo) treated unfairly by the US mainstream media, but why even bother when I can see where such a discussion would go. It seems that northern American people nowadays tend to react harshly on many insignificant things, and I am simply not up for a fight in the trenches up in no man's land. Also, I assume I would have to be an American myself to really understand all the necessary context. What I DO understand is that this is a real good movie, and I will watch it again as soon as it is available over here in cinemas or on streaming services. That's all folks.

Yep. Especially when you take this part of an interview from march into account (as featured on https://news.sky.com/story/oscars-2023-academy-president-says-new-diversity-rules-next-year-wouldnt-change-a-single-film-in-contention-even-historically-12829563 ) "Every single past Oscar nominee for Best Picture would still qualify under new diversity rules being introduced by the Academy Awards next year, according to its President, Janet Yang. Speaking exclusively to Sky News ahead of Sunday's Oscars ceremony, when asked whether a film like All Quiet On The Western Front - top-heavy with white male stars - would still be eligible under the Academy's new criteria (which kicks in in 2024) Yang confirmed: "We did find that, given these new guidelines all the past nominations would still qualify."" Oppenheimer should be able to get it's place in the spotlights no questions asked.

What a pleasant surprise. I just finished watching the movie and... well, I nearly had skipped the movie because of some mentions of heavy virtue signaling and orange man bad references (which I am simply so very tired of). What I got instead is a very good Wonder Woman movie that took me on a rollercoster ride of emotions - and I mean that in a good way. I laughted, I bit my finger-nails (literally), I got thrilled and upset and I cried when the makers intended to make me cry. And this is all I want (more: expect) from such a flick. All-in-all this movie felt very light-hearted to me, despite its third act drama, and therefore was the perfect year's end movie for me to leave all the - pardon my french - shit behind me that I got to deal with in 2020. I have to (and will) watch it again to see if I rank it higher than the first one in the end. At the moment I would answer that with a loud and heartfelt "Of course it is!", but then again the used Kleenex' beside me are still wet, so I am still "a bit" under the influence so to speak. 9/10 with a tendency to 10/10.

The Laymen (two aussies who are running a video game YT blog) are VERY convinced... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ5lKVSfA_8 ...so am I. 😊 By the way, that cinema Sam and Raph are visiting: is this a kind of out of world super über cinema? I have never ever seen such a theatre (leather seating, seats that can go into a relax position) here in Germany. Do such things really exist?

Watched it today and was very positively surprised. It has a slow start to set things up and the story is somewhat lukewarm, but the interactions between the actors are point on and funny. Also, this is modern moviemaking done right imo. It caters (meant in a positive way) to both old-school viewers as well as a modern pc crowd and brings these two "opposing forces" together (except maybe the most hardcore ones). And, imo, hits that home. My only qualms are that they underused Richard Roundtree, bringing him very late into the story. But then again these (roughly fifteen) minutes really deliver. Clearly not a masterpiece but an improvement over the year 2000 Shaft movie. I will definately watch it again.
