  1. Its safe to say I expected something good..but what I got blew me away. Humor was great, a lot of beautiful shots in the film, plus at times it felt like a "based on a true story" kind of deal... Loved it. Easily one of the best for me this year. A

  3. Heneral Luna Box Office Est. budget: P80 million or $1.7 million
  4. I'm wondering how they'll work out Egerton's filming for Robin Hood Origins and Vaughn's preproduction/filming for I am Pilgrim.
  5. On topic, my friends with casual movie tastes wanna see this so I've got a good feeling about this as well. Off topic, Jaws is another great example of knowing what to add and what to leave out when adapting source material.
  6. ^Yeah, looking back, maybe I shouldnt have. But still though, after all the speculation of whether Pacific Rim sequel rumors would go anywhere in the first place, and the subsequent announcements of a release date, comics and (probably now canceled) animated series..it just seemed like such a triumph for the people who wanted to see them go somewhere else with the universe. But anyway, what's done is done but I'll just keep hoping for the best. If you guys are happy with the recent developments, I'm cool with that as well.
  7. I liked it a lot. Good chemistry (I liked Hammer the most), a strong sense of style and direction, and a nice story twist or two. Really loved the '60s aesthetic and the use of music in this one. Definitely would want to watch this again. 3/4

  9. I wanted to like this. The trailer made me excited for it, actually. But overall, I was disappointed. I think the 2 reviews above mine echo a lot of my thoughts about the movie already, but I just wanna add a few things. Its hard to feel any chemistry between a team when said team doesn't actually spend a lot of time dealing w/ situations together. The stakes didn't feel high at all especially since they formally introduce Doom as the villain so very, very late into the film. The climax almost felt like a second act culmination rather than an actual finale. But for some positives..well the cast clearly worked with what they had, and the visuals were good in some scenes (not all though..) Plus I noticed a lot of stuff from the trailers got cut out. The money shot of Thing raising his fist, him getting dropped from an airplane..its all gone. If I'm in a good mood, 2/5. If not...even lower.
  10. I liked it, but didn't love it. Pros: Cruise and the rest of cast were awesome. All of them could be humorous or dead serious if the plot called for it. Action sequences were great, really really loved the Morocco chase (INTENSE). Opera scene is great too. In fact, the first two acts were excellent IMO. The whole thing really felt like spy movie through and through with the exotic locations, fancy tech, daredevil situations etc. It held on to that premise without ever going too over the top. Cons: I didn't really feel the threat/stakes in this one. The Syndicate, despite being a "rogue nation" and all, didn't feel..big. They just felt like one schemer and bunch of henchmen (despite being former secret agents). I liked in the how in the first act they seemed so mysterious & untouchable, but as the film went on, they just started to seem incompetent. Despite them orchestrating the plane bit, the Chancellor's assassination, and Hunt telling Benji about their operations, they just didn't click with me as this super-powerful terrorist network. I can also see what they were trying to do with the third act, make it more low-key and it was very average to me with its convenient and arguably cliche plotting. From certain interviews you could tell McQuarrie just worked with what he had but he wasn't necessarily ecstatic with the finished product. Still, props to the crew for the workmanship. Overall, I loved the first two acts but the villain and third act didn't work for me. Slightly mixed on this but I'll give it a 7 for now. Edit: Slowly warming up to the third act/villain after some thought. I should give this another watch.
  11. Ant-Man opened to $2.7M. Higher than GOTG's $2.4M, so not bad at all.
  12. Brad Peyton (San Andreas) to direct. Plus, script by Ryan Engle (Non-Stop). http://deadline.com/2015/07/rampage-brad-peyton-dwayne-johnson-san-andreas-new-line-midway-arcade-1201483377/
  13. "#alien going very well. Love this project" Some new concept art was released and Ripley & Hicks are back by the looks of it.
