Well, the greed one had 4 arms/hands (makes sense for greed to be grabby) and what I assumed was gluttony was round and had a huge mouth (which opened up in the third act). Oh yeah they were definitely imposing in the first act as statues. Creepy indeed, in a good way.

I liked it! Good movie. Best aspect for me was the humor, which it had a lot of. Especially the jokes poking fun at being a superhero. Surprisingly though, more crude humor and potentially unsettling scenes/deaths than I imagined. The characters are likable, and I always enjoy Mark Strong in villainous roles. I do think the Seven Sins came off more as demon goon fodder rather than some terrifying presence though.

Just came from a showing (1st day of release over here). I liked it, good movie. Best parts for me were the humor (a lot of it and well done too!) Crowd was into the humor as well, so I think word of mouth will be good.

7 pm EST? Edit: what @CoolEric258 said

Nice!!

Brad Peyton films w/ the Rock were WB releases though...might be best to brace yourself 🤔

Only saw this now. The full thread seems promising! Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Rewatched the trailer only to discover a VERY spoilery shot Either way still cautiously optimistic for this.

Couldve even been higher if screens werent removed to make way for the MMFF

Rampage!!!

Going by set photo concept art, Godzilla and Kong look very much evenly matched.

I think the trailer has some weird editing, but Im liking the footage shown so far.

I think we'll be seeing the Genie in at least 2 forms: his classic blue form when he's first released (the unfinished form as mentioned in the article) and a human form that we'll be seeing as he interacts with the rest of the movies cast to not give away his genie identity ("Prince Ali" and how in the EW pic they seem to be talking in public). So Im guessing the EW look is gonna make it on screen, its just that its one of the Genie's many assumed forms.

Roughly a 13% drop from the last film..

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Rami Malek killed it as Freddie Mercury, and I think the stylishness of it all along with the rapid fire pace is gonna work well with general audiences like it did with me. I can see where the critics are coming from about it not diving deeper into Queen (especially the other bandmates)...but as a audience-friendly, blockbuster window to at least introduce general audiences to Queen..it absolutely worked for me. A

First look at Kong! He looks more rugged to me (unless this is just a reused likeness of the Peter Jackson Kong)

Perfect example of a B-level superhero film. Tom Hardy with the ham, some neat action/VFX sequnces (though the quality noticeably drops in the finale), a dash of humor (some unintentional) and half baked subplots & supporting characters. Its not great, but its a decent way to kill some time.

The animation is a thing of beauty.

Classic Soundwave!!!

Seems like it. Significant 3rd act changes and more if we go by this article https://screenrant.com/predator-movie-reshoots-changes-shane-black-fox/

Just came from watching this since its opening day where Im from. Anddddd it wasnt very good for me. The comedy was the best part of the movie IMO. Gave the crowd a good laugh a couple of times. The action was just too dark or bland in terms of choreography/editing. Though theres one nice moment of pure terror involving the "Ultimate Predator" in the pine forest. Honestly, theres a lack of suspense to the Predators. Kinda takes away the gravitas when you see a Predator running on foot like he was in a 100 meter dash. Some moments out of left field too like a certain plot point with a Predator Hound and the ending sequence. Cast is fun to watch though...even if it disposes of some of them as if they were extras. 🤔 And if the comedy was the best part...then I guess the VFX was the worst part for me. The climax fell flat especially because of this, IMO. 5/6 out of 10. (For me, Predator would be a 9, Predators a 7) Edit: Apparently, the forest battle at night (my favorite action beat of the whole movie) was only added in the reshoots.

It wasnt very good for me. Pros: -I liked the comedy, for the most part. Sure there were some misses, but a lot of the big humor moments landed nicely with the crowd and me. -Sterling Brown's character & the Loonies were fun to watch. -Theres a good amount of Predator screen time. You dont have to wait long between appearances. -Neat forest battle. Theres a moment of pure terror where they shine a flashlight on the Ultimate Predator finishing off a soldier. Cons: -Hopefully it wasnt just my cinema, but the nighttime scenes were frustratingly dark here. And there are a lot of nighttime scenes. -I think Ive been spoiled by the wonderful choreography of recent action films both big & small. The action here just wasnt choreographed/edited to be visually interesting. A couple of slashes here, there. Rinse & repeat. -Despite the characters being fun, the movie disposes of them pretty casually. Sterling Brown literally dies in a blink-and-youll-miss-it moment. -Some plot stuff are out of left field. The hybridization/invasion plot point is understandable, but the characters managing to tame one of the Predator Hounds by shooting it in the brain felt like it belonged to a more comedic film. -A lot of the effects were subpar, IMO. Wonder if it was cos of the reshoots. -The 3rd act is easily the weakest of the three. Rushed and with the weakest VFX in the film. -Kinda felt some stuff were left out in the editing room. Our introduction to Olivia Munns character seemed awkward...as if we were supposed to have already met her. Some other scenes just didnt...seem right to me too. Honestly, Im just prolly being nitpicky cos of how disappointed I was in the incoherency of the night time scenes and the blandess of the action. Should give this another go in a brighter cinema. 5/6 out of 10.
