You're missing the point, I'm saying part 1 and part 2 were made as completely separate films. Your claim that they shot some of part 2 during the production of part 1 is just untrue. This film's budget is not covered by part 1. I was gonna see Dune this weekend but I noticed Cineworld is showing Dune on the 29th of Feb, so can do a double bill over two days.

Errrrrr this was great lol. Really enjoyed it. Matthew Vaughn back on form after some quite lackluster movies. His best film since Kick Ass. I had misunderstood what the film was about. I straight up thought it was just a spy movie with Henry Cavill and Dua Lipa. So a lot of the movie was quite the surprise lol. Was cool seeing big name star after big name star pop up throughout the film. This film was a really pleasant surprise. Also I want to nominate this film for Best Original Song already. Banger. Really don't understand how this cost over $200M though. The CGI is pretty weak. The big name actors have quite minor roles.

I have no objective facts to base this on but I have a feeling this is gonna be like those straight-to-VHS sequels Disney used to do, where the sequel has none of the creativity, charm or quality of the 'real' movie, they just hire the voice actors and put out some garbage that kids won't notice is worse.

Trying to decide whether to go see the first one in imax this weekend. I did watch it when it came out and I thought it was super boring. Has anyone rewatched it and found it improved on second viewing? I’ve forgotten everything that happened in it, so dunno if I can be bothered with the second one. On the other hand, maybe a rewatch will change my mind.

Ah, that makes much more sense.

Argylle has a 200m budget???? Wtf. I thought this was like a 50-80m mid tier production.

I really don’t understand the bait and switch marketing. It just leaves the audience disappointed. That aside, I enjoyed this. A couple of the songs are pretty fetch, the rest are merely serviceable. Aulii Cravaho and Renee Rapp are really good. Didn’t even know Renee was an actor, I only know her from her music, so she was a pleasant surprise. Music aside, I didn’t really see the point of the film as it’s a near word for word copy of the original. I don’t know if the stage musical is the same but normally for a film-to-stage musical, the musical adds new stuff and puts a few twists on the original, maybe exploring more characters. So this feels a bit redundant when the original is such a classic. It’s enjoyable, but it’s no Mean Girls.

I have pretty mixed feelings about Monarch. First 3-4 episodes were great, then the next 3-4 episodes kinda sucked, then this final episode was pretty good and has me hooked for more. I might rewatch GvK this weekend which I thought was pretty sh1te in the cinema. Does anyone know what Apple is like with renewing series? Do they have the same habit as Netflix of frequently abandoning shows after 1 season? The only other Apple show I've watched is For All mankind

Holy fuck this was boring. Excruuuuuciatingly dull. I can't remember the last time I seriously considered walking out of a film. There were about 8-10 people in my showing. One couple left about half hour in, another left an hour in. I can't blame them. -

Except you cant talk about spoilers in the main thread. hence I thought there would be more people discussing the film here
-
They could do tons of new stuff. They can make whatever creatures and monsters they want. The franchise is not controlled by Toho, they aren't bound to the existing Godzilla lore. Some brand new monster hunting films would be great. Create something new instead of doing the same thing over and over again.
-
I just watched the trailer and oh wow does this look crap. Shame how bad the last two films were compared to the first two. I hope they figure out what they want to do with this franchise instead of recycling Godzilla+Kong. At least Monarch was pretty good tho I havent watched the final episode yet. Definitely captured some of the atmosphere of the first two films.

It's been written by the same people that wrote the previous 3 films so I think we can at least be hopeful that it'll be similar quality to those? I don't see why you'd write this off as a flop regardless of how good it is, every Apes movie seems to find a decent sized audience. One of the longest running franchises in history, I think it'll be OK.
