Gods of Egypt | Feb 26, 2016 | IMAX release confirmed
tonytr87 replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
Saw it tonight. Not as bad as the trailers make it look, but obviously not a good movie. Amid the bad cgi Proyas manages some wicked images. You can always count on him for that. I'll say this about the whitewashing...it's still kind of egregious, but besides the God characters everyone at least looks like they could hail from the middle east, if not accurate ancient Egypt. The fact that nearly all of the God characters are white while a majority of the mortals are ethnic is a whole nother problem. -
Joy is definitely underrated. It's easy to watch it and think it's a mess, because the film's themes, those things that tie it together, are kinda subtle. The movie's not as concerned with biopic fluff or telling us about the rise of QVC so much as it's concerned with telling a story about the brutality of business and specifically the difficulty women have in business. Watch the movie and note every time two men shake hands in front of Joy and mostly ignore her in that respect.

Feel so alone in my love for Spectre. It's almost as good as Casino Royale, not on par with Skyfall though. I thought the return to old Bond-isms was kinda refreshing, and the directing/cinematography was so on point. It managed to make all those cliches feel new again, including the all-powerful supervillain in a chair. Kingsman might be the most overrated movie of the year. It's fun, entertaining, but completely enamored with itself and thinks it's more clever than it is. Spy parodies are old hat to me at this point, although I enjoyed Spy a little more for it's goofiness.
