Rewatched the first Raimi film and much of the second on the plane yesterday. First one holds up better than I remember, just a well told classic story, and honestly I think many of the issues I remembered in it were more from the second. Second one is still kinda flawed for me but still good.
I think if I wasn't familiar with the books it would be kinda an ok whatever, kill some time series, but when it's an adaptation of my favorite book series I had much higher expectations.
Yeah but this isn't his gut take but a data based take. And considering how Saturdays have been this year with families still a bit depressed, it's hardly inconceivable.
Yes, but if a "replaceable IP" was doing these numbers, then it wouldn't be replaceable anymore. Black Panther and Wakanda were not that well known before the film but now? Iconic.
So really meta and focused on Neo-Trinity romance? Eh. Makes sense from the trailers, but doesn't sound like the kind of Matrix sequel that would appeal to me.
Though the action being bad isn't that big of a deal to me. Honestly I liked the freeway stuff in Reloaded more than any action in the original, but the first movie is still so much better because it has that energy and mystery throughout.
3/10, worst episode so far. Character assassination of Perrin, plus the rest of it wasn't that great either. Only good parts were Nynaeve/Lan stuff, and the scene that began the episode was probably my favorite of the series so far, but after that it just got worse and worse.
