This wasn't good. It was messy, sloppy, hacked to bits in post. There's about 5 action sequences in the first better than anything in this. The CG in this had ant man 3 syndrome where it all just looked like messy sludge that blended together. I don't know why but I got the feeling Momoa was drunk during filming this. His face was puffy and he was obnoxious. He wasn't aquaman in this, he was Momoa on a bender. Reminded me of Shazam 2 where the worst thing about the film is the lead. A big character gets an offscreen death from some some seemingly big event happening that gets referenced by a single line and then its never followed up on again. Just vanishes from the film, likely cut out in post. Mera is in scenes but has almost no dialogue very evident she was cut around in post. The best parts of the films are Patrick Wilson who does his best with an awful script, and the cool 50s sci fi aesthetic. The film it most reminded me of was JL2017. A film ripped apart and stitched back together. 4/10

Wan has 2 billion dollar films and created 2 of the biggest horror franchises of all time, and created the biggest horror franchise of all time on top of that. And he is teaming up with Jason Blum to start a new company. He will be more than fine. He already stated he will likely do another horror film next.

Except when you try to police the rumour mill all it does is muddy the waters even more because the ones you don't speak on now get given more legitimacy because he didn't shut it down. His absence of a public comment on Gal's comments were utterly bizzare when he is out responding to Twitter comments from people with 17 followers. And when he does speak, he trips over himself. No dual roles But Sean Gunn has them so hey now you gotta clarify even more and make it even messier. Also, aren't 2 of the first projects creature commandos and the authority. How is that not giving priority to obscure characters over fixing the classic heros first?

Thanksgiving | November 17, 2023 | Sony | Eli Roth

Don't think I've ever been more bewildered by the scores this movie got. It was a serviceable late 90s/early 2000s slasher, and nothing more. There was really nothing separating this in quality from stuff like My Bloody Valentine remake, Valentine, Urban Legends etc. A few fun kills and probably one of Eli Roths best films but that's not a high bar. 6/10 -
That was a bad trailer. Real bad. It looked like Kevin feige produced it and Peyton Reed directed it. Not at all what I expected. Gives off studio mandated reboot vibes, never would have even guess Miller directed it from that trailer. It's just so sterile, clean and digital looking. And Hemsworth and Anya are no Hardy and Theron.
