The concept is SO F*CKING GOOD for a Dracula movie (shocked no ones done it before), that I'd still go see it even with 0% ratings ha.

I'm a big fan of Ridley's historical epics usually but I'm not overly hyped for this. I agree with everyone else, Joaquin is horrifically miscast and trying to condense his whole life into this is a recipe for disaster.

Incoming directors cut saves Ridley's film lol

Read some reviews on Letterboxd and seems dumb action also doesn't deliver in this one and Megs are underutilized
It's joever. The first one failed at delivering on its premise too but the trailers here were so promising

This look great.
I'm an unapolgetic saw fan. But jigsaw and spiral I didn't care for. I always loved the grungy aesthetic of saw 1-6, and then they dropped it in 7. And its been 3 straight of what I consider the worst of the franchise.they really lost their way of what the franchise was.
Saw 6 is the 2nd best after 1. I feel like if you watch saw 1-6 back to back it strengthens them as a whole.
How I rank them:
1
6
2
3
5
4
Jigsaw
Spiral
7
Yeah 7 is funny bad at least (which I can't say for Jigsaw or Spiral) but it totally drops the ball on the cliffhanger from 6. They built up the most insanely convoluted soap opera storyline and just didn't do anything with it in its finale.

Saw X looks great, back to basics. If the twist ending is able to reverse Jigsaw's death in some insane way, it'll be film of the year for me.

Absolutely disgusting
Should have released MI the weekend after Indy or at least delayed it until August 11.
Paramount has a stake in Indy so couldn't have it compete.

I watched the trailer on mute because I'm at work and I think it looks great! So can't comment on the needle drop used.

Somebody needs to explain to me how MI3 is the worst when it has the best villain and the only romance with any heart.
I like MI3, it's just the least cinematic and most forgettable. Only good villain though, PSH is excellent in it and the Vatican scene is great.

Finished my MI rewatch, my opinions on these really changed a lot since I last saw them!
Fallout > MI 1 > Rogue Nation > Ghost Protocol > MI 2 >> MI 3

Boooo, I wanna see how they design (and blow up) Krypton.

Gen Z is going to hopefully force Hollywood to do better. Millennials were much more easily placated with nostalgia.
Having seen what occupies Gen Z entertainment wise...we're trading one bad thing for something worse.

A Verbinski Indy movie would've probably cost more than this one too, given the budget overruns of both his Pirates sequels and The Lone Ranger, and I've heard Lucasfilm hasn't been the best in managing their production costs either lately.
Well, this Indy film cost $300m and looks awful visually, not a single good set piece. Verbinski's would've been a flop at that budget too but at least it would've LOOKED like $300m!

Huh. Wonder why this is the case, since Disney's owned Indiana Jones for a decade now. Maybe some lingering contract hitch?
And they didnt do the mountain fade in!!! WTF

Indiana Jones has never been cool. And it's my favorite franchise. But I remember when Shia hyped up the KOTCS at the MTV Movie Awards and it was absolutely crickets. And that was 15 years ago and before that movie damaged the reputation of the franchise. Top Gun is still a cool military movie. Mission Impossible is still a cool spy franchise. Indy is more akin to Bond and probably even less hip than that. The crowd for it is 65 and up.
Idk I was a kid in 2008 and Indy was super popular at my school at least, they did a great job bringing 1-3 back ahead of 4 and getting people into it with games, lego, toys, tie ins, etc. Was seen as analogous to SW bc of the Lucas connection.

My dad dozed off during one of the action scenes and I struggled to stay awake a few times because of how boring it was. Never sinks as low as Crystal Skull, but that movie had some high highs at least...this is just middling throughout. 4/10, worst Indy by a country mile.

Looks INCREDIBLE, I don't think itll explode from 1 to 2 as much as people expect (I still maintain enthusiasm for Dune is fairly limited). But put me in for $550m, maybe $600 if WOM is crazy good.

A tron film set in the real world? It's over before it even began smh

I know it's rote at this point and it's a standard thing to say, but the big folly was Batman V Superman. Not the film itself (as divisive as it is) but even before that the very choice of that level of wad-blowing on the second film.
Man of Steel 2 - Batman - Some kind of Palette cleanser - then BVS was an absolute minimum.
It was somehow both clout chasing and defensive. As on the one hand the announcement of BVS caused ultra hype in what was always going to be *not the market you need because those are the people who would turn up anyway* but on the other I'm sure it was with one eye on the Nolan movies and thinking a standalone Affleck Batman movie would have been too close to a deeply (albeit to me rather strangely, but my opinion isn't relevant here) beloved trilogy and risked being divisive/rejected.
BVS is patient zero of WB being TOO reactionary. "Oh Man of Steel didnt make a billion, BATMAN CROSSOVER JUSTICE LEAGUE NOW".
SpoilerAlso, doing a weird deconstructionist take as the basis of a cinematic universe is just lol. I kinda like the movie tbh but it should've been its own elseworlds thing.

That classic Lucas marketing helped Crystal Skull crossover to younger audiences. I was a kid when it came out and it was inescapable. Toys, lego, games, merch tie ins. It got me into the older films as a result...I don't think Dial has done the same for the youth of today.
Plus you can't do the "one final adventure/the long awaited return of Indy" thing again.

It makes my contempt for Hollywood events like Cannes and Oscars even stronger. And I would mean that if it was a film I’m anticipating or not. There is just a divide between these festivals and the actual film audiences and that’s growing wider imho.
I mean the fresh reviews buoying the score aren't showering the film in praise. And neither did the Cannes audience rip it to shreds. It's all a very lukewarm response, some skewing more positive than negative.

Like we talked about weeks ago. Glad to see the Rosenbaum’s James Gunn interview is starting to make the rounds. It’s an amazing in depth interview, more people interested on the DCU and the superhero genre in general should see it.
He just described The Flash there lol

I liked this, I think? I'd even say the first hour and last 15 minutes of this is terrific. Everything else sucked. Was hoping more of the movie would be like the scene with the babies (didn't expect this to be inspired by the Heroic Trio), which was the movie at its most inspired and funniest.
Muschetti is great when he sticks to making fun roller coaster rides. Same reason I really liked It 2
Yeah I honestly think if they cut the multiverse shit and just made it focused on the Barry's, the mom dilemma and more looney tunes esque flash setpieces...movie could've worked. Starts quite strong, I agree.

What's even more frustrating is that Star Trek Prodigy already got renewed for a second season. It was being worked on up until right now and was all set to go later this year. But they just had to pull it all away and delete the whole thing without second thought. That is especially ghoulish.
They're still gonna air S2 on P+...but no one will be able to catch up when it airs. Brilliant decision!

I just can't fathom how you work years in animation and still can't visualize previz footage.

I know, and it always stings worse than bad concepts failing badly
