What time should we expect first reactions?
Edit: Nvm social media embargo lifts at 1am EST

Wish he'd be in the movies instead, not sure I care enough about the Wick universe to watch a spin off show.

No one does medieval better than Ridley, loved it and my new favourite of the year.

Why not just get Richard Kind to play Penguin, I love Farrel but it’s like Jared Leto in House of Gucci, just get an actor that looks the part lol. Movie looks solid, I think it’ll do BIG business.

I get the feeling this more "adult" Batman animated show is gonna end up being more juvenile than the 90s one.

I like the concept art for Blue Beetle and it seems the creatives know what they're doing, so I'm happy about that. Still think they should have gone theatrical here.
Maybe if Blue Beetle does well, we can get the Booster Gold/BB film as a theatrical sequel.

Hearing the Elfman music was great but I don't care about any aspect of this film outside of Keaton. I thought the Snyder Cut was great but I still don't like Ezra Miller as Flash.

I love how Aquaman 1 was more epic than most superhero team up/conclusion movies and yet they're going even bigger and crazier somehow. I hope WB doesn't restrain Wan at all after Malignant's soft box office. I wanna see him go all out cranked to 11 with this being his last Aquaman film.

I wonder if the hierarchy of power in the DC universe is going to change or not...🤔

The mob mentality dynamic is an interesting and fair critique of what happens during a crisis but it just doesn't gel her. Myers didn't kill 500 children in 1978, he killed 3 babysitters. He wouldn't be THAT infamous. Someone should have realized how lame "evil dies tonight" would sound.
The 2018 film made that point really clear but they retconned it here.

David Gordon Green is a massive liar and hypocrite. He retcons all the sequels to bring Halloween back to it's roots more (which he mostly succeeded at in 2018)...only to do all the same shit again from the later films. Mob violence against Michael (done in 4) and Michael is Jason-lite again. They even used footage from Halloween II as a flashback for one of the characters because it's convenient now. It had some fun kills, the Carpenter score was good and Michael looked bad ass but this was so sloppily made and written, it's bizarre that this was the same team. The townsfolk share exactly one brain that's been divvied up amongst them, I don't normally mind dumb characters in slashers but this was ridiculous. Also, the humour added was just as annoying as it was in 2018, the only good gag was the car door kick which had myself and the audience howling with laughter.
I read up on the original ending that got cut and is being put on the bluray and it's baffling they removed it because this film ends so abruptly and lacks a hook for Ends now. One of the weaker Halloween films (on par with 5/6 but less fun), very disappointing overall. I'll still see Ends but my expectations are real low, can't believe this team is doing an Exorcist trilogy next...
SpoilerMichael rising up from the mob beating and killing them was done so poorly too. Him getting up has zero weight (i don't even think we got reaction shots) and then the massacre is slow-mo extreme close-ups where you can't tell what's going on over a bizarre voice over from Laurie that seemed like a reshoot.

Tom Holland opens up about Spider-Man: No Way Home and facing off against Alfred Molina
"It was really fun to watch him see how technology has advanced," Holland adds. "When he was making these films, the arms were puppets, and when we did it, they're all imaginary and CG. It was quite cool to see him relive it, but also relearn it."
That's not a good thing Tom.

That sounds absolutely miserable and I hate that they changed their trilogy over one night plan. Will anyone want more pandemic movies by late 2022? I don't think people even want them now.
Also how's a time skip gonna be when most of these reviews say Kills feels like a part 1 movie (and probably ends on a cliffhanger).

So the third movie one, is it still going to jump ahead a little bit? Is this true? I think I read that.
Yeah. It jumps into a contemporary timeline. So we go from two episodes that are the same night in 2018. And then we’ll get up to speed with … It’ll take place the time of its release.
So do you incorporate things that have happened in the real world since then, like what we’re going through now? Would that be part of it?
Yeah.
I guess there are going to be more masks around.
So if you think about it, I mean, where we’re leaving these characters on Halloween 2018, the world is a different place. So not only do they have their immediate world affected by that trauma, having time to process that trauma – and that’s a specific and immediate traumatic event in the community of Haddonfield. But then they also had a worldwide pandemic and peculiar politics and another million things that turned their world upside down.

If we're recasting the MI6 crew, I'd love to see a former Bond like Dalton take over for M. Also would be down to see a former Bond play a villain.

I think cellphones have negatively affected horror films in general but the killer unlocking doors with an app is so lame.

This account has connections to some interesting personalities on Twitter, I'll say that much. It seems to be some strange concerted troll operation. No idea why someone would go to that trouble.
Ok I am really confused. Why are the Chapo Trap House people doing a Ben Mekler on this movie when it's not the premiere when those fake tweets would get engagement? And this account seems to be retweeting it. Very weird.
I think its because the other day, one notable film twitter person (forgetting their name) had a negative tweet about the film and got bombarded by thousands of MCU fans sending death threats, transphobic shit, sending twitter suicide notices, etc. When the hardcore fanboys reacted as such, all the anti marvel shitposters like this account came about to rile them up (since it's so easy to do so).

I with the filmmakers rewatched the original film before making this. Mythologizing the movie where Dan Aykroyd gets a blowjob from a ghost is silly.
-
I wish these types of historical epics did better in general but I don't see this one bucking the trend sadly. Ridley is great at this stuff though, watched Kingdom of Heaven (directors cut) the other night and he nails the atmosphere and epic vibe so well. I hope he can bring some of that magic here too.

I hope this is actually the origin story of the beloved Johnny Depp version of the character. Let's see Chalamet play Wonka like Michael Jackson as Depp did.

i was excited when Boyle was announced if the tone was the problem they should try to get him back for the next one. i imagine any big name director they want to do bond the next one is the best opportunity to get them since it's the one where they get to establish the new vibe. not especially interested in it being the top fan choices Nolan or Villeneuve since the Craig movies took from their playbooks anyway, would rather have someone with a fresher take.
They should return to journeyman directors like they used to (Martin Campbell was the last time they did that). They won't try to solve Bond for the modern era or reinvent it in their own style.

I would say the fools would be those who don't trust the people who have kept this franchise alive for 60 years! 😉
Personally, I'm not interested in seeing any more "high profile" directors "borrow" Bond. We've seen the results (even when they don't work out, like Danny Boyle's attempt), and I'd rather have an exciting genre reboot like 'Casino Royale' and even wildly-subversive chapters like "The World is Not Enough" than another ponderous leap into "making Bond realistic." I hope Bond gets back to some "fun" with the next series/star. Craig is quality, but it's time for a change. The world and Bond need more optimism.
It seems that’s what Boyle wanted to but it didn’t fit in with their finale plans. Fukunaga in a recent interview said as much:
“With Boyle, there was a deviation of visions. His version was more tongue-in-cheek and whimsical. Broccoli and Wilson wanted something more serious for Craig’s final outing. “
-
When they announced Seydoux was coming back years ago I was concerned as I hoped they'd ignore Spectre like they've done for Quantum but still optimistic because I trusted the filmmakers choosing to follow up on it. How I wish they hadn't. Madeline is much better here (as is Blofeld) after their dreadful introductions but I just don't believe her and Bond as being the next true love. Also what was the point of killing off all of Spectre (after so much build up) only to bring in Rami Malek and his "army" of people who are beyond underwritten in this near 3 hour film. So much time is spent to conclude that and Blofeld and it's underwhelming. This movie (and his entire run) get so dragged down by having to continue and wrap up lingering plot threads.

Having now seen it, I totally get why it’s been polarizing amongst the Bond community. I don’t think that stuff is gonna affect audience reception, it’ll be the length more than anything. I haven’t been this conflicted by a Bond film before and I’m not entirely sure what to think of it as a whole. I’m beyond crushed that I don’t love it. It’s a mix of everything I’ve loved and hated about the Craig era cranked to 11.

A lot of people saying its not your usual MCU fare (I hope so but I'll have to see it to believe it). Overall positive as expected but seeing a trend of it being a bit messy and biting off more than it can chew.
