This looks infinitely worse than the 2016 film and also feels kinda pretentious with how it's taking itself so seriously lol. It's obviously going for TFA vibes here which is the opposite direction for a sequel to a goofy comedy film.
I agree with you that banking on GB as some epic nostalgia mythology is bad and bizarre (the original is mostly SNL guys riffing) but it looks significantly better than the 2016 one.

I totally get the divided and negative responses from audiences but I loved it. It's this cross between a Twilight Zone/B movie vibe and this existential rumination on life and death that's breaking convention film rules as it goes along. One of the most creative and ambitiously shot films I've seen in a while, I wanna see it again just to study and focus on the framing and shot composition more closely. Some clunky dialogue and stilted performances but genuinely very thrilling and moving. I've only seen Sixth Sense and the Unbreakable trilogy so I really do need to go through the rest of M Night's films.
8/10

All these reactions could've been written by the same person. Same PR buzzwords every time.

"Hey guys, wanna see the new Jordan Peele movie with me?"
"Nope?"
"Ok, fine I'll go myself"

I'm excited for the movie because of the book and Denis directing but the trailers haven't wowed me. I just find the visuals to be very washed out and dull to look at.

It’d be nice to have everyone back for the finale but I’m not upset if Hobbs doesn’t come back either. He’s great in 5-7 but by the 8th film and especially in Hobbs & Shaw he was just playing himself. Bringing that same The Rock™️ energy that clashes hard with the sincerity of the series.

Even I have to admit that’s a cool poster.
Did it get bad responses at the test screening because its a faithful giallo (which would be divisive/not play well to general audiences) or is it just bad?

Not exactly what I was expecting but it looks like a fun time. Wan's funhouse of horrors is usually solid.

I'm always more down for a director's original vision and I adored "Ghost Story" so I'm really excited for this. I wonder how it would have been if A24 did release the 90 minute cut though, the auteur filmmaker driven indie studio cutting down a director's vision. The reaction from them doing it, would've been interesting.

I know it's an out of context clip but I really hope the bad delivery is intentional, maybe the film itself is silly on purpose but wow that was rough.

Movie would've been better if they actually went to space at the end. The finale was typical big CGI action stuff and already jarring with the first 2/3s, so why not go full tilt over the top crazy with it and commit to the absurdity instead of the lame half step. Aside from that, I found it surprisingly decent, first MCU film I've had fun with in a while.

The reaction to the trailer in theaters was kind of alarming.
Elaboration? Good alarming or bad alarming

Rewatched Superman (1978). The effects have dated sure, but the film itself has aged tremendously well. So honest, sincere and heroic in a way that's so rare in comic book cinema now. Reeves really was terrific and I love the screwball style comedy with him and the Daily Planet gang. Top 3 superhero movie for me alongside, Spider-Man 2 and Batman Returns. 10/10

Where can I find these reactions, when I try searching on twitter it's flooded by MCU stans.

Is Optimus Primal a new character distinct from Prime or is Peter Cullen being recast? I don’t know Beast Wars lore, it’s all very confusing.

They were interviewing Vin on the Today Show this morning. He pretty much stated the 10th film is the last, so apparently they may have scrapped the 2-part idea.
It'd be kinda neat if the finale was a back to basics street racing heist film again. I haven't seen F9 yet but the consensus seems to be that the over the top action has been pushed past its breaking point now. The series has survived so long by evolving and changing over time once it started getting stale.

It’s nice they’re keeping continuity with the use of the Returns suit. Also the jam blood seems to imply they’ll keep Keaton’s Batman as a murderer which is good, I was worried they’d change the characterization.

Underwhelmed at the visuals, at least this used real sets and some dynamic lighting but it’s such a bleak colour palette. Much more desaturated and grey than Nomadland was (which also desaturated its look). I don’t know why Marvel hates colour so much. Visuals aside, the rest looks fine.

He looks older than the teachers, I couldn’t take that trailer seriously ha.

Was hoping this would be the first Saw film to review well but whatever. I enjoy the series as a guilty pleasure so this should be a fun time as well.
-
Has there been any word on a VOD release for this? I’m in Canada and all the theatres are still closed for the next little while.

Tonally it’s an improvement, the first film was pretty bad but it’s few moments of goofiness were fun. Visually it’s so cheap looking and dark, doesn’t match what’s on screen at all.

I thought the teaser for this looked decent but the more they show off of it, I've lost all interest. Rooting for Simu Liu though, loved Kim's Convenience.
