Tenet (2020) (comes out the 26th in Canada)
jb007 replied to baumer's topic in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)
Nolan has committed the ultimate cinematic sin. He has made an utterly boring movie. The characters are not interesting. The convoluted plot is an ego trip driven mess. The action scenes are tiring. The action scenes from both sides at the airport are exhausting to watch. Algorithm, inversion do not elicit interest. I was bored to the point of nodding off several times only to be woken up by the loud music. Washington is ok. Pattinson has a few decent moments. Branagh's role seems to be a continuation of his role in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit., Debiki is tall. Dimple Kapadia looks good. Nolan movies have progressively gotten worse since Inception. This is a terrible movie. Hope it isn't the end of a beautiful relationship. Hope there is a future for Nolan in the past. Whatever...😁😁😁 Rating: D -
No Time To Die | October 8 2021 | 82% on RT | RIP Sean Connery
jb007 replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
Have watched every single bond movie since Diamonds are Forever in theaters in their original release. I started with Sean Connery Bond movies as a kid. Loved the campy Roger Moore movies. Loved Casino Royale since it felt like a gritty Sean Connery movie. Solace, Skyfall and Spectre were pathetic IMHO. The last three MI movies were more James Bondish in addition to being fantastic action movies than the last three James Bond movies. -

Being a lifelong James Bond fan, I have despised every Craig movie after Casino Royale, Hopefully, this will make me a James Bond fan again. -
Thanks @ZackM, @keysersoze123 your daily projections have been nothing short of fantastic. 👌👌👌

After Endgame, even as a MCU fan, I have lost interest. I could not care any less about this and eternals. Time for me to move beyond the MCU. -
China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30

SW is not a popular franchise in China. I didn't realize IP man franchise is not that popular in China. It is quite popular with the English movie going crowd in India. -
China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30
jb007 replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in China At The Box Office
It is not being smug. It is shocking. I don't know who the actors are in that movie or their popularity. But to see it perform the way it is against a known franchise movie like IP 4 is something else. The other interest in that movie is because I have watched the original tens of times. It is a perfect movie for multiple viewings. -

So a remake of an Indian movie/Japanese novel will bitchslap IP man 4? Am I right? -
I hate to disagree. I have been a life long Star Wars fan starting with Ep. 4 as a 12 year old. I consider TLJ the worst star wars movie made and it harmed the most successful movie franchise of all-time in terms of overall revenue. I have watched all episodes movies no less than 7 times, except TLJ. Only 2 times.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
jb007 replied to baumer's topic in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)
What a ride!!!! The movie exceeded my expectations. It was funny, emotional and plain bad ass. The interaction between Han and Solo is brilliant and made me cry. Luke's sequence with Rey is just perfect. Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley were very good. Their character arcs have a perfect ending. Technically brilliant withe an awesome score. Covers the entire gamut of scores from Imperial march to Luke, Leia, Rey and Ren's themes. Action scenes are excellent. On par with TFA and Way better than TLJ. Pacing is fast. JJ Abrams just doesn't let up. Kudos to JJ for ending the Skywalker Saga with a bang. The final scene with Rey looking up at the two suns ala Luke is fantastic. Rey Skywalker... 😍😍😍 Rating: A -
