I can't even listen to the mainstream radio stations anymore. They all sounds the same and blend into one big empty noise. Once in a while, you would hear some good vocals and melody and it fooled you into thinking that maybe this song will be good. But nope, mere seconds later, the song either stop dead and descend with the crap DJ beat drop or shitty rap lyrics got inserted that have nothing much to do with the song content /rant

Too lazy to write more detailed review so just copy/paste from the main spoiler thread I liked it. Remind me quite a lot of the first Captain America. Guess I'm just a sucker for the heroic, passionate, old fashioned good-hearted characters. Characterizations for Diana was pretty great. So was Steve Trevor and their relationship. But I thought the supporting cast weren't up to par, none were memorable for me (or at least none was memorable in good/non-ironic way) I only watched BvS once so I didn't really had much of an opinion on Gadot's limited appearance one way or another then. But I thought she was real neat in the role here. Acting/line delivering was spotty in parts but she really made up for it with the heart and sincerity that shined through. I looked forward to her character evolving and her getting more and more comfortable in the role. Actions were a bit dodgy, some very good, some pretty boring/repetitive. I used to be annoyed over the abusive use of slow-mo in action movies, but lately, such thing just made me numbed and bored. The set designs and staging was good though. Funnily enough, Wonder Woman was also similar to Captain America in how their origin movies were brought down by the third acts. Although, in completely different ways: Cap's 3rd act was too subdued and feel unfinished/cut abruptly short; while Wondy's 3rd act was excessive and noisy. However, on the plus side, the 3rd act both contained some genuinely emotional high points of their respective movies. Loved the underlying theme of hope and optimism (not so much 'underlying' since it's consistently presented for everyone to see but you get the point) Overall, for me, it's easily the most enjoyable offering of the DCEU. I'll definitely watch it one more time in theater. And looking forward to the sequel. B+

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS | 10 NOV 2017 | Fox
Sam replied to kayumanggi's topic in Box Office Discussion
Not too fond about the trailer as I thought I would be. But it's still pretty ok. Branagh delivered with the accent, the ham, and the 'stache though. That's what most important I suppose. So, still excite. -
Wow, didn't know about the blacklist issue. The former SK president sure was one with lots of issues. Happy that it got resolved for Bong Joon Ho though. One of my favorite directors. I've been waiting for Okja to premiere on Netflix. Still a whole month left but very excited. It got a good cast (except for Lilly Collins but I digress)
