All the big studios are behind it, so basically every big release each week gets for 4DX for the first week at least.

No. He's not like Pratt even if JW is Pratt's most bland performance.

 

I'd think it would be impossible for Hiddleston to be as poor as Pratt was in JW in any movie.

Hiddleston's performance as Swift's boyfriend was pretty unbelievable. Writing it on a tank top didn't help matters.

This was a whole bucket of fun that flew by quickly. I can't remember the last time I've seen such a perfect action B-movie. It really hits the sweet spot.

 

In an era where it feels like we have big action movies that either 1) aspire to be serious, complex and "issue-oriented" and are light on the fun and adventure, or 2) that are so generic and unintelligably drenched in action that they are dull and boring, it was quite nice to see a carefully directed monster/action film that was funny, surprising, and so much fun. 

 

The action is well-framed. The film is well-paced. ILM does a terrific job with the CGI. Its retro/absurd/"Apocalypse Now" vibe works. All of the ingredients come together nicely. And while the characters certainly weren't fully realized human beings, they were mostly interesting and fun. And at the same time, the film clearly nods to basic themes of humankind vs nature, holding up a mirror so that we reflect on who are the real monsters here.

 

Overall, the film feels like it has a clear vision in terms of what it wants to be, and executes that very well. 

 

Peace,

Mike
