I watched both Disenchanted and Hocus Pocus 2 with my mom and she said “why are they making these sequels so boring?”

I'm really curious now to see the Cinemascore for this.

Disenchanted was lovely. I know for a fact I am feeling this because of the nostalgia but to hell with it, I had a great time.

I might watch it tonight. If it was in theaters I'd probably be rushing to see it even with the trash reviews.

Fell fast asleep during HP2 and Disenchanted while my wife and daughter semi-liked them.

This guy is just amazing. The fact that he was able to pull off an almost impossible task gets him my respect.

Rings of Power Season 2 coming to a theater near you in 2024

[jedijake]

All of this makes me wonder if they made something like Strange Things for the theater, how would it do?

[excel1]

The RT scores of the major films this holiday sure as fuck aren't "rotten", that's for sure.

 

Everyone should go see Fabelman's, Bones and All is a bizarre, IMO try hardish movie that I would not recommend at all. We'll see how Devotion is.

Why would pushing HIGHLY PROFITABLE major theatrical releases surprise anyone when streaming is BLEEDING money?

[WrathOfHan]

Fabelmans is whatever. Michelle's overacting and it's longer than it needs to be. Brilliant Paul Dano performance tho.

 

Now Bones and All... yum. That's a feast.

Plan for me is first thing on Friday. Probably gonna scream like a howler monkey at all the sexiness on display the whole time.

We are opposite on all fronts. Williams was terrific and while Dano does well, he is not on her level. B&A has one of the most forced final 15 minutes I have ever seen. So cringeworthy and try hardish, reminded me of American History X ending. General audiences are going to hate that movie. it isn't endearing ala Edward Scissorhands, it just feels like "hey look at us trying to be all edgy!"

It 100% would be our family thanksgiving movie if it was in theaters. Disneys loss is Rian Johnson’s gain tho

I am telling you: I'm really struggling to find a worse Verified Score for an Animated movie. People do not like this film at all.

 

 

I found Norm of the North. It has a 22% Audience Score on RT, but that's before verified score was a thing.

Watched Disenchanted a few days ago. I actually re-watched Enchanted for the first time in a decade right before. 

 

Enchanted wasn't AS good as I remember it as a kid, but it's still pretty witty, has some good laughs, and excellent songs. Still, I think part of why this movie might not age as well is because it was so "new" when it came out; a clever deconstruction of fairy tales, whereas since 2007 we've seen "deconstructions" like this done over and over, and it doesn't feel as fresh anymore. But overall, good movie 7/10 for sure.

 

Disenchanted was essentially the direct to VOD sequel. The cast is still game (although Dempsey was wasted in this lol). Every second that James Marsden is on screen was awesome, they just didn't have enough of him. But the humour and clever wit from the first one was pretty much gone. It's not an aggressively bad film, it just felt dull. 5/10... maybe, that feels like a bit of a stretch.

All this doom and gloom. But yet No Way Home and Top Gun Maverick exist.

Caught a 3 PM showing of Glass Onion. About 25-30 people in attendance. I thought the first 30 minutes or so were unnecessarily pretentious and even tedious. However things rapidly improve for the next 90 or so minutes before a slight dip at the very end. Janelle Monae is easily the stand-out among the cast as she is terrific. Craig is fine again and the overall mystery was engaging with a rewatch likely to make it a little more enjoyable. Netflix is stupid to keep this in theaters for only a week even if cinemas are not their primary marketplace.
