Godzilla 14 remains the most infuriating blockbuster in comparison to its masterclass marketing I have ever seen. I hate it so so much. Rogue One is one of the only movies to legitimately put me to sleep during the first two acts, I simply don’t sleep through movies. Horrifically dull and uneventful until they are handed the third act on a silver platter thanks entirely to ANH nostalgia. He is a terrible blockbuster director overall, get him off of my big budget tentpoles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyDargon Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Rogue One is excellent and I've actually started to appreciate Solo for what it is. The Sequel Trilogy is still a derivative, hacky waste though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I definitely appreciate Solo for what it is, especially in comparison to everything else Disney SW not named TFA. And I was so determined to hate that movie too, I’m still not sure how I ended up enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killimano3 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Rogue one is the best new star wars film by far. It actually does world building, has exciting scenes, beautiful shots, and a solid story. Maybe not the best film ever made but definitely solid, way better then the rest of the Disney star wars. Solo I always thought was actually much better then I thought it would be. The story was very good and all the characters were likeable... It just should never have been a movie about han solo. It never feels like it's actually the same han as the original star wars. And also the origin of his name was the worst moment in all of films century long history. Like WHY DID HIS NAME NEED A STUPID ORIGIN. WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE JUST BEEN HIS ACTUAL NAME 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringedmortality Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Colin Trevorrow had a lot of potential after Safety Not Guranteed, but was swallowed up too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Let's not lose sight of the fact that this week's pages long star wars digression is only happening because @Cmasterclay is a virulent racist. 3 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyDargon Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Meh, Star Wars is at least a somewhat interesting topic again now that we basically know Solo outgrossed Dial of Destiny and can argue Disney's reaction to it may have been a knee jerk one.

CJohn Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Last Jedi and Rogue One are great but I am a fan of The Force Awakens as well. Solo is entertaining. Rise of Skywalker is trash fanfic nonsense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 @CJohnbuddy I found the movie cobweb here on Amazon Prime in canada. I'm ordering a pizza and then I'm going to watch it. I'll give you my thoughts on it later, I hope it's as good as you say it is 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe I am being accused of taking part in one of the most hateful and evil things possible. Oh, and racism is bad also. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 TLJ and Godzilla are two of the best blockbusters of the past 10 years FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 @CJohn this movie has definitely got original Halloween vibes to it. It takes place in Holden field and the city and Halloween was haddonfield. There was even some framing at the beginning where the little kid kind of look like young Michael Myers from the original Halloween at the very beginning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonePirate Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Watched an early afternoon showing of Oppenheimer again today after my neighborhood AMC gave it some Dolby showtimes this weekend. Probably 30-40 people total in attendance which is very good for a movie in its fourth weekend. If Gran Turismo wasn’t taking the 7:00pm showing tonight and tomorrow, I am sure it would easily reach 50%-75% capacity at a minimum. This is a terrific showing for a 3 hour, R-rated biopic.

That and creepy Antony Starr (the dude that plays the father). The movie also plays it a bit like a fable at some times. I hope you enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
