I thought that the first Avatar was just alright but ppl were having orgasms lol over it, much like John Wick. I'll still see the sequels but meh.

Idk I like John Wick as it is the only original movie I feel that has been made since 2010.

Everything else that might still be good is mostly copy/paste HD remakes or something very old, reboots, and switching media (i.e. started on a comic now its a movie or started on a video game now its a movie)

John Wick definitely has inspiration from movies throughout, but it is original in my book.

I dunno, how many times have we seen the hero-left-for-dead-and-comes-back-to-kick-x? To me it's alright but nothing original about it.

I'll give this a shot, it could go either way.

This could be good.

Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh too campy.

I don't know his name but the lead male is a great actor. Movie looks shite though.

Campy can be ok, I'll give it a look when it comes out. Frankly running out of things to watch.

Alfisti · 04-17-2023, 09:19 AM

What's with the sound in every new movie and TV show? This sort of loud, rushing boom....booom...... been relentless now for about 5 or so years.

Rufus Sewell. He was in the Man in the High Castle which I quite liked. I'll let you know if this is any good. Like I said, I'm running out of things to watch.

It's not bad (Scott wrote the screenplay) but it felt incomplete to me, I wanted more.

Aiming to watch this one later on in the week

McConaughey plays the baddie in this one.

BMWGUYinCO · 04-18-2023, 10:01 AM

A few weeks ago, we watched what I consider to be among the WORST movies I've ever seen. Utterly pretentious and pointless, but it did have good acting: The Master
Figures the critics would rate it so high...

Now, I just saw a promo for an upcoming movie that might just rank among the worst of 2023: Quasi.

End of rant.

I saw the Deer Hunter for the first time a few weeks ago. Could not believe how bad it was. I like slow movies, a build up etc, this was just grueling, really tough to watch, absolutely glacial.

It is long, just over 3 hours, but has a few good scenes. I really don't want to sit through a 3 hour movie. Anything over 90 min better be really good in my book.

There's a hilarious American Dad parody episode based on this movie "Escape from Pearl Baley".
