Was a good episode, though it felt a bit too much like a super-cut of the trailers with all non-dialogue scenes having been shown already.

I thought we got over those types of subversions/deconstructions of characters post-Last-Jedi?

I mean, it's an award ceremony, not a stand-up show, no? Why do they need to make non-stop jokes? If a presenter has a good idea for a cool quip occasionally to shake things up, fine. But generally speaking .... just present nominees, why they are nominated, etc?

Trying to turn Batman into some super-dark serial-killer flick is kinda pathetic, IMO. The IP needs to re-introduce some serious Adam West-vibes to get back to the OG Batman people love.

Low effort garbage.

A four-time Academy Award nominee, William Hurt, died of cancer on March 13th, aged 71. Obviously he played Thunderbolt Ross in the MCU. Great roles in movies such as Dark City, A History of Violence and many more.

Which, to be fair, is because he's playing a literal Robot in West World, lol.

Extraction 2 isn't even in there, lol.

Translation: "Gimmie moar moneyz".

Dunno. Trailer doesn't advertise Ana de Armas in any way. She's not implied to be the lead or anything. Her name is not shown. She plays random-girl-on-couch-in-fake-Gorden-talkshow. This isn't Cranston-Godzilla or even Marvel-Hulk-is-in-the-final-fight-of-Infinity-War-levels of deception...

Sure. I mean by the same logic, why did the Avengers stop/reverse Thanos? Can't they see the big picture?

Quite a few of them are probably too old. Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Michael Fassbender are all mid-40s. Probably late 40s by the time they'd be shooting their first movie as Bond if they are just now thinking about casting. They could do a Bond, but if they'd want to cast somebody for several...

Not saying it was a stellar movie. But at least it seemed like somebody tried (and in large parts, admittedly, failed) to do something interesting. The nostalgia-bait-milking trilogy of No-Way-Home/Resurrections/Book-of-Boba-Fett maybe just left me crushed a bit too much.

Watched it and also thought it was better then it's bad rep. Definitely lots of wasted potential, but a decent watch. Definitely better than the soulless Spidy-memberberries iMO.

I mean, it's Star Wars. It's an IP primarily for 6-year olds and has been since 1977. Not sure what Netflix would want with it over Disney?

That said, for theatrical releases (at least historically and outside of super-hits, large IP properties, etc.. ), long run-times are something that are seriously looked at. Shorter / regular-length movies get more rotation, etc.. For streaming, it's largely irrelevant. So there's less...

I mean, even the original John Wick wasn't really hot box-office stuff at the time. It got good word of mouth, longevity in the secondary market, etc.. and thus provided the basis for the sequels actually earning money, not least by punching way above it's genre convention. But the original...

Tom-Hardy-Venom still doesn't make sense. Assuming he shares the "Sony-Villain"-verse with Morbius (given Morbius's "I am Venom" joke) and Morbius is in the same universe as "Homecoming-Vulture", Venom wouldn't have to jump universes to get there in the first place? Or being pulled "somewhere"...

Don't get it. Holland and Zendaya (and Cumberbatch) still have great screen presence, but the rest was just clumsy nostalgia-peddling full of giant plot holes and inconsistencies wrapped up with pathetic deus ex story-conveniences.

It’s slow, but I liked it. Did not see the ending coming, which was cool.

It's always been a source of US movies being weird that punching/shooting people is seemingly a much more accepted type of content for kids than a few tits or dicks, lol.

Sure. Then don‘t take ‚em to movies then where „heroes“ solve problems by punching people and constantly resort to violence.

He could just had multiple sons called Armand who in turn had multiple sons called Armand. You could get to triple digits easily within 3-4 generations that way :)

Well, the actual "truth" is unknown. Which is why novel and movie go by the multiple-PoV variant to begin with. In theory, any one of the three could be 100% on point by accident. Or more likely, all three are pretty far from actual events.

dunno. I enjoyed the first half-ish or so. Bus fight. Skyscraper fight. Arena thing. Etc.. Disney-fied Kung Fu and all that, but was fine for what it was. Lost me at magic village and Kaiju fight. Literally zero stakes or tension for being in it's own pocket dimension and dropping the...

/shrug The Chloe Zhao train-wreck is still better than anything ever made by Zack Snyder, so it's not that black and white, lol. Though perhaps Zack Snyder simply cannot make anything that will appeal to any creature with any kind of central nervous system or brain, which would explain it ;)

To be fair. They played some Doors for the trailer, which is kinda cheating. Also thought that Venom sucked, so no high hopes in general for this.

I am Venom line was cute. But the correct answer clearly would've been "I am the goddamn Batman!"

/shrug Plenty of movies do that. Battles for Helm's Deep and Pelennor Fields in LoTR are barely a handful of pages. Maybe 1-2% of the page count of their respective books at best. In the movies, they take up huge chunks of the run-time, being elaborated out.

Dunno. It's gonna be a Bond movie. Cool stunts, nonsensical one-liners and product placements, would be my guess.

Smith interrogating Morpheus, taking off his glasses and earpiece, "humanity is a virus" and "I wanna get out of here, cause you disgust me" definitely wasn't regular Agent-stuff. None of the other Agents even remotely behaved that way. Hell, the other agents were pretty perplexed at seeing...

What fucking difference does it make which actor plays a character? The story is good, or it isn't.

/shrug Spiderman 3 (or anything with Spiderman in the title) performing better than random origin-story-movie for a virtually unknown character isn't really a high bar. I mean, Thor 4 or Guardians 3 will probably outperform the Morbius introduction-movie too. Shocking, really, how that works...

Hard to compete with RDJ, Evans, Rudd, Hemsworth, etc.. falling over themselves to suck Feige-cock day in and day out ;)

Saw this today. All pretty try-hard edgelord-stuff with no soul.

Looks like pretty desperate nostalgia-bait. Sad how these types of movies immediately fall off a cliff outside the Marvel Studio.

Not the reviews I read, which highlighted + Very solid Martial Arts action (not quite the highest Hong Kong level, but apparently very good for Hollywood with surprisingly few jump cuts/edits to hide sub-par stuntwork). + Very solid supporting cast managing the marvel-mix of humour/drama...

The muslim and christian cults hadn't yet split from the jews at the time of pyramid-building. All still the same at the time.

Current China-movie embargo is all movies, not just Shang Chi or even just Disney. They pulled out all US production to preserve their delta-variant depressed box office for Chinese productions. The last US movie to open in China was Peter Rabbit 2. China is blocking Shang Chi the same as they...
