The problem with those crowds is that because there’s been an influx of strong female protagonists in the last few years that they’re perceiving Helena to be just another one of those kind of female characters, when she’s clearly not supposed to be.…

I wouldn’t call it a guarantee. Because we saw what happened when they tried to bring in Danny Boyle and that didn’t work out. But we’re not gonna learn about anything as long as these strikes persist.

He would have been good casting, but I think he’s too old at this point. Felix should be Bond’s peer, and that’s not how it’ll appear if we see a Bond in 30s bonding with a Leiter in his 50s. I didn’t even like seeing the age gap between them in …

bondywondy sounds like a lot of men of a certain age out there who feel threatened and insecure about the world changing around them, and so go on lashing out over “wokeism”. Feels uncomfortable watching a movie about an old man who’s reached a low …

I would have liked that nod.

It’s not fist pumping like other movies but it’s very much in tone with the rest of the film, if one can accept a more somber Indy film.
-
I once joked about how Eon should be making movies only to upset fans, because they seem happiest when they have something to gripe about, like fiddling with the gun barrel again.
-
I can sympathize with not liking story choices filmmakers make, but when one starts claiming the filmmakers set out to intentionally destroy a character for some nefarious reasons, then I think objectivity has been lost. It’s the same thing that mad…

I wish more movies were THAT mediocre. I don’t even love DoD. I have my own issues with it. I just think it’s bizarre how some have dog piled on it like it’s some great cinematic crime. OH NO! INDY LIVES IN A CRAPPY APARTMENT?! That’s not f…

I’ll never understand hate watching.

Wait, you’re watching it for the first time??

I’d argue REBEL MOON looks visually better than ARMY OF THE DEAD. I was actually surprised by how bad AOTD looked.

More power to you guys. I’m just glad he’s no longer attached to DC or any other IP, he can make his own original films on Netflix. I think he’s better off being his own niche.
-
Being better than TROS is a low bar. But this is coming from the same guy who made SUCKER PUNCH, so I’m not expecting a coherent story from Snyder.

“Mr. Snyder, why do you like skulls and axes?” “Yes.”

*Looks up that YouTube channel, sees a long string of clickbait garbage*

The Paramount logo was only featured for contractual reasons, and I bet Disney didn’t want to give any special treatment to that out of corporate egotism. This is why this is the only LucasFilm production to open with the Disney castle logo. They wa…

Speaking for myself and nobody else, I do not hate what you post.

For what it’s worth, NTTD drew a large audience for the 60th anniversary screenings, making third place below CASINO ROYALE and SKYFALL. That’s a full year after its original 2021 run. So if audiences and fans collectively hate NTTD… they sure have …
