VIP3The action sequences were solid, particularly the martial arts, and the casting and acting were also fine but the script is a mess, the pacing is off, and the second half feels goofy and disjointed from the first half. The second half action was difficult to follow and felt like a DC cluster f--- aimed at the Chinese market. HOWEVER, I am looking forward to seeing Shang-Chi utilized in the future films.
VIP3World Premiere Review: Sam Raimi, you legend. This was one of, if not the most, fun MCU movie yet. It's very Evil Dead inspired visually, particularly the camera work. The character arcs here are fantastic, the action is wonderfully violent (the multiverse gives so much opportunity to kill off characters without impacting the main timeline too much), and the pacing is great, just go see it.
VIP3World Premiere Review:
It was ok. It's not entirely interesting and it's the standard Marvel formula. However, it's lacking a critical element of a Marvel hero: a flaw. The best thing about the MCU is that there isn't a Superman equivalent...but there is now and I'm not sure I like it. I'm afraid now that Endgame concludes with believing in yourself can defeat Thanos...
Second watch: The main issue remains Captain Miscast
They are clearly trying to be Southland, but it ends up being cheesy. The magic of Southland was how gritty and realistic it was, you can't really get that on network television.
World Premiere Review:
Not as good as the original, but totally worth going to see in the theaters. I don't think I've laughed this much at a Pixar film since the the first one. This one didn't seem to have as much "heart" as the original as this felt almost like a revival for this particular franchise than an actual sequel. Fun for adults and kids. Baby steals the show.
VIP3EDIT: upon rewatch, I believe the open bar and pageantry of the premiere enabled me to put on goggles that shielded me from the trainwreck that is this film. Rian Johnson is a sorry excuse for a writer. It will probably be retconned at least 5 times in episode 9.
World Premiere Review: Vague, Spoiler-Free Edition
It was amazing. It still does nostalgic fan service, but nowhere near what Episode 7 or Rogue One felt like. It feels like its own film. It gets a little slow and repetitive in the last half of the first third of the film, but after the major show down in the middle of the film, it's non-stop action that's brilliantly paced. GO SEE IT!
VIP3English fans are the worst fans on the planet. Always have been, always will be. Enjoy your 1966 dreams forever.
Absolute chore to watch beyond S1. My recommendation for anyone who still hasnt seen this: watch S1, treat it as a miniseries and run away as fast as you can. I got too deep and the completionist in me demands I hate-watch it. It's hot Georgia garbage from S2 on you'll only grow to hate all the characters and just want everyone to die...except Daryl probably. I'm team horde and extinction now, look at what they did to me!
How is this not on a streaming service yet? This began so many careers and so many franchises, have to see this piece of TV history!
Booooooooooooo! Booooooo! throws vegetables at TV and hissing in Peasantry
wtf is with 80s sequels and the "just add kids" formula? They all suck. Movie starts off entertaining, then the child actors come in and its down hill from there.
This show works because you're rooting for the person getting made over. This was the first time I disliked the person being helped. This guy is always going to be a piece of crap because he's lazy, but more so because he's a liar.
Someone likes tracking shots...this episode is tracking shot galore
World Premiere Review: 11/14/16
Frozen: Tropical Edition. But, that's not a bad thing. It's a really good movie with amazing animation, charming story and excellent songs (if you're into that). It's by no means flawless. Repetitiveness is the main issue, especially with certain physical humor which is done to death, particularly the wonky eyed chicken. I won't spoil what it does, but I found myself going "AGAIN?! COMON." Adults will find it charming and kids will think it's hilarious.
Anita got what she deserved, reap what you sow.
VIP3I put this on in the background after reading about the absolute clusterf&%$ that production was. Also only 5 eps, thank god. Knowing how the original pro-victim vision was warped by professional perverts The Weeknd and Sam Levison, this weird, hollow softcore porno serves as a warning to all studios on how you should never kowtow to giant stars or directors, or else you get a 100 million dollar disgusting shit show.
This might be the original Dhar Mann, but less unhinged. If watching on Paramount+ you are missing the "what the [heck] were they thinking" episodes dealing with white supremacy, abortion, etc. Thankfully Freevee fills in the blanks that CBS would prefer you forgot about. Unless you are Kevin Sorbo, this is background viewing.
Both of the lead promoters are absolute scumbags but John Scher takes it to the next level. He wasn’t accountable back then and he wasn’t accountable now even with hindsight. You treat people like animals, they turn into animals.
This felt like required reading for the movie…it seems like Elemental flopped because it was TOO personal and buried in a relatively high concept
The blatant disrespect for any and all rules of star wars is unbearable
Was that a reference to the McPoyle roof scene from Always Sunny…this show is painfully cringe
The IP weighs it down. It set itself up to be inferior but in a vacuum its a decent movie.
My god…it was actually Jeff Wise this whole time! :rolling_eyes:
Fascinating... but also cringey and in very bad taste using black and white face as the variable in this experiment.
VIP3So bad, it’s good. And that this acts as a permanent record of embarrassment for this cast is the cherry on top. I almost died of laughter when gary oldmans leg was in the shot. Worth the short watch
VIP3Still convoluted and boring. Should have stayed cancelled.
The intro was great, but the standup is painfully unfunny.
Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man character is easily the best faithful interpretation of the original comics. Peter Park is supposed to be a total dweeb before his transformation to super hero and Tobey nails this arc. I love Holland and Garfield but they’re far too naturally attractive and charismatic to be believable nerds, at least in the classic sense that Stan Lee was going for.
