I am never going to finish all these 30 for 30s in this box set. I've watched like half of a disc and htere's like 9 more
By Kabro Go To PostGet out is better than fury road.Haven't seen it yet but I agree.
Nah. None of you are going to be comparing Get Out to any movie outside of its genre two years from now. Fury Road is so good you can't stop talking about it
By DY_nasty Go To PostCovenant wasn't even that badI think I'd rate any other Alien film before it.
Dumb, sure.
Sure it looks good, but that's it.
Ridley Scott has fooled me for the last time.

+1
By Lupercal Go To PostI think I'd rate any other Alien film before it.Do the AvP films count?

Also, helmets are for n00bs
By DY_nasty Go To PostDo the AvP films count?AvP films are tricky, they have some fun bits to both of them but not enough to warrant a rewatch.

Same goes for Covenant I guess.
So I'll put them in the same pile.
By Lupercal Go To PostAvP films are tricky, they have some fun bits to both of them but not enough to warrant a rewatch.Can someone actually watch AvP 2? That shit was so fucking dark I could barely see what was happening.

By LFMartins86 Go To PostCan someone actually watch AvP 2? That shit was so fucking dark I could barely see what was happening.Less able to see the bad I guess ?
That end fight was pretty deflating only seeing 50% of it.
The trailers were better than the movie once again.
I think Covenant could've been so much better if the few actions weren't edited like shit. There were a lot of great shots and setups that they had going for them that just ended up looking worse than some USA movies. It was really bad.

As someone who isn't a massive Alien fan, I find it a bit odd how hopeful people are when new ones come out. That's 3 shit ones in a row by all accounts, and the one before that isn't liked afaik. So in a franchise of 6 films, only 2 of them are good, and they're the first 2. That is surely grounds to just assume that anything new will be rubbish, and avoid the disappointment that comes from dashed expectations.
Sofia Coppola won Best Director at Cannes. She is only the second woman to win it in 56 years.

The critical landscape at Cannes is completely different these days. Critics are younger and hipper than they were 50 years ago. When certain critics are talking about how hard it was to stay awake during a screening you know something is boring.
By Wengward Go To PostDavid Ehrlich liked it. That is enough for me.
Although he also liked covenant and gotg 2
FUCK EHRLICH
By n8 dogg Go To PostAlthough he also liked covenant and gotg 2
FUCK EHRLICH
He is a Sofia fan and so am I.
Except for Bling Ring. That sucked.
Just saw A Cure For Wellness. That was one fucked up movie. Visually amazing but way too slow paced, the nearly 2 and half hours felt closer to 4.
The plot is bizarre but very predictable.
I really wanted to like it more.

By Elchele Go To PostLost in translation was boring
I am sorry.
Martins m8, I didn't like Hounds of Love. The mom/dad/boyfriend characters were so plain/undeveloped. I just, I don't know. It was based on a true story?
By Wengward Go To PostI am sorry.??
By Wengward Go To PostDavid Ehrlich liked it. That is enough for me.
He's kind of up his own ass. His Carol love is 100% earned tho
By Kabro Go To Post98 on RT after 45 reviews.Could it be The Ghostbusters effect again or a genuinely good movie?
dope.
By Elchele Go To PostMartins m8, I didn't like Hounds of Love. The mom/dad/boyfriend characters were so plain/undeveloped. I just, I don't know. It was based on a true story?It wasn't. I didn't feel like those 3 characters needed to be more developed, you got enough indications about their motives and their relationship with the girl.
??
The strong point of the movie is the dynamics between the girl and her kidnappers.

Will start with the caveat I'm not particularly impressed by many superhero films - TDK, Spidey 2 and BB the only great ones, Iron Man 3 and Winter Soldier the only MCU films I really like with a few other decent ones - and I don't think this particularly bucks the trend. It's a solid effort with still too many concessions to the genre: some wonky looking CGI fighting (with an exorbitant amount of speed ramping), been there done that origin tale, poor one-dimensional villains, pacing issues (especially in its final third)... solid without ever being special.
It does have a few massive points in the plus column though. First of all is Gadot, who isn't by any stretch of the imagination a great actor, but has the same winning combination of earnestness and naivete that Hamill does in A New Hope, to name a perfect comparison; you can't help but root for her. Pine is one of the most naturally charismatic actors out there and does a very good job of making Steve a fleshed out character with different shades to him.
The film's really quite funny; I laughed more often than I did at the very disappointing Guardians 2 for instance, and part of that is because it's quite low key humour rooted in character work; many of the laughs come from Diana's misconceptions and misunderstandings. What Jenkins does that a lesser filmmaker wouldn't is understands her tone, reflected in the measured approach she takes to colour palette and a lot of her scenes' lengths; there's something very much to be said for the impact of throwing heroes into real world conflict as opposed to hiding them in Gotham or Smallville, because it makes them at once more relatable and even more otherworldly, that they were able to help stop conflicts we know were horrifying - Cap America comes to mine, as does seeing that incredible panel in Watchmen of Manhattan towering over the Vietcong. Jenkins doesn't shy away from showing the horrors of WWI and it emphasises Diana's growth by putting her in a context we understand. There's also some repercussions at the ending which again has more dramatic heft and impact than many of its contemporaries.
It's an okay movie that makes some good choices for its universe, but more importantly it's a movie that a bunch of young girls will go see and love, and you have to credit WB with a lot of the decisions here: respected female director, Middle Eastern lead, a range of ages and races in the beginning. Not the biggest fan of the film myself but I hope it does very well.
