Oh lol they couldn't have him have a crush on Mulan when he thought she was a guy

Mulan is going to be a disaster for Disney. Did it to appease the Chinese market and they won't get to show it there for many months.
By data Go To PostI literally don't remember anything about Mulan except for Li ShangSexist
Supposedly Mulan tested so bad in China they reshoot a lot of stuff to bend over for them and they still hated it
Portrait Of A Lady On Fire is a goddamn masterpiece and my favourite movie of 2019, probably one of my all time favourites.
Watched 'The Dinner' (2017) tonight on Netflix with Richard Gere, Laura Linney, Steve Coogan and Rebecca Hall (all good actors!). This is awful and boring. The editing was so amateurish and it really has nothing to say. Fuck this film
Saw they live for the first time
Damn john carpenter basically made 'kill the rich'the movie and no one got upset?

Amused by the lengths they went to replicate the effects of shooting on film including halation / chromatic aberration.
Brahms: The Boy 2 is the worst movie of 2020.
There’s nothing redeemable about this movie. I guess Tom Cruise banished Katie Holmes into movie hell because she’s the only reason I would give this movie half a star. If they had anyone else in the lead role, it would be 0 stars.

Haven’t watched it but chromatic aberration is caused by lenses not the medium they’re using to capture the action
Isn't a huge amount of Star Wars EU lore just retcons from other parts of the EU (or at least layering on nonsense), with nobody even managing to agree on what is canon and what isn't?
nothing is truly canon unless it's in a numbered movie. the rest they may say is canon but no director will give a shit and just do whatever they want.

By Not Go To PostMarvel really needs a flopWon't happen. Disney will probably have a couple of expensive flops in Mulan and Artemis Fowl.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostThe Invisible Man already at 50M$ worldwide on a budget of 7M$.
The hit no one saw it coming.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostInvisible Man was amazing tbhTrash movie with more plotholes than I can imagine watching in a long time. I can't believe it critiqued so well.
By reilo Go To PostKnives Out was really good. Rian won.honestly the more I think about it, the more I like it. Wildly fun
do you guys know any other good Whodunits? Please don't say Murder on the Orient Express that was so disappointing
Invisible Man suffers from two great tragedies in the way it structures the plot and the story:
- It chooses to tell not show when it's convenient
- It chooses to show not tell when it's convenient for a cheap thrill or plot twist
The movie does absolutely zero legwork to establish character backgrounds or motivations, especially Adrian as a "bad guy" and uses a few short anecdotes through Cecilia's unreliable narration to showcase him as an abusive boyfriend. However, even if we were to take Cecilia's words at face value (and again, none of the anecdotes lead the audience to believe Adrian is a psychopath and a killer) the movie makes the fatal flaw of going out of its way to seed doubt about whether he's the bad guy at all by creating a cheap plot-twist involving his brother as being another character that uses the suit to stalk and haunt Cecilia. Why? Who knows, the movie never provides any motivation for the brother, either, instead casting him as a spineless jellyfish rather than a partner-in-crime with a grudge against Cecilia.
Why was the brother involved? Why did he tie up Adrian and fake his death? Why did he kill Cecilia's sister? And if Adrian was innocent, how did Adrian convince his brother to get involved and why did they together kill Cecilia's sister to frame Cecilia? These, among many, are unanswered questions with little to zero story beats that establish the believability of said character's motivations.
Least of all, the questions around the suit and why it exists or what purpose Adrian's company served -- those questions could be forgiven had they even established a basic premise of any of the aforementioned plot-beats. It matters insofar only because the suit apparently gives its wearer superhuman strength (Aldis Hodge is a giant brute of a man and a trained cop, and he was being dragged across the floor and beaten about like a ragdoll), makes the wearer emit no noise, and apparently immune to paint but not other substances like a fire extinguisher.
It's a shame because the movie could've taken a subtler direction and been a more personal affair had they focused on abusive relationships as a metaphor to the lasting effects of the past on somebody's mental state after they leave an abusive ex, but instead it went for cheap thrills and banal plot-twists.

Bruh my man chases Cecilia through woods and punches through the car window to pull her out. I don’t how many car windows you’ve punched in your lifetime, but I’m at 0. I don’t have this in spoilers because it’s in every trailer
I think your whole outlook is the exact message of the movie. Despite his obvious anger issues and her paralyzing fear of him, you still have doubts of her claims.
I do agree with your point of cheap thrills.
