Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The fact that you want to skip thru “dull sections” of movies the first time you seen them makes me think your review of Wonder Woman doesn’t hold up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mournblade Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 If I was watching Wonder Woman on Blu-Ray I'd super-glue my finger to the fast forward button. It was an unmitigated disaster, which is no surprise considering Zach Snyder was the producer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Baby Driver was annoying. Yet...not without its charms. C+ I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car chase scenes were cool, at least. I don't understand why people are getting so hyped about Thor: Ragnarok. I mean, did they not see Thor: Dark World? That was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Thor movies have been the worst of the Marvel universe, outside of that garbage F4 joint. That said, i have a little hope for this new one cuz it looks heavy on the Hulk. Probably a lot of smashing Edit: wow, just checked. Thor: Rag is at 98% on rotten currently. Dang.

Ragnarok is said to be nothing like the first two Thor movies. And it’s a team up movie with Hulk. I think that’s what people are excited about. Plus the reactions from advanced screenings have been positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Saw the mediocre movie, Geostorm. Just your average, C- , flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 American Made. Tom Cruise playing Barry Seal, a late 70s into the mid 80s pilot who was drug smuggling and acting as an informant for the CIA. Solid movie, entertaining. Some funny parts. The camera work was pretty odd at some certain points but if you like 70s and 80s period pieces, this is pretty good. I give it a B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Saw " Suburbicon". What a crappy movie. It took me a while to figure out what was happening and then it was an unoriginal story. WTF was my thought after the movie was over. I can only give the movie a D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Caught Wonder Woman on the flight from Iceland to NYC. Kinda hokey but earnest and fun. Miles better than that Dawn of Justice trash. Nowhere close to a film like Logan. 2.5/4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanboyOf91 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Finally watched Logan. Top 3 superhero movie with Batman and Unbreakable. Will be seen as an essential culture monument to Trump-era America. Edited October 29, 2017 by FanboyOf91 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 It’s my 3rd favorite after BB and TDK. It was pretty much perfect and everything I hoped it would be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Vaughn gets laid off from his job and goes back to running drugs to provide for his family. A deal goes down bad and the drugs were lost. Vaugh's character actually saves the cops from being killed in a shootout. He gets a tough sentence in a medium security jail and is visited in jail by the drug dealer's consigliere and is presented with the choice of carrying out a supposed assignment for them in a different max prison or they kill his wife. Two thumbs way up! My man! I remember one of the ES homies recommended this joint, so we watched it last night. Awesome movie, I friggin' loved it. Ultra violent, unique story, and Vince showing off his drama chops again. I almost like Vince more in serious films than as a goofball. He nailed it here. Did I mention this movie is SUPER ****ing violent? Borderline gore fetish stuff. Loved it! I'm with Chump Bailey, Brawl in Cell Block 99 gets two thumbs way up from me, too. One of Vince Vaughn's best films. Edited October 31, 2017 by Chew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Just went to see Kingsman 2, and the movie seriously impressed. I expected a whole lot of CGI fight scenes, but there was a ton of good acting and character in it. (And a whole lot of references to the earlier movie, and lots of great humor.)

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The Foreigner. Jackie Chan steps into the anti-hero role and faces off with the fiercely Irish Pierce Brosnan. This a highly watchable film, but it lacks the focus necessary to make it sizzle. Jackie Chan is one of my heroes. He's simply the best. I enjoyed watching him add some depth here, but my heart was crying out for him to pick up a prop and work his magic on a room full of bad guys with it. There are long stretches in the film where his character is entirely absent. I thought Brosnan carried his role well. The movie felt like it got stuck between an action flick and an Irish Republican Army political thriller. I think it would've been more successful if it would've been more of the former and less of the latter. It's still a worthwhile view for any hardcore Jackie Chan fan. At 62, the legend still has some gas left in the tank. 2.5/4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to an extent, but I was really excited to see him in a serious revenge role. I think the role was fine, the action sequences just needed more pop. But the man is 63 years old. I can understand some of the limitations there. Either way, it was great to see him on the big screen again. I will always pay up to see Jackie Chan. Unless it's a Rush Hour movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Just got back from seeing Thor Ragnarok...JUST WOW. A full-on blast of fun and entertainment! And I mean true entertainment, as in what a movie theatre experience should strive to be. It was hilarious, brilliant non-stop action, great character interaction, great camera shots, great editing. The crowd was clapping at the end and the audience was buzzing throughout the credits. I go to the theatre at least 18 times a year (including opening nights) and I've never seen a response like this.
