Warhead36 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) Madam Web: 5/10. I don't understand the logic of having Sydney Sweeney in your movie and then having her play a child so she can't show off her assets. Also, no post credit scene so pretty likely this movie will have zero tie in whatsoever with the MCU, so don't bother. If I didn't have AMC A List I wouldn't have watched this.

Chump Bailey Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I came in with very low expectations because I'm a little burned out with the Spec Ops, Intelligence stuff that is everywhere these days, but this movie was excellent and highly recommended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Finally got around to The Marvels this past weekend. A lot better than expected but still a marginal MCU movie. Love that Miss Marvel and family were featured...not feeling Captain Rambeau (Pulsar, Photon, Spectrum, whatever)..and the big baddie was kind of meh like Bale's baddie in Love and Thunder. Also Captain Marvel is so overpowered that it kind of just kills the need for anyone else. Eventually one the MCU movies has to acknowledge the giant frozen Celestial in the ocean (from the Eternals) right? 😆 Edited February 21 by The Evil Genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a bunch of countries figuring out this giant Celestial has resources that can be exploited. I'd heard it's where they're gonna introduce adamantium into the MCU.

justice98 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It wasn't bad, but it was oddly kinda dull. And it's not that there's not action and stuff happening, it's just that I didnt care. But I will concede, some of it might be that my enthusiasm for Indiana Jones is basically non-existent in 2024. And I loved the first 3, but I wasn't clamoring for #5. And not to be ageist, but Ford is just too damn old for this stuff. Some scenes he doesn't seem so old, but then others, he looks every bit of 80-something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Safety Not Guaranteed (2012) I think everyone missed this one a decade ago. Worth your 80 or so minutes..not a sci-fi film but more a film about regret. Plus I'm a sucker for Aubrey Plaza.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Dune 2 was jaw dropping. Felt like a kid watching it. Seems like our generations Star Wars which is a good comparison imo being that Lucas was inspired by the Dune novel when writing Star Wars and Dune itself subverts the “chosen one” or “hero’s journey” that Star Wars uses. one of those movies that is just candy for your senses. The score, the cinematography, the feel. It feels real because it’s filmed in a desert rather than in a studio green screen. It is the best kind of spectacle wrapped up in fantastic acting performances from the entire cast. Feels like Chalamet and Zendaya became grown up stars now, they’ve graduated to the big leagues with this one. I haven’t read the books but to me it feels like LotR in that there is clearly massive dense text full of details and the movies are the streamlined version with just the important parts. So now I want to read book 1 anyway. Denis Villanueva is writing the script for Dune Messiah so we will get book 2 adapted too and I can’t wait for it. Really thought this one was powerful in its messages, which, along with part 1, are as deep as you want them to be. Tons to pull from them. I at least hope people don’t treat Paul Spoiler As a hero because he certainly is mn’t and has now become the very thing he hated in the first movie and wanted to avoid. loved it. Please if you even have a passing interest in it, see it in theaters. This is an experience and deserves to be viewed in a theater Edited March 3 by Momma There Goes That Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 The runtime flies by too. I could have spent 10 more hours in the theater in this world 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Dune 2 was excellent. Bummed that the little sister didn’t get on screen and weird everyone out, but I still loved the movie. Tacos followed by big budget science fiction is a great way to spend a Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wanted to see little Alia Atreides talking to adults like they’re naive children and offending the bene gesserit reverend mother simply by existing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I don't give a **** about Dune at all, just curious if you guys got the much talked about popcorn bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I haven’t seen it yet. Maybe when it drops on digital. Or maybe I go see it. Guess need to see part one first. My sister loves Dune though. From the original to the tv movie to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
