I'm a fan of all three, so I'm in for a watch. I hope it'll be well-written and adventure outside of the tropes previously established by its predecessors. Quote

Bolt Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 That looks pretty good. Also looks a bit predictable . But, i will definitely check it out. Quote
sh9000 Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Not sure why the trailer was deleted since only the teaser was posted so here it is valid to post again. Quote

Scyla Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Over New Year’s I watched the sequel to Rian Johnson's whodunnit Knives Out: Glass Onion. And I’m sad to say that is a movie with massive plot holes, terrible pacing and useless and nonsensical characters, stupid gimmicks and plot strings that lead to nothing. However, it is masqueraded by good actors, dialog and cinematography, which is tricking critics into thinking it is a good movie. Just like another Rian Johnson movie… Spoiler The resolution of the movie is that the perpetrator is an idiot, so the case is hard to figure out because Danial Craig's sleuth is assuming an mastermind at play. And if your explanation for the murder plot is, that an imbecile is your culprit, you can explain anything in the movie without any logic necessary. This in itself is a huge problem is this kind of movie. Anyhow, since Knives Out received so much praise and I hadn’t seen it, I watched it the next evening and I have to say it is a perfectly good movie that has none of the issues of Glas Onion but all the positive parts. So Rian Johnson seems to be capable of putting out movies with a wide array of quality. Maybe anytime he gets praise for a legitimately good movie he botches it the next time.

I like this silly take on Dracula and his henchman. There’s little bits like the fact that he warns the guy trying to invite the vampire in that are pretty funny. Hope the film lives up to how entertaining the preview was Quote

We'll see if the next movie is actually good again. The very fist sequence with the arrival of the boxes, Bautista's character's mom & Craig in the tub playing Among Us is pretty funny, but cou can safely turn off the movie right after that. If you check the trivia section on imdb, you'll find an ongoing litany of how cleverly the movie is contructed, and still the result is a terrible waste of time. Quote

One of the reviews I read afterwards summed it up pretty well: "the movie thinks it is much smarter than it actually is". While I liked the opening of the movie (yeah seeing Daniel Craig in the tub playing Among Us is pretty funny) it is already super dated now. I mean who will remember Among Us and Covid vaccinations in 2028? I don’t know why Rian Johnson felt the need to make it that way if if has almost no impact on the plot, other than a bit of foreshadowing. Quote

That and Nick Cage is not a great actor, but he’s great when he’s crazy or murderous or both. Even though he’s not the main character, I think he’d make a great Dracula Quote

Saw this, and liked it a lot! Much better than Wandering Earth or Warriors of Future (which I did not finish). And the trailer was misleading, at least for me... It's very character driven and emotional. If there was one thing I'd change about the ending... Spoiler ....it would be to have Seo-hyun put her 'mother' into the pleasure bot that one guy was working on. It was far more of a human-simulacrum than all the others, and wouldhave offered her more of a life and freedom than the strictly android body she ended up in. Just a small quibble, though. Quote
Tking22 Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Just got to watch Violent Night now that it's on Peacock, what a damn fun R rated Christmas movie! I really enjoyed it start to finish, Harbour is great as Santa, there's laughs, there's violence, there's Christmas spirit, definitely a fun watch, highly recommended. Quote

They’re our friends and we flip them upright when they stumble and they eat the carrots and other veggies because they don’t try to eat us either. Although, I have been wondering how they taste. Just don’t tell anyone that I said that, especially the turtle friends Quote
