renegadeleader1 Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 The thing about that Iron Mask movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan? It's actually a sequel to a Russian film called Viy which is roughly their version of Pirates of the Caribbean about a cartographer traveling to unknown regions of the world fantasy Marco Polo style to make maps. The thing is neither Jackie or Arnold are the main characters in this series which makes me wonder how long they'll actually be in it. I wouldn't be surprised if this film pulled the same thing Executive Decision did. People went in expecting a Steven Seagal and got a Kurt Russell and John Leguizamo film instead. Not that that was a bad thing as ED wasn't that bad and seeing Leguizamo nailing a serious role is an eye opener, but it wasn't what people were expecting. Quote
Bolt Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I did happen to notice all we see of Jackie and Arnold is the same fight scene. It's obviously not about them , although they certainly do add a fun element to the movie. Quote
Dynaman Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 If that Iron Mask movie is a comedy it might be worth a rental - if it is supposed to be an action movie I'll pass. Quote
Thom Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Wow, that Iron Mask trailer looks like every level of hokey. Edited February 15, 2020 by Thom Quote

electric indigo Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Was this already posted in the remake thread? Critiques are quite promising over here. Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Coming soon to theaters Greyhound. "Inspired by true events" in the way that, yes WWII happened, but everything you see in the trailer is complete B.S. made up from historical fiction from C.S. Forrester. So much wrong with the trailer in regards to real life it's giving me a migraine. If they really wanted an action packed over the top movie about U.S. destroyers that was stranger than fictiom they should have just made a film about Taffy III and the Battle off Samar during the Leyte invasion. Quote
Thom Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) As stated in one of the comments, 'inspired by actual events' means there were boats floating on the ocean. Still looks exciting though and, unless it says it's a documentary, I'm not going to be too worried about some fiction. Edited March 6, 2020 by Thom Quote
electric indigo Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Just back from "The Invisible Man" and I highly recommend it. Cool modern update of the classic, Elizabeth Moss is killing it in every scene, and great cinematography & sound design. The theater was hooked. Quote

I saw it Saturday and absolutely agreed, fantastic film, very tense, a really killer reboot. I was going to post about it in the old Universal Monsterverse thread, this was going to originally be The Invisible Man movie for that universe until Tom Cruise's crappy Mummy reboot crap the bed, this thread works just fine though.

TangledThorns Posted June 14, 2020 Author Posted June 14, 2020 Tried watching Artemis Fowl on Disney+ last night and stopped watching thirty minutes in. With all the talent and special effects in the world it was boring. Disney really needs to get their live action moving making crap together. Especially for their streaming service. Quote
TangledThorns Posted June 15, 2020 Author Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) KNIVES OUT is on Prime and watched it last night. Great movie that confirms Rian Johnson is a talented director. Just as long as he stays independent which I hope Disney will allow with his new trilogy for Star Wars Edited June 15, 2020 by TangledThorns Quote
505thAirborne Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 @TangledThorns Sounds like the same from almost every review, Chris Stuckmann was probably more polite than he wanted to be. Quote
Tking22 Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 Yeah Artemis Fowl was pretty hard to get through, very boring. A half hour in and I relegated it to background noise while I worked on a LEGO set, another half hour went by and I was ready to turn it off, made it to the end though. I highly, highly, highly doubt I will ever fire it up and watch it again, it was beyond generic and uninteresting. Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 On a whim, I watched The Wolf's Call on Netflix. I didn't have any high expectations for it, but I ended up pleasantly surprised. Very reminiscent of The Hunt for Red October, but with a very different story. I highly recommend it if you're craving to watch a modern submarine warfare movie, albeit with a French flavor. Quote
505thAirborne Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Finally got to watch FORD V FERRARI... what a damn good movie! Wish I was wealthy, would love to have that Ford GT40, what a sweet beast of a car. Quote

It started quite interesting and with good FX, but I had to turn it off after they shot the helicopter with an RPG. From a sub. Quote

I had to have one of those sexy Ferrari 330 P3s, too! A kind of "Max & Miriya," if you will... Expensive toys, but well worth it. Quote
TangledThorns Posted June 25, 2020 Author Posted June 25, 2020 Been decades since we saw a good asteroid movie and this one does look intense. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 The way 2020 has been going this might as well be a documentary. But it does look entertaining, would have been a good turn your brain off summertime flick. -b. Quote

Its really Disney's fault. Outside MARVEL most of their recent live action films have been complete crap. That being said, I'm still hoping MULAN will be a good film. Quote

That's my theory with Dwayne sometimes, he figures I'll make a ton of $$$ and then I'm out. Then again he was awesome in this SNL skit though. Quote
