It gives you sooo much, action, adventure, suspense, drama, pretty much throughout the entire movie, and yet at the end you just want 20 or 30 seconds more in order to see Coop and Brand reunite.. and we don't get it. AAArgh!!

In that way it reminds me of Oblivion, though at least that one gives us Jack 2.0 seeing Julia and her daughter just before the credits. 

 

Classic Nolan. He did a similar open ending with INCEPTION with the spinning top (totem).

I don’t know, I kinda like the premise on this one. He wants to be John Wick, but ain’t that dude, so he has to use a different set of skills to get revenge 

the way he took out the guy in the pool is hilarious, I was just thinking of how things could go horribly wrong with those

I guess this studio (or is it different companies behind this, Winnie the Pooh and whatever other one came out) made some money on the other garbage they released when characters hit the public domain.

They better have Abbath or his older band Immortal on the soundtrack, cause if you’re gonna make a brutal Popeye movie, then he needs a brutal metal band with a vocalist that sounds like Popeye on his soundtrack

Had me excited for a live-action series! Still nice fan film, and it took me a moment to identify the guy playing Terry. He was one of the heroes on Titan.

I think there may actually be two of these movies now. The other is called Popeye the Slayer man. Not sure if one is a fake or why there are two of them.

The question isn't why; the question is, why not?

I guess maybe the question is why they’re both horror movies. The story kinda begs more for a cheesy hardcore comedy

They are horror movies since it is the "thing" to turn old IP that just came into public domain into horror versions to make a quick buck.  Putting any more thought into then that means putting more thought into it then the people that shovel this kind of stuff out.

What I "Yam" is garbage.  

I used to be all for having copyright expire but this has me rethinking that.  (And the Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse ones).  Then again even talentless hacks have to make a living somehow.

All it’s proven by having the copyrights expire is that more than likely they’ll just crap on the character rather than do them justice in any new movie. I guess the only good Popeye movie was the Robin Williams one and everything else will just be a cheap cookie cutter turd of a horror movie. Then again, a modern Mickey movie by Disney would probably just be crap as well.

I'll stick with the 1980 movie, thanks!

Watched Moana 2 today, and it was good, IMO. Entertaining with some good (if not really memorable) songs and it didn't feel like it was crutching on the first movie to get by. Unlike with Te Kā, we don't see much of the bad guy until the mid-credit scene, which show they are definitely leading into a third movie. I liked it and I would watch it again.

[Big s]

Watched Black Friday last night on prime. It’s bad, but does have some great moments and maybe the most creative way of defeating a giant monster that I’ve seen in a live action movie. Plus it has Bruce Campbell and yet again he finds a way to shine in a bad movie. The movie is pure cheese, but might be entertaining to those that are fans of Bruce or for those that can have fun with a bad movie.

A new AMERICAN PSYCHO film?? Mind you this is not a remake of the original film with Christian Bale but a fresh adaptation of the book its based on.

I never read the book but the original film is so iconic and meme worthy. Austin Butler is an excellent actor so count me in as... interested.

Though I found his remake of "Suspiria" somewhat lackluster, Guadagninos is one of the most interesting contemporary directors IMO. "Call me by your name" and "Challengers" are masterpieces.  Looking forward to see this adaption, especially with Butler in the lead.
