Just got back.... yep it was missing something. I would go 6.5 out of 10... something was wrong with Superman this round... Batman was great. Steppenwolf was brutal. DC might be in trouble. The only save now? Do Flashpoint get all new writers and directors. Have them do a kind of reboot and when it ends have the old
Team come back for the final act. Boom...
Problem solved

I just saw a screenshot of Cavill's CGI'd no-mustache. Oh man. That WB actually paid real money to get that result makes me embarrassed for them.

My son mentioned that. He said it was very obvious, and poorly done.Originally Posted by Ricky
Why did they do that to his moustache?

He was filming Mission Impossible at the same time he was needed for Justice League re-shoots, but was contractually obligated to keep his mustache for MI.

Have you seen the most recent Spiderman? It doesn't have the problem you highlighted.Thank you! I'm also tired of the "ENTIRE WORLD IS IN DANGER!" threat in every superhero movie.
And I also get irritated at the sword sounds when the character just pulls it out.

I haven't, but that's good to hear. I'm just burnt out on Spider-Man. Every time I get invested in a Spider-Man series, it gets side-tracked or scrapped entirely. We were supposed to get a Spider-Man 4 in the Raimi trilogy, but that never happened. Then we were supposed to get SM3 in the Andrew Garfield ones (and Sinister Six), which also never happened, now they're re-booting again. Granted, it's ingrained in the Marvel Universe now, but I really don't have any interest in Spider-Man.

I really, really liked the latest Spiderman. The 3D in IMAX was also very impressive. It almost gave me vertigo, which isn't a bad movie either.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

Saw Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri earlier, and fucking loved it. Really great film.
Here's the review I posted to my blog: https://jamesdoctordodgeaggas.wordpr...bing-missouri/

Yep LOVED Spider-Man and the fact that it was grounded with no aliens and end of the world shit.

Really looking forward to seeing it next week (this week it's an exclusive San Francisco engagement-45 ,miles away).
It's a shame you were ruined by the other crappy Spiderman's Tom Holland is by far the best Spider-man ever. He actually feels like a real high school student.

THAT'S what was wrong with Superman's opening scene ... I thought I just hadn't seen him in a while and forgot what he looked like ...
Totally agree with this. Tobey was my least favorite part of the Raimi trilogy but not because I dislike him as an actor but he's bordering on human Valium, just not enough energy for the role. Andrew was too good looking and slick, not enough awkwardness. I kept thinking how did he manage to get that tall haircut under the spider-man mask.It's a shame you were ruined by the other crappy Spiderman's Tom Holland is by far the best Spider-man ever.

Anyway, Tom has been the best for me so far as well.
WONDER - I enjoyed it - 8.5
What I really wonder at is my continuing amazement at the rude, obnoxious and inconsiderate people who go to the movies. The theater was over half full and it was like watching a movie during a minor earthquake with all the seat kicking, paper rustling, talking, a couple cell phones, etc. constantly going on. Shame on me for going to a movie the day before Thanksgiving. But I STILL enjoyed the movie!

Very good film. It's the rare heart-warming film that isn't heavy on the cheesy moments. I must say, I know the film is based on a YA book, but I was shocked at how many kids were in attendance. We went on a Saturday afternoon, but I was still surprised. That said, this is certainly a film EVERY child should see.

Well. I finally got here (first time in I wonder how many years), and now am hesitant about how to proceed. The point is, there's been spells of time this year that I've done nothing but watching movies (the only other two things were listening and playing music), because bear's brain condition didn't allow anything else. Luckily, I kept track of the movies elsewhere; now look at my saved list and am awestruck. Will try to put it into next post, if the engine lets me (I forget if we have any character limitation to a post)

Daddy's Home 2.
Totally bereft of any humor. A waste of $4 and 90 minutes of my time.
1/6 beers on the RFSRS
I was thinking if someone offered to pay me to go see DADDY'S HOME 2 I still might not go.

I thought the first one was funny- 3/6 beers, but this one was putrid.But but but I liked the first one and I love Mel Gibson ...
I haven't seen either one, so I guess I am not qualified to judge them. I almost always avoid movies of this "type". The last one I can recall going to is THE BROTHERS GRIMBSY, which I also can not fully review, since I walked out in disgust less than half way through it.

Mudbound
First, let me say that I love how Netflix is making original films. Beasts of No Nation was fantastic. I haven't gotten the chance to watch the Stephen King adaptations 1922 and Gerald's Game just yet, but I'm hoping to soon. That being said, the cinephile in me finds something inherently wrong about watching a film on Netflix that I should be watching in a movie theater. Mudbound is one of the very best films of the year, and if all is right in the world, it should be nominated for Best Picture. I just worry that films like this will be overlooked by audiences and members of the Academy alike. My worry is that in the future, this is how all films will be released, or at least all films of this nature. I'm sure it won't happen for a while, but that's where we are headed I'm afraid.
Anyway, don't miss this one. It's a timely film and it really has an old Hollywood feel to it.
I'm confused, haven't you been around the boards recently?

Watched Predestination last night. It was completely different than what I thought it was going to be (in a good way). I was captivated from start to finish, which is especially complimentary since I started it so late at night. I was a fan of the first half more than the second (which tended to get a little bogged down with all the the time travel back-and-forth, in addition to the story not really going too much of anywhere--though I understand the circular nature of the story and life of the main character was the whole point), but really enjoyed the experience. Probably the most enjoyable and engaging movie I've seen in awhile.
