Finished Bright. It was alright. Every instance of it tackling a social issue was embarrassing and the story is pretty predictable but Will Smith's and Joel Edgerton's charisma and chemistry are enough to keep your attention. 3/5.

My favorite Lexi Alexander quote is "If I'd know how it would have upset him, I'd have blocked Max Landis on Twitter much earlier."

We just saw it and I was about to post the same thing. The cast in general saves it and it was pretty fun overall. Nothing groundbreaking but I'm surprised at how unkind those early reviews were now. I'm excited that Netflix has already green-lighted a sequel, because I'd love to see this same cast of folks and setting but not written by Max Landis.

Nothing groundbreaking but I'm surprised at how unkind those early reviews were now. Pretty much my exact reaction. The plot gets a bit too cliched and predictable towards the end (and it was a bit weird that they spent so much time at the start establishing the hobo wizard character and his gang for them not to reappear again) so it didn't stick the landing but I'd tune in for #2. The setting felt pretty restricted as far as magic items and magic users are concerned but I'm sure there's still a ton of fun stories they can squeeze out of it. I wanna see some stories with those police cavalry officers.

Honestly, a Coen brothers style movie showcasing all the insane cons Barnum did who've been way more interesting. Why whitewash someone's life who was actually interesting, if terrible? Save that for some boring British royal or something.

I watched Jackie Chan's new flick Bleeding Steel and will be writing a lot more about it today, but Jackie Chan fights goth cyborgs on a star destroyer and that's only a tiny bit of the ridiculous things that happen.

That woman you see putting on lingerie in the opening shots is a dude, who seduces a book writer to steal his notes and money because a witch dressed in tribal witch doctor clothes (and with a midget) has been selling the writer the dreams of Jackie Chan's dead daughter who was brought back to life via a cyborg heart and magic blood.

If it wasn't for the fact that I'd already seen a 2017 Jackie Chan film where he carries out Guerilla Warfare on not-the-IRA (who are given a really weird name in political terms) including taking down Pierce Brosnan doing a great not-Gerry-Adams I'd be more excited for this.

In the final fight against the cyborg goth who looks like the Borg meets Mr. Freeze (and is now nude), a one-armed Jackie Chan has his missing arm grow back due to his daughter's magic blood so he can use it to rip out the bad guy's mechanical heart and punch the bad guy into an explosion

It's a great movie that really emphasizes that Chan is both old and also a badass. I mean the badass part is a given, but I think this is the first Jackie Chan movie I see where it admits that he's an old dude. I also saw Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle this weekend. This is actually pretty entertaining. - The story is pretty average, but the cast really sells it. The Rock is kinda believable as an introverted nerd, while Kevin Hart is playing a typical Kevin Hart character. Karen Gillen, however, is pretty good playing someone socially awkward and Jack Black is maybe way too believable as a popular teen girl. There's a scene with both Gillen and Black that emphasizes their contrasting personalities. Nick Jonas is just kinda there, but he's serviceable. - There villain is also not really given much attention, but I like that they give the name of the British hunter from the first movie to a power hungry American guy who wants to assert control over Jumanji. - When the two female characters from different backgrounds talk to each other, they immediately get along and come to an understanding, and later one of them even let the other borrow her outfit. When the two guys who used to be friends talk to each other to work out their isses, one of them tries to 'kill' the other one. -The movie has a maybe unintentional callback to David Cronenberg's eXistenz. The non-'real' characters in the game all give canned responses that were 'programmed' into them and they will repeat the same lines until you say something that will make the story progress. There several times in the movie where the characters fail to do something because they are thinking in real world logic instead of video game logic. They even used this to subvert a 'hot female character seduces bad guys to distract them' scene. -One disappointment I have: early in the movie, there is a flashback to the game's backstory and one of the characters ask how can they be seeing this to which another character explain that it's a cutscene. The movie later switches to the villain's perspective a couple of times but there's no indication that the main characters can see them too. -Like GOTG2, this is another PG13 movie that has prominent penis jokes. And I mean jokes about actual penises instead of just vague references using phallic shapes. Safe to say, the crowd I watch with loves them.

As someone who has fond memories of the book, I did like the shots of what I assume is Camazotz, though the bits with that kung-fu master and all the talk about "becoming warriors of light" don't really fill me with confidence.TheNewt posted:I mean what was the art direction crew thinking? Maybe it's just me but a lot of live-action Disney movies seem to have the same kind of aesthetic. I'm not really sure how to describe it other than "way too bright and way too much obvious CGI".
