Gadot is so bad I don't understand how she has ever been cast in a movie, and there aren't very many people I would say that about.

It probably is an indicator that Patty Jenkins is one hell of a director because she was somehow able to cobble together a serviceable Wonder Woman movie with Gadot. I mean, the sequel was very bad but at least she can say she made one decent movie with Gal Gadot. Red Notice was god awful and Gadot was the biggest reason why, I haven't seen Death on the Nile but if she's a main character I can imagine she tanks that movie as well.

Nihonniboku posted:Yeah, I'm about 3 episodes in, and that seems to be the direction its moving in. Not a lot of answers, just more and more mysteries added on each episode. And for some reason it bills itself as a comedy, even though it's nothing of the sort. The impression I get having watched all the extant episodes is that they're trying to avoid doing that. They seem interested in providing answers and having the plot move forward rather than just milking every premise for as long as they can. Several plots have come to fruition a lot quicker than I was expecting them to It's kinda unfair that they gave Walken and Turturro the best story though. They're just acting circles around everyone else.

From what I gather, reviewers have already seen all of season one and agree that not only do they stick the landing but appear to be confident in their plans for s2.

I just finished episode 4, and honestly, what you've written is deceptive and misleading. There are still no answers, and just additional layers of mysteries. Maybe they get there eventually, but the idea they are looking to move the plot forward rather than just milking every premise for as long as long as they can is a flat out lie. Also, so far the Walken and Turturro storyline has gone absolutely nowhere and has not hinted at what direction it will go.

It's kind of shocking how bad the sound mixing is in parts of Tenet. There were a couple scenes where dialogue was almost fully drowned out by the score (the dialogue mostly being someone rushing through convoluted exposition also didn't help)

Nolan is one of those directors I feel I'm supposed to like more than I do. His Batman movies are fine. Too long and overrated, but fine. I like them well enough. Memento blew me away in high school but I feel like it would be stupid if I watched it now. interstellar was...ok. Dunkirk loving rules. it's the only movie he's done I actually love. Everything else he's done I either hated or felt completely neutral on and forgot about the second I finished watching it. Couldn't even make it 45 minutes into Tenet though. One of the most aggressively boring movies I've ever watched in a way that's sort of indescribable and I like a lot of poo poo that people call boring.

I watched all the available episodes and I agree with what precision wrote. Honestly, saying that they wrote is deceptive and misleading (or even a lie) after watching just 4 episodes sounds really stupid. The Walken/Turturo storyline goes places, I can assure you of that.

precision posted:one of the few movies where as soon as it was done i packed a bowl immediately watched it again. it's insanely entertaining. i wish it had been like 4 hours long, it does so much with sound design and camera work. A+++ Good friend of mine did the soundtrack for that film. Anyway that's my story.

I enjoyed Tenet - how can I hate any movie that involves time travel and has someone turn to the camera and say "don't think about it, just feel it" - but I watched it with subtitles knowing that it would be completely undecipherable otherwise. Being intentionally impossible to understand makes a movie bad, I think. Still probably the best Batman movie. This or Return of the Joker, anyway.

I think the whole 'unrelenting faceless horde throwing themselves into danger to stop the protagonist' thing worked better and made more sense in Inception. who are all these military types working for the antagonist in Tenet? are they mercenaries? they're aware of and masters of time travel and also btw they're completely loyal to the antagonist and willing to throw their lives away for him? btw what was the antagonist's goal again? to destroy reality as the penultimate expression of being a spiteful, abusive ex or something? incomprehensible

The (uneseen) antagonist's world moves backwards in time, and is on a collision course with our forward moving world, and will be erased once the timelines meet or some poo poo. So to them it's a battle for their world to survive. The bad guy we see is just a pawn and just wants gold. (As far as I recall, it's been a while) Apart from that, nothing in the movie makes sense once you think about it outside the context of a cool movie scene.

Following never gets any love, maybe because it's harder to track down and is low budget (and feels it), but it's a top 5 Nolan.

So to them it's a battle for their world to survive. The bad guy we see is just a pawn and just wants gold. (As far as I recall, it's been a while) I actually liked this bit with very few reservations. Kenneth Branaugh was trying to bury the macguffin in a dead drop to send it to the future (which is how they had set it up - once you can send things backwards through time, you have two way communication). The macguffin was a device apparently capable of inverting the entire world. It's explicitly said that no one knows what the gently caress that even means, but the future sucks rear end and they're desperate enough to try it, and it probably wouldn't be good for their past/"our" present. EDIT: I cannot stress this enough, I watched this with subtitles and am quite confident I would never have heard any of that over the inverted shootout car chase it was probably delivered during. EDIT again changed hte post I was actually responding to Boxman fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Apr 1, 2022 |
