we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
it turns out tight editing is a waste of time. you can just do whatever, people will still watch it and you're never going to get dinged for runtime or pacing

it doesn't even matter if you have enough content to fill the time, just make every single fight scene 15 minutes long, they'll loving love it

if you're on your 3rd sequel, you can safely assume that more=better. and this isn't police academy, no one is going to make you fit it into 89 minutes

it basically feels that way. movie studios have figured out that making things good is hard and expensive and doesn't actually reliably generate profit. maybe they've always known, we still get good movies 🤷‍♀️

everything out of marvel/disney has looked like poo poo for the better part of a decade now, they still reliably make more money than god every single release. you don't have to make a technically competent film to make a lot of money, so yeah, why would you bother?

yeah i was gonna buy it on itunes bc i like the franchise and all but man, im just too skeptical that it's actually worth its runtime to spend $20 sight unseen

plus it's not like each movie has been better than the one before. they're fun, but...

i can't think of much i didn't really like about it. there are some scientific inaccuracies and some obvious fabrications but both are in service to the plot and i don't think it suffers for either choice, on the contrary really

the production design is top notch for a miniseries, the acting is fantastic, hell it even has good, tight editing. its overall really well done i think

you could trim like 15 minutes. also for home watching there's like 2 perfect intermission points.

also the correct JW order is 2 > 1 = 4 > 3, though the ending fight of 3 is still the best in the series. the overhead camera thing near the end in 4 was a close loving second though.


my biggest gripe about 4 was not the length but to many people in invincible body armor, whether suits or the full armor. i thought those scenes in the previous ones were fun as like "oh poo poo boss fight" and also it was more fun to see him just mowing down a couple dozen dudes at a time

speaking of kickass fights, finally fixed my locale issues and finished wheels on meals, holy poo poo the final scene with jackie and the goon was incredibly well choreographed, one of the best fights ive ever seen

also the whole movie was absolutely hilarious. 10/10

perlmutter wasn't relevant to this at all. they had already taken him away from marvel studios and he was only in charge of marvel entertainment, which is a tiny division that is essentially just marvel comics and their licensing stuff
