Casimir Radon posted:What's funny is reading Masters of Doom published in 2003. Kushner tries to give Romero a happy ending by mentioning his relationship with Stevie Case. Read today we know that that's at least two failed relationships removed from the present. it's legitimately kind of funny how his relationships got progressively less and less, y'know, way the gently caress out of his league until he ended up shacking up with a woman who looks like she spends half the year at renfaires

Barudak posted:The freeway sequence plus the Neo fight is incredible and is still excellent to this day, even if a lot of the CGI has not aged well. Downside is it is attached to an otherwise middling film whose next best sequence is thefight between neo and a pathway guardian. Animatrix is more uneven than bad. World Record alone justifies its existence, and I also like Second Renaissance a lot, but Final Flight of the Osiris is ugly as gently caress and the rest I can kinda take or leave.

The Saddest Rhino posted:i've read on chinese rumour mills that people are actively advocating for Jing Tian of The Great Wall and Kong (and the upcoming Pacific Rim 2) NOT be Mulan. If you've watched any of these movies, you'll be surprised at how top billing she gets with her... uh, acting prowess. I haven't seen any of those yet, better or worse than Angelababy in ID4: Resurgence? Because Angelababy put in the single worst English-language performance I have ever heard in that movie (though I don't feel qualified to judge her Mandarin acting).

The CGI looked really bad in parts and the writing suffered from the usual Frank Miller problems, but the short with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the gambler was legitimately great, and while the other two were way more uneven, they at least had the decency to put a lot of Marv in those two.

Snowman_McK posted:How much of this is just how much Eva Green gets naked? Eva Green has been naked in way better movies than Sin City 2. Keep in mind I'm not saying it's particularly great (frankly, the CGI made me shocked it was even in loving theaters), it just pleasantly surprised me because I went in with my expectations in the absolute dirt. (My willingness to engage with the movie was because I saw it on Netflix, saw that it was under two hours, and went "gently caress it, why not?" I'm willing to cut a movie a lot of slack if it comes and goes relatively quickly, given how many movies are nearly 3 loving hours for no reason nowadays.)

Most of the movie is fine except for a few bits where it just abruptly falls apart; I'm assuming the budget ran out before the CGI was finished and they had to release the movie with temp effects or something.

What happened with that? DVD releases of it are fine. What release are you talking about? A quick Google tells me the "25th Anniversary" blu-ray seems fine; if you imported a Blu-Ray from Japan, then yeah, I've heard that the English sub tracks on Japanese BDs can be extremely iffy.

If the Power Rangers are a hodgepodge of different social groups that come together in solidarity, there is still the issue of what the Rangers stand for. Same with the Avengers and Justice League. Same with the Toretto clan. I mean, the Toretto clan stands for "gently caress rich people, let's take their poo poo and drink Coronas and drive fast cars" which is Rad

I'll say I was being a little overly harsh for the sake of trying to be funny, but Hardcore Henry is a really loving bad movie. Russian Tommy Wiseau and Sharlto Copley are just about all it has going for it; the choreography is mostly flat and uninspired, the visuals are serviceable at best, the script was threadbare even compared to poo poo like The Raid, and honestly I just ended up kind of checking out by the halfway point. It's honestly kinda astounding that I made it to the end. If you wanna see a good successor to stuff like Crank and Gamer, go watch Officer Downe on Netflix. It rules.

raditts posted:I don't know what you're trying to say about The Raid but I don't like it one bit. The Raid is extremely good but the script is basically the bare minimum needed to facilitate crazy rear end-beating Which is fine when the action is actually impressive as hell, like in The Raid, but Hardcore Henry achieves the same heights... once. Literally once, in the entire movie, does it even come close to that kind of action, during the motorcycle chase.

raditts posted:There was the Don't Stop Me Now sequence towards the end too. That just made me wish I was watching Shaun of the Dead. Also, for me, the motorcycle chase (and, I'll admit, the parkour chase near the beginning) stood out because they were the only times the movie really leaned on its stuntwork, instead of just blurry CGI gore flying everywhere. And it's legit good stuntwork. The movie just doesn't have the budget and/or self-confidence to keep doing that, and it doesn't have the script to back it up. Naishuller's Weeknd video showed definite improvement in the same vein, though, so I'm actually excited for whatever he does next. I just did not like HH.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Some are starting to peter out, we used to get one Underworld movie and one Resident Evil movie every year or so but I really don't know if they've got much more gas in the tank. But even then they're just planning on rebooting Resident Evil rather than letting it pass away peacefully. Underworld is probably not ending any time soon. Blood Wars made 80 mil WW on a 35 mil budget. e: oddly enough, looking at BoxOfficeMojo, Awakening actually outperformed the first three at the box office by a loving huge margin, and then Blood Wars was the lowest-grossing (and still made a healthy profit). Not really sure what to make of that, given Awakening was the point at which the series went from "fun middle-of-the-road action shlock" to "seriously these are barely even loving movies anymore."

Chairman Capone posted:I will say that it at least looks better than Fanboys. But that is also damning with the faintest ever praise. Fanboys was cute, I thought. The fawning treatment of the SW franchise in it is kinda dumb, but the jokes mostly worked for me and the movie had a lot more heart than most comedies in its vein ("trying to fulfill the goofy last wish of a buddy with cancer" is a really loving strong premise for a road trip comedy). I'm not gonna talk it up as some unsung classic or anything, it is absolutely not that, but I'm always baffled when I see people treat a solid 7/10 movie as the Worst Thing Ever.

I, uh... I saw it in theaters and actually really dug it at the time, though that was largely because I was at the peak of my "ugh there's no more R-rated action movies anymore!!!! grrrrr! I need gore in my shootmans movies!" phase and it sure was a shootmans movie with a fuckton of gore in it.

DeimosRising posted:Like what? It looks like absolute rear end (the fact that it cost 35 mil to make is genuinely loving astounding and makes me wonder if a lot of that money literally got set on fire, Joker style), the actors are either talentless or sleepwalking, the script is simultaneously exposition-heavy and utterly nonsensical, the action choreography is weightless DBZ nonsense... basically any way a movie can conceivably go wrong, Blood Wars barrels loving headfirst into. However, this has the end result of making it utterly hilarious. It is absolutely not a lazy movie; it's just incompetent.
