Dante Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Went to see "Winchester" last night. Bad. A bunch of jump scares. They wore thin. Absolutely no tension building. The acting was average I guess. They didn't even really explore the oddities and uniqueness of the house that much. Which is strange because it's what the movie's title is. I guess it was a try to give us Hollywoods anti-gun point of view but they weren't even really effective in doing that. Don't bother 4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Saw "Black Panther" today. It was fantastic. Great entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Like all of these Marvel movies, a great blend of action, humor and drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbillievable Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Saw Black Panther. It was okay; nothing special. It's was more political than funny. Maybe it tried to be more relevant than it should have been; not the super-hero escape I expected/wanted. I will say that the Villian was the most interesting character in the movie, a rarity for Marvel. With the hype, it should have been more epic.

shrader Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) So is the tone of the movie more along the lines of Winter Soldier? I think that one may have been my favorite of the bunch (and it just so happens to be on FX right now). im going with the hood on Saturday.

Surprised Helen Mirren took the role. Dang, that looked really good, wanted to see that. On 2/12/2018 at 11:03 PM, Mr. WEO said: This was one of the few movies I almost walked out of ever. Unbelievably bad---and from Clint Eastwood! Mind numbingly boring---it's the actual 3 guys playing themselves....badly! You have to suffer through what has to be the least fun Bro trip through Europe....ever. The actual attack and subduing of the terrorist accounts for about 3 minutes of the movie. The rest is completely boring backstory of the very boring lives of these three dudes. Their trip through Europe seems never ending and is incredibly badly retold by Eastwood. It's all selfie stick pictures and "hey, should we go get a beer?" "Let's go to Venice....or something". It's brutal. Wow! Eastwood Is Usually Great.

I think that one may have been my favorite of the bunch (and it just so happens to be on FX right now). im going with the hood on Saturday. It's a more serious movie, but the focus is on introducing A LOT of new characters and show-casing Wakanda. There were a few funny scenes and dialogue but sometimes those felt out of place. These characters aren't the type to deliver one-liners, with the exception of the sister, which was the most likable character. Also, the use of shaky-cam for many of the action scenes ruined them for me, even though the director stuck some great shots in there So basically you get a blur of movement, a hero-shot, then more blur. This was my biggest problem with the movie. The closest comparison would be Civil War, but with characters we've never seen before playing major roles. (plus the shaky-cam).

SinceThe70s Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Is it possible to turn a movie thread into yet another Tyrod thread? I saw Blank Panther today. On the way out my 11 year old told me that half-way through he realized that the Black Panther looks like TT and he couldn't get it out f his head.

LeviF Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Saw Annihilation last night. Weird film, but that's not surprising given the source material. The cinematography, audio, jumps in timeline, and how the strange content was handled made it feel like a Lars Von Trier film in some senses.

shrader Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I went to Black Panther this weekend. I wish it had been a little shorter. I really liked the Killmonger character, but it took too long to get him seriously involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
