Avatar: The Way of Water
I liked it. Not much happens story wise but I love exploring the lore and stuff of Pandora.
Barbarian
Sadly it does not stick the landing but everything up to that point is great. Love how it plays with the fact that the audience already expects Bill Skarsgård to be creepy.
Went into this one mostly blind and the unexpected transition was definitely A Moment lol.
Thanks for the Spoiler…
John dies at the end
Watched the new ant man and i honestly thought it was a lot better than the reviews gave it credit for. The cg was pretty bad though.
Just watched Monsters, Inc. It’s great, the ending is really sweet too. I miss old Pixar ;(
One of my favorite movies of all time. It’s so creative and charming. It has aged very well, I think.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Friends of mine were hyped for Across the Spider-Verse and that was my opportunity to go watch the first with them. If you’re an animation nut, then yeah, this movie is brilliant for that. A very fun movie, definitely going to pick up the Blu-Ray when I pop to HMV in the future.
spoilers for Into + Across the Spider-Verse
I did get a new unexpected favourite character, and it was the movie’s version of Sp//dr Robot from the Peni Parker version of Spider-Man. Such a great robot design, and I was pretty gutted when it got destroyed in the final fight. Even moreso, I was spoiled on Across the Spider-Verse where they apparently used the comic book design which, ngl, disappointed me a bit. I’m apparently in the minority here but, eh whatever.
I think the first Spiderverse movie, if I remember correctly. It was great, it set a new standard for animation in general.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
I liked it, and it seemed like a good way to show characters changing without actual growth.
The Little Mermaid (2023). It was mediocre. My main issue is its pacing – it moved slooooooowly. Almost all of the underwater scenes were rather dark, as well, which took away some of the whimsy (I guess? Not sure what word is right here). Still, the pacing was the main negative.
The last one I saw in theaters was Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. It was gorgeously animated and detailed, and I’m excited for Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Last night I torrented a camrip of The Flash. It wasn’t terrible, but the ending kinda dissappointed me. (I’m not sure how to put spoiler tags on Lemmy, so for now I’ll just leave this comment as it is.)
Saw Elemental on Friday. Wasn’t bad. Nice message. I didn’t catch the whole controversy about pronouns though. 🤷♂️
Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I’ve seen it before but watched it with friends, including one who had never seen it, after consuming edibles and had fun with it even though it’s slow and cheesy.
Everything Everywhere All At Once (for the second time) and it’s even better the second time.
I feel bad because I just couldn’t get into this. I’ve seen all the praise but I just don’t think it’s for me.
undefined> Everything
Watching a second time helped. It’s a movie that throws a lot at you all at once and then sort of grabs you by the neck and drags you along. But I liked that. And of course, everything isn’t for everyone all of the time. Plenty of fish in the sea.
Watched John Wick 4 last night with my wife. Keanu Reeves is a legend.
Transformers 1
I like that one. The rest, not so much.
Guardians of the Galaxy 3, pretty good.
