You have to have some proven track record as a leading man/woman beyond one franchise ( Brolin isn't a leading man and no one is paying to see Hemsworth, Evans, Johansson or even better actors like Cumberbatch, Ruffalo, Del Toro, Elba outside their Thor, Captain America etc franchises.). Also rarely big bucks for one offs/ cameos/ guest appearances and then only to real superstars.Quote:

I am not sure how much Ron Howards daughter made in that tho??:01:Quote:

Funny what happens to some of these famous actors, and the movie just flops right

But it also shows depending on the taste of people if the movie was really a flop in there eyes right;)
Ruffalo, Johansson:unsure:Quote:

Did you see this one in the theater Idol?? And what did you think of it??
My wife and kids went to see it and, the kids said it was ok, but my wife didn't really like it, yet most of the others in the franchise she did enjoy ......Truth i am a Bond guy so most of these i don't run to the theater to see, but so far Deadpool is still on top for me and yes i did go see that in the theater, and watched it many times at home as well:)
Haven't seen Black Panther. Just not into the whole superhero thing anymore. I've heard it's good though.
Of course sometimes people feel they need to be so politically correct they inflate their opinions of certain things. See Moonlight where it's Academy Award for Best Picture and 98% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes doesn't line up with how movie goers actually feel about it on IMDB .ie It's Black and ghey for that's a immediate +6 from the critics.
Btw What is your opinion is the best Bond movie? Also. I'm so down for this.

Deadpool 2: It really does look wicked!!:yup::D I don't think i will have time for a nap in the theater for this one either :lol:Quote:

But i think they hit it big casting Daniel Craig and his series of movies i really enjoyed , and the bottom of the list would be Timothy Dalton as Bond....
How about Bond Girls??
Solitaire (Jane Seymour),Natalya Simonova (Izabella Scorupco), Dr. Christmas Jones (Denise Richards), Elektra King (Sophie Marceau), Jinx (Stunning!! Halle Berry), Solange Dimitrios (Catherina Murino)....

Spoiler: Show...any film that ends by racking a pump shotgun... Is just fine by me. ;)
(Yeah... that's the guy from "The Office".) :alien:
(...and a few of my cousins.) :alien:
I love The Silence of the Lambs :happy:
I saw Ready Player One last night. It was just good enough to keep me interested to the very end. Well done Mr. Spielberg.
Read Ernest Cline's book for comparison. :)Quote:

Hi,
The last movie that I watched was Oceans 8. Although the movie had a huge female star cast and the storyline had a huge number of loopholes. The flow was disrupted and continuity was not explained. All in all, I would rate it 5 stars out of 10.
Dark Phoenix. Utter shite. I was trying to be creatively critical, but I couldn't find anything creative...
Just saw Dark Phoenix. Uninspired acting. Plot had holes like swiss cheese. Timeline was off and confusing. Special effects were ok. Don't really want to spoil it for anyone who was thinking of seeing it... but the ending was pretty lame. Really disappointing!
Joker, awesome movie except hollylame included a peado song in it by gary glitter (who is currently sitting in a prison getting rich off the royalties), so that upset the UK. So that pretty much ruined one of the best movies I've seen while.
ALINA the battle angel..
Its really amazing SCI-fi movies. i seen it 3 time already.
Carter.
Entertaining in a wonderfully silly & over the top way.
Joker. Hadn't seen it when it came out, but was certainly an interesting origin story for the Joker. But it also speaks to our society and how mental health conditions are perceived and often dismissed or overlooked.
In the real world, the Jokester would have been zombified by happy pills so that his doctors could get a cut from the prescriptions. And yet, some people still have the nerve of demanding healthcare reform :dry:Quote:

Depp's dedication to every detail, from the quirky mannerisms to the distinctive accent, showcases his exceptional acting prowess.
"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is a captivating adventure film that kickstarted a beloved franchise. Johnny Depp's iconic portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, with his eccentricity and humor, steals the show. The film weaves an engaging tale of pirates, curses, and treacherous seas, accompanied by impressive visual effects, swashbuckling action, and a memorable score by Hans Zimmer. Its success has had a lasting impact, leading to multiple sequels and a cultural phenomenon. With a perfect blend of humor, adventure, and memorable characters, it remains a modern classic in the genre, offering an enjoyable cinematic experience.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (or whatever it's called).
Was better than expected, which is a low bar after that Crystal Skull mess.
Killers of the Flower Moon,
I still enjoyed watching a Martin Scorsese. One of the greats. Still, it could have had a better pacing, although I never felt like looking at my watch. I liked how Lily Gladstone and Jesse Plemons stole every scene they were in. Finally, I'm not sure it would have been a better movie, if it would have gone with the perspective of the native's. Motivation of some of the characters weren't as clear.
ANYTHING is better than Crystal Skull mess...anything.Quote:

Too many scenes are a copy/paste from previous films. You can practically guess everything that is going to happen, even before the scenes happen.
We don’t have time to understand the relationship between all characters as they die so quickly.
Aliens ridiculously grow fast, it seems that it only takes few minutes for them to get their final form.
I admit there is sometimes good rendering atmospheres, especially in terms of light and photographic framing, for example the weightless acid. It is a good idea but without any suspense as characters easily pass through without any burns.
Life's easier if you pretend the Alien series ended with Resurrection.
Going to the well too often. That and Alien deserves better than becoming Friday the 13th Part 23. I hated the more recent Scott films and Alien 3 but at least they were telling a story and not merely setting up gruesome deaths.
Alien 3 was the weakest of the four, but I can at least commend them for trying something different. Same with Terminator Salvation, even if that was also the last Terminator movie as far as I'm concerned...
Terminator Salvation was innovative with interesting new direction in my opinion.
The plot of the story is good, actors are excellent, what else ? :coffee:
It's a shame that this movie never got sequels.
I vote Alien & Aliens... "I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." ―Ellen Ripley ...'nuff said. :alien:
"They can bill me". The Good, the Bad and the Weaselly.
"The Wild Robot" was actually quite a charming movie, not just for kids.
Good for a Sunday afternoon.
Seeing Arnold trying to play a Terminator at age 120 just wouldn't be believable. I'm sure Hollywood understands that and would never try.Quote:

It’s not a horror movie, but it could give you a headache if you’re not focused on the story (the scenario is based on time paradox).
Actors communicate emotions and the film is gripping from the beginning to the end. I did not see time pass.
Well, now that you obviously gave the plot away, I don't need to see it.Quote:

The filmakers have performed an amazing job. The cast, scenery, music, costumes are beautiful.
You will have a lovely time (3 hours). Don’t forget to grab some popcorn.
Why else would we be here after all these years :)Quote:
