He wasn't my first choice for sure, but it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be with him as the lead. I liked the dark nature of the movie.

I didn't mind The Batman. It's... different. I guess Christopher Nolan sorta ruined Batman for me. I just think his trilogy was so good. It's hard to beat imo. I went in to The Batman with mediocre expectations. Didn't know what I was gonna get with Robert Pattinson, but he did alright, I didn't hate him as Batman/Bruce Wayne. Zoey Kravitz as Selena Kyle...can't lie, i liked it, she was better than expected IMO. I'd give it an 7.5-8/10

It was a great movie. A sequel is coming in December.

Saw Thor: Love and Thunder last night. It was meh. Thought they tried to throw in too many jokes. And Marvel CGI has really taken a dive over the last few years.

I wonder if the price of CGI has gone up and they're trying to not spend the majority of their budget on it, or if they're just using cheaper poor CGI creators to put money towards other aspects of the movies. Or have their CGI people just gotten lazy? 🤷🏽

One of the major issues is volume. Whether it’s under Disney’s direction or Marvel themselves, the volume of their movies and TV shows has gone up dramatically over the last several years and there are only so many good VFX artists in the game. A close buddy of mine worked on many of the early Marvel movies. Even when they were spread a couple years apart, he would work 16-18 hour days sometimes a year leading up to the release of a movie. Quality work can’t keep up with the rate that the production companies are spitting out projects.

Man, I have so many 'superhero' movies in the back-burner, e.g. Dr Strange, an old Xmen, Thor...just can't be bothered.

They're just working from home that's all.

This seems to be jam-packed with potential, and some big stars. And it goes all sepia to make it seem even cooler.

Wow if anyone wants a movie to watch...check out The Voyeurs...holy cow. That lead actress is something else!

Neat movie, shot where I live, and nice cover song too.

Wes Anderson's kind of humor is not for everyone, though.

Great movie. As well as Rushmore, Life Aquatic, and The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Have not seen the other two but I did see Rushmore and liked it a lot.

Watched Moon Fall, it was ok. Pretty unbelievable that the moon is a hollow space craft.

Sedan_Clan · 09-13-2022, 12:15 PM

Pass on "End of the Road".

To me, it was one of those "it's so bad, it's kind of good" movies.
