“Early in my career”
“Early in my career”
There’s not a lot of wifing or momming going on in her work since hitting the big time. Or ever, really. I think that’s what she means: she gets to do protagonist stuff, not significant-other stuff.
“This war is one I have to fight. Alone. For budgetary reasons”.
Though you wouldn’t know it from the heavily stereotyped stand-up scene. It’s all, “Skrulls fly a spaceship like *this*, but Kree fly a spaceship like *this*.”
I disagree with this first point. I didn’t really find it had a lot of “padding,” more that there was an enrichment of the characters and their world.
I’m pretty sure all of Orlando was built on a toxic waste dump. You know Micky and Minnie at Disney world? Those aren’t costumes!
Just horrible. What former toxic waste storage facility in Orlando did Lou Pearlman rent on the cheap for these guys’ rehearsal space?
But he got you to comment, as well as me, and I feel the exact same way you do. We’re both fools! Fools, I say!
I kinda felt like the nun-chuck fight went on a bit too long. The swap from generic goons to Donnie Yen should’ve happened earlier because it was getting repetitive at that point. It was also in the same overall sequence as Rina Sawayama’s character going nuts on enemies with insane ground movement and knives. I think…
My issue with the hand-to-hand fighting in these movies is that they’re so heavily choreographed, they end up feeling more like dancing than fighting. Especially compared to things like Ong Bak, The Raid or, my personal favorite, The Man from Nowhere.
The Dragon Breath top-down scene is something I’ve been wanting for YEARS. One of those ideas that I saw somewhere (I thought Appleseed, but Minority Report might be the thing)... But just allowing the camera to treat the set like a set, rather than a building, and giving the viewer the god’s eye look at the combat.…
The stables fight was straight up Looney Tunes and I loved it.
When this was announced, my reaction was something like this:
Who wants a body massage?
Is his face guy from Easter Island?
Unsurprising.
How cruel and cowardly it is for bigots to not only fear and hate LGBTQ+ people but to deny their very existence. Tolerating intolerance is not possible and only leads to misery and death.
Agreed. The writer is clearly a novice, not a connoisseur of revenge films like the rarified company here.
This list is am ok jumping-off point, and like all such lists, is meant to drive argument, debate, clicks, traffic.
There are several glaring omissions:
I very strongly agree. It was so much better than I was expecting. And the title would seem to be perfect for this slideshow!
