Yeah, I was surprised to see it on the worst half of the list. It struck (heh, pun, heh) me as one of the better sequels in a series that kept its standards surprisingly high.  Also, no sentient robot that may or may not be a sex worker.  

My wife watches this show for some inexplicable reason. I find it so insufferable that I have to leave the room. Excruciatingly awful.

Agree. III did a good job of transitioning Rocky from his grimy background into the world of a heavyweight champ. The Thunderlips thing was an overly silly diversion but otherwise it showed how he got complacent in the same way Apollo had with him years before. It was also a reminder that a lot of boxers like Clubber c…

Counterpoint-Rocky III is a fantastic movie and frankly, is superior to Rocky IV. You have a much better “villain” in Clubber Lang than Ivan Drago (who’s only reason for existence is because of the Cold War) and it cements the growth in Rocky and Apollo’s relationship from rivals to friends, which lays the groundwork…

I say this as someone who has enjoyed the Evil Dead movies all his life. Even the remake was fun for me, in different and sometimes lesser ways, but regardless, fun. Bruce Campbell, too, almost always sends me giggling. Sam Raimi? Pretty consistently enjoyable as well. I don’t care what anyone says, I love The Gift.

Maybe “Jane” is to Elizabeth Banks what “Gimme Shelter” is to Scorsese.

_{I was never going to see this, but I am rooting for it nonetheless. I am in favor of Hollywood making more batshit meme-movies.}

At this stage, The Little Mermaid is caught between the rubbery version of Pandora’s ocean floor that, graciously, sings with color and dingy, textureless caves that make excitement for another Disney remake hard to muster.

Guardians of the Galaxy was a huge blockbuster and is the definition of finding weird canon?? Not to mention most of the complaints for Multiverse of Madness were that they didn't do enough with the concept...instead we saw like 3 different universes? 

That flop made $955 million worldwide. 

I’m glad that I stopped paying attention to Marvel after Endgame. It all seems just so exhausting to keep up with anymore.

way too many characters [...] and an over-reliance on television show connections

Is there a sense that Lilly’s part has been cut down because of the stupid shit she has said about vaccines and stuff? I was surprised when they went all in on Shuri (especially given who she was replacing), but Wasp has not been made crucial to MCU designs in the same way.  Have they even decided exactly who is in…

we know bill murray’s in it. his name is on the poster and he’s been in a trailer.

When they originally teased and built up Thanos (the original “Thanos-level villain”) they kept it to things like the post-credits of the Avengers and that scene in GOTG. This just feels so forced “here’s the villain were telling you to get ready to love in our Avengers film! It’ll be just like Thanos”. It just feels…

The problem is they dropped the ball the very moment that happened. Boiled down to its essence, someone came onto stage and physically assaulted another person. In any other venue, involving anyone else, that assailant would’ve been thrown out of the theater, and into a police cruiser. That’s what should’ve. happened…

Right?  It’s funny how a lot of times AVClub newswires go for snark against all common sense.  Sometimes news is just news, and if you truly think it’s “beating a dead horse,” then why did you cover it?  

Exactly. Considering there was a violent assault at the same industry event last year, it would be kind of weird not to address the issue.

That’s racist!

I agree with her. If you get up and slap the host of an awards show you should be removed from the premises. That will never change.
