It was a solid retelling with much cooler special effects. It’s not the sort of thing that lasts, but it was fun when I watched it.

Not really sure a 3-hour environmentalist anti-colonial sci-fi epic is an obvious fit for Trump supporters. Pretty much everyone went to see Avatar. Most people seemingly liked it, just not very passionately.

There’s probably a solid base of people who enjoyed the movie and will think about going to a new one, especially if it looks good or gets rave reviews, and a sequel could lose two-thirds of the original audience and still be a hit. Making four at the same time seems risky though, since people might just show up for…

Without wanting to be a stick in the mud for all the people who genuinely love this, am I completely alone in watching it, thinking it was a good movie, and moving on? It definitely works, and the What’s Up, Danger sequence and the final battle are both gorgeous, but I certainly prefer the average MCU movie, including…

Isn’t a “spoiler” that happens inside the actual story just a plot twist? Unless it just pops up with some text during the end credits saying “Rey dies.”

I figure there’s a difference between ‘the established fictional rules of this universe” and “why is this happening?” Like, in Game of Thrones, the dragons make sense, because they were established to exist in that universe since the story’s beginning, but Euron Greyjoy suddenly building a massive navy and then…

I mean, I was pretty annoyed at her before we got to 15 minutes in this film.

For Zoey Deutch’s sake alone, I would hope this spin-off doesn’t get made. That would be a few months of her life down the drain right there.

I refuse to believe that even the hippiest hippies in the zombie apocalypse would burn all their weapons, and I’m not really sure that “pacifism” as a concept applies to battling rabid zombies, so in that way, Berkley did catch my attention, but I was content to leave it with, “none of this makes any sense, does it?”

She’s a one-note dumb blonde stereotype who does her best to single-handedly destroy the movie. They can make it, but I’m not watching.

It’s both, always.

Putin absolutely has that much of a chip on his shoulder, and so much more. Between the two, I’ve only personally been to China, but I know a few people from both. The Chinese ones can back their government up as as well as any normal debater defends their political side, but the Russians basically just throw their…

I’m entirely willing to believe that Dreamworks is just lazier, but, more to the point, those changes are about clarity, not something politically charged. I know Abominable did change certain jokes and the like for the Chinese version, for clarity’s sake, but politics is a bit different. Arguably, that’s propaganda,…

Many years later, but I didn’t recognize him either, and neither did my mother, who watched Psych obsessively.

Definitely. I didn’t personally like The Man From UNCLE, but it proved to me that Henry Cavill was a fantastic choice for Superman who got betrayed by the films he was in.

It’s all going exactly to his master plan!

It’s his civic duty.

It would also be a clear break from the current DC universe, which could only be a good thing. All the good films they’ve made in it are standalone aside from vague references, and the key pillars that would make it coherent, like Affleck’s Batman and Cavill’s Superman, have been rightfully scrapped. It’s less than…

“[Film is] the country’s least self-aware industry.”

This would be a problem if the characters were Filipino and using that map, or if the film had them stop and talk about just how far China extends, but, as you said, they’re Chinese characters in China who looked at a Chinese map of China, so it makes sense that the Chinese version of the border’s used. This might…
