It was visually stunning, had a beautiful world threatened by foreign invaders, a hero who realised he was on the wrong side and became a defender of the people through falling in love with one of them and learning their ways. It had flying giant eagles battling bombers and technology that allowed ordinary humans to…

That's because we already do art movies way better. But nobody does Things Exploding IV like the USA. ;)

I enjoyed Avatar. I don't get this hate-meme of "Pocahontas in Space". I enjoyed Forbidden Planet too, and that's essentially The Tempest in Space.

True, but I'd still like to see Anna Kendrick play her. Kendrick has gone out of her way to say she wants to and she kind of looks like a chipmunk (in a very adorable way, to be clear). She good do the humour right for Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

I have to say personally that I would hate that. Firstly, trying to have two Top Dogs would not, imo, work. One set of characters would trample on the other. Secondly, it would dilute the tone of both franchises. Thirdly, the X-Men seem to require their conceit of being hated or distrusted outcasts. That doesn't…

Which one? :D Have you seen the outtake where the Mandarin is just doing different accents to Stark and Rhodie?

Matt Smith could be a lot scarier (on the occasions they would let him which got increasingly few as the series went on) when he chose to be.

I liked the bit where he held Vader's helmet (seriously - where did he get that?) and said "I'm afraid I'll never be as good as you." To which I found myself thinking… "yup."

>>"Having him be simultaneously pathetic and credibly capable of doing great harm is a kind of brilliant choice."

How quickly people change. I remember positive comments about the MCU a few films back where people were exclaiming how happy they were that the MCU wasn't suffering from the usual schtick of having villains be more interesting than the heros but was rather focusing on their heros having interesting lives and personal…

I really disliked the underlying message of Zootopia which was that different species should recognize each others differences and respect them. Which would be fine it it weren't an direct and clear metaphor for race. The point being that there aren't inherent differences between races. Skin colour is a very…

I have to say, that if Lucifer had sneaked back after he and Decker had left to throw that PI guy through a window, I probably would have applauded.

Look at the message I was replying to. It's a criticism about the girl "learning to sew." That's not a criticism of its directing, it seems to be a criticism of the message.

As far as she knew, the two of them putting the tapestry back together was the only way to restore her mother to human form. Oh, and they had a deadline of dawn, as well. Don't criticise until you've been in that situation!

You are aware that many of us do not watch previews? In fact, on Amazon Prime where I watch it, they don't even have previews. Did you really have to spoil things for us? Could you at least spoiler block your post so that others can at least avoid it?

You know we're not those little apes that we used to be,
We're all evolved now, baby can't you see…

Meh. You always hurt the ones you love / twas beauty killed the beast / delilah cut his hair… This is a motif as old as humanity and not by chance.

You may be reading too much into that. The character was a property owner, just like many, many people.

And the interaction is especially good when there is a huge height difference! :) Watching Linda meeting Lucifer's mother for the first time was delightful seeing them next to each other. Those camera angles were just so darn mean! :D

Huh? Should he be made to look more caucasian or something? Or are you saying that facial structure or body type is over-exaggerated and that makes him a caricature? Well of course he's a caricature. Try to imagine what Elsa or Anna or Heaven help us Gaston would look like if drawn realistically. They'd be freaks!…
