You nailed my feelings on it as well. It was already CGI to begin with, so recreating large set pieces again with CGI makes this look like watching a playthrough with some character re-skins.

If they want it to be true to the games there should also be a 45 minute sequence where he runs around an old ruin looking for some way to advance to the next area before just saying “F—- it” and checking a Gamefaqs walkthrough.

Zendaya is in the last 3 minutes of the movie, too!

Ana de Armas is in the trailer, but is she in the movie? No way I’m getting burned on that again.

“Erotic” and “starring Ben Affleck” should never be in the same sentence.

“Did you know that disco record sales were up 400% for the year ending 1976? If these trends continue… A-y-y-y!”

Can’t wait for the crypto greys to come out and tell us how we are all wrong and just mad because we didn’t get in early. Which is funny because that implies getting in now is a bad idea but without more suckers getting in, no one will buy their funny money and it will become worthless. 

When Warren Buffer starts buying cryptocurrencies in large amounts, then I'll take notice. Until then, I'll refrain from taking investment advice from Lebron James, Larry David, Matt Damon, Rob Gronkowski et al.

For Larry, a donation was made in his name to the Human Fund: “Money for People”.

All I need to know is, were LeBron and Larry paid in crypto or USD?

Captain Picard confirmed for Multiverse of Madness, brings Star Trek into the MCU.

There’s always the old observation “how does a cliche become a cliche?”; because it works. As long as it’s well-executed there’s room for formulaic.

For a meat and potato show, it has some decent writing.

i FUCKING loved it.

I watched the first few episodes over the weekend and I think the purists will be happy. Reacher isn’t “quippy”, but he is funny in a deadpan, zero-tolerance-for-bullshit kind of way. Some of his sudden, Sherlock Holmes-ian deductive dumps are a little ridiculous, but in a fun way.

Watched the first two episodes and not sure what your dad saw, but Reacher is almost always stoic and it doesn’t seem like humor is ever his intent. He might want to try watching the show.

I wouldnt say it's a classic, but I liked the first one.  But then, I'd watch Werner Herzog read the phone book.

Werner Herzog was in the first movie.

I am a big fan of the book series (Echo Burning, Nothing to Lose, and Worth Dying For are among the best in series) and the first movie (Tom Cruise has the right personality, but the wrong build), so I am pretty amped for the TV series to truly take advantage of the books’ unique idiosyncrasies. The lead already got…

“is he wooden, or just so deadpan it barely registers?—but eventually his innate likeability takes over”

Sounds like they’ve got the character spot on.
