The Movie Thread


17% on Rotten Tomatoes and $1.2 billion at the box office incoming.

Genuinely feels like it was casted by an AI. Jason Momoa in a stupid wig and Jack Black just showing up. They should have committed to a full blown high quality animated movie tbh! Like I said though it is going to make so so so much money.
 
I really like the art style (though I've seen a lot of people hating it) - but yeah....not sure it's not gonna be any good. Shoe horning Jack Black in as Steve looks terrible

Art style is ok, except the creatures, which imo look awful. They should have just stuck to that for the humans as well and made them semi claymation looking.

Well the emoji movie flopped so there's always hope.

But just looked at the released schedule if it's for kids with U rating it'll make a bucket ton as nothing else is coming out. That's usually the trick with these films be the only game in town.

Thunderbolts, Mission Impossible and there is another TMNT (not animated which is a shame because that one was great a deserved far much more). But nothing really aimed at real youngsters.
 


One of my favourite movies of all time. 30 years old. A movie that has aged so well and still great after multiple viewings.

The absolute definition of a sleeper hit and word of mouth doing the PR.

It went up against Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction in cinemas so I read. No surprise it didn't do as well. Still they are three amazing films to be out at the same time in cinemas.

Production companies avoid head to head releases like the plague now.

In the US but was about 4 months after in the UK (it Feb 1995 here) still it performed badly.

Was against Stargate, Interview with the Vampire, Leon (another sleeper hit), Star Trek: Generations, The River Wild, Disclousure, Natural Born Killers

In the days of cinemas regular only having a few screens thats a packed schedule to find room in even without serious blockbusters.
 
Am I the only one who doesn't like the Shawshank Redemption?..just don't like it, nothing against it
Yes.

Slightly confused by Joker 2 discourse, its not great but its just a fairly average film which I enjoyed mostly. But then I was no fan of the first and anything that tries to humanise or give him a back story.

Anyway seen 20 (new) films at the cinema this year so far here's my rankings. (note Joker 2 comes very low but that's more its only the last 2 I didn't like 16 upwards are all pretty good movies).
[01] The Substance
[02] Dune: Part Two
[03] My Old Ass
[04] The Bikeriders
[05] Civil War
[06] Challengers
[07] Love Lies Bleeding
[08] The Fall Guy
[09] The Outrun
[10] Alien: Romulus
[11] Deadpool & Wolverine
[12] Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
[13] Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
[14] Inside Out 2
[15] Twisters
[16] Hit Man
[17] Joker: Folie à Deux
[18] A Quiet Place: Day One
[19] The Critic
[20] Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

Was Kingdom that bad? I loved the first three Apes films but not caught up on this.

Glad to see the Fall Guy relatively high up. Really enjoyed it as a more old school action romance film and not a franchise movie.

I love the new apes films (and I'm pro apes in general). I was utterly bored by the new one struggled to stay awake it was a very long 2.5 hours.

By contrast I've watched all three extended LOTR films and both Godfather films in the same cinema this year. Length shouldn't be an issue.
