Reply to Saw the D&D movie today. It ended up being pretty okay, better than I'd expected. Not going to win an Oscar. but it was fun, scary at moments, engaging and definitely worth the time and money. If you're into that stuff at all, def a good to see. by circular_file

Honestly best fun in the theater I've had all year (sneak showing earlier today).

My only complaint was that the trailer ruined a few gags (but there were plenty more) and that there was zero Led Zeppelin.

Fantastic cameos as well. The movie has heart.

Reply to 'John Wick' Changed Movies Forever by PooPooRichardson

Gun Fu is a new style and type of filmmaking, and in that sense the genre has changed filmmaking and movies. John Wick happens to be at the forefront of Gun Fu. I get the writer and editor had an assignment to promote John Wick 4, but they should've picked different content to do that because the article actually does Gun Fu as a genre a disservice. I don't find the John Wick world-building to be that deep even taking into consideration the upcoming spinoffs, unlike Guillermo del Toro's stuff, LoTR, Harry Potter, etc.

A lot of trailers, and I get that their point is to sell the film, are almost too good.

I would watch this movie, I did not enjoy watching the movie that actually got made.

A friend of mine said he heard it’s “Monty Python and the Holy Grail with a $100mm CGI budget”. I scoffed, obv. So naturally we made a bet. Another friend will be the arbiter if we can’t agree.

I’m a lock to win, yes?

I thought it was an absolute blast. I hope it does well so a sequel happens. It felt very much like the first small adventure of a larger campaign.

Reply to Thoughts on Annihilation? by kczbrekker

Good movie, but I read the book before watching the movie and the movie was not anything like a faithful adaptation of the book. And unlike some adaptations which change things for good reasons (e.g. Lord of the Rings), I felt like in this case they could have done a better job of just doing what the book did, which was already largely good enough to be filmable.
