Possibly the WORST movie I've seen in recent memory 1/10

I saw the preview for that a while back and wanted to see it. That bad eh? I’ll pass then.

Moonfall was bad but enjoyable. This is just plain bad.

That's too bad, I loved her in Kick-ass.

The Cursed

My wife refused to go see this, because the well edited trailer had a jump scare that almost put her over the seat.

There wasn't a single jump scare in the actual film.
The whole thing is beautifully shot, and there's some good gore.
Pretty predictable, but enjoyable.
7/10- only because it looked really good, and there was some nice use of audio offscreen.

, classic.

That's too bad. I've liked Chloë Grace Moretz in most of her movies.

Check it out, if just for the lulz.

I had a dump scare at a film, once.

Close call.

Just watched No Exit and found it pretty good. I liked the first third and the last third of the movie. Middle part felt a bit slow/weak. Overall, good movie.

I was ok with it until about the half way point, then the wheels totally fell off when she was traversing the plane mid flight🤣

Oh yeah, not to mention that ending....

[Nascar24]

I believe the writers went on a meth binge half way through writing the story, she must not be getting offered many roles these days.

That's really bad, 'cause the first one sucked balls. I'll rate your review a 7.5/10.

matrix resurrections 6/10

That score might be a bit generous, but it's in the right ballpark. Your review gets an 8.8/10.

don't look up 7/10

Yup, good for what it was. Difficult to rate, because I think it was very effective at accomplishing it's goals, but not really what I was looking for either. I'll give your review score a 9.5/10.

The second is waaaay worse.

Marvel was smart to negotiate that Sony's Spiderman can visit the MCU occasionally, but the MCU will not go into Sony's universe. Sony's got some major quality control issues.

Although I like Tom Hardy and Andrew Garfield, and I think their performances do an admirable job trying to work with terrible material, those movies are aweful. Somebody needs to take the keys away from Sony, as friends don't let friends make terrible superhero movies.

Venom 2 was crap. An action movie with more drama than action.

I was surprised Hardy agreed to do Venom 2 with that awful script. I guess everybody needs a paycheck.

[Silent-Runner]

The King's Man - The Beginning. Not bad, although the son was a dumb *ss.

Scream 2022 - 5/10

[SubCog]

Rewatched Tenet. I thought maybe it would make alot more sense the second time. I guess it did make a bit more sense, but I still feel like I'm a long way away from really getting it. Good movie though.

[Kain]

Just watched The House on Netflix. Stop motion animated movie that is pretty creepy and trippy. Liked it.

[acroig]

House of Gucci - 6/10. Good performances from all involved but way too long.

[acroig]

The Green Knight: hard to score as it is kinda trippy but visuals and music are very good. 7.5/10

[Kain]

Just rewatched The Houses October Built. Fun little movie.

[Cyko]

The Batman - 9/10. Dragged in a few parts but goddamn that was awesome!

[KAC]

Last Duel. 14th century rape and women empowerment /10.
Ghostboners after life. Should’ve just watched the first one / 10.
No time to die (2nd time). Beautifully shot bond movie / 10.
Scream. So bad and predictable / 10.
Kingsman. So bad I just got to the finish / 10.
West side story. Some of the worst songs I had the displeasure of hearing / 10.
Nightmare alley. Overly predictable but well executed / 10.
And a few others I am forgetting.

[Silent-Runner]

Big Bug (Netflix), jeeebus, bored me to death. Terrible in a very french way. 2/10

[KAC]

Uncharted. Fan of the games would enjoy it quite a lot / 10.

[SubCog]

Rewatched Prometheus. It's okay-ish. 7/10.

Film starts off strong, taking the Alien franchise into exploring new territory. Some good character development, especially for David the robot, and Vickers (Charlise Theron) the robot-like woman who wants her father to finally die so she can take over his empire. Less development for soem of the other characters, including Dr. Shaw (the protagonist). Story is intriguing, questioning who the Engineers were and why did they create us... unfortunately the film goes full-on JJ Abrams and decides it's more fun to tease questions than offer any pay-off for them, and the last half of the film is mostly a series of horror vignettes, meant to feel like a nightmare where you're being chased by monsters and you realize you're not wearing any pants.

It's especially disappointing that this film defers any pay-off until the sequel... and then the sequel opted out of that entirely. Geez, a good sequel could have really redeemed Prometheus.

Honestly I think the Alien series needs to move away from it's "horror roots", and instead start to develop a more cohesive cinematic continuity, focus more on story, have more characters who survive from film to film. The Darkhorse AvP from the early 90s did an amazing job of this, continuing the story from Aliens with Ripley, Hicks, Bishop, & Newt, going on more adventures, learning more about the alien threat and how it evolves over time, etc. That's how the movies should be.

I had about the same feelings of it. I agree it could have been a good story if like you said the sequel continued on it and answered the questions it left us with. Its bad enough they made a movie with a plot that could not really stand on it own, but to then release a sequel that went off in a different direction really F'ed things up for it.

Also, it was the writing of Damon Lindelof, not JJ Abrams that was largely at fault. He's an awful writer. Has good ideas but apparently has trouble wrapping them up in any kind of cohesive story arc. Just look to what he did with the TV show Lost. Sure, it was a TV series and not a movie but he ran into the same issues with that.

Anyways, I did like Promotheus when it released but 10 years later I have trouble rewatching. Its just a real disappointment thinking about what it could have been. WTF is wrong with Hollywood.

Adam project. Stupid movie that I enjoyed/10.

[Silent-Runner]

Adam Project. As expected, nothing to write home about, but a decent popcorn movie. 6/10

[SubCog]

Aliens vs Predator. 6.5/10. uhhggg... Ok it's a bad movie, but there's some fun popcorn action to be found here. Structurally it's a mess, there's so many missed opportunities, very little setup or payoff. It's not the AvP movie anyone wanted, but maybe it's the AvP movie we deserved?
