I'll give this a mixed yay, but I'm easy on this type. Its fun, its Underworld, its Van Helsing, its Ghost Rider 2...it's harmless and brainless. Sometimes its fun to just coast though.
I admire the bravery it took to see this in the theaters. Oof.
No bravery involved. I knew exactly what I was getting into, and this movie delivered on that front, that being essentially exactly as Skitch described.
I am eagerly waiting wigwam's review.
Sure why not?
STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Rian Johnson) - 9
STRONGER (David Gordon Green) - 6
THE DISASTER ARTIST (James Franco) - 7
THE FLORIDA PROJECT (Sean Baker) - 9

Yep! This turned out exactly as I expected. And I'm just fine with that. I'll add to that list...Hansel and Gretal: Witch Hunters.Quoting TGM (view post)
Did you guys see this in 2D, 3D, or IMAX? Trying to gauge your level of commitment here.
Hansel & Gretel has some fun moments (mostly at the beginning) but that's another ... Oof!
Btw, Skitch, if you liked that the guy who directed it is doing a 3D, live-action version of Ghost in the Shell.
I'm about to become a father again on Wednesday, so this was a last hurrah of guy fun at a Cinemark XD 3D full blast of cinema effect. I'm okay with that too. The 3D was passable, but far from essential. Again, harmless.Quoting Irish (view post)
I saw that news. I remain...ambivalent to it as the live action Akira. I'll see it, but I don't follow the train of thought that remakes, new takes, prequels, or other have the ability to "rape my childhood". Nothing they can do can remove my love of the originals. Who knows, maybe it'll be great! I certainly have my doubts, but if it sucks, I'll just go on loving the originals and ignore it. No sweat off my brow.
I watched it in 2D. 3D far exceeds my level of commitment for any movie anymore. :P
Wow! Congrats! A big noisy 3D movie sounds like a good way to celebrate.Quoting Skitch (view post)
A good way to go. There's probably elements from the original that could make an interesting live action picture, but yeah. The originals are always there so in the long run, no harm, no foul.

Thanks!Quoting Irish (view post)
Don't get me wrong, my instant reaction was a big ass Darth Vader NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!, but it passed quickly as it always does. Even if its a trainwreck in a tunnel...I'd rather have them try and fail than not at all, because theres a CHANCE of success, no matter how small. I'll take it.
Whether you guys love or hate this movie, wig is so damn spot on here.Quoting wigwam (view post)
:lol: Similar to my "WTF?!" reaction.Quoting Skitch (view post)
There isn't any market for it, and they'd never do it, but I'd almost rather have them remaster & re-release the original on 3,000 screens than do any kind of remake.
Imagine being 13 and seeing that movie on the big screen for the first time.
1. Underworld: BadQuoting Skitch (view post)

Casablanca's not all that great.

Fuck that. Easily top 10 films ever made.

:lol:
Seriously, though, Casablanca is one of an absolutely minuscule number of films that deserve all of the legendary love and praise they've received over the years.
Top notch stuff.
