attack of the clones, 6/10
I don't have much to say. It's not good, cgi is rampant, poorly aged greenscreen is rampant, but I enjoyed watching it. The sound and visual design are still nice even if direction and writing aren't.
Worst of the Lucas movies unless I somehow dislike ep3 more next weekend

RoTS was good. Actually good by the standards of movies and not the standards of Star Wars which is a low bar.

John Wick 1-3 Meh/10

Storyline was what you'd expect from a video game, actions scenes the same, cut scenes the same, really it was like watching a walkthrough of a videogame.

I'll watch #4 if it ever comes out.

I thought it was really hammy with none of the benefit of the hammy humor that sometimes made the other movies fun. Dreary material.

Ep. 1 and the pod race spectacle was the best part of all the prequels, and it wasn't even crucial to the story. The idea that a slave owner could have stopped Liam Neeson from taking a some kind of force prodigy into the fold? Not even his own Jedi Council could dissuade him.

e: one of ep. 3 saving graces is that ewan and hayden really went to town in their fight. behind the scenes i seem to remember they bent their sticks on impacts, which gave it good weight in post. excellent gif material. and obviously mcdiarmid having such a contagiously fun time.

Episode 3. 7/10. Best of the prequels but that isn't saying much. If Lucas hired a fkn writer and director the prequels could have been something else, oh well.
It's a fun movie but not great. Again ep1 was a waste of time just make it start with anakin at 20 or whatever and it being a long war.
Too long but does have meme value.

If you don't mind watching cartoons, the cartoons are probably better than the movies. From clips, I would probably agree. Still has humor, and the "serious" scenes are easier to watch. Maybe it's because there's a sort of disconnect between the cartoon writing of the movies and them being live action.

I saw some of them ages ago. Might watch again. Probably will do Mandalorian first

All the thumbnails of spoilers kind of saved me from having to watch it.

Dragged Across Concrete: 10/10, Movie is a long 2 and a half hours but once it picks up it is an amazing movie. I can't recommend enough.


If you just want to watch the violence : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_aZ4SzJJ_o

You think so? I kind of bypassed it because of the name.

The lost city of Z - 6/10. Good enough as a biopic but I can't stand the overly dramatically slow manner of speech and it's also a very slow movie

I probably ignored it too. The only reason I watched it was because a podcast I like mentioned it being one of the best movies of the last few years.

I would watch a movie about Mel Gibson's descent into madness, starring Mel Gibson.

Even a cat owner with a musical cat admits the 2019 movie was terrible.

Surely 2021 has a film for critics to gang up and hate by now?

It's not often one reaches that kind of critical mass of horrendous, though. It deserves this place in film lore.

Except that's very untrue from musical, storytelling, choreography, and visual effects standpoints.

Yes, it was far worse than, say, Tolkien.

Actually Godzilla: King of the Monsters is far worse than Cats

I'll watch older Godzillas any day. At least two men fighting in monster suits are giving their all. Shoestring B can be a blast if you're in the right mood. Cats was a bit of a waste for reasons explored in this thread, and could have been a much more put-together production considering its budget. Too many lazy mistakes and misreads.

The older Godzillas were fine, Godzilla: King of the Monsters had every plot and script cliche imaginable, at least Cats was original.

Except it's not even original. It's been done before, like Spiderman.

Tenet 6-7/10

I feel like a lot of the plot was created in service of the type of special effects Nolan wanted to use.

If anyone has seen it I would like to talk about the plot I'm detail..

I keep seeing reviewers calling it cerebral. Is it really cerebral, or is it just a mess of obfuscated storytelling?

It's probably unfair of me but I feel like if I'm not motivated to watch the trailer, what good is the movie going to do me.

I can't really remember the plot and it didn't matter anyway.
