You could do worse in the bad Netflix thriller/horror department...but you could definitely do much, much better. Problem is I've seen almost all of them, so now I'm apparently double-dipping.
Just got back from this
I...kind of liked it a whole bunch? Like, it was incredibly flawed, but there's a really great movie in the somewhere!
It also had Brittany Snow from Pitch Perfect, Sasha Grey from....yeah..., and the guy who plays the Penguin on Gotham. I caught it on cable late one night and yeah, you could definitely do worse, but whatever merits it has are pretty much all thanks to that cast.
make sure you lock them in a bunker first
I got it for Father's Day but I'm waiting until we move and I get my theater room set back up before I watch it.
Gosh that was a movie with problems
There were like three different movies Spike Lee wanted to make in there, but combining them all was not a good idea
Which is a shame, as I really liked at least one of those, and may have liked all three if they were separated from one another
it'll be in.my apartment, so, same thing, really
Yeah, I'll allow it.
there are great movies out there, though
This seems like a good impression of it
Like, I'm really glad I watched it! But I probably won't ever need to see it again
I would be very interested in a sequel, though, especially if they can fix the pacing issues from this one
I've felt this way about a lot of movies, but Warcraft was the worst case of it I think I've seen
That movie needed time to breathe
I agree with this and am utterly mystified by a critical score around 30%. Durotan's story made the orcs interesting and I suspect his story arc was surprising to non-gaming audience members.
Assuming no knowledge of the lore, I thought this film should be at least around 65-70%. Is it popular to bash gaming culture in "learned circles"? Do you need to grease the right palms to get good reviews and Blizzard failed to do this?
Yeah. Interestingly the most recent example of this proving true (at least from what I've seen so far) is BvS, where say what you will about whether the film was good or not, the trailer for the "directors cut" is of a far more coherent film compared to the theatrical release.
The orcs were incredibly compelling, which was great and unexpected
On that note, how cute was that orc baby
These people actually don't exist in this case, imho
I mean, I've played maaaybe twenty minutes of WoW, no warcraft, and I have basically no idea what the lore is, I was flabbergasted that orcs came through a portal.
And I went with a complete non-gamer who was very thrilled by the whole thing. So ymmv.
Yeah juggalo joker fits in perfectly with this world's asthetic
Also I'm about to go see Independence Day, I have a nostalgia spot for the first and I love jeff goldblum so fingers crossed
So now, I'm stuck.
The Orcs look great, are acted well, have fun dialogue and a compelling plot, and are cheesy in just the right way.
The humans are poorly-acted, poorly-written, and boring. And look like they are cosplaying.
The humans, and the focus on them, drags the movie down.
which was a lot of fun
I will never get sick of crazy illusions, and the card throwing scene was fantastic
plus it had Dave Franco, who is fun
also I am super proud of the fact that I figured out that
I wasn't certain that I was right, but I realized it was possible
So it was true to the game
i used my credit to buy:
carnosaur
carnosaur 2
carnosaur 3
super mario bros: the movie
tyrannosaur
because when you get free money, you are obliged to spend it on a theme
TRUE
From the apple ebook price fixing case. I got $50.
Still, the ship is hilariously big
It was utter shit! It picked up a little in the back half, but the first 40 minutes were spent introducing a bunch of redundant characters with some of the worst "as you know" exposition that I've ever seen. None of the actors had even a tenth of the charisma of Will Smith (the script did them no favors here, and even Goldblum seemed mostly bored), and outside maybe one scene the whole thing just lacked any sense of fun.
It only ever looked fun to me when they used Bohemian Rhapsody.
Which is flat-out cheating.
