it's not that bad?
except the knight of roses is boring as shit and the danny they have written is really inconsistent and not really dannyish at all?
Steam
Saw Valerian: I liked it! It is super pretty, the action is solid, and can be super fun! It can also be profoundly, head scratchingly dumb! Essentially, it is the best of Besson, it is the worst of Besson.

And Caesar is maybe the best "hero" in the last decade or so of cinema. Andy Serkis is so very, very good at what he does.
Part of the reason I made the thread and didn't wait a few more hours for someone else to was because the trailer had just dropped, and I had to post it in a movie thread ASAP
Steam
Whoops.
Can't waste the best bits in the trailer

anyway
so far my main takeaway is if you're trying to be sneaky, maybe don't drive through a quiet suburban street on a de-tuned Harley, James.
there needs to be so many of them it's impossible not to have one in a trailer!
So I went ahead and saw Spider-Man: Homecoming by myself tonight, since everyone I knew had already seen it
Pleasantly surprised isn't quite the phrase? Maybe pleasantly blown away is more like it?
There are a few small things I dislike (the last big action scene is incomprehensible, Zendaya sucks, the credits are lame) but overall it delivered in pretty crazy ways

Also, Vulture was already probably my favorite villain in the MCU, but the post credits scene? Not giving up Peter? That cemented him as amazing in my eyes
Also the issue I had with Tom Holland in the trailers, I didn't have in the film itself - I was able to understand him perfectly. And honestly I hope he won't be typecast because of this because that kid is gonna be a fucking star otherwise
GDT is on some next level shit.
A scifi ass scifi movie with some great visuals, neat ideas, a pretty bad plot and some truly god awful acting. Going to take me some time to unpack this film.
Should I see it y/n?
Really good, though. It's not my personal favorite of my July Of Movies (that's still Baby Driver), but it's really good.
Hopefully Atomic Blonde is good next week so I can go 5 for 5.

pretty lukewarm on it, which is a slight disappointment
(actual spoilers)
Really, I keep getting hung up on the romance angle. I don't much care for the narrative that says men and women can't work together without developing a physical relationship.
It started off kind of rocky (station montage, Mul's destruction), picked up steam (Big Market), but the rest is pretty hit or miss. I was very happy when it became The Laureline Show for ~20 minutes, though.
I'm not sure I like Alpha being from Earth (though I imagine that's straight from the comics); conversely, I really liked seeing the progression from simple capsules to gigantic station; and the various "welcome aboard" bits were cute.
I'm not certain there was an actual conflict. From the outset, the heroes have both pieces they need to solve the puzzle, and they never lose them. Valerian didn't learn anything from his journey that makes him more receptive to Laureline's plea to give the items to the Pearls; Laureline didn't learn anything that convinces her to make the plea.
Which, once I lay it out like that, kinda makes the movie a Guided Tour of The City of a Thousand Planets.
I don't think it'll ever be a favorite, but I'm happy with it, in that context.
It's him doing his best Jonny Greenwood impression and it works out perfectly
You know how a lot of the trailers have been tied to the sound of a clock ticking?
You get a lot of that in the movie and it's the most anxiety-inducing thing

Speaking of Dunkirk, if anyone followed Drew McWeeny, he is now writing film reviews for The Tracking Board (looks like he has a Valerian review up now as well).
Also, not quite a movie thing, but sort-of? Movies with Mikey's Stranger Things episode is up:
It was very intense! And as someone who is not part of that culture it feels slightly disingenuous for me to say, but at the same time it felt very genuine and honest about the location it was set in, and finally, it did an amazing job of sticking a bunch of story in only an hour and a half. My only complaint was whenever John Boyega wasn't wearing a hat, he looked far older than what the movies portrayed him.

I watched Attack the Block with my parents, my dad's summary was: "I have no idea what that young man was saying half the time but that was excellent".
I don't mind, it's one of my favorite movies, and I missed about four minutes of it because I had to go the bathroom
So ... 7.5 hours?
