    The Jungle Book had the same thing with limiting the facial expressions on its animal characters in order to make them seem... realistic, I guess. Combined with a cast of screen actors instead of voice actors it made every character seem really bored.

    More Detective Pikachu.

    As someone who doesn't really care about Pokemon beyond "oh that one's cute," I need this movie in my veins.

    love that Pikachu is in a booster seat.

    But you don't need to do any dance remix to I Wanna Dance With Somebody, it's a perfect song as in, top 5 song of all time!

    Jigglypuff blowing their tuft of hair was adorable.

    I love these pokemon designs.

    A video game movie that is not only grabbing mainstream attention but has taken great care to be respectful and inclusive of its' fanbase. Like it would be easy, and even reasonable to expect, to stick with just first gen, but they didn't. They GET it.

    More of this, please.

    My daughter is in love with Pancham. She refers to her self as Pancham, and runs around the house going "pancham! pancham! pancham!"

    Sometimes when talking to her she'll just suddenly respond with "pancham?".

    I'll have to talk the wife into letting me take the three kids (7, 5 and 5) to this movie. I'm pretty sure it will completely blow their minds.

    How good we have gotten with CGI animals gives me such "Do Androids Dream" vibes. These creatures could go extinct and a generation of kids would think they were all over the place due to movies.

    Was kinda meh on the Lion King until I watched it on a 4K screen, then it looked like Planet Earth with singing animals and I'm totally down for it.

    Your Name's director and band who did the soundtrack? Spot on but I do worry it's trying to be too much like Your Name with the story beats.

    tbf basically every Makoto Shinkai trailer is exactly the same

    Luc Besson tries his hand at a Jane Wick spy movie. I'd be more excited if Besson wasn't like a total creep and his movies have been shit since uhh the fifth element?

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    When you do it right, no one even knows you were the assassin...

    Why would you ever put Lucy ahead of The Professional in your promotion and not even include Fifth Element? Lucy sucked ass, no one even remembers that movie!

    Anna looks utterly generic, and the model being an assassin was a villain plot point in The Spy Who Dumped Me and other TV shows like Chuck.

    Setting expectations. "Hey do you vaguely remember lucy from the trailers?"

    But again with 9 women accusing Besson of being a creepy creep its like "maybe this style of movie should have been avoided luc?"

    Yeah that plot point was done better in Zoolander.

    Nice to see Ana Gasteyer in something again, wish they could have gotten Molly Shannon and Cheri O'Teri for this movie too.

    I think this was posted a while back, all these movies blend together, but I'm starting to see billboards of this put up so I youtube'd it and it's so low effort. Sad!

    This is what happens when you keep giving Mark Millar money.

    Edit: to be clear, this is not Millar.

    This movie looks like if James Bond and Mission Impossible had a baby and then they nursed that baby only on brotein shakes, Red Bull, and cocaine, and then that baby grew up to be a volcano basejumper who basejumps into John Cena's arms and then they fuck and get married.
    And I just watched the second trailer for this movie, and I believe the below continues to be true, but now John Cena is an ayahuasca dealer who only eats bullets and drinks gasoline and every day is motherfucking leg day, motherfucker.

    Can't say it any better than that. This looks ridiculously awesome.

    Well that was fun, although the ending being Moana vs. Black Panther is kinda weird.

    I would lose my shit if Jonah Takalua was one of The Rock's family members, like just some side joke they never mention but you hear this guy scream out to Stringer Bell "fuck you, sir!"

    I'm pretty unsure how The Boys will translate to the screen, but the new trailer suggests they're not shying away from the source material. I do love Garth Ennis' work, so I guess I'm hopeful they don't fuck it up.

    Hobbs and Shaw looks incredibly dumb, but hey, Idris Elba as the villain!
