JohnnyBlaze Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Starting the film countdown to Endgame! 2008 gave us the start of a magnificent film series. MCU is currently holding a 15-6 record with me. That is pretty good of course but there is room for a lot of improvement. When the MCU is at their best they are hitting grand slams like Infinity War, Civil War, and Avengers 1. Given the way film studios are set on cranking out films as fast as possible and making as much money as possible, Marvel Films has done an extraordinary job of making consistently good films. Most other studios would be lucky to have a 50% success rate. I agree. Even the 6 that I count as losses I would not say are total failures as every Marvel movie has some parts I can enjoy. So yeah, none of them I would actually give an F grade. As a comparison, I would give the DCEU a 1-4 record with 3 of those losses truly being F grades [Wonder Woman being their only passing grade]. They are so bad that I cant bring myself to watch Aquaman despite some decent reviews from friends, comic fans, and critics.

Principled Man Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I cant bring myself to watch Aquaman despite some decent reviews from friends, comic fans, and critics. I literally forgot about Aquaman the day after I saw it. Just another dime-o-dozen mindless CGI action flick, with no chance for drama or great acting.

Momoa is a musclebound beast who says “badass” as Aquaman. That’s not Aquaman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Between Get Out and Us, it’s safe to say Peele is the new pre downfall M Night Shyamalan. Back to back classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I liked this animated film quite a bit. The animation was most impressive, the dialogue was very good, and the characters were excellent. A solid thumb's UP. :ebert: :ebert: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Cargo A totally different take on the post-apocalyptic Zombie genre with a masterful performance by Martin Freeman. Very emotional and genuinely moving ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Donnie Darko. I hadn't seen it in years and I watched it with the kid. Went with the far superior, but more ambiguous theatrical cut, just to confuse her more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Us ----- Creepy but GOODI thoughf it was just ok. I love the idea, but too often the execution of the story seemed to rely on one slasher film trope after another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Just realized it’s not the NC17 version that I’m watching on Showtime since it doesn’t show the infamous full frontal scene. This is a network that played Showgirls and the Saw movies many times. You’d think they wouldn’t chicken out. FFS Showtime.

Mick KEEP MEANING TO WATCH IT! Same here. Definitely gonna get to it on Netflix since they play the animated Sony movies unlike Starz with the live action. Homecoming was easily the best since part 2. Edited March 29, 2019 by invisible airwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
