Graphic Novel movies. According to the specialists, comic books and graphic novels are not the same.

 

They're all funny books.

[Quintus 6,351]

I used to read the Beano and the Dandy. They're like that.

[Sweeping Strings 3,393]

Superman - there are attempts at GOTG style humour that too often just don't fit, and Supes was also too often 'beaten down' and reliant on the help of others for my liking. But the cast are fine and the action is pulled off with the requisite spectacle.

I thought people didn't like it when Supes is too powerful? Now they want him to be invincible again?!

[Jill Sandwich 11,060]

He's Superman. Not Wimpyman.

[A24 5,129]

Yes, but where is the danger when he's too powerful?

[Jill Sandwich 11,060]

Zod Snyder killed him in BvS!

[tomsmoviemadness 4,785]

There's a balance between him being too strong and beatable.

 

The fact that this film starts out with Superman being beaten almost to a pulp and in the middle is beaten, then after that another time and at the end he barely wins, made it in my opinion not really work.

 

I'm fine with showing his losses, but all this film does is show that. I actually don't remember how he wins at the end. All I remember is that he gets punched a million times.

[Quintus 6,351]

This movie sounds dire to me.

 

My kid and I watched the original last night, it was his first time. As the credits rolled the first words out of his mouth were "that was S-tier".

[Chen G. 6,070]

Doesn't sound promising to me either. But then I don't care for this genre, and least of all for the jovial approach that filmmakers like Gunn take it in.

 

But I guess Warner Brothers needed a win...

[Jill Sandwich 11,060]

Only Superman IV matters anyway.

 

 

[Quintus 6,351]

We're going to do the trilogy. I'm not going to tell my lad there was a fourth one made.

Yep. This sums it up nicely. 

[Quintus 6,351]

Final Destination Bloodlines was awesome. I haven't watched one of these since like, the 2nd or 3rd however many years ago they were. Didn't they turn into fairly rubbish straight to video affairs? It was never a franchise I was big into. But this reboot (I think it's supposed to be) was fabulously gruesome and genuinely creative. They set up the impending doom with the satisfying precision of the best Rube Goldberg machines, but they keep you guessing as to the exact chosen tool of death right up until the last second, which makes for some hilarious blood-splatted shocks. It's gratuitous as hell and the special effects in the moment of death are perfect examples of effective CGI combined with practical. It's beautiful.

Some new movies for a change

Any good?

 

If I weren't so tired of John Wick-style action movies, with all their choreographed and stylized fights, I'd watch that.

[tomsmoviemadness 4,785]

I thought it was great! Lot of fun. Story could've used some extra work maybe, but De Armas is great and Reeves' appearance feels very fluid and not tacked on or anything.

I suppose it's okay if you watch it with mates. But even then the repetition (fight after fight after fight after fight) is tiresome. 

 

 

[crocodile 9,640]

Rewatched Sinners. It's a really good film but the marketing should have toned down the supernatural elements. Yeah, there are some those in there but it's not at all the focus. I find it more moving than scary and vampires are used in a very different context than normal. It works much better as a period drama than it does as horror. Great use of music, they could easily do a Broadway show out of this.

Final Destination: Bloodlines

 

Fantastic!! Does exactly what a Final Destination film should do.

Fantastic kills and a story that makes you invested and just care enough about these characters, but only just enough, because you're also still waiting for them to die. Hahahaha.

I gasped and laughed multiple times at the deaths, especially in the way the film build tension and then completely went the other way with a death. Great stuff!

And a wonderful final performance from Tony Todd, whose last words are just so beautiful.

 

Oh, and great score by Tim Wynn.

[Jill Sandwich 11,060]

The opening scene was fun, but the rest of the movie dragged. And I can't even remember what happened at the end.

That was the notable thing about the movie for me, that it made me chuckle and almost guffaw at some of deaths and near misses. Can't remember the last time a 'horror movie' made me laugh along with it. Maybe Evil Dead 2.

Check out Barbarian

[crocodile 9,640]

Fantastic Four: First Steps. It's quite good, to be honest. Like Superman, it is not the best told movie but it definitely gets the characters right. Some things felt bit clunky, rushed or underdeveloped. But it still works, probably because of the charming retro-futuristic tone which makes every imperfection kind of cute in context. It's sily but you go with it. I enjoyed myself more than expected.

 

Oh you better like Giacchino's theme because it almost never stops playing. If ever. All things considered, he was probably the best person for this job.

Tonight's double feature

[A24 5,129]

 

Easily the worst movie of the franchise. Contains one of the worst scenes I've seen in a very long time. Avoid at all costs!

I thought it was brilliant. I have issues with some of it, but chiefly I get what Boyle was going for.

[Jill Sandwich 11,060]

I've only seen the second one.

Didn't like that one either but the third one takes the cake.

[Glóin the Dark 1,851]

The scene where Erik shows the picture of his girlfriend makes the film worth watching all by itself...

[Gustavo Joseph 65]

Weapons is a pretty darn good horror movie, great to see with a full crowd. 

[Bellosh 4,525]

It blows my mind it's my favorite TWKYK guy making that movie 

 

I can't wait to see it!!

[Jill Sandwich 11,060]

I love that curly haired blonde from Ozark in it.

[Sweeping Strings 3,393]

The Naked Gun - chock-full of daft gags both visual and verbal, which is exactly as it should be. Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson acquit themselves ably with the deadpan silliness, and Danny Houston is the bad guy. I had a lot of fun with this (stay to the very end of the credits if you go see it yourself).

[Edmilson 12,261]

Do you agree or disagree with Spike Lee?

 

 

[Jill Sandwich 11,060]

I didn't care for Sinners.

[Edmilson 12,261]

I thought it was okay. Decent, but not the transformative experience many are saying. But I guess it just wasn't for me.

[Quintus 6,351]

I don't agree with him but I definitely think it is a very good movie.

I agree with Spike Lee that Sinners is his favourite film of the year. It isn't mine, though, even out of the few that I've seen, and I thought that the musical sequence was pretty good but hugely overhyped.

[Jill Sandwich 11,060]

I don't have a favourite movie of the year because I didn't like the 16 of them that I've seen!

[Quintus 6,351]

I'm waiting for one called Weapons. They've done some great low key marketing around it and the poster grabbed me straight away.

Eh probably Bring Her Back, Drop, and Companion. But still, I didn't love them. They were just watchable.

These are the ones I've seen. I think I could make the case for any of the top four being my favourite. I've put Harvest first because, for the first half, I felt like this was one of my favourite films of the decade so far, let alone the year. The second half didn't live up to that, but an hour of euphoria is not to be sniffed at...

The Ballad of Wallis Island (James Griffiths)

Sinners (Ryan Coogler)

Three and a half stars is pretty good for a film you didn't care for!
