I liked Kingsman 2 for the sheer batshitsanity. I don't think I'll bother with The King's Man though. Also, award for best Country Roads usage goes to that one Ghibli movie I forget the name of.

IShallRiseAgain posted:Kingsman 2 was just so unfocused. There were so many little subplots going on at once. It felt like the scriptwriters just threw in every idea they thought was neat. The funniest was Halle Berry becoming a field agent, but right at the end, paying off a plotline that they never mentioned before that point, leaving me and my wife going "Oh, good for her...wait...was that something she wanted to do?" precision posted:i half watched the new King's Man since it's on hulu and just, ugh. it totally wastes a lot of neat environments and Rasputin for a boring and stupid movie where almost nothing happens and when things DO happen, it's things that suck (like Rasputin getting taken out in 1 second) The night time fight in the trenches was really good and more of the movie should have been that. CelticPredator posted:And also this is good This sums up the movie pretty well. The idea of Elton John suddenly being a kung fu master is good on paper but it's a dogshit execution.

Yeah I’m not sure why the action looks so bad and cheap in the film. It’s very floaty and kinda dull. Despite it being wacky lol

Despite it being wacky lol It's also the extremely blatant cut between the 70 year old Elton John and the stuntman, instead of working within what a 70 year old could plausibly do, which can result in a surprisingly good fight scene. The Protege, an otherwise unremarkable film, has Michael Keaton as the villain's heavy and he and the stunt team sell the hell out of it.

I finally got around to seeing last year's Mortal Kombat movie. It's... what I expected, really. Some good fight scenes, an R rating, a completely unnecessary and personality-free OC white dude protagonist, no Mortal Kombat tournament, and a desire to focus on Sub-Zero vs Scorpion while also having the Special Forces and Shaolin characters and thus making the whole thing feel unfocused and plodding outside of the fight scenes. Enjoyable for what it is, but it lacked the humor and sense of heart that I associate with the modern Mortal Kombat games. Edit: Yes, I know Cole's actor is British-Chinese. The character is distilled mayonnaise. Cythereal fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Feb 24, 2022 |

How are you gonna make Mortal Kombat and not have the Mortal Kombat tournament. That should be like the first thing on the design document, maybe underlined a few times.

Do the games even have actual Mortal Kombat tournaments outside the first couple of games and the reboot? Making Mortal Kombat without the tournament seems more accurate to the games at this point.

The rest involve the big bads rules lawyering ways to have folks fight outside of a tournament/invade earth without winning a tournament so the movie is in line with that.

The Mortal Kombat movies also have a bad habit of getting someone really entertaining to play Kano and then killing them halfway through.

A hundred years ago, country was straight up socialist music. At some point in between then and now, Richard Nixon came up with the Southern Strategy and altered the course of the genre. Then 9/11 solidly destroyed the genre, turning it into what we know today.

We are getting a Beyblade movie from.... No, not Michael Bay Jerry Bruckheimer! quote:Neil Widener and Gavin James are scripting the project, whose plot details are being kept under wraps. No idea about this one, none of my nephews were into Beyblade and my son is too young for it even though he is a big fan of things spinning https://deadline.com/2022/02/jerry-bruckheimer-beyblade-toys-movie-paramount-1234959192/

I don't know about puppet, but they definitely have a good working relationship. In Transformers 5, Bay wanted to put a sunken pirate ship on the ocean floor in one scene, and since we'd also recently worked on a Pirates of a Caribbean movie, asked to just use that one. Normally using hero assets from another movie (let alone another studio) is a big no-no, but Bay just said "I'll talk to Jerry" so now Javier Bardem's pirate ship is part of the Transformers universe I guess.

Pope Corky the IX posted:Every once in a while a song is used in a movie or television show and it really works so then the creatively bankrupt idiots in charge all trip over each other to use it as well. I remember when Scrubs used "How to Save a Life" in an episode where a bunch of people died and next thing you know it was on every single medical-themed show like Grey's Anatomy and ER within six months. I was shadowing at a hospital a few years ago and some of those dick heads unironically put it on as a hype up song before doing a brain surgery. Perhaps it was they who needed the brain surgery...
