Clearly they are lol. This is what I don’t get about this place or film lovers in general:

Movies aren’t math. One person can see one thing and abhor it for their reasons. Another can see the same thing and adore it for their reasons. How you feel about a movie is about you, not the movie. It’s what you bring to it and what you want from it. What bothers one person may not bother another.

When we act like there’s a right and wrong to skin a cat, then we’re doing it wrong.

For me, the only things objectively wrong in movies is bad craft. Lighting, blocking, shoddy camera work, boom mics in the frame, etc. just bad technique behind the camera. But when we’re talking fight coordination, that’s going to be subjective. When we’re talking CG even that’s subjective because some people genuinely do not care.

There are several writers who genuinely love the movie and I’m not mad at them. There are those who hate it and I’m not mad at them. All art is subjective. All of it. And I just don’t think that’s a concept we adhere to anymore.

Well, the problem is that LONG ago, people stopped looking to reviews to inform them about a movie, and are instead looking to support their opinion of the movie. And to an extent, a lot of reviews are written with that in mind.

But you are right about nearly everything about art being subjective. Because for every movie with shytty CGI, there's someone out there ready to complain about how actual good CGI is annoying to them.

Although I'd argue that there are some things that while how someone values or feels about it might be subjective, the thing objectively is whatever it is. Like, anti-comedy is objectively written to be unfunny. But subjectively, you either get that the joke is supposed to be that it's unfunny, or you stop at the shyt just not being funny.

she had the chance to join Shang Chi but choose this instead
I guess she would've played the sister

The cast of Shang Chi should THANK her

 

[CHICAGO]

depending on the role MCU is the better choice
guaranteed money for 5-10+ years

NAH GOING IN THEY
WERE SAYING THIS WAS
GONNA BE A NEW TRILOGY.

NOW THEYRE ACTING LIKE
THEY WERE FORCED
AND I THINK SOMEONE IN THIS THREAD SAID THE TRANNY SAID
THIS IS THE LAST ONE
SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

I thought this too the fight scenes weren't all that good I just blamed it on everyone being too old

Naaaaaaaah this aint on age

Every combat interaction in this shyt was terrible

Bad choreography, weirdly shot, messy

Yeah it’s less about the function of reviews, which aren’t to be treated as gospel yet they kinda are now. Reviews are just that persons opinion. But to your point, people look for cloysters that support their opinion and live in that world. Just like people pick their news now.

the reactions have been so negative I dont think Ill ever bother watching

I personally wouldn’t see it in theaters but I think it’s worth a watch if you have HBO Max. There are some major flaws but I was engaged and entertained for most of it.

Jessica Henwick is cursed

Between Iron Fist, the worst season/fight scene in Game Of Thrones, and this she's a magnet for bad projects with trash choreography

she looks good in yoga pants though …

Felt like the movie didn’t start until they met Niobe. I actually preferred the 2nd half of the film to the first half. Overall not really good. Too jumbled

6/10

I did like the scene in the garage with Doogie Howser and Trinity.

 

[Duke Dixon]

I liked Jessica Henwick in this and other stuff I saw her in. She was in Love and Monsters which is getting sequels and that movie was 1 or 2 rewrites away from being a modern classic.

THATS THE WORLD
WE LIVE IN NOW.

PPL ARE RARELY HONEST ABOUT
FRANCHISES THEY LOVE.

WE SEE IT WITH MCU
ALL THE TIME.

Yep. Stan culture has ruined entertainment. Sports, music, movies, tv etc etc.

 

[duck]

I’m
In the theater now this is the worse shyt i ever seen in my life



Please god I’m begging you stay at home

Those of us that did stay home and watched it on hbo max are disappointed as fukk. I couldn't imagine going to a theater to see it. The overpriced popcorn must have been the highlight of the night

Movie was a recap of the first 3 trying to force a way to use these characters again. It wasn’t necessary for the franchise. I don’t think it harmed the franchise though.

I hope they don’t plan on continuing this story though.

And I agree with everyone else.. new Morpheus was garbage. I don’t think the movie as a whole was trash. It’s an alright movie it’s just not up to par with Matrix standards and the plot just seems unnecessary when every new scene had to include flashbacks to the original trilogy

it’s weird hearing a character that’s suppose to be Mr. Smith say Tom and not Mr. Anderson
