| Movies I Seen In The Last Week
I'm Unemployed RN So Everyone Always Hittin Me Up And I Probably Shouldn't Have Seen Three Different Movies This Week But I Have So Here They Are
Spoilers for Black Panther | | 3 |  | The Naked and Famous
A Still Heart
Ready Player One
This was a bad book that shouldn't have been a movie. While I'm glad that this movie will probably spike interest in sci-fi/cyberpunk stuff, it's *so* shitty. It does *nothing* entertaining with an interesting concept that could feasibly be seen in our lifetime. The humor is hit and miss, the plot is unbelievably stupid, and it's not worth sitting through over 2 hours just to have a nostalgia circlejerk over, like, a gundam. Oh look, it's tracer. wow battletoads. cool its general sheppard. I will give props to the sets and worlds shown (there's a scene involving the shining. it's pretty good.) and the action was entertaining, i guess? 4/10 | | 2 |  | FM-84
Atlas
Black Panther
Like Ready P1, this movie was way too fucking long. There were like 2 good action scenes. I can't believe they stuck in a 'WHAT ARE THOOOSE' joke, jfc. And they gave it to the only interesting character in the movie, too(the scientist sister). Seriously, I couldn't care for the main character whose plot development seemed to just be 'oh i wish the girl liked me!'. Killmonger should've been a character I love - he's the classic tragic villain, and i'm a sucker for that - but I didn't like the performance *and* he gets killed off at the end??? what the fuck?? The Marvel Cinematic Universe seems to give its villains a lot of lenience with not dying, and for them to give a pretty complex villain a rather anticlimatic death was just upsetting. In the same vein of Ready P1, i greatly enjoyed the setting of Wakanda, and while the action was few and far between, it was done well. 5/10 | | 1 |  | Kacey Musgraves
Golden Hour
The Strangers: Prey At Night
You know why this is my favorite one? Because it's only 100 minutes. No unnecessary bullshit. It introduces our nuclear family, gives them like ten, fifteen minutes of exposition, and gets right into it. It's a clever-enough thriller where it's easy to root for the heroes. Yeah, there's some stupid shit, but an acceptable level of stupid shit for a movie like The Strangers. Just enough unnecessary theatrics on the titular 'Strangers' part. Loved the 80's soundtrack. Shot pretty well. The neon-lit pool scene is great. 7/10 | |

04.01.18 | I quite enjoyed Ready Player One personally, it was fun. The plot is dumb, there's no character development whatsoever, and it is overlong, but the visual effects were really well done and it delivered what I was expecting - a feast for the eyes with an interesting world to explore. Can't disagree with your criticisms though, but I will say I think the referencing thing was actually handled pretty good, it wasn't constanlty like "woah, that's ___ from ___", "wow how cool is it that ___ is there", they were just an accepted part of the the environment mostly. | gryndstone
04.01.18 | yeah, i had a good time watching it for the action, but that's it. i see no reason to revisit it :| | Astral Abortis
04.01.18 | The first Strangers was one of the worst horror films ever so I have no doubt the sequel is worse | neekafat
04.01.18 | Yeah Ready Player One wasn't great but I had a good time with it
I saw like 5 films in theaters in the last week what's wrong with me | artiswar
04.01.18 | The Strangers was a terrible home invasion film. Didn't know there was a sequel. I'm sure it was even worse dog shit than the original. | zaruyache
04.01.18 | And I thought I was a curmudgeon wow lol. Ready Player 1 was fine even if it was a bit silly. If you want "bad," me and the boys sat through God's Not Dead 3 last night purely for the lulz, and we ended up having none because of how boring it was. | gryndstone
04.01.18 | Those God movies aren't even entertaining in the slightest why would you do that
yeah, i had fun watching Ready P1(probably more than watching black panther tbh) doesn't mean i can't be critical of it | zaruyache
04.01.18 | 4/5 agred | Titan
04.01.18 | i thought The Strangers was pretty good
second one, well.........
and no way was it 100 minutes......very short movie | Astral Abortis
04.01.18 | Isnt 100 minutes considered pretty short? I reckon any film under 2 hours is almost dangerously short | Titan
04.01.18 | my personal benchmark would be anything under 100 minutes is short
movie was 85 minutes
| gryndstone
04.01.18 | i just went by what google told me, but yeah it was definitely closer to 85 |
