vegas492 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I saw Shazaam 2. Went into expecting very little. Came out of it very happy. I didn't like the beginning. Baddies showed up outta no where. But then the story backtracked and their back story was revealed, in a very good way. Loved how the young Billy Batson acts older than what he is. But Shazaam acts younger than he looks. There was enough forced comedy....that wasn't good. But enough good comedy that was. Loved the unicorn reference. Really liked the ending. And I like Levi. There are times when he stops being a silly kid and gets this concrete resolve to him. Like a kid that knows he's just going to get through this event. Very determined. And I like it. I really enjoyed looking at Lucy Liu. And I think I would still drink Helen Mirren's bath water. That being said....first after scene was meh....very meh. Hated it. Last one was better. And I loved the cameo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if this whole Shazaam universe thing goes away, well, they would be wise to keep Levi as Shazaam. He does a very nice job. Course, Cavill was a great Superman and that doesn't appear to be stopping them from replacing him, so........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetsujin Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I watched Laura (1944) and The Asphalt Jungle (1950). Both really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're solid. I'd rank them: Rocky Rocky Balboa Creed Rocky III Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago Creed II Rocky II Rocky IV Rocky V Those top 6 being legitimately good movies, with Rocky III being very underappreciated. Rocky IV is good in a very goofy, super cheesy 80s way, but objectively lacking in a lot of areas that the director's cut improves tremendously. I was shocked at how little I enjoyed Rocky II. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I’m rewatching Castaway for the first time in over a decade and I can’t stop thinking about how jealous I am of Tom Hanks. Dream scenario for me. My own island with nobody around? Perfection for a full year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then after getting married and having kids, I was shocked at how much it resonated with me. Family and having that blessing is close to everything from a perspective standpoint.

Sad People Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Ive been re watching the Pirates of the Caribbean series and man does this franchise get progressively worse. CotBP was great and its been all down hill since then. Still have On Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales still to watch and i dont think ive seen either of them. Dead Men i know forsure i havent, maybe On Stranger tides. At Worlds End just makes no effin sense to me. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Silent Running is not a good movie by 70’s standards, but it’s better than 90% of movies made in the past 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went in with low to moderate expectations and absolutely loved it. Dead Man's Chest was a huge disappointment (outside of the score which I really dug) and then At Worlds End was a dumpster fire. I've probably seen about a third of On Stranger Tides and didn't even bother with Dead Men Tell No Tales. I had to look up the titles of the last two to even make sure I had it right. Just an epic collapse of story telling while they were chasing the dollars. They even had some interesting plot elements, just executed so so terribly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
