I heard what the crazy, mind blowing twist is in this movie and had to see it.



It's still not as fun as it should be.  But, if you really want long, languorous shots of Matthew McConaughey's sculpted naked buns this is the movie for you.

Extremely wicked shockingly evil and vile
The movie about the events surrounding serial killer Ted Bundy. Most of it focuses on Ted himself and his girlfriend Liz, who is 'trapped' by his spell of charm.
Overall it is a compelling watch even though you already know how it is going to end if you know the story of Ted Bundy.
It doesn't have the definitive answer on why women flocked to this guy even when he was already on trial but it does show a very human side of this shocking story.

Efron's performance is great so it is well worth a watch.

I've been watching foreign arthouse films, specifically Italian auteur Andrea Bianchi's Strip Nude for Your Killer. You guys probably wouldn't understand the dense allegories.

But for real though, it pretty much delivers exactly what the title implies, which is lots of sex and violence. Take some hot eurobabes, throw in a masked killer, add a dash of sex farce and you got a movie you'd be proud to take home to your mother. If your mother was Joe Bob Briggs.
4/5

After making fun of comic book movies for a decade without ever seeing one single MCU movie, me and the wife took on the challenge of seeing all 21 of them.
Iron Man was alright, but I fell asleep the second half of that movie. 
The Incredible Hulk was terrible, none of it made sense, The whole motivation of the Bruce Banner character doesn’t make any sense,
Iron Man 2 was pretty good, Mickey Rourke as the Russian dude was pretty cool casting, however the final battle was kinda anticlimactic.
Thor was a cute fish out of water story, then I fell asleep on the couch. 

[BisMarckie]

Oh yeah and we started Captain America The first Avenger, but stopped because I had to prepare dinner. Has the potntial to be my favorite of those one hour in,

That lady is pretty, how furry was she

It was the 70's, so...you know.

Rewatched Iron Man 1 recently, I was so convinced it'd hold up really well but it mostly doesn't. Probably cause the rest of the MCU took that formula and ran it into the ground lol.

[Joe Molotov]

omg, Drive is on Amazon Prime. Not the Ryan Gosling one, but the late 90's DTV kung-fu Mark Dacascos one. That movie sucked, but it has some amazing fight scenes and stunt work. I saw it for the first time on the USA Network at like 10:30am in between classes in college. I still own the DVD, but like....the DVD is way over there....and Amazon Prime is right here.

[Dickie Dee]

Rewatched Iron Man 2 yesterday. Surprised by how much I liked it - much more so than I did at the time. The Avengers bits they stuffed in don't seem to derail the film as much as it did at the time.

[bork]

Man, that new Spider-Man trailer deflated any excitement I had for it. Its just typical

and on and on...

Exact opposite for me.  Because...

TEH SPOILERZ + FANBOY DRIVEL

The claim that Mysterio (who appears to be a good guy AND has super-powers- the original Mysterio is a villain and does not) is from another world changes everything up.  If this is true, they're introducing multiverses into the MCU, which will allow for crazy shit to happen (and is an easy way to bring in the X-Men and Deadpool, lol) and maybe even multiple versions of characters...including characters who died coming back from other realities.  HINT HINT.  But it also could be Mysterio being full of shit.  In fact, some already are are speculating that this being a trailer means it's all a ruse and that the Nick Fury in the film is NOT Nick Fury, but might be another classic Spidey villain, the Chameleon.  But then how would they know who Spider-Man really is?

And if there is multi-verse stuff in this movie...the name "Far From Home" takes on a completely different meaning.  The black-suited Spider-Man in the trailer...did we see his face in any other trailers?  If not, maybe that's MILES.  Holy fuck, totally excited now.    Betting that's not it and it's just Peter though.

This can be backed up by a mini-series Marvel did a few years ago, BTW, called "Spider-Men."  Main comic universe (616) Mysterio found a way to access what was the "Ultimate" universe (separate comic line based on the various movies and is where the design for Sam Jackson Nick Fury came from, plus Miles Morales as Spider-Man) and the Mysterio in the Ultimate books was actually the 616 guy remote controlling a robot.  Then the two Spider-Men meet each other to stop him when a portal opens.  People will go insane if this actually happens.

Are these MCU movies getting better by the way? As I said, the first half of Captain American is my favorite so far and I‘d rate that as a 7/10 movie if iI‘m being generous.

Cap 1 is pretty meh. Cap 2 and 3 are legit, though.

[Great Rumbler]

Nah

I haven't seen Thor 2 or Avengers 2, tho

Civil War is on par with Age of Ultron

It's striking how low the stakes are compared to most of the later Marvel movies.

Reminds me of the 2005 Fantastic Four. I forget who, but some poster explained it as "Dr. Doom's villainous plan to disrupt traffic" and that's basically what Jeff Bridges was doing by the end. On that note, wish they'd found another villain so they could have kept Bridges around for longer.

I thought Civil War was rather average, Winter Soldier is probably the best non-space MCU movie.

GoTG and Thor Ragnarok are in the league of their own for me;  genuinely funny and creative films.

I'll co-sign that. Also really liked Homecoming. It was just delightful and adorable.

Just learned today they are making a solo Black Widow movie. Why? I can't think of one interesting comic storyline she was apart of. Back when I collected comics she was one of those characters they never knew what to do with so they plugged her into a bunch of different things that didn't work.

Not an expert by any means but she was okay a bit player in DareDevil. Born Again by Miller for instance.

Yeah always heard good things on that one. There's one about snipers and Tony Todd playing the villain which is pretty decent too.

Tony Todd is fucking awesome and the best part of Flash season 2.

Actually he's the best part of anything he's in.

It's never really been secret knowledge that Disney intends to milk the franchise from here until the end of time (I'd say until they go out of business, but the end of time itself is more likely to happen first.) But seeing them dated (before the finale of the current trilogy is even out) and alongside the rest of the lineup just hammers it home so clearly.

[Dickie Dee]

I mean they were talking about two additional trilogies around TLJ, with one be a new one headed up by Rian Johnson. If anything they're downsizing.

That's true...

That kind of hard course correction reminds me of WB/DC.

[Great Rumbler]

Might have decided to scale back on Star Wars because of TLJ backlash and Solo flopping, but them taking on 4 Avatar movies courtesy of the Fox acquisition might have factored in as well.

[Great Rumbler]

I expect Avatar not to make it to 5 movies and the whole thing get dropped after whatever one is currently being filmed or in post.

People thought OG Avatar was gonna be a flop, too.

2 and 3 are in post production. 4 and 5 haven't started filming and I'd be surprised if they ever do. It's been 10 fucking years since Avatar 1.

Bruh, these movies are gonna make $1 billion each just in China.

Maybe I will.

The Dacascos / Todd / Carrie Anne Moss film is Sabotage.

Cap 1 is better than it has a right to be. Joe Johnston is ehhhh in general, plus "it's an origin movie?"

I held off on watching it until right before Civil War just cause I thought WWII is boring, origin stories are boring, and yeah Cap is cool now post-Avengers but how cool was he before that?

Then I watch the movie and it's so well paced and acted that I kinda forgot all those complaints and just enjoyed the ride.

I liked it as well, the first MCU movie of the 5 I have watched that I genuinely liked. I didn‘t think it was great, but it was a solid popcorn flick.
As someone who didn‘t really know who Captain America is, I appreciated the origin story.

The last tron movie was so empty and soulless why even ask for another 

[BisMarckie]

Avatar was one of the most boring movies I have ever watched in the theater. Not as boring as The Village, but it was close.

I am also convinced that most people watched that movie because they were degenerates who were aroused by giant blue cat people.

Because I'm empty and soulless too.

[nudemacusers]

I think the last truly wretched big-budget film I saw was that last knight transformers movie. A total mess of brainless jumbled action sequences and editing cuts that are supposed to keep you amped but just makes the whole thing glossy sludge. Makes you appreciate how well stuff like infinity war/endgame (two recent examples I’ve seen) are structured.

Avatar 2 will feature furry mpreg and make 5 billion 💵
