TLDR?
Never could have imagined that there would be an alternate cut and that it was released officially!

he's .. very intense? committed? full of emotion?Another stray thought: Why does everyone rave about Forest Whitaker's acting ?
Obviously he settled for lesser pay. Also, they did not expect Rogue One to be a hit I guess. The movie was in such serious trouble that another director needed to be brought in. Glad they did. One of the very rare cases where Disney made the right choice.but I still am not a fan of Diego Luna.
1. i did not know this rule existed@DigDog Do you think the Director's Guild rule of "director's name can only be attached to a movie if he shot 40% of it" has been abused in some movie? Because I don't see how some scummy studio wouldn't pay one director 40% of the pay and get the rest of the movie directed by promising up and coming directors but pay them even less.
Hi Mayne!watching the new Apple+ series... The Studio. Very funny in a cringe sort of way...it helps to be stoned too.
I thought hers was the best performance in the movie. She made me chuckle a lot which is a rare occurrence for me during a movie. Ella Purnell got featured in pretty nasty memes (at least one I saw myself) about being totally useless in this movie. It was so bad that I think she would've quit acting if she had seen enough of them. Good thing her career picked up good with Fallout. The director purposely went for a campy style I think so it's just a movie meant for people who want to kill some time. Netflix likes commissioning movies of this nature. I guess the number of views for such movies tell them that THAT is what their audience prefers.And the fuckin worst part was the Chopper pilot played by Tig Notaro. What a over the top shit performance that did not match the tone. Come to find out she was subbed in and full green screened edited in.
i have TTSS (the new version) queued up, i guess i will throw in Most Wanted as well.Hey @DigDog I would wager a guess you've seen both Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and also A Most Wanted Man - any preference between the two?
Captain America : Brave new world. 5/10
Was an oke movie. Captain America was a bit too much overpowered for a human being compared to the foes he is up against.
If it would have been Steve Rogers, it would make sense with being a super soldier and all.
But this captain America only has his flight suit and his training.
What i also do not understand, is that in the Marvel movie verse, No one has ever heard of aramid fibers like kevlar based clothing or Dyneema Fibers , all fibers used to make protective clothing against for example knife attacks.
Captain America wears absolutely no clothing that can prevent him from being cut with a knife or flying sharp debris. He gets seriously cut in the movie multiple times with a knife or debris.
I know it is fantasy and science fiction but it would be nice if the writers opt that into the stories of movies still to come. A bruise fits much more better than a knife cut.
Ballistic impacts are also reduced to bruises while wearing a suit also made of aramid fibers.
Everything said above and I had to struggle to even give it a 5.
Please, please, please no more angry Harrison Ford. OK when he was red or being calm but over the top screen chewing when trying to be forceful or angry.
Was a bigger fan of Captain America in the comic books than in the movies. Thought maybe it was just my dislike for Chris Evans but Andrew Mackie doesnt help much. Havent cared much for him either since the second season of Altered Carbon.
Shira Hass was interesting but strange but thats OK and Giancarlo Esposito didnt seem anything like his normal self. Just phoned it in.
All this is JMHO.
The movie was a bit over the top, old guys that have the strength and stamina and speed of young athletic men.
Too bad they did not hire the actor( William Hurt) that was General Ross in the incredible Hulk (2008) movie.
The first captain America movie was a pretty good one. Different ambiance.
And a small role in the movie for : "The leader" .
Woops. That would be a solid reason to not hire him. Even with a stand in and computer graphics. Would not fit and would not be honourable.err, William Hurt died in 2022.
such a defeatist attitude. He's just dead, it doesn't mean he can't star in a new film, jeez.err, William Hurt died in 2022.
Plenty of living actors, why are you fixated on a dead one?such a defeatist attitude. He's just dead, it doesn't mean he can't star in a new film, jeez.
