The Movie Thread: Wait? Not Everything is Marvel or DC!?

[RSG3]

@Darc_RequiemBro my favorite was the years of "Tokyo Drift is shit!" Only to see those same goobers lose it when Han came back. 

 

Clowns lol. I love Tokyo Drift. That movie really found the franchise a voice.

Tokyo Drift was fun. The only thing that really bugged me was them dropping a Skyline V6 into a Mustang. That just seemed wrong.

I liked it because it made the Stang like the MC. Two cultures coming together to become something better. Cheesy read but I still like it. 

 

It also helps it's not just any Mustang, it's a dark green CJ9, the Mustang Steve McQueen drove in Bullet.

In the theatre when I watched the movie you could tell there was hit split between Detroit Iron heads and Import heads. Throughout the movie you'd hear a groan from one group or the other. Except for them dropping the V6 into the Mustang. Everyone groaned at that. It was kinda funny 🤣

It's his own damn fault. He got a big head early on. They wanted to make xXx a franchise but, like with the original Fast & Furious 2, Vin got a big head. That's why they had Ice Cube in the sequel. He tried to pull off another Fast & Furious like revival with the third xXx film but by then the ship had sailed. He wasn't the new potential action star lead anymore, he was just the old "family" man from the Fast franchise.  Dude had a chance to be the highest paid star in Hollywood but got in his own way.  He had the chance to be in two bankable franchises in his prime his ego got the best of him.

 

It's crazy that he ran off Justin Lin. IMO Lin and Paul Walker were the glue holding that franchise together. The situation with Paul Walker can't be helped. Lin put together an, IMO underrated entry, in the franchise in Tokyo Drift. It captured the charm of the original movie with a new setting and new type of racing. The popularity of Han is a testament to that.

Mai what you’re saying is he needs to bring back Riddick

We all know that all that is left to do is for Vin Diesel to do a sequel to The Pacifier. 😂

The movie was pretty much has a similar parallel to "The Batman"; vengeance is a thing, but there's more. 

 

Pretty solid analysis of movie posters over time

That's the Insightful reaction. It is a positive one man. The only real negative reaction is the Thumbs Down. You okay over there?

As far as I remember, at least here in Latin America, it has been a joke since I was a kid that there was some homoerotic undertones between the chars 🤣

[RSG3]

There have been tons of homoerotic readings of Top Gun. It's an example of how men aren't even allowed to be close friends with other men without their manhood being called into question.

I don't get the logic of the Mission Impossible trailer being released now when the release date is more then 12 months out.

This was a teaser.. Hes always done teasers long ways out. Top gun teaser was also like a year or so ago. Tom likes to hype up and get people talkin.

controversial film statement of the day:

the raid 2 is a better film than the raid 1. but the raid 1 had more a cultural impact as well helped redefine the genre

[OPTIMUS124]

Saw Top Gun: Maverick

 

I am going to try not to fan-gush over this one, but Tom Cruise was right. The best way to see this movie is on the big screen. It's the first movie in a while where it's the right mix of nostalgia with a sensible story to justify it's existence. It closes the loop on all things in the best way possible. If anything, it's a technical achievement in filmmaking. 

 

This is the movie to get people back into the theater. Definitely recommend seeing this one. 

[J-ride]

We have a special screen at my local theater that is 70 feet.  I'm hoping to catch Top Gun this weekend at one of the showings.  So far the best thing I have seen on that giant screen was Ford vs Ferrari, and I'm pretty hype for Top Gun on that giant screen.

I bought that movie and still haven't watched it yet. 

[J-ride]

Honestly it was a pretty solid movie.  Dameon was ok, but Bale stole every scene.  The sound engineering in that movie is FIRE, I really recommend watching it with surround sound.

Everything everywhere all at once was a fucking trip. Feel like I'm coming down off an acid trip.

Lol it was a movie about generational trauma that was disguised as a weirdo martial arts movie. It got me good.

Ghostbusters Afterlife sequel to be released on Dec. 20,2023.

[DangerousJ]

I wasn't planning to , but I saw Jurassic Park 6 and Top Gun Maverick in India.

They make you go through a metal detector there.

 

JP 6 - Good action sequences and it was cool seeing the new cast interacting with Pratt/Howard.

Villain was lame and the dinos arent really the focus. The plot point of the dinos just living in the general populace isnt really addressed.

 

6/10

 

Top Gun Maverick: I have not seen the original, but I was pleasantly surprised by TGM.

Great flight sequences and acting by Miles Teller/Cruise/Hamm. 

I understood the backstory despite not seeing the og film.

 

8.5/10

[Darc_Requiem]

I really need to get off my ass and see Top Gun Maverick.

[KimuraLOX]

Do it before its out of theaters, which might be soon. See it on as big a screen as possible.

You clearly don't have the need for speed. . . 

 

Best movie experience I've had in a long time. Saw the movie for the third time Tuesday. Two of those were in 4DX. 

 

If you can see it in 4DX, definitely the way to go.

Agreed. This is a must-see in the theaters.

The OG may be one of the few 80s movies that you can watch today and still works. Having said that, since you have already seen the second movie, it'll make the first movie seem like trash.
