Movies - General Discussion

Jonathan Majors was found guilty of assault and it sounds like Marvel dropped him. I guess they’re going to recast the role of Kang. I really liked him in the role but I heard a recording of him and the dude has a major ego issue.

The Iron Claw is really good. Great wrestling sequences, and strong performances across the board from all the main characters; but definitely not a feel good movie if that’s what you are looking for. Not surprising of course, but if you’re not familiar with the Von Erich story, beware. The one big flaw was the guy they had play Ric Flair, who gives one of the worst Ric Flair promos you’ll ever see. Though he makes up for it a bit with a post match locker room bit that is much better.

Also saw Godzilla Minus 1 and it was excellent. If you are a fan of the original classic, Japanese post war nuclear threat Godzilla movies, highly recommend. First hour is a bit heavy on the drama, but it pays off in the 2nd hour.

Wait!! That’s a wrestling movie and not a legal drama?

The big flaw was the guy who played Kerry ... I don't think so

But yeah both good movies

Wonka was really good and I’ve never been a fan of Roald Dahl

[Forsh]

Yeah it wasn't bad at all. I haven't watched many of that Chalamet guy's movies ... but it's clear he's a good actor

I generally dislike him as an actor but he was the best Wonka I’ve seen. Johnny Depp played some really cartoony weird version. This one was cool but still different. I really liked the movie

Chalamet is going to be one of the biggest acting stars over the next couple of decades. He’s a special talent.

“Oldboy” (2003) was added to Netflix 2 days ago. I dare someone else to watch it and go through the mind-blowing/ sick experience … 😆

Also saw Godzilla Minus 1 and it was excellent. If you are a fan of the original classic, Japanese post war nuclear threat Godzilla movies, highly recommend. First hour is a bit heavy on the drama, but it pays off in the 2nd hour.

Yeah I really want to see it. Heard some people say it’s the best movie of 2023.

[jaadam4]

I’ve only seen the Josh Borlin Old Boy and I’ve heard it pales in comparison.

Finally saw the latest Indiana Jones. I really wish they ended the franchise after The Last Crusade.

haven’t watched Godzilla Minus 1 yet, but I have been watching “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” on Apple TV. It takes place in the same “MonsterVerse” as the Godzilla movies. It’s pretty good.

I loved the Last crusade. I’ll never watch the latest piece of crap. I can’t believe Harrison Ford agreed to be in that crap from the script alone.

[froot loops]

I liked the last Indy movie, but it's hard to pick up a character 15 years after the last movie. I felt people made up their mind before they watched the movie.

Officially seeing Godzilla: Minus One on Friday. No color version.

Based on what everyone has said, totally anticipating it to be one of the best films of 2023.
