Proud Mary was poorly marketed. Hollywood racism is very real. But also, Proud Mary is a bad movie.

but the poor marketing is the racism

and it wasnt as bad as any other movie thats come out recently

i liked it

watched thor ragnarok and was almost a little peeved at how much comedy was in there except that the humor was good and not corny. korg saying "oh my god the hammer pulled you off?!"
end battle was good. beautiful use of led zepplin's immigrant song!

 

[mastamind033]

Definitely one of the best MCU films

As far as RT critic scores I don't really trust them especially when the audience score is much better. Look at Den of Thieves, critics avg is 40% while audience is at 73%. I really enjoyed the movie personally. Another movie like this with an even bigger discrepancy is Bright which I thought was a good watch too.

Critics seem to have an agenda or criteria and if it doesn't fit they automatically pan the film instead of looking at it for what it is.

I take them with a grain of salt too. But 24% is pretty bad

Den of thieves was entertaining. A bit too long

In the trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s iPhone-shot movie Unsane, texting leads straight to the insane asylum

Burying the lead.

He shot an entire movie with an iPhone?

Soderbergh is such a risky dude

i liked the scene on the train with the black guy bringing him to tears

Just finished 3 billboards. Hard to rate. On the one hand, I didn't find it entertaining or even interesting. I didn't agree with any of the characters actions, didn't think there was anything special about the cinematography, and didn't really feel any emotion from the story being told.

On the other hand, my god the acting was on point. It almost felt like the entire script was improv; no memorized dialogue, just making it all up as they went.

Spoiler

I can see how it was made to seem like a realistic view of what rural Missouri is probably like but damn the way the law was broken so many times with no repercussions really took me out of it. McDormand beats up some high schoolers and NOTHING happens. Rockwells character almost kills the dude he threw out the window, even punched dudes girl in the face and nothing happens.

I guess what I'm getting at is that I hated how the movie ended with no clean catch of her daughters killer and no true character redemption story for the "bad cop." I feel like if the rest of the movie was gonna be so absurd, why not give us a good fictional Hollywood ending as well? Outstanding acting, original story, but not Best Picture by a longshot. 5.7/8

"oh my god the hammer pulled you off?!"

Dude was hilarious "you rode the hammer."

Definitely one of the best MCU films

Looking at the new Antman trailer might be giving it a run for funniest.

Not serious right? Top Gun2.

[JustBlaze.]

Trash. I want no parts of a 'Martin' reboot especially without Tommy.

 

[keko jones]

I think movies have gotten so bad, that anything remotely good happens, the movie is praised. Regardless of quality, acting or plot.

good lookin out. forgot about that movie. gonna watch it soon. right after i finish mindhunter.

Top Gun was a huge fluke to turn out to be as successful as it became. Action movies have come so far since then. This will fail miserably.

On a related note: Dundee looks pretty good

Only humor I didn't like was when Thor was hanging from the chain and spinning around while Surtur was talking. Otherwise, movie was hilarious and all the jokes were timed well.

 

[servechilled81]

whenever I see a list of upcoming movies, like 90% of the list
is either, prequel, sequel, remake, part of a series. I hate it
