Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

[walkingBred]

"Nobody"
John Wick vibes. Fight and action scenes were surprising. Surpassed what I imagined. Bus scene was flames. Saul Goodman delivered. Can't believe he's an action star now He plays his Character so convincingly. Comedy was on point and on time. Worth the watch.

I guess MK is up next

The way Cole could have been better would be if he wasn’t in the movie at all. Last time MK needed was some audience surrogate when there’s so many characters to focus on already.

mans power was literal plot armor

I'm saying if they wanted a "new" character as their focus that the fans didn't know who he was they could really do their own thing continuity wise and make Cole (change name obviously) Kung Jin, Fujin (a god reincarnated), or something. Something that would surprise fans like oh he was that guy the entire time?

So I was at work earlier when you guys were talking about thinking that Raiden was Cole's father, that whole conversation. I knew there was something very early in the movie that didn't allow me to even think that, and it turns out it's literally the opening scene:

- foe

It wasn't thinking Raiden was the father. It was thinking Hanzo/Scorpion was his father but he is Cole's ancestor. I just thought Raiden directly took his son and somehow time traveled to the present.

I definitely mistyped Raiden. I knew you guys were talking about Scorpion, hence the opening screen capture. I knew there was something that prevented me from thinking that, and it was the 1617.

-foe

I definitely missed that text with the year but I did figure it was in the past.

 

[a-friend]

It was cool.

 

[T0INE]

The MK movie was alright.

Not a fan of this Cole dude.

You have all these iconic characters and you introduce this random jobber as the focal point of the movie?

Liu Kang didn't (almost) die for this.

Oscars tonight. Any prediction? Who do you want to win?

 

[Master Zik]

Damn Oscars crept up on me quicker than usual.

I aint even make an attempt to watch all the movies for the best actors, actresses, film, adapted and original screenplay, etc.



Coming 2 America 4.5/8

Wasn't as bad as ppl said but it sure wasn't a worthy sequel to the classic. Lots of good cameos.

One Night In Miami 5.3/8

This was cool. Strange though. Movie wasn't quite uplifting or had a clear message. Half the movie has this dreaded impending doom of Malcolm X's demise and other half is X calling out Sam Cooke for not using his music to inspire the ppl.

And it would have a good enough ending with Cooke's A Change Gon Come but I made the mistake of looking up Cooke and then I found out when and how he died Just made the entire movie way more depressing.

SActress: none deserve it in this category

side discussion: The House That Jack Built is easily one of the best films I’ve seen in the last 5 years. I connect with it on every level.

I have a huge fascination with serial killers. And not just their crimes, but understanding their thought processes. With the narrations, this gives more insight into the killers mindset and motives than any other film.

so many layers to this movie, I won’t even begin to break down all the different meanings. I’ll just say, I’m very familiar with the 9 circles of Dante’s inferno and the story of divine comedy. Without going into all that boring stuff, I’ll keep it simple. This movie SLAPS. Don’t know how it took me so long to see it.
