Yuck
 
I was into it for the first 20ish mins. Big lore dump, various factions, really bad (in an endearing way) special effects, weird and slightly gross creature designs (again, not in a bad way). But the acting was awful and as someone that didn’t read the book, it was very hard to follow the plot and know what was going on.

Everyone raving in here about Dune: Part Two visuals so I wanted to see for myself. But starting from the very beginning. It can only go up from here but Dune [1984] was not a good time.
 
I never watched Euphoria but that schedule sounds absurd

Saw Ghostbusters Frozen Empire today... it was fine. It was a good enough action/adventure/ghost movie but it really didn't connect with me beyond that and there were some nice Ghostbusters moments but not enough. It really was a sequel to the last one, which is fine, but it was a very forgettable movie so this one felt kind of dull because of it.

It also wasn't funny enough to be a Ghosbuters movie to me. I know part of that was due to legendary actors and great writing, but it was just okay. Not worth a trip to the theater unless you have a movie pass.

This didn’t feel like a movie. It felt like a long episode of a TV show. No one has enough of an arc or character change.

From reddit and that nailed it. It really didn't feel like enough happened to be a good movie. It felt like a part of a mini series. It also missed what makes Ghostbusters fun and exciting.. catching ghosts and adventures. It played more as a big epic action movie but that's not what it should have been.
 
I wonder how many actors could hold it down if **** got real due to the types of training they've had for roles over the years.
 
I can only assume the shoot is 25 weeks to accommodate the top actors in the cast busy schedules and other commitments.

No way it takes 25 weeks to shoot 6 episodes. You could film two 12 ep seasons in that time.
 
The Accountant is an oddly good movie.

No it's an interesting movie with some good parts. Clearly feels like it's setting up for sequels or a series. The whole FBI plot was important but also not really important. Affleck played a phenomenal Hitman assassin Jason Bourne type dude.

And the ending was kind of obvious. But that's also okay. I don't know... I just finished it and I think I really really like this movie?
 
Finished RoadHouse last night and I enjoyed it. Jake G was great as Dalton - had a good combination of physicalits for the fighting and wit that made sense. I can’t work out why they trashed his vintage car that he liked so early though - it would make more sense for that to come later.

Conor McGregor was surprisingly good too. I can’t imagine he has much more range than playing an Irish psycho but it worked for the part.
