7/10 Not a Classic, but Very Good Big Screen entertainment, that does continue the story quite nicely really.
Denzil was pretty good, and his character does get interesting for sure...but I am surprised at the calls for him to get an Oscar (best supporting), I don't think it was ana amazing performance, just pretty good.
It's up in YouTube at the moment too.
Totally agree, and with the Thread title.
I thought it was amazing for the first 45 minutes, the style of it was very impressive (even the nods to other directors was done nicely) but then it just kept doing the same thing for the middle hour or so, I nearly gave up on it, the ending was good though.
I might have watched it in a similar way... If so the best parts were the funny Indian adverts that popped up occasionally
They should rescind Joaquin's Oscar for the first movie for "false claims" that he was playing the Joker.
I'm 50, I honestly can't remember such a bad reaction from such a large majority to such a highly anticipated movie.
I remember the reaction to some Shamalanadingdong movies being very disappointing, but the anticipation levels were nowhere near as high, for example.
Good points above about LGBTQ+ characters being hinted at to various levels in Hitchcock's movies.
I found the scene in Dial M really funny, really caught me off guard and I burst out laughing ...like a Carry On Movie or 1970s sitcom type of UK joke. Yes it was clearly a joke about looking gay with a little handbag hanging off his wrist.... But also some truth in that homosexuality was illegal at that time in the UK, to me Hitchcock was actually making a joke about the stupidity of that law, that's how it felt to me.
I had not thought about the Frenzy guy possibly being gay ('foppish dandy') before, as he seemed more of a cockney Jack the Lad type to me but it's made me think about him using Ties as his weapon... Women barely wore ties, Men did.... Maybe it was him turning the women into men in his fantasy, etc
Rest In Peace the Great James Earl Jones
I have seen it now.
Sadly it is indeed rubbish.
If it is the basis for a new "Glass" like world, the Lady Raven maybe a Superhero, and if so her weaknesses will be Asthma, and Doing Really Stupid Things Around A Serial Killer.
He was always going on about being Welsh... probably his Green Green ass of home.
