I saw Gisele/Gal Gadot's return coming in 2015/since 2015 when Furious 7 released. The moment I saw Statham's brother in the hospital bed at the beginning of 7, and then saw him moving around in 8, it had me questioning Gisele/Gal Gadot. If Statham's brother could survive (who had a worse "death" than Gisele/Gal Gadot), then Gisele/Gal Gadot could've survived. I'm kind of glad she is back though. I was REALLY starting to like her by the end of 6. I can give things a pass on Gisele returning. Same with Han. I also REALLY liked Han, and I felt killing him off originally in Tokyo Drift was one of the worst things the Fast & Furious movies did.
Brian didn't die though. Only Paul Walker died. So there shouldn't be anything wrong/out there on bringing him back, whether if it's through re-casting or CGI. But you must not follow movie news, especially Fast & Furious related because it was already confirmed back in 2022 sometime that Brian WILL return. They never specified if it's in 10 or 11, but looking at how 10 plays out, it might be 11. Brian is only in 10 through pictures and flashbacks/using previous footage from previous movies to recap the previous movies.
I watch them. You got a problem with it? Good. I really don't care. But I like all kinds of movies. I can get into something like Pulp Fiction or Forrest Gump as well as Fast & Furious. And maybe sometimes you just need fun and "dumb."
Don't go there. I like Fast & Furious movies, but I also enjoy stuff like Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction. And up until 2017 or 2018, I was watching the Oscars every year and trying to watch every nominated movie as I possibly could each awards season. I only stopped watching the Oscars/caring about them when Trump became president. When Trump became president, everything at the Oscars were a bunch of whiners and stuff and making it seem like it was the end of the world that Trump was president. They got all butthurt too that Trump told them he wasn't supporting Hollywood and told everyone in Hollywood to get real jobs. When Trump became president, that's when the Oscars REALLY got political and I said "eff this." Haven't watched the Oscars since. And although I stopped watching the Oscars, I know they are still political because of what is said on social media. That or you see articles or YouTube videos doing recaps and the title of the article or video mentions stuff about a very heavy political acceptance speech. But yeah. I enjoy all kinds of movies. Fast & Furious is just there when I want something fun and "dumb." I'm not there for something Oscar worthy. Fast & Furious is there when I need something to watch when I need a break from something Oscar worthy.
8 gets better the more I watch it. I think Star Wars should've taken notes on how to do an 8th movie. 9 wasn't that great though, and my main issues had nothing to do with the action. Most of my issues were not related to the action scenes. But it would be best to still watch 9. 9 introduced Cena's character and brought back another character. Plus one character goes MIA. So if you go 8 and then 10, you'll be asking "who is this character?", "where did this character go?", and "how did they return?" If you saw 9, you wouldn't be asking those questions.
I'm seeing it opening day/night at 9pm EST. I have to see a later showing because of everything going on that day, especially work schedules for those I'm going with. Earliest showing we can go is 9pm EST. And I live in a small town too. I don't live somewhere that has a movie theater doing a new showing every 5-10 minutes. The movie theater in my town only has 8 screens too, and is more locally owned than something like AMC. But I'll be there opening day/night.
I can confirm she is in the movie. I skimmed through a CAM of the movie and saw the ending to the movie. The shot at 1:58 in the link/YouTube is from Fast & Furious 10 and not another Gal Gadot movie (since sometimes YouTube videos like the one the link is to will use footage/photos from other movies of the actor or actress).
For those wondering how she survived, I think it's pretty easy to figure out and I want to say my theory is correct. Cipher/Charlize Theron saved her. Statham said in 8 that he was working with Cipher through the events of 7. So if you read between the lines, Cipher recovered Statham's brother (probably to further convince him to work with her) and put him in the hospital bed, and then along the way, she noticed Gal Gadot/Gisele and recovered her body and revived her. Gal/Gisele is seen operating or at least in charge of the submarine that is there to pick up Cipher and Letty. The sub belongs to Cipher. So Cipher had to have saved her/revived her. And Cipher probably recovered her and Statham's brother offscreen during the aftermath of the final battle/fight of 6. I'm thinking while the cameras were focusing on the good guys in 6 during the final battle aftermath, Cipher and some men snuck in there and recovered Gisele and Statham's brother. Plus with the destroyed plane and all the fire, no one could see Cipher and her crew off in the distance recovering Gisele and Statham's brother.
But Gal Gadot IS back and still alive. All those reports back in like December 2022 were correct.
That one guy working with Brie Larson (I think his name is Aimes) doesn't really like Dom and the others. So he is going after them. That's what I got from summaries, one of the trailers (the 4+ minute one for sure), and a featurette/behind the scenes clip. So he probably caught her and sent her off to jail/prison.
You serious? You want Brian, Mia, and Dom's FULL journey to Rio too? Or how about how they got out of Rio once they got the money in Fast Five? You want to see them count out the money too and divide it evenly? They showed enough on getting Dom off the bus. They didn't need to show every single detail. There was this thing invented a long time ago called using your imagination/head/brain/etc. Do you need your hand held that badly to figure out how they got Dom completely off the bus?
I bet you are one of those too that complained that we didn't get to see how Bruce got back into Gotham in The Dark Knight Rises. Use your imagination. I didn't need another 15-30 minutes to watch Bruce's journey back into Gotham. He is resourceful and probably knows how to walk on ice too. So, I don't need the same thing with anything in the Fast & Furious movies. They showed enough and my imagination can fill in the blanks.
I'm like Ramboraph4life (on YouTube). The opening is the worst part of the movie. The whole Busta Rhymes stuff is the better part of the movie. He and I enjoy the Busta Rhymes stuff more than the opening stuff with Jamie Lee Curtis.
For me, I'd say Halloween 5 or the Rob Zombie movies are the worst. Depends on if we are including the Rob Zombie movies or not. I know some will say all Halloween movies except Rob Zombie movies when ranking the Halloween movies. So Halloween 5 would be last unless we are including the Rob Zombie movies. Then probably Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 would be last since I can watch 2007 more than the sequel. But I enjoy Resurrection. I find it a fun movie. I'd put it higher than Halloween 5 because Halloween 5 feels like its never going to end. The movie feels like a 3-4 hour movie, although it's the same runtime as a majority of the Halloween movies. But Resurrection flies by for me. Also, rap is one of my favorite genres, so I do like Busta Rhymes/can tolerate him in the movie. It's possible there is some biased opinion in there. But how often is there a final guy in a slasher movie (well, Resurrection has a final girl too), a rapper that lives (normally they kill off rappers in slasher movies), and a black guy that makes it out in the end? Busta Rhymes is all three of those in one, and I liked they changed it up a little instead of a sole survivor that is a female aka final girl. Oh, I'm not black by the way. So I don't like Resurrection because of representation and a person of my skin color lives for once. I'm a mix of white and Native American, so don't bother with the "because you are black" argument.
But I find Resurrection fun and entertaining. More entertaining and stuff than Halloween 5. Well, I can still watch Halloween 5, but I have to prepare for a much slower paced Halloween movie, and one that is less eventful. I'd say Resurrection has better kills/deaths than Halloween 5 too. It's definitely not the worst. For me, the worst goes to Halloween 5 or the Rob Zombie movies. Resurrection does have issues though. I'm not saying it's a perfect movie, and it's not my favorite Halloween movie. I'm just saying I like it overall.
It was no long 3 hours. I saw the movie in the theater. To me, it felt like it was 40-50 minutes shorter than what it really was. The only time I could question stuff was between the 1 hour mark and the 2 hour mark, especially when it got to all the stuff between Jake's son and the whale. That whole bonding thing kind of slowed down the pacing. I wouldn't say boring, but after a while it was like "Okay, James Cameron, I get it. Can we move on now? You've spent enough time on this." But other than that, the movie fly by. The first hour goes by fast and then the last 45-60 minutes is pretty much all action. But I've watched movies that are 80 or 90 minutes that felt longer than Avatar 2, and Avatar 2 is double their runtime. It's okay to dislike a movie, but I didn't think it was a long movie.
Well, they must have fans. They've been around since 2001 from what I read. I actually never heard of them until their Halfway To Halloween Special. And I saw the special on F2Movies. If it was never posted on that site, I still probably would've been oblivious to them. But that Halfway To Halloween Special didn't make me a fan. Actually, "the alphabet" stuff wasn't even the problem with the Halloween Special. It was everything else. I'm pretty neutral on "alphabet stuff." Just don't shoehorn it in. I went and saw the Elton John biopic movie (Rocketman) in theaters and it was decent. Plus I like Venus and the whole Tig and Venus stuff in the last season or two of Sons Of Anarchy. So I can accept "alphabet stuff" in movies or TV shows. But I have no interest in watching any other thing with them in it, especially if they are starring in it and have their names attached to the title. I feel it's just going to be terrible writing and terrible jokes. It has nothing to do with the drag stuff.
Nope. This movie is god awful. I only finished the movie for bragging rights/to say I watched it. They do a terrible job using the NYC setting. Other than the subway scene, it looks like any other town/city to me. Shoot, I could go around my small ass town and find buildings, streets/neighborhoods, alleys, restaurants, convenient stores, etc. (except a subway station) similar to the ones in the movie. Nothing really says NYC at all in this movie and you kind of forget after. I didn't see a difference between NYC and Woodsboro after a while. Also, ALL characters (except Gale and Kirby) are annoying and stuff and none of them I could root for. I REALLY don't get the love for Jenna Boretega either. She was REALLY annoying in the movie and complained/whine the whole time. The only time I came close to liking her at all or the only time she made me laugh was when she punched Gale since Gale was ready for the main girl to punch her but didn't see Jenna coming. Gale has never been double teamed like that before. Usually it's just one-on-one when she gets hit/punched. The main girl isn't all that interesting either. The killers are predictable. That rules scene pretty much gives it away. Just pay attention to who gets the most offended/defensive in that scene. WAY too many references/easter eggs to previous movies (if I want to take a walk down Memory Lane, I'll go re-watch the previous movies, I don't need a new movie to recap shit). The kills are nothing special and I've seen before. Either in previous movies or other horror movies. Also, everyone that puts on the Ghosfface costume has to do this whole rapid stab thing. Gore is nothing special either. I've seen gorier movies (shoot, Halloween 2018, Kills, and Ends were all gorier). Plus I want to say previous Scream movies were gorier. Oh and then the movie is pretty much a remake of Scream 2 (my favorite Scream sequel). So definitely "eff this movie" for pretty much remaking Scream 2. It definitely doesn't get better.
The rules scene. Just pay attention to who got the most offended and became the most defensive in that scene. Plus the killers did everything they could to convince everyone to question everyone else in that scene. Everyone that wasn't the killer was pretty calm and stuff during the whole scene.
I'm glad I'm only about 1.5 to 2 years older than her (she's even slightly older than my younger sister, who was born the same year as Emma). And when you factor in high school, she probably could've been a junior when I was a senior. At the most, she would've been a sophomore and in my younger sister's grade if she was too young for junior year. Not sure what the cut off is for age. Normally, they go by DOB, but I don't know what the cut off is/was. And when I was in high school, all four years it was pretty common for seniors and freshman to date and stuff. So I don't see why it would be wrong for me to like Emma when we are closer than a freshman and senior dating. Depending on stuff, it would've been a senior and junior dating, or a senior and sophomore dating. Actually, when I was in 8th grade, quite a few girls in my class/grade were dating seniors (small town, so people know each other and stuff, they possibly could've been neighbors too). So with all that, I felt it was always okay for me to like her and stuff. Well, I did hit a rough time when I turned 18 to about when I was 20 or 21. From 18 to about 21, I was sort of considered a pedo for liking her since she wasn't 18 yet. Well, according to people on the internet. Everyone else was like "I don't see the problem." My parents are 12 years apart in age too, so that means the age gap between me and Emma should've been fine. Nowadays, I don't really care for Emma. I kind of moved on. It's not because of age though and her getting older. It's just she kind of disappeared or picks really terrible movies to star in, and seems like a terrible person in real life. Her ass has aged well over time though. It's looked a lot better in the last 5 years or so than it did in the last 2-3 Harry Potter movies or when she was in her early 20's. But other than her ass, I kind of moved on from her. Maybe if she was more in the spotlight, picked better movies, and/or changed her real life attitude, I'd be more interested.
Nope. I read an article on Facebook around April 10th-13th that said she is giving the reboot TV show a middle finger. Mainly because J.K. is involved with it. As long as J.K. is involved with the reboot, Emma wants nothing to do with it.
Don't worry about IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes or whatever else. If you are interested in seeing it, go see it. Ant-Man 3 got destroyed, but I still saw it and liked it. Not my favorite MCU/Marvel/superhero movie, but I still liked it overall. Plus I disagree with IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes all the time. And it's gone both ways. I disagreed with a high percentage/star rating, or disagreed with a low percentage/star rating. And I don't trust early reviews and stuff since they are praising it and stuff because they got to see it early. So giving it 9's and 10's is because they are on some post-movie high, or maybe it's their first horror movie ever or they don't watch horror that much and are easily impressed and stuff. Kind of like M3GAN. I've actually seen/read people say that M3GAN is the first of its kind and there is no movie like it, but Child's Play/Chucky existed before M3GAN, and M3GAN is pretty much a crappy remake of the Child's Play remake. Plus there is a movie called Dolly Dearest. That did a female killer doll as well and first. By like 30 years. I disagree with the new Evil Dead. I don't get why people are loving it except for all possibilities I just mentioned. From watching the trailers to the new Evil Dead, it doesn't scream Evil Dead to me. Just looks like any other horror movie of the last 5-10 years. Until the title popped up, I thought I was watching a trailer to the next The Conjuring (main movies or spinoffs), or another Insidious movie, or just any haunted house movie. And everything I've seen from just the trailers, I've seen all that stuff in other horror movies. Just like The Conjuring and Insidious. To me, the new Evil Dead just seems like they made a random haunted house/possession movie and slapped "Evil Dead" on it. So yeah. Don't bother with IMDB or RT if you are already interested in the movie.
More diverse? Looks like someone hasn't watched the show. Sure, the two leads are white, but everyone else is diverse. Even when we are talking about characters that are only around for one episode (because of Mulder and Scully constantly going to different towns/cities and states, especially for the monster of the week episodes). Plus Scully might be white, but she is a complete badass at times. She may not seem like it, but when Mulder is around, she can be tough and can step up on the investigation. She's not someone you want to mess with or upset. And if she has to return to you to get further information out of you, especially if you lied, watch out. She is someone you better cooperate with the first time. I started watching The X-Files back in December 2022 (maybe after Christmas) or early January 2023, currently on Season 4 at the time of this comment being written, and there were a few times that I was rooting for Scully. Plus calling her a badass or someone to not f'k with. She is also good at (figuratively) knocking some sense into Mulder and a few other male characters. She has definitely become one of my favorite female characters. Oh and she can carry the plot/a scene/maybe even the whole episode when Mulder isn't around/present. She is complete badass. Also, there are times where I'm scratching my head because I can't decided if I like Mulder or Scully more. I'd say that's a pretty good female character when something like that happens. But yeah. The X-Files is diverse enough. Sorry that the two leads are white. Get over it.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope. He hasn't become superhuman. He is able to survive all that, but it's simply getting shot 2-3 times that kills him. Bunch of BS and what a joke. He dies like that? GTFO!!!
Yeah. Not happening. John Wick is dead. Plus Keanu Reeves already confirmed in a new interview that they are done with the John Wick movies. The director feels he can't top the fourth movie, the director and Keanu want to move on to other projects and are saying goodbye to the John Wick character, and Keanu is getting up there in age. Keanu realized how demanding the fourth movie was and he doesn't want to put his body through that again. So we are just getting the four movies and John Wick is permanently dead. Also, the director said John can't keep going on with how many people he killed over a dog (which is complete stupid logic since a lot of 80's and 90's action movies, the hero kills a lot of people over something ridiculously small, but they don't die in the end or anything, they get a happy ending, shoot Liam Neeson in Taken should've died as well with all the people he didn't have to kill but did anyway). So it was time to kill off the character and be done with the John Wick movies.
I'm starting to hate this logic now where the good guy can't kill people, and if they do, they need to die like everyone they killed. Bunch of BS. Plus this just shows how pussified moviegoers are getting since they agree with the logic and want to see it more and more. With all this logic and me being a writer myself, I think all my main characters/protagonists I create are going to kill people. They aren't going to have Batman's no-kill rule, which is losing its wow factor since EVERY hero needs that rule. And I'm going to do it to give an F.U./middle finger to where we stand now on good vs. evil logic. I'm tired of everyone using that rule. That's part of why Batman was interesting. He didn't kill people. He also had a good reason too. Now everyone is applying it to all heroes for "just because" reasons and because Batman is doing it instead of creating a good/well thought out reason. Let Batman be unique.
