This is my favorite sit-com of all time. I can't really rank the season. I love them all form the begging to end. Maybe the last one was a little weaker than the ones before but the first sic season are all equally good in my opinion.
The way I understood is this.
Dr. Strange saw the future and gave up the Time Stone for that reason before everyone got erased. So he knew what was going to happen. That's what he told Peter. So in fact, not everybody knew, only Strange did and he mobilized the forces to face Thanos. They were all gone and after Hulk brought them back Strange told all of them what is going on and they fought Thanos.
Ironically for me, it was The African Queen. In my opinion, Bogart was great in it and he deserved the Oscar but the movie just didn't do it for me. There were so many over top melodramatic moments and I am not particularly fond of Katherine Hepburn, although she was an outstanding actress.
You're wrong about that. I liked parts 2 and 3. At least we got to see Rambo in action and doing his thing. But part 4 was bad and this movie is one of the worst I have seen in recent years.
There was almost no Rambo in there. The set up took an hour and the last sequence while creative was nothing new or spectacular. There were so many implausible scenes in the movie I just wanted to walk out. Rambo is being followed and doesn't notice??? That ain't gonna happen. And then he walks into the bag guys layer without any planing or recon??? Rambo would never do that and the only reason for the journalist woman to be in the movie was to save Rambo after he gets beaten up.
The script was bad, so was the execution.
Stallone has proven he can act but this movie is not it. I think since he created Rocky he feels very close to the character while Rambo wasn't his creation so it's just another role.
However, I do hope he makes another one just to give the character the sendoff it deserves.
Wasn't that exactly the point??? To play with age and makeup??? When he is seven he is old, since he ages backwards it makes total sense ;)
Brad Pitt as Benjamin Button. It won the Oscar and it deserved it ;)
That is the only point of the review I don't agree with. I have read many reviews for the movie and none of them mentioned a possible political motive. I think Stallone needed some bad guys and Russians or Germans weren't plausible so he chose Mexicans.
Please elaborate ;)
I actually totally agree with the reviewer. I mean the movie is awful. The first hour nothing is happening, then we get fifteen minutes of carnage and a montage of Rambo's greatest hits.
I mean common the movie was so un-Rambo-like it's not even funny. He is followed by the journalist and doesn't notice??? (like Rambo would not notice being followed). He walks into the bad guys compound without planning or preparing? Seriously, that is so implausible for the character.
What's even more frustrating is that there is no character development. I mean for a movie about Rambo you would think they would maybe show how he developed. Instead, we get these flashes of PTSD that have no bearing whatsoever on the plot. The whole tunnel system has no use except to make the ending plausible and honesty since when is Rambo such a chatty betty??? The beauty of the character always was that he didn't talk, that's what made the character plausible and unique.
This whole movie is really awful and I really hope they come back with another one if only give John Rambo an honorable send-off.
Why would she above this kind of movie??? It's a very good comedy. I'm glad she is taking roles like this and I don't think Rogen had anything to do with it. She hasn't been in a bad movie for some time now which prooves to me she chooses her roles carefully.
There is literally not a single moment that I hated in the movie.
We got to see new space ships, new Jedi abilities, cool fights, and fascinating planets. The story was exciting and the new creatures we got to see where refreshing. The introduction of the new characters actually also made for a nice change of pace and set up a lot of possibilities for J.J. Abrahams.
I mean what's not to love. Great visual effects, exciting storytelling and a perfect connection to the original movies made this quite a thrilling ride.
Other than TFA the movie wasn't a kind of reboot of anything and I am really looking forward to what comes next this year ;)
You are not seriously comparing Seth Rogen to Adam Sandler, are you???
Rogen would never take the roles Sandler did. He actually has enough pride to make the best out of his roles. Long Shot proves that and so does Good Boys. Sure he didn't act in that one but it's not the only example of him as a producer and director.
Sandler makes about six to seven movies a year, all of which are horrible and would never sell tickets. Maybe once every three years he actually is a good movie and shows his skill as an actor. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying he can't act, he has proven that he can, but at this point, no one takes him seriously anymore.
Frankly, I think the movie is quite entertaining. Both leads do a solid job and Rogen and Theron have good chemistry. The topic is interesting and it's nice to see Rogen do sth different for a change. This isn't the type goofball, slapstick comedy he usually does, it's a charming story about people and politics that is actually told in a clever and entertaining way.
As for Theron, she has been in high demand for years now and rightfully so. She is a very good actress and I like that she takes on different roles in different genres. Rogen certainly has developed as a filmmaker and while this is a comedy, I have to say he really nailed the serious scenes, too.
I live in a small cozy town in Germany. Fo my studies I had to move to Poland so I live there for most of the year but I always come back to Germany in the breaks and will come back for good after I finish studying. It is my real home.
Monster was definitely one of her best roles but I also liked her in Long Shot and she was hilarious in Gringo. Furiosa in MAd Max was also one of her best roles.
You're probably right. My own feelings for Spacey are getting in the way of a subjective view. I have been a fan of his work as long as I can remember and when I heard the allegations I couldn't believe it. Nevertheless, I hope there are enough people out there who still want to see him on the screen and will want to work with him.
Most likely people won't forget about the allegations and they will always be in his way.
All that said I still think he will also be remembered for his movies even if it might be with a bitter taste now. He won two Oscars and for years has been one of the best and most influential actors working. He is a part of Hollywood history and he crucially shaped the industry. Just because he is not held in good grace doesn't mean he isn't still an icon.
He did say he regretted what he might have done but after the Frank Underwood video, he posted on YouTube and the poet reading in the museum it seems he is confident enough that he will be coming back soon and that behavior doesn't really indicate an apology to come soon.
Did Louis C. K. apologize for what he was accused of??? I don't think so and he is working again and selling out theatres. Not as big as before of course but still people want to still see him.
It's gonna be the same for Spacey. He already said it was wrong he has not been convicted of anything, therefore, nothing to apologize for.
He is going to make a strong comeback in the next couple of years and I am sure by then enough people will go to see it to know that whatever happened has nothing to do with his profession.
Once an icon always an icon. He has two Academy Awards and plenty of other rewards under his belt. He will come back and knowing him it will be with a bang. He still is one of the best actors on earth right now and if he finds the right project and makes the best of it he will be back in Hollywood in no time.
You don't need to like an actor to appreciate his movies. Spacey is a brilliant actor and whether I like him or not doesn't affect the way I see his movies. If a movie is good, it's good, if it's bad, it's bad but that has nothing to do with who's in it.
That is not necessarily a bad thing. Most indi movies can easily keep with Hollywood flicks. I mean look at "Three Billboards Outside Ebbin Missouri". That move was brilliant and there plenty more examples where indi movies made a difference.
