I hate to say this.
It was good, but I felt duped.
Monster design
Shaky cam
It's amazing how many posts are about how unattractive the females are in these movies.
How many twists can you shove in a movie?
Plot guesses?
It was decent, cliché, but I thought it was somewhat enjoyable.
I liked it, I went in not expecting much, but a fun movie.
I liked this one!

Yep I agree. I was watching and was so pumped up with the music pumping!
That is just it, it is showing what was in the book. I saw the movie a couple times years ago, I thought it was great. Then I got around to reading the book, and holy cow, it is so much better than the Kubrick movie. So I went and bought the miniseries and within the first 20 minutes of that, I was liking it so much better than the movie.
I don't mind the special effects in the miniseries. I am so happy to see on the screen what I had read in the book that I give them a pass, such as the hedge animals. You can really see that the character of Jack starting out as a nice guy who is being haunted by the ghosts of the hotel. In the movie it seems he just starts out like an ass that you don't care if he lives or dies, you aren't rooting for him at all.
Anyway, just my two cents.
I liked this one, only thing I would have done different was at the end, they should have just went to black and rolled credits as soon as the airlock countdown got to 1. I didn't like what they did in the last 3 minutes.
I had never seen any previews for it, and with all the movies I go see, never saw a trailer for it. I just happened to walk by the movie poster when I was at the movies once and decided to go see it.
Sadly that is what I am seeing too. If every single actor isn't white then that makes it woke.
No I’m not either. I have expected to hear more backlash about blaming straight people being the reason the movie failed though.
Just like men were to blame that the all women ghostbusters didn’t do well either.
Get this now though, I saw a movie preview last night that is saying Abraham Lincoln was gay now. Called Lover of Men. I can’t believe this crap.
I agree, the villains hand in peoples heads was cool to look at. What I cannot accept this day in age though is when they crash through the bus and wolverine was basically an NPC (as I heard one person call him) That looked so bad. Also the mask on Wolverine looked bad at times. Deadpool's mask looked good, looked like a physical mask and I am sure it was. But Wolverine's looked horrible at times.
I agree Doom is the lowest ranked in my opinion. I like some of the special effects, such as Mola Ram pulling the guy's heart out of his chest, but then the mine cart chase, the "background" shots through the mine were so horrible. I've been watchin these movies with my kids now, they love them, but God almighty, the mine cart chase was hard to watch.
At the start the one guy said that when the rock was stolen from them, a great darkness came over the village. Plus when Indy brings the rock back and the children at the end, you can already tell the difference in the color of the village. The plants are already blooming again.
It's not bad at all. I have only heard of the video games and never played them. That may be why I liked it so much. It's a goofy movie, and it got a lot of laughs. Maybe the reason people are hating on it is because they have played the games, I don't have any reference to the game to compare it to, but it was a fun movie.
