It’s cool lol. I did like the fight scenes a lot, which were choreographed by theguy that did the fight scenes in A Moment of Romance! Which was the only reason I went to watch the movie other than Donnie Yen being in it
Of all the things I hated in the movie, the fucking “mind battle” was the one which made me want to start throwing things at the screen.
Aka “marriage”?..I kid, I kid, because I’m a jaded divorcee LOLLLL!!!
Oh Grasshopper, I’m sure you would appreciate it a lot more now that you are a lot older, and married. You’re right around 40 right? -that’s when most dudes start getting “wise”, so they tell me…
Have you watched The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On? It’s an old documentary following Kenzo Okuzaki, a traumatized and slightly deranged former soldier of the Imperial Japanese Army who travels around Japan confronting his former comrades over systemic cannibalism among the Japanese troops in the jungles of New Guinea.
Pretty excruciating to watch and beats any horror movie in terms of creepiness. Oh, and it ends with an actual attempt at manslaughter.
Last Blood isn’t a good film. There’s lots of shit in it to criticize without making shit up just to virtue signal. Critics, you have lost all credibility. Which makes your opinions worthless. Go fuck yourselves. Cowards and shills.
Endgame is an endorsement of State Socialist propaganda. Revision of history, artificially propping up females for manpower and productivity, and fighting the bogeyman that is ‘fascism’, which, being a figment of the populace’s collective imagination, simply disappears with the snap of a finger once the sole representation of the bourgeois, Ironman, embraces socialist ideology and discards his individuality for the greater good.
Alas, the real endgame is just beginning. Heroes of the revolution are now immortalized as action figures. Captain America will now appear in photos in historical events in the past in places he could never have been at if the movie had stuck to it’s own rules of time travel. Thor handing over Aasgard to Valkyrie invokes the image of a late 1950s Mao who was then a drunken party-boy(no pun intended) disgruntled with the increasing levels of State beauracracy and elitism. The Cultural Revolution will be the endgame.
Ad Astra is so boring and pointless staring at your screen saver for 2hrs would be better use of your time.
Edit:
No, I’m sorry. Here’s a real review.
Ad Astra shows us how spineless film critics are when poorly developed themes involving the deconstruction of masculinity, State engineered concepts of heroism, and religion are present in a movie which also features an attack by moon pirates and baboons in zero gravity as it’s main action sequences.
It also explores the mind of someone who would make a movie like this. Like the vastness of space, and the movie’s conclusion on the search for other forms of intelligent life, there is nothing there. Any profound meaning one is able to convince oneself is in this film would be a product of a fuckload of faith.
Brad Pitt puts in a captivating performance, showing us he is capable of looking sadder than Keanu Reeves for 2 hours. Through monologues with a psychological assessment program, and internal monologues provided by mostly redundant voice-overs throughout the entire movie, Sad Brad constantly tells us how sad he is, depicting that layer hidden underneath the surface of male stoicism while reminding us how stupid we are that we need everything spelled out for us.
Ad Astra is a truly astounding film; astounding in the fact that 80 million dollars was wasted on this piece of garbage and Disney is now trying to get it back by making us waste our money.
Batman and Harley Quinn was way raunchier than I expected after putting it on for my 4 year old. Fortunately all that stuff went way over his head and I enjoyed it thoroughly. 8/10.
