It’s fun honing in on the subtle details, since I know how it’ll all play out. That room rotating scene is fucking amazing. Also, all the girls are hot af. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Impossible 407 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I was completely tight about Mortal Kombat. It was a fine background watch but they completely over thought and underdeveloped the premise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The trailer was good and people made fun of me because I said it looks like they were over thinking it. Lol it was even worse than I thought it would be. I did like how they did Lui Kangs character and kung lao. Sub zero was good as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,892 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I watched The Courier. Great movie with probably Benedict Cumberbatch's best performance ever. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angelfish 93 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I saw Mortal Kombat and thought it was OK although I'm not too familiar with the franchise. Sub-Zero, Kano and Scorpion were the highlights. I agree with Chris Stuckmann that the fight scenes lacked impact apart from the fatalities. A bit more blood leading to the fatalities would've added a bit more weight to the action scenes IMO. I saw the film Identity for the first time yesterday and thought it was pretty interesting. Its been a while since I've seen a film where the setting (grungy Motel) and weather (rain) contribute so much to a film. It reminded me of Road to Perdition a little bit with how it handled rain. Not sure if its me but the cinematography and production quality still look really good for a early 2000's film. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cooke 2,026 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Finished Falcon and Winter Solider.. huge step down from wandavision. It was boring, the villains were cardboard cutouts, falcon is weak, Bucky didn't get enough development. It was pretty meh the whole way through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ike★ 2,906 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Mare of Easttown soooo good. Seriously, two episodes in and this is shaping up to be another HBO classic. Winslet will probably have an Emmy for best lead in limited series. I’d highly suggest this show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The show has small stakes but it was about background stuff in the MCU. In this universe half of the population was killed off and returned five years later. So it was an interesting POV of what the politics of a world that has to repatriate lost people. When people don't want to like something, they'll find any reason to do so. If it were a world conquering alien invasion, you would be complaining that it was a rehash of other stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted to like it because i really liked Wandavision.. except for the first few goofy episodes, it finished very strong. This one was just boring the whole way through. Yes the post snap reintegration is a good concept for them to deal with, but the villains just being steroid using losers who want to kill people because they don't want to have borders? I don't get the correlation between the two subjects. What does repatriating all those that came back and not having borders have to do with anything? and why the fuck is she so violent in the first place? She has mommy and daddy issues.. ok fine. Boring. Winter Soldier and Falcon as a team just don't gel either. Just felt like a low budget marvel movie extended for 8 hours. There was nothing unique or new about it.

The bad guys weren't really bad... At first. They showed how radical groups can mean well while being villified by the establishment only to wind up becoming bad in order to achieve their goals. They didn't spend a tremendous amount of time, and probably should have spent some more time on it but they did talk about things like people showing up to homes they no longer own or are in countries not of their origin.

Ike★ 2,906 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Zemo and John Walker were the best parts of Falcon and Winter Soldier. Also, new suit, while faithful to the comics, is super gay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
