Ridley Scott's Gladiator 2 Could Have Been As Good As The 2000 Movie With One Big Story Change
I didn't care for Gladiator 2 at all. They shoehorned Denzel Washington to play....what his his character's name again...oh who cares, it was Denzel Washington playing Denzel Washington. There were far more special effects in the film, which I'm sure theatergoers ate up. It really didn't phase me either way as I'd watched it on the smaller screen. The overall story was just boring. Yes, I get that Scott was attempting to continue to include real life historical figures into the mix, but Jesus those Emperor twins of Tweedle Dom and Tweedle Dee were embarrassing to watch. And again, I know there's so much love for Washington, but he's no Joaquin Phoenix' Commodus. That bar was set far too high and highly doubt it could ever be matched.
Mortal Kombat 2's 9 New Video Game Characters, Ranked By How Excited I Am To See Them
Couldn't care less about Johnny Cage's character; hasn't he been in every MK movie since the very first one from 30 years ago?
I'd like to see Skarlet in a new MK movie. She's an interesting and above all UNIQUE character that manipulates blood to be used as weapons.
10 Missing Mortal Kombat 1 Characters Who Desperately Need To Return For A Sequel
I want Scarlet. I like her unique character; different from the ninjas overall.
Henry Cavill "Couldn't Stop Watching" Netflix's Best Animated Show Of All Time & I Totally Get Why
It's actually strange that the audience score gave it only an 87%. I guarantee you that there was a significant representation of Right-Winged review-bombers on there who just didn't like same-sex relationships. You know who you are.
Nora's "You're Her" Line Confirms Something I've Always Wondered About Ellie Since Season 1's Ending
The only thing to wonder is, if Abby and her friends had known about who Ellie was right from the start, would they have just left her alone like that or kidnapped her to see if another doctor could do the experiments for a cure?
"It Didn't Add Up Logically:" James Cameron's Reaction To Prometheus Sums Up Everything Wrong With Alien's Prequel
Prometheus is still the only film in the franchise, outside of the first two, that I actually want to watch again and again. This includes the Alien 3, Resurrection, and the A. vs. P movies. It really the down-to-Earth performances of the cast, especially led by Noomi Rapace, that captivated me.
Its flaws aside, I would absolutely take it over any Alien movie since Aliens. And yes, that includes Romulus.
Wednesday Season 2 Sets Edward Scissorhands Reunion For Tim Burton With New Casting Update
I feel slightly ashamed to realize now that AMH actually played the bully in Edward Scissorhands. I'd imagine he must've loved that role; considering he was routinely typecast in the 80s as the one who got bullied.
As Someone Who Never Played The Last Of Us, I Don't Understand The Abby Outrage Despite What She Did
You itted to have never played the game. The bottom line is that Abby's murder of Joel in the game wasn't immediately spelled out for you. You didn't know who she was and above all WHY she was doing it. And this was after having built such a rapport with Joel that the notion of his character no longer being there wasn't even fathomable.
I Loved Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes, But Its Sequel Must Finally Do What The Franchise Has Been Teasing Since 2011
One step at a time. As of the last movie, the apes aren't the most intelligent beings on the planet yet. To the disappointment of many including myself, there were still pockets of people who could not only talk but had access to the latest technology and weapons.
Snow White Continues Gal Gadot's Rather Horrid Rotten Tomatoes Run 8 Years After Career High Scores
How are most of the movies on her "bad streak" really her fault? WW '84 was just a bad movie because of a terrible story and bad script. But people still enjoy her character overall; hence why the original WW was her best to date.
If Ahsoka Season 2 Doesn't Answer This Essential Ahsoka Tano Question, I'm Going To Lose It
How about instead of elaborating so much on what she was doing during the OT era (I thought that was already cleared up anyway in the Rebels show, suggesting she was stuck in the World Between Worlds), we actually get to see the important moment when she first meets Luke ON SCREEN? That's a big deal. I was very disappointed when the Mando/BOBF shows already suggested that she met Luke at some point off screen.
"Most People Want The Poorer Kid To Win": Why 1 Cobra Kai Character Didn't Win The Sekai Taikai Explained By Creator
Tory was really the only "kid" character that I really cared for in the entire show. I'm glad she wound up with the meaningful fight at the end.
"We Were Asleep At The Wheel": Ridley Scott Reflects On Divisive Alien Prequel Prometheus
Yup that was the key regarding Shaw's story. You can't tell me that, all along, she was mean to be a one-hit-wonder in the franchise. Prometheus ended with a cliffhanger. And there's hardly a follow-up. Just David taking his revenge on those "Supreme Beings".
"We Were Asleep At The Wheel": Ridley Scott Reflects On Divisive Alien Prequel Prometheus
For all of its divisiveness, Prometheus ranked third (behind only Alien and Aliens) for a long time among all films in the franchise in of critics' ratings until Romulus got in with 80% last year.
It Took 12 Years, But Prometheus Finally Makes Sense After Ridley Scott Changed The Alien Franchise Forever
Haters always going to hate. IMO, Prometheus currently ranks third in the Alien franchise; after the first two films. To date, Elizabeth Shaw has been the closest, most relatable character in the entire franchise since Ellen Ripley; and you cannot change my mind on that. And I just feel like the film itself is more relatable overall; it doesn't have to carry that militaristic vibe that the other films do. I've seen it countless times, and have the video on Blu-Ray. It's the ONLY film in the franchise that I've seen more than once - outside of the first two films.
Yeah, I get it, people just don't like to "think" too much in the Alien films. Just show us the Xenomorphs and face-huggers, some acid corroding through the floor scenes. That's what the majority of the fans want to see. They don't care about the "why". Just the action and terror.
Star Wars Completes A 2-Year-Old Inquisitor Retcon, Pretty Much Erasing My Favorite Ahsoka Story From Canon
Haters always going to hate. Ahsoka is easily the most INTERESTING new character in the SW universe in probably the last two decades.
Her stories just need to follow a more linear path so they don't get so convoluted.
5 Years On, Marvel Finally Redeemed Avengers: Endgame’s Most Disappointing Miss
I'd love to see Hayley suiting up and reprising a more official role as Captain Carter in a live action format. That's really the only way you'll get me to into watching another Marvel movie on the big screen, to be honest with you.
I was duped into watching Multiverse of Madness. Just another convoluted borefest turned fanservice because the typical Marvel fanboy wants nothing more than to see Strange in all his glory every second on screen.
Studio Ghibli's Official First Movie Is Secretly One Of Its Most Important, & A Lord Of The Rings Star Just Proved It
Easily my favorite Hayao Miyazaki film, bar none. And the Manga that it was adapted from (also written by Hayao Miyazaki is a pure gem.
Mike Flanagan's First Official Horror Show After 5-Year Netflix Reign Couldn't Be More Perfect & Continues His Incredible Stephen King Streak
Carrie was already remade for modern audiences with Chloe Grace Moretz taking the lead role. Why does this need yet another remake?
But of course no one has to answer this question, it's rhetorical. Hollywood in general has lost its creativity, so remakes and sequels are what es through the producers' desks for approval these days.
10 Major Realizations I Had Watching Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story As A Lifelong Superman Fan
I was deeply moved by the documentary for sure. If there was one thing that I thought it was missing, it was any archival interviews with Margot Kidder involving her Superman work with Christopher Reeve.
