Kind of what I'm thinking, seems like it's trying a bit too hard/forced.

Looks like this will be a real tearjerker, definitely a strong comeback performance from Brendan Fraser.

Perhaps because it was ahead of its time then. It’s a pretty great movie nonetheless. There will definitely be a third.

3 fucking hours???? So bloated. I felt the first was a solid hour too long.

Watching The Batman.

Definitely a bit long, but the movie moved at a nice pace.

Agree. Wouldn't waste my time or money on the second one. Didn't love the first one. A novelty at first, but then, meh.

Hope Cameron can make the 2 billion he said he needs just to break even.

I find him unwatchable - similar to Emily Blunt. I think they ruin films and I don't know why.

I was hoping I wasn't the only one who doesn't like him.

I do like Emily Blunt, though. To each their own.

I'm w you on both counts. I always think when it's puzzling someone made it big they are probably connected somehow haha. Guy should've kept the mask on re Kylo Ren, didn't work showing his face.

Alfisti · 12-16-2022, 04:32 PM

I like him, he's kinda awkward, big guy, big voice but sorta harmless. Worse thing he did was Star Wars, that was a poor fit and all 3 of those movies were laughably bad.

I liked him a lot in the marriage movie with Scarlett Johannson.

floridaorange · 12-16-2022, 04:41 PM

I tried with that movie ^^ felt way over dramatized - actors not feeling the moment but presenting what the director asked for.

Most ppl enjoy Emily Blunt, I felt she annihilated the film "Sicario." Del Toro is so good, the film could have been great, to me her dear in headlight eyes just made it suck.

It's funny we all have actors who we just don't believe their acting or see through their ability to lie well for a camera.

Speaking of "annihilating" did you see the film "Annihilation?" Came out around 5 yrs ago or so.

Never saw it. Looks like it could be good.

Anybody seen it? What do you think?

floridaorange · 12-16-2022, 06:11 PM

Oh it's good….. trippy and unique. Enjoy it.

Definitely worth the watch. Especially if you like SciFi Mystery.

I warmed up to him in The Last Duel and House of Gucci.

I liked him in Gucci too.

Glad to hear that ppl don’t care too much for Blunt. I find her attractive but there’s something about her roles and movies that, I don’t know, detract from them.

floridaorange · 12-16-2022, 09:03 PM

Huge fan in fact of his non profit - I think the monologues he performs for Arts in the Armed Forces are brilliant. I have donated to it in the past and encourage others to do so as well.

I am torn on this one, not seen it because I feel it may be too trippy and spiritual for me. I love a bug hunt but suspect this will be too abstract.

Looks like a Fun, Good, time!
