Yeah, I have about as much interest in watching another CGI shitfest mummy movie and I do in seeing that Matt Damon Great Wall movie - zero.

I wouldn't sell it short. Movies fall off the radar with no competition on a weekly basis. This one stuck close to 60 million in week 2. Some predictions didn't have it opening that high. It's a legitimate hit.

I'm not, I just think it's contributory. I don't mean that it's box office success isn't warranted, just that the summer flix right now is rather paltry.

I finally saw it.
It was damned solid. And Gadot is a ****ing dime piece. Good Lord she's gorgeous They did a good job with making her look and move like a fighter. The action was really well done, IMO. There were a couple wonky moves but nothing to take me out of it. Nothing would wreck this shit faster than to ham up the hand to hand stuff. The story was well written also and her character arc and the end message were top shelf. Hats off. Pine killed it. Especially when he was trying to explain how this is still shitty after she killed what she thought was Aries. Well done. The final battle of God vs God was meh. It's getting difficult to do that well. It's just been done too much and too hard to ground it back in reality. It's totally necessary, but still didn't add much. Go see it if you haven't. |

Gadot was also in Batman vs Superman for her intro appearance. They even used the same old B7W photo of her during WWI. I forgot all about who played WW in that, until I watched it again over the weekend.

Finally saw it the other day. Good movie. Worth going to see. Like all the other DC movies, it had it's slow points - but nowhere near as bad as the other movies.
My only complaint was the 2 teenage girls behind me that wouldn't shut up. I even gave them the benefit of the doubt that once the movie started, they'd shut up. Boy was I wrong. Talking at normal voices or even trying to talk over loud parts in the movie, reading EVERY word that came on the screen, and then playing on their phones. I tried the casual approach "Shhh"; "Please keep it down"; etc. That only made them do very loud "SHHHHH'S" every time anyone made a noise in the theater. I'm not one to tattle on them, but it wore thin & ruined a part of the movie for me & my family. Finally told front desk "Either you guys shut them the **** up or I'm going to do it in a not nice way." They told them "Either you be quiet & put your phones away or we're kicking you out." Didn't hear from them again. Sorry for the rant.....hate it when people talk excessively in movies. Especially when I spend $100 to see one. |

I try to only do matinees or Alamo for the same reasons. I have yet to see anybody be loud and obnoxious at Alamo. Except during quote-a-longs where it is expected.

Yeah, we pick a choose which movies are worth the expense. we never purchase drinks other than water cups and get the large popcorn with a free refill.
