What did you think? I was primed to expect garbage, so I was pleasantly surprised, it felt more overstuffed than poorly made.

I read a few negative reviews ( saying it was woke nonsense , diversity , Chloé Zhao blah blah blah ) so wasn't expecting much either and was also pleasantly surprised. It was standard Marvel fare , stunning visually , no need to engage brain and enjoy the action.

I heard similar things.

Two nights ago we watched:

Sherlock Holmes [2009]
-=-"Crime Will Pay"

And last night we watched:

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows [2011]
-=-"The game is afoot."

And, someday, I would very much like to watch:

Sherlock Holmes 3 (?) [????]

I think this is a good Sherlock Holmes franchise. It takes the traditional Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes format, plus a lot of action (Sherlock Holmes is an action hero!) and Hollywood blockbuster presentation and special effects! And it keeps everything in the time period Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would be comfortable with.

If you have not seen the first movie I encourage you to stop reading here...

I do have one big complaint! Spoiler:

Show Spoiler

But, I was wrong. Big spoiler:

Mad Max
Not what I expected, a little boring honestly. Didn't care much for it. Kind of homophobic. But with Mel I guess I should've seen that coming.

Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior)
This one's pretty great. But still very homophobic.

Land of the Dead
I'd seen it before. It's awesome. Romero was the master of zombie films.

Ip Man and Ip Man 2
I'd seen the first film before. It's great. The sequel not so much but still good. The English language dialogue written by Chinese scriptwriters is absolutely hilarious. It's almost natural-sounding, but with an akward vibe about it.
Somewhat uncomfortably both films have rather cartoony foreign villains and a bit of a nationalistic tone.

The Thing (1882)
Awesome. The effects are great, but the suspense is what makes it a great film.

I Am Legend
Pretty good. Will Smith is fantastic, I liked the plot but the ending kind of sucks. The whole film really seems to be building up to the alternate ending that wasn't used so there's a serious disconnect there. Also, the "darkseekers" look terrible. They look like the banking clan guy from Attack of the Clones.

A movie with a background theme of societal oppression to it. The borrowers are the little people, the underdogs of society & the big people are the capitalists, running them off of their territory.

Last night we watched:

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World [2012]
-=-"Nice knowing you."

We enjoyed it. And it did deliver Romance and Comedy...as best as could be reasonably expected from a movie literally aboutthe end of the World.

None.

I found out the other day there's a movie called "Let My Puppets Come" 1976. I may have to check that one out. lol.

I might rewatch Fight Club, (f--k china) American Psycho, Maybe, If i don't change my mind. It's atleast been 10 years since I've seen either one.

Winter's Bone (2010)

Absolutely unforgettable, gritty story, hard to watch in places, like I don't particularly like to see women beaten up in films, but that came with the territory.

Exceptional casting too.
Five stars, seriously.
