I have a few questions that have to do with aquaman: Why is he the only one that can talk to fish? Why can only a few Atlantians breath air? Why are some atlantians normal looking and others look like reptilian mermaids and giant crabs? How did Arthur’s mother escape those people eating things without any light? Why didn’t he just call Superman to punch the bad guy into the sun?

To answer all your questions at once, it's because MCU > DCU.

Folks you wanna see a great movie , see The Last of the Mohicans. Just the musical score is awesome, let alone the location and acting.

Has anyone seen Mr. Nobody? Fun fact: I looked up the song Foo the Flowerhorn uses in all his videos, Gymnopedie no. 1 by Erik Satie(beautiful song btw) and somehow stumbled across the movie. It’s crazy when you understand it. Great film.
 
I haven’t truly loved a movie in a long time. Fingers crossed it comes soon!

I watched Captain Marvel last night, I really liked it but I’ve been hearing tons of negative reviews and I have no dea why, so for any of you movie critics can you explain why lots of people didn’t like it?
 
Haven't watched it, but what I heard it was super feminism though....that's just what I heard

Really? I didn’t get that at all
 
Okay, just read the reviews. Apparently its spotty, and poorly written

There’s a fundamental dissonance between the depth of her plight and the shallow disorganization of the script- Wallreet Journal

The movie itself is spotty, but it gets better as it goes along. That’s not hard, since the opening scene on the planet Hala is weightless and the subsequent battle sequence poorly staged and shot.-Vulture

 
Has anyone watched Alita: Battle Angel? I saw it on Friday and honestly have no idea how to describe it.

Why bother with critics? If you like it, you like it
 
Today completes week #1 lf cycling the fish tank. And its felt like a Long week. Come to this forum has helped so much!

I am looking for movie suggestions to watch. I've been keeping a Word document of what movies people have suggested and who suggested them.

I have Comcast and Netflix.
I like: Animated, Drama, Comedy, Some Sci-Fi, Netflix Originals, Some Documentaries, and others that I can't think of off the top of my head.
 
Down periscope is pretty funny. I guess it depends what networks you use and what your into.
 
Here's some of my favorites:
I Am Legend
Bedtime Stories
The Sixth Sense
Inside Out is actually really good
I liked Aquaman
Thor: Ragnarok is fantastic.
 
If you like nature Hidden kingdoms is excellent.The scorpion mouse is fabulous.
 
I love comedy, so - Identity Thief, The Interview, and Borat come to mind immediately as the ones I've watched multiple times and never failed to laugh at.

Hold that! You have got to watch Gran Torino, in my opinion, one of the best movies I have watched and my favorite!
 
Gran Torino is touching if a Clint Eastwood movie could ever be called that . Great movie that I am so glad I took my son to when it came out ! I watch it over and over .
I am a fan of the Big LebowskI ,although rather theme orientated it is funny [The Dude Abides !] .It is drive in season in my neck of the woods so that is my Friday activity when the choices are appealing !
 
Get Out is newer and was just added to Netflix; not sure if you'd like that. I agree with I Am Legend ^, I can watch over and over for some reason and never get sick of it.

I just got back from watching The Lion King remake, I would say, don’t bother going to see it, just watch the original
 
MidSommer was a disappointment. It's by the same director who directed Hereditary, so I thought I'd like this as well. I was wrong. It goes on for too long, and it's not even scary.

AJE, if it's a non-spoiler, what's your biggest gripe about it? I have zero interest in Disney's remakes, but simply curious. Loved the movies growing up, but now I'm just too old for that stuff; and honestly, I think I'm done with Disney for a while.

It is the exact same script as the original so they obviously put no effort into it. Also since it’s live action it’s confusing at some times because you can’t tell who’s who. Also Rafiki. Also, there are leaf cutter ants in a scene

Well, bear in mind that Disney is now the owner of the Marvel Universe and the Star Wars universe. However, I get what you mean about the remakes. I did take the girls to see Aladdin, mostly to see if Will Smith would be a good genie. He was, without trying to imitate Robin Williams. And the story was a bit different than the original movie, though the major points were the same. And it did have a distinct feminist bent to it. But overall I liked it.

Disney is just..... ugh. I mostly dislike them for ruining Star Wars but they have definitely not done a great job with all of these remakes and whatnot.

I’ve liked the new Star Wars movies, Solo is my favorite Star Wars movie. But yes, I agree, these remakes are an effortless way for them to make more money
 
My biggest problem with it is that they scrapped the EU, which I was invested in and still care about, to invent new canon, which even without losing everything from the past I still think is not objectively good..... just my opinion with that though, I do admit to being biased lol.

But the Mandelorian made up for all that.

I rewatched The Princess Bride last night. Rotten tomatoes gave it a 97%, way too low it deserves 111%. It’s in my top 3 movies of all time.

I haven't seen any of the Mandalorian. Star Wars IX looks awful.
 
Hello guys

I can't believe that there isn't a thread for this. As the title suggests, this is a thread to discuss all things cinematic.
Now, subject number one for discussion: Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker.
Personally, I thought it was fantastic. Funny, dramatic, and had mostly good character arcs (Leia's flashback thing at the end was dumb in my opinion).
Of course, I am also not a die-hard Star Wars fan as some are. I can't even remember what happens in all of them. That's probably why I liked it so much.
So what do you guys think?
 
Star wars? Like fighting stars? Going around hollywood and assaulting stars? I'm confused.

I didn’t care for it. Too much going on. They combined too many things.

In my humble opinion, Disney should not have made any Star Wars movies. I think that Disney ruined the story.

I agree. It is definitely a very "full" movie.

The Mandelorian is really good. You would probably really like it, it is way better than any of the movies, even the originals(I’m going to get in trouble for that). Rise of Skywalker was ok, I’ll rewatch a few times but it’s just alright

I liked it, we saw it twice in the theaters. The second time the theater was empty which was nice. We got to talk through the movie, I got to check fishlore on the slow parts. I had more fun the second time
