Really glad to hear. I was really hoping it was worth seeing. Probably not for everyone and I'm not expecting it to be a blockbuster hit.

Oh really iceman?

Ok, then suck on this nugget of truth!!!:

Maverick was a piece of shit that was complete nonsense. One of the dumbest movies I’ve ever seen.

And if you disagree you are either a moron or lying.

Boom!

I can't comment on Peele's movies because I've never seen any of them. But if his reboot of Twilight Zone is reflective of his abilities to write and direct movies, then I don't think there's a chance that I would like them. His TZ reboot wasn't scary, mysterious, thought-provoking, well-written, well-directed, or well-acted. They were a gargantuan affront to 50s-60s series, and a semi affront to the 80's series (and that's saying something).

Quite honestly, I knew of Kay and Peele from way back when. When TZ came to Paramount Plus, I didn't put 2 and 2 together that it was him. I watched most episodes just hoping that it would get better. It didn't.

Good to know. Thanks. He ought to distance himself from it.-- haha Seriously, I'll give his movies a shot on your comment alone. Thanks.

Oh yeah? We’ll double don’t go outside of Texas to you. Suck on that buddy!!

Honestly though, why do you think anybody gives a shit about your banal opinion on movies? I can’t imagine going to see a movie, and thinking I should race over here and post a review of it.

Odd!

Ok just came back, ate a bag of popcorn, one pizza, a large coke and some fries. The movie was good too! No idea what happened, but I watched it!

Damn Texans are so soft.

Afraid of a little ol’ trip on the subway!

Maverick was just a bad movie!

I’ll admit life without a bodega would be rough.

Where do you get your fan of chef boy r dee at 4 am without driving?

You two…get a room!

I'm lost on the direction of this thread. I thought its main purpose was to critique the movie. I haven't seen it yet, but do plan to. It seems like anyone with anything positive to say of the movie is considered crazy by the op. It doesn't really seem open for discussion.

Now I'm curious if the movie makes a jab at Texans in some way to cause this vendetta. OP just seems like he's looking for a fight.

So…has anyone seen the Elvis movie? Care to share your opinion? We will be cordial in our responses.

Thanks for confirming what I already expected after seeing the previews, it’s the new version of Independence Day movie which I thought sucked but some love and they made a sequel, ahahah, aliens invade, this thread getting too much, movies have been horrible for almost 10 ok maybe 15 or more years anyway

Who knew an alien movie could be so divisive. Means it's a must watch.

There's really only 3 completely horrible movies.

Battlefield Earth
Below
Darkness Falls
and maybe Waterworld gets an honorable mention.

What are your thoughts on Lightyear?

You missed one. This went viral before viral was a term. Also, Superman 3 would like to be included. The 80’s have some spectacular box office flops.

Been drifting aimlessly since deeproot imploded... I think it broke something inside him...

100%agree on Independence Day sequel. The original was ok back in the day for what it was.

Nope is -nothing- like Independence Day. It has as much to do with ID as Jurassic Park does. I mean 0%. I thought It was a bit long but it wasn’t just “dumb fun” like Independence Day. I was expecting that, and was surprised. It’s not going to change anybody’s life, but subverted almost all my expectations, and was worth seeing in a theater.

Superman 3 is great! (If you’re an 8 year old in the 80s!). It has Richard Pryor, an evil cyborg, deadly AI, and was the inspiration for Office Space!

But seriously, I think you probably meant Superman IV, in which the studio ran out of money WHILE they were filming, and they had to cobble together a story from what footage they had.

The 80's remake series was FAR better than Peele's. Can't even compare the original to it....

Haven't seen it yet, but I'm not a huge Toy Story/Disney person anyway.

I was being somewhat sarcastic with your reference to bad movies. I feel the same way about Lightyear that ice does about nope. It felt like they were trying to take an adult movie and market it to kids. Nothing about it clicked for me. I don't have any problem with the stuff parents were complaining about. Just thought it was an awful movie.

Gf liked it, I thought it was too slow- but STILL Peele does interesting stuff and it was at least interesting, albeit way too slow for my taste.

I liked it too. Thought Thor was lacking, but both were entertaining. Which I guess is the point of going to the movies in the first place. Don't take any movie all that serious to be honest. Certainly glad this isn't about Star Wars or the page count would be in the double digits at this point...Lol

What he said. Though if the plotline you're saying should have been cut is the one I'm thinking of, it did make for some of the most disturbing moments.

Don't forget "Plan 9 from Outer Space". But it's so bad, I guess that's what makes it endearing in a way (i.e. The best of the worst makes it special).

Silly me, by the title (and me being older) I thought this had something to do with someone getting negative PSA test.

Yep, agreed - it added some tension for sure, but I didn’t feel it added anything story-wise

Go watch, Gone in the Night. That movie was absolutely awful. The theater at the end had a good laugh looking around asking each other what the hell did we just watch, lol.

I loved his first two movies. Get Out is Fing awesome. Us was very good as well. Im looking forward to Nope. Different strokes for different folks. I also think dialed in is the best jjp game and Stern Star Wars Premium is great!

What the hell that monkey has to do with all of it?

I hadn't heard of this, and this is one of the reviews (from an actual critic): "When the movie started, I wanted to like it. 90 minutes later, I just wanted it to end."

LOL!

We saw a trailer for this movie "Barbarian" which starts off with a similar premise, and looks insane. I'll be going back to see that one

That is exactly what my wife and I said. It was a twisted, unique situation / scene, but it did fit into the movie and made absolutely no sense.

This is the subplot I was referring to earlier. It's an example of how unpredictible animals can be, which is obviously an important central theme to the movie. However, I think they actually conveyed this just fine with the horses, so I agree it wasn't really needed.

I can see your point, however, what was with the slipper? The camera specifically focused on it before moving on.

Im going to go see it at some point... I don't trust anyones opinion on movies.

Allot of people need to be hit over the head with stuff so anything a bit different or that takes some reading between the lines they say "sucks".

I cant stand action movies or those goddamn CGI superhero movies so to each his own.

I'd rather fire a cactus out my ass than see that Maverick movie.

Here's the opinion of our country's most insightful movie reviewer (if you're in America, that is):
