I'd say that maybe you should actually watch the movie before going on about how it's not scary at all and how you're such a badass edgelord who's better than all the pussies and cucks.

 

Are you really saying that if given a chance with a gadot rn you wouldn't take it ?

 

... he's saying quite the opposite.

 

From what I remember the awful 90s adaptation of It constantly showed the monster and did a terrible job of being scary, it's not exactly a new modern thing for horror movies to go for cheap thrills instead of anything more subtle. If you haven't watched that since you were a kid you might want to take another look, because that hilarious spider wasn't any scarier than constantly having the clown shoved in your face.

 

Kingsman in 2 days...Kingsman in 2 days...Kingsman in 2 days...Kingsman in 2 days...Kingsman in 2 days...

This is basically my brains for the next two days, lol

 

Baby Driver was boring as fffuuuuuyyyck. Only good part was the trailer shot where he spins the Subaru in an improbable way. I probably should have taken the hint. I mean, they used the Impreza in red instead of blue.

Spoiler

The quirky love story didn't pull me in at all. Baby's gimmick was wasted on a try hard classic soundtrack of which I didn't recognize one song. As awesome as the first GOTG is, fuck it for making this soundtrack thing a thing.

Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm and Kevin Spacey had nothing to play. The film went for the cheapest cliches and I saw none of Edgar Wright's humor. It ain't got shit on Hot Fuzz. I don't know why it got favorable reviews, there's nothing there.

 

My opinion of Baby Driver is a little more favourable, but from the reviews I was expecting something excellent. As it was I actually paused it somewhere in the middle and finished few hours later because it didn't fully capture my attention.

 

I'm off to the local cineworld tonight - a showing of Kingsman at ~2100, and then a midnight release of Golden Circle.

Work tomorrow is going to be hell.

 

It: pretty good
Baby Driver: okay, nothing special
Logan Lucky: boring and therefore bad.

 

Golden Circle was awesome. Dunno whether I feel it's better than the original, although it does seem to suffer from a minor case of "Americans aren't outshone".

 

Yeah, seconded, buuuuut...

Spoiler

I almost walked out when Roxy died. Like wtf!

And there's no way they get Channing Tatum to play such a minor role without a third movie planned...

The movie is definitely more style than substance but it didn't bore me. Paper thin plot though and it lacks any kind of coherent message.

 

Spoiler

I'm not at all sold on Roxy being dead. You see her yell 'shit!' and then rush off screen before it happens. A few seconds later or two, the mansion explodes. It was very clearly deliberately done, as virtually every other significant death was shown onscreen. There could have easily been some high tech asspull escape handy and waiting offscreen. Certainly more plausible than "parafilm saves headshot victims".

I'm sure they wanted to leave it vague, unlike with Harry's "death", so the option to write her into a third film could be done with a significantly smaller handwave.

 

Yeah, I'm clinging to that hope, lol

 

Thought Kingsman was pretty dull, to be honest. Not awful by any stretch, a couple of the set pieces were genuinely cool (although nothing on the church scene) and a couple of the jokes made me laugh out loud, but overall a disappointing sequel.

 

Yeah, with time I'm definitely feeling more disappointed by it...

Spoiler

Harry, and his amnesia arc, just shouldn't have happened. If you want to bring him back, they should have done it in a later movie. Preferably when Eggsy has had more time as Galahad and he's had more time up grow as an agent.

I think a Scotsman going full John Denver and singing about his beloved West Virginia was cringey as fuck. Don't even get me started on Elton John.

I'd have preferred it if this movie was Eggsy and Roxy as the last two Kingsmen having to save the world alone (BIAS ALERT I MAY HAVE A MASSIVE CRUSH), especially with her rather bit-part role in the climax of the first movie.

And Julian Moore was just poor when compared with Sam Jackson's villain...

So yeah, I wouldn't call it dull. I definitely enjoyed my time, but certainly disappointing...

 

As someone who's never liked the OG Bladerunner, I enjoyed 2049 a lot...

I think?

 

It's very much a sequel. If you're dreading them having 2017ing it, I don't think you have to worry. It's a sci-fi mystery thriller, not an action packed blockbuster.

Oh, and it's gorgeous, but that was obvious from the trailers.
