The original bad boys has a coherent plot right after all there has to be some Michael bay movies that have a coherent plot and compelling charachterisations. The first is the best bay has to have made a best film in a franchise.

I guess that has, in some part, to do with the fact that the first Bad Boys was Bay's first film. He didn't have the chance to go full insane yet.

The original films aren't about evolution. Where did that come from? Apart from exploring sociopolitical orthodoxy and religious revisionism, the ever present theme is of humanity's inevitable self-destructive tendencies. These themes are also present in the new series in varying degrees.
@filmsoffthecuff9316Ай бұрын
I can see that. Maybe that was an oversimplification on my part. However, the pre-reboot films - to me at least - touched on a dynamic between humans and apes, almost as if hinting at a backwards evolution. That's where I got my statement from.

I was worried it would be overhyped for me, because I didn’t love the first part. This movie blew me away on every level! It is a spectacle of effects, it is was enthralling with its story and characters, and developed this world even more. A masterclass in sci-fi filmmaking. I was floored. It also flew by for me as well, it was paced to near perfection. Great review! Keep making videos 👍

Absolutely incredible film and a really immersive experience in the theater. Thanks for inviting me and I wish you luck on getting your review together. I agree it was a much more lore heavy film than the first and had so much effort put into it. As always Hans Zimmer’s score was 🤌. It really immerses you into the planet Arrakis and it shakes the seats in the theater. Going to check out that Dune Part 1 review right now.

Quentin Tarantino executed a cinematic masterstroke by strategically casting John Travolta as Vincent Vega, showcasing a brilliant intertextual link between "Pulp Fiction" and the 70s classic "Saturday Night Fever." The pivotal scene of Vincent and Mia dancing at Jack Rabbit Slim's serves as a seamless nod, underscoring Tarantino's adept ability to intertwine cultural references and elevate the film's narrative resonance. Experiencing "Pulp Fiction" upon its 1994 release was unparalleled; its unique narrative structure and Tarantino's distinctive style left an indelible impression. To this day, it holds a coveted spot in my top 10, a testament to its enduring impact and cinematic brilliance.

Apart from The Man Who Knew Too Much, Hitchcock did not copy his own work, unlike a lot of other film-makers. In my opinion that's the way directors should approach a body of work. I might be old fashioned as I abhor franchises. I can stomach a sequel, but in general I find that any more than that, originality suffers.
@filmsoffthecuff93164 ай бұрын
I can respect that. Many stories forget to quit while they are ahead. However, some franchises actually manage to build a strong through-line between the stories to create a greater, more complex world. For me, it just depends on the filmmaker/studio. In other words, do they actually care, or do they just want money?

Please don't let subtitles scare you off. In fact, going way back to the 1930's, Japan has made some of the finest movies ever made (Kurosawa, Ozu, Mizoguchi).

Not to knock against those who avoid subtitles out of trouble paying attention to the film at the same time as the written dialogue. I have struggled with that at times, though I've gotten used to it. And so can others with practice.

Have you seen the 1954 original (the Japanese version, not the American release with Raymond Burr cut in)? It's a genuinely great film, in the same ways that Godzilla Minus One was: a real movie for adults, with heart and with substantial character arcs. It also portrayed Godzilla as a purely terrifying walking disaster, in much the same way this one did though of course with the effects available in 1954. This was really the first modern film in the Godzilla franchise that accomplished what Ishiro Honda did back then--but done as modern spectacle with today's production values.

Exactly. The movie is about human struggles. Godzilla just happens to step into the frame in all of his awesomeness. He is the catalyst pushing their journeys, not the substance of the film itself. That is what the Monsterverse got wrong.

I really enjoyed the film. Was not expecting it to be as beautifully written as it was. I think Americans have been spoon fed a shallow diet of CGI, over the top action sequences, all at the expense of ignoring what gives a film substance: believable and relatable characters. Godzilla Minus One did that. It's a big breath of fresh air.

This seems to be similar to when he did Army of the Dead. Thank you for watching and adding your thoughts!
