Fucking LEGO Movie 2 got me, just like the first one
I started it last night, agree with your take
pretty much all the movie filler stuff is whatever -- I just wanted the interviews
and yeah, Will Ferrell was painfully unfunny
Went to see Ad Astra last night. The shots of the planets and overall cinematography were fantastic but the story and the tone is pretty meh.
Saw it this weekend. Very well done on all levels except... story. Kept waiting for something bigger to happen. To be fair my wife disagrees with me there.
So Ad Astra is Gravity 2.
Gemini Man - great visuals and sound but a pretty bland, stupid story.
David Benioff should really stop being hired to write television and movies. He's seemingly a very good producer who can put all the pieces together pretty well but should be nowhere near the writer's table given his past writing projects.
Watched Godzilla: King of the Monsters on a flight yesterday... I think I'm well-documented as a giant creature movie fan, so I'll say I enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong, it was a terrible movie with a dumb message, cringe-worthy dialogue, and a ton of way-too-convenient solutions for things. But in terms of hot Godzilla on Monster Zero action, I enjoyed. Even watched the climactic fight scene a couple of times.
Godzilla vs. Kong has all of the makings of Batman vs. Superman in its pure absurdity. Godzilla would DESTROY Kong. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot and a big dummy.
Agreed - they haven't set up Kong to be in the same league. I hope the director of that movie is the same person who did Skull Island, which is the best monster movie I've seen in decades and is severely underrated.
Edited to add that I just looked it up and the director is Adam Wingard, who directed You're Next, The Guest (both good movies), and Death Note, which I have heard is not great but still want to see. interesting choice.
