I wasn't even rooting for them to escape the Nazis, that is how annoying they were. They just did so many stupid things, i was hoping they would get caught to be put out of their misery.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Finally got around to watching Darkest Hour on a flight. Felt like they went a little too far with making up stuff unnecessarily, but still loved it.

Caught Isle of Dogs on a midweek date. Very enjoyable movie. I wish I could remember more Japanese, because what I caught added to the humor. Not that I caught much more that could be gathered from tone and context. The little detail stuff like the cats all looking like little evil versions of their masters was great.

Originally posted by pelagius View PostIt's dreadful. I don't generally like comic book movies so you can probably safely ignore my assessment. That said, there is variation in how much I like them. I roughly group them into three tiers: ok/liked, bad, and dreadful. This is definitely a tier three. It's everything that's bad about these movies leveraged to maximum effect.
Avengers Infinity War: Definitely the best of the 'avengers' movies, which I have traditionally disfavored because they were all explosions and punchy shooty. I enjoy most of the actors in this-- lots of humor and the right tone(the always-likable gang from Guardians of the Galaxy, Iron Man, Thor, and Black Panther), and less emphasis on 'special effects', which these days seems like an antiquated term in and of itself (See Justice League for a visual aid of how wrong this could have gone). I was amazed that a comic book movie could be this comic book. Not a comic book nerd making a facsimile of a comic book plot or a neat summary for those not interested in comics, but a nerdy comic movie for comic nerds. They don't waste much time on exposition or character introduction-- they get right into the thick of a comic book plot. If that doesn't sound like your speed, move along. If it does, I don't think this style of movie has ever been this well done."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch!

Zero interest in this one. Pass!"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
