What's the last movie you've seen?

Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness.

I heard it was bad but didn’t expect it to be that bad. It had good ideas and concepts but was poorly executed. The tone and cinematography reminded me too much of early 2000’s action/fantasy/horror TV shows, which I’m not a fan of and personally feels out of date. There was also a few scene that had no logic to it. Heck the whole movie could have not existed if characters acted logically.

I will admit the CGI was fantastic and was surprisingly better than the practical effects in the the movie which came off very fake, so great job on those CGI artists.
 
Spiderman No Way Home. It took a long time to get around to watching it with my sister, but I enjoyed it. It wasn't as good as I thought it'd be with everyone hyping it up, but it was overall still good. I enjoyed it for what it was, but prefer the first movie. Which is normally the case with sequels. Guardians of Galaxy 2 was one of the rare films that was just as good as the first (or so I thought so anyway)
 
Just watched Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and dropped it with 40 minutes of the movie left. It was absolute garbage. I can't remember the last time I dropped a movie like that. The plot was terrible and the movie was given horror treatment which I hated. It blows my mind people rated it so high. I really do believe now people will rate anything with scary elements good even if the rest of it just sucks. I'm passionately angry because never before have I felt this way about a Marvel film. Nothing in those 40 minutes I missed could possibly redeem the movie. It makes me weary of watching the other recent Marvel films I'm behind on.
 
i saw green room (2015), which was very good! the whole punk-band-trapped-in-n*zi-compound works well as a backdrop for a horror movie. the cast was great - i definitely need to see more macon blair movies.

i also saw identity (2003). it wasn't very memorable, and i saw the twists and turns of the story coming a mile away. you can't win every time!
 
i watched most of sing 2 with my friend the other night. let me just tell you all, it was SO AWFUL. like, do not watch it. i already didn't like the first movie very much, but the sequel is just god awful.

the last movie i saw in the theater was top gun: maverick. it was SOOOOOOO good. oh my gosh. i fell asleep watching the original top gun and i didn't like it nearly as much as this one. i'd say you have to watch the original movie in order to understand the contents of this one, but you could also just quickly read a summary and you'd be good to go if you don't have the time. i would definitely recommend it though. ALSO, JENNIFER CONNELLY IS IN IT. i don't know whether she is a good or bad person, but she was sarah in the movie labyrinth that features david bowie!!! i love labyrinth so much, it's such a weird movie but david bowie is in it, and since i am a huge fan i automatically love it, so-

but yes, i have definitely discovered a new hatred for the sing franchise...

I recently watched Gettysburg(1993),a long and epic film about the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War.From what I've read,this is one of the most historically accurate war films ever made.Real Civil War reenactors were used during the battle scenes using actual battle tactics of the era.Needless to say,the battle scenes are graphic and brutal.On the lighter side,this is a great movie for fake beards and mustaches.Some of them looked pretty realistic,some of them not so much.
 
Back in 2000 when I was a teenager I went to see 'Meet the Parents'. I've never been back to the cinema since then. Maybe I'm in the minority but I much prefer to enjoy a movie at home.
Watched 'Hazzard in Hollywood' (2000) recently, not quite the same as the TV series without Boss Hogg and Uncle Jesse but still nice to see the characters again, especially Rosco!
 
I just finished watching Jurassic World: Dominion.

I'm not entirely convinced that it was filmed under the guidance of a script written by human beings.
 
I watched Spirited Away for the first time recently! I really knew nothing about what to expect so I have to say I was caught a little off guard by it 😅 there's some pretty weird stuff going on. Still was fun and I really enjoyed the art style.
 
All of the Fast & Furious movies. I've seen them all countless times, but it's one of those series that I can't help but come back to every once in a while.
 
Watched The Batman in theaters with friends when it came out. At home, last movie I've watched is El Camino with my boyfriend.
 
I watched Tamako Love Story a bit ago. I really liked it, honestly. They have the full length movie on YouTube. I’m not much of a movies person, so I don’t really watch them that often.

The first few minutes of Glory is really brutal. After Gettysburg came out, everyone wanted to be part of the reenactment scene. The events had such huge numbers the following Gettysburg event, only for it to drop considerably in numbers soon after. So many people probably still have their uniforms and gear they bought just for that one event collecting dust in their closet/basement/attic.

I used to do reenactments, but due to the pandemic they've been put on hiatus. By the time they organize them again, the numbers probably won't be there.

Movies like Gettysburg and Glory are great because of their accuracy. Whether through how the soldiers lived, the hardships they endured (why people see this time as romantic is weird) and or how the battles unfolded. A lot of times movies will just try to spice things up and or focus too much on some actor's pretty face and less on historical accuracy. I enjoy films like these due to the camaraderie they show with the soldiers and how they bonded due to these trying times.

I saw Glory in the theater at the time it was released and I liked it a lot.I was watching a YouTube channel where two historians were reviewing movies about the Civil War and both of them liked Glory even though they thought it had a few inaccuracies.I recently bought a copy of Gods and Generals.It was made by most of the same people who made Gettysburg but I remember that it got mixed reviews when it originally came out.Yeah,when a war film is accurate it really adds to the experience.I like it when they use the correct aircraft,tanks,etc. and when the soldiers speak their native languages.
 
Thor: Love & Thunder

I saw it last Thursday (Thorsday 😂) and enjoyed it but I didn't love it in comparison to Ragnarok. However it was nice to watch a Marvel movie that didn't require watching something else from the same studio to fully understand what was going on etc.
 
Today I watched the original Die Hard movie at home. I had never seen it before, only one of the sequels a long time ago. It was a fun action movie, which was all I was expecting from it.
 
Beastmaster-Der-Befreier.jpeg

I watched a fun slice of 80's sword and sorcery cheesecake,The Beastmaster(1982).I remember a lot of movies in the sword&sorcery/fantasy/magic genre were released in the 1980's and I'm pretty sure I went to see every one of them.The Beastmaster was one of my favorites because even though it was just as cheesy as any of those other movies,it had enough unique elements to set it apart from the rest of the lot..........and it had Tanya Roberts running around in a very tiny costume for most of the movie.
