this movie is deeply hilarious to me because Nerd Fans are trying to bill it as like, misunderstood and ambitious in relation to critics calling it poorly thought out and a waste of money + time
It can be both things and usually is
Except for the misunderstood part, if youâre trying to capture a wide audience and you donât give proper grounding to things, you deserve to be shut out by those not in the know
hmm
by trying to bill it as âmisunderstood and ambitiousâ in the fan reviews ive read though: they usually mean it in a way that is: throw out all criticisms of this movie and enjoy it because We Need This To Be Good To Prove That Videogames Are Art(?) or even worse, the Ignore Any Criticisms Of THis MOvie That Do Not Come From The Videogamers Because This Is A Movie Only For True Gamer
Well, neggy is a true believer and he tore the movie apart for being bad and breaking canon, so
the bigger they are the bigger a target their dick presents for your blade or so I have heard

They canât be but so big seeing as Garona heavily implies sheâs been raped multiple times and sheâs the size of a normal human lady
Orcs are like Michelangeloâs David
The opening cutscene of their 2006 game looks better than this movie.
Iâm honestly angrier that there wasnât an Overwatch short in front of the movie than the movie being bad (which was a foregone conclusion).
Blackhand even grabs his dick for like four seconds after this happens so you know what went down just in case you didnât get that the sword hit him in the dick
Guldan even gives him super powers shortly before this fight for some reason, which amount to nothing. He also calls him warchief, which in the context of the movie makes no sense at all since guldan himself is firmly established as the warchief. It only happens because blackhand was the warchief in Real Warcraft and now they know that you know that they know
Gulâdan shooting Blackhand up with fel was hilarious because he just does it out of nowhere and explains what heâs doing so we can follow along. Almost as funny as the realization that Doomhammer spends the whole second (of two) battle standing over Durotanâs corpse, mostly so he can grab a tusk for Moses

Apparently that flick completely smashed box office records in China. What a mysterious land.
Meanwhile shit Iâd never seen more than bits and pieces but Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is kinda fuckinâ weird! Nobody has a stereotypical western accent! Thereâs a lengthy, still-image travel montage set to jaunty music that almost feels like it should be a video presentation in a museum! It also ends in a hilariously abrupt manner, or at least the part thatâs funny is they unceremoniously send off the Lady (who decides she wants out for reasons??) and then like 10 minutes later the movie ends.
But I will say Newman and Redford had some really good chemistry, they had a good buddy cop dynamic which made the whole thing very watchable.

Not that mysteriousâWoW is huge in China and East Asia in general, and most every special effects laden blockbuster epic does super well there anyway. Iâm pretty sure the Chinese market is how Warcraft got made into a movie in the first place.
Can confirm, the credits have a bunch of Chinese companies listed as producers (not counting Legendary, who are also owned by Chinese interests), including internet supergiant Tencent, who funnily enough happen to own Blizzard.

i forget, @Ni_Go_Zero_Ichi did you see Hail, Caesar yet? I finally got around to watching it (on a plane) and it surprised me both by being narratively kind of mediocre but visually very fun. It is definitely a minor work, but way more appealing and funny than most of their other recent comedies have been (ok, telling the difference between genres with some of their movies is definitely hard, but this one is definitely a comedy).
in spite of it being overall a really light and mostly forgettable movie, itâs also a movie about hollywood in the 50âs that makes fun of the film industry communists relentlessly, which is pretty interesting i guess? idk.
also, the whole thing is basically about a devout catholic facing a crisis of faith and a moral quandary, the solution to which is the bold decision to continue to work as a fixer for a greedy film studio which is itself funnier than any single scene in the entire movie. i think it is already a better movie about unbridled american capitalism in the post-war years than the upcoming biography of ray kroc will be.
Throne of Blood was better than Ran. But still feel like it lost itâs way. Again the J-dialog is nothing to write home about. If Iâm being honest with myself and the world I definitely feel like THE JAPANESE HAVE ADAPTED SHAKESPEARE is some real weeaboo-ism and neither approach great film making. I just donât see what people see in 90% of Kurosawa films. Itâs competent film making for the time and suddenly you add BUT HEâS JAPANESE AND NOT RESPECTED FOR HIS GREATNESS IN HIS HOME COUNTRY.
I also hate Ozu, but I get Ozu. Tokyo Story is just so saccarine and âyeah duhâ but I get it.
I also watched The Haunted Strangler which is old film boring but I laughed when I first saw this and have laughed every successive time I have watch it. Hopefully the time stamp works.
I have 24 films left on my Criterion Hulu queue.
I donât know about the stat breakdown but I am in it for the firery Mifune takes and dope shots.
