Not feeling it tbh. Looks like a quasi remake of the first like sw episode 7. Too early to say but none of the action sequences from the trailer stands out, one actually looks inspired from inception hallway sequence but with slo mo. 

That’s because of fatigue. Back then the technology and action scenes were unique and not seen in any other movies. We were awed by the production values and didn’t care about the plot. 
 

Like saying if you play resident evil or dead space as a kid, you would need therapy for months. Now you might say that DS Remake is a action and not a horror game.

No longer Day 1.....read the fine print at the end of trailer.

 

Comes to HBO Max after 31 days of theatreatical release.

 

Nah, it says it will be available on HBO MAX for 31 days from theatrical release. It was the same with all the previous WB day one releases.

Shang-Chi was good fun. Nice mix of martial arts and wuxia, the bus fight was dope!  Tony Leung is great in his first Hollywood movie. Dude is a legend of Hong Kong cinema.

 

He was fantastic. Best MCU villain yet as far as performance is concerned

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II confirmed he's playing Morpheus in The Matrix Resurrections. The plot thickens...

Except Neo and Trinity, all are reincarnated in Matrix it seems. And machines try to keep Neo plugged in, so Morpheus etc try to awaken Neo again. Probably by using Trinity's AI. Also, Neo might be in a matrix inside the matrix, judging by the green eyed people attacking him, like some matrix zombies. Oracle has already told that vampires etc are glitched people in Matrix. There are many possibilities, but theme is resurrection. So they are resurrecting Neo.

That would be cool unless they reincarnate him with another actor for sequels, cause we know there have been many chosen ones before Neo.

So Malignant is "out". 

75% on RT, but pretty much everyone seems to agree that it's outrageously insane and over the top. Reading some of these review summaries has got me quite excited.

 

  • James Wan swings for the fences and it pays off big time. Malignant is a bonkers and bloody delight that showcases a multitude of different skills and styles Wan's honed through his horror films over the years.
  • [The film is saved by] a frantic, blood-spattered climax of outrageous action and violence, propelled by a jaw-dropping revelation so ridiculously audacious it must be seen to be believed.
  • Maybe the outrageousness will turn off viewers looking for a more conventional fright flick. Anyone with a taste for the bold, however, will find plenty to admire and enjoy.
  • Malignant is rarely scary, but its outlandish bits likely didn't happen by accident - not when it culminates in scenes so ludicrously over the top that they invite both fist-pumping cheers and wheeze-inducing laughter.
  • I can see it being divisive in some ways, but I'd much rather praise this original horror film for combing a high level of gonzo energy with Wan's flair for inventive imagery.
  • Though the rote storytelling drags down the build-up, Malignant has a twist that I predict will be talked about for years to come in the same breath as Psycho, Sleepaway Camp, The Mist or even Wan's own Saw.
  • Camp horror at its finest, a leaky cauldron of influences that mix into a wild third act as gory as it is unpredictable.
  • None of this is especially scary, but, if you're patient, Wan delivers the kind of hilariously sick climax that only a sadist would spoil. Or envisage.
