I thought it was pretty enjoyable for the most part (I'd give it an 8 out of 10), but yes, there are definitely some scenes that aim to please the fans. As shown in the trailer, they've brought back some characters from previous Spiderman movies and this movie elaborates on those character arcs. For fans of the previous Spiderman movies, I think No Way Home will be a treat. I'll leave it at that.sooooo, the critics are mostly giving spider man no way home good reviews, but theres a lot of talk that its pretty much just fanservice and not much else.
Has anyone here seen Matrix Resurrection yet? If so, can you let me know if someone who liked episode 1 but disliked episodes 2 and 3 is going to be a fan of it? Reviews so far have been mixed.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THIS THING IS DOG SHIT!
Not only is it blatant nostalgia-milking, but the jokes are all meta upon meta upon meta. The self-awareness is mind numbing. And its not clever, its just really god damn irritating. That along with all the incredibly blunt symbolism makes watching this a chore, not a pleasure.
Some symbolism not as blunt. Like neil patrick harris and his blue glasses, as he obviously represents the blue pill philosophy.
Of course, just 5 minutes earlier they were doing actually red and blue pills, and meta/self-aware jokes about the pills, which again, were not clever just annoying.
This fucking film is a chore. I'm glad I didnt drag my ass to a movie theater for it.
The Kings Man is set to open today, alongside the remake of West Side Story.
Dune is still playing in 130 theaters. People love it.Holiday theater counts: three wide releases debut today, but Spider-Man remains widest - The Numbers
As the Christmas holiday approaches, there are plenty of options for movie-goers. The only question is what to watch? Spider-Man: No Way Home opened lastwww.the-numbers.com
Some scenes? The movie was a nostalgia bomb. The entire thing was fan service. And it often worked, as long as you don't think about the actual plot.I thought it was pretty enjoyable for the most part (I'd give it an 8 out of 10), but yes, there are definitely some scenes that aim to please the fans.

He's talking about the new Matrix. I could have told him that without watching the film lol.
Good god it was all terrible.
The whole thing is an allegory/metaphor/meta-commentary on the Matrix franchise and its fans and its actors (most of the first half is obvious references to Keanu Reeves being pigeonholed as "that matrix guy"). And none of it is funny or clever. That scene of overly cynical millennial d-bags talking in the office was especially annoying. They were clearly quoting message board posts from the early 2000's when the movies were still fresh and cool. I think the Wachowskis believe they would deflect the obvious accusations of nostalgia-milking by addressing it head on, but it just comes across as obvious and unimaginative. I can see why only a handful of actors bothered to come back.
And Neil Patrick Harris seems to be the most self-aware. His ham and cheese performance as the villain and copy of the Architect is full of sarcasm and cynicism. Its both the most sarcastic and most genuine performance at the same time. Kinda funny. But also tiresome.
Oh, as far as the actual plot goes, they just copy story beats and action sequences from earlier films, but poorly. Its not entertaining at all.
If you like feeling nostalgia for movies and also like having that nostalgia rubbed in your face, go stream it. Not worth a trip to the theater, in my opinion.
The OG Matrix didn't suck. If you disagree: fuck off .What? You haven't watched any Wachowski brothers/sisters flick yet? They were all like this. always. Accept it, then get on with it? I guess you finally realized why they all kinda sucked?
Check again. It's part of your prime subscription.I see you can rent it on Amazon, but I don't know anywhere it is a part of a subscription. I have all of Hitchcock's films on DVD, I might have Rear Window on Blu-ray.
No, Grace Kelly does not do any nudity in it, she plays the main characters girlfriend, not one of the girls in the windows. The best you get from her is a scene where she wears a silk nightie.
One of the great storytelling skills that Hitchcock perfected is to imply things that are not shown. In this show all of the nudity is implied. The most direct implication is we see Ms. Torso's back (played by Georgine Darcy (I had to look that one up)) as she puts on a shirt, implying that our protagonist saw her getting dressed.
I was talking about Rear Window. It is on Amazon, but they want 3.99 to watch it. Not a bad price on it's own, but I refuse to pay a subscription fee and then be asked to pay a per view fee on top of it.Check again. It's part of your prime subscription.

There is free source for some Amazon pay movies called Tubi. It has commercials but I have to go to the bathroom anyways.

Just imagine if Blockbuster had charged you to walk in the door and then again to rent any of the DVDs. That is how Amazon do.
Actually, I was kind of like that with the first, and haven't seen the others.Watched the latest Matrix last night... and the whole time I was like:
