Movies! The movie thread

Watched "Black Panther" last night. What's up with all the hype? On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a five. Not as good as the Thor movies, but it's as good or if not better than the Iron Man movies.

I barely got through it, I liked the Iron Man franchise way better. And correct me if I'm wrong but I think they killed the Black Panther off in the last Avenger's movie.

Overlord last night.

That was a highly entertaining movie. It has its very frustrating moments though.

Double feature day: Upgrade. Wow, I really liked it. Very slick movie with a unique approach to the man machine theme. I don’t want to say anything more because I don’t want to ruin it.

Black Panther is a terrible movie based off the 15-20 minutes of that I watch right before I turn that garbage off. I rarely turn movies off regardless of how terrible they are. Some of my favorite all time films are just terrible. Case in point, I watched Big Trouble in Little China last night for the 50th time. I have tried to watch Black Panther 4 times now and I just can't do it. It seems like a massive waste of time to me. I'd rather watch an infomercial, at least these people realize the acting is expecting to be shitty. There is nothing more painful than watching someone attempt to act out a terribly written script with all the conviction that they will receive a multitude of awards for....oh....wait, somehow this movie received a shit ton of awards.

Black Panther is damn unwatchable and my condolences to anyone who wasted their time, writing, directing, filming, acting, assisting with production or the poor movie goes that actually sat through it.

I want no part of watching it either.

Big trouble in Little China is great! For me, it's a "comfort" movie, but I greatly enjoy it every time I watch it. Kind of like "The Thing" (John Carpenter also).

I don't know if I have top five but here are some of my favorites:

Dr. Strange Love
2001 Space Odyssey
Patton
Spartacus
Top Gun

TXSTYLE · 02-11-2019, 11:27 AM

Folks can HATE on Black Panther all they want! The $$$$$$ don't lie though.

It was a VERY entertaining film from start to finish. And as a "Comicbook/Superhero Movie" it delivered... Period!

Interesting selection. I have not seen Dr. Strange Love but I need to. I'll not form of an opinion based off of the redeeming movies you posted above. Carry on.

We saw Cold Pursuit Friday night, wife's choice. I could easily have waited until it came to FX or something on TV.
