I have finally done it. I ventured to a movie theatre to watch Top Gun Maverick. First theatre experience since The Last Jedi.
Top Gun Maverick is fantastic and well worth seeing on a theatre screen. No regrets. Went with my father and there were roughly 10 other people in the theatre with us.
I hope it wins a cinematography Oscar so people can call it an Oscar winning movie.
The people calling it the what movie they've ever seen definitely need to see more movies, but it's a damned fine theater experience.

I always laugh at how incredibly avoidable everything in that film is. In fact, it would have been less effort to just leave him alone. They went out of the way to be huge dicks

Just saw it today. Noticed the same thing. Really enjoyable flick, a bit ridiculous that Cruise looks younger than most people in the movie lol.
feels like a Goodfellas sort of night...not sure what i want to follow it up with..

Second vote for heat. One of the all time greatest shooting sequences in a movie.

Are you trying to win the guy on the left or the right?

I heard it was straight up trash and an embarrassment to the original material

It’s bad. I’m hate watching it, and made the mistake of falling asleep while doing so. I have no idea how many episodes I have to backtrack. Not much about the show is memorable.

So, just like the movies?
It's funny that after so many tries they still can't make a good movie/series of that game. Maybe they should just stop.

It's been a while since Michael Mann made a good movie. Collateral was great, but that was 18 years ago.

I remember reading an interview with Dan Houser once about how he was often asked to make a GTA movie.
He said something like "why would I make a movie? It's so limiting," which makes perfect sense. A movie is such an inferior experience if you're coming from the game.

Absolutely. A GTA movie would probably just be a generic heist movie trying to cash in on the name.

SELL THE DAMN TEAM
FWIW, my Mt Rushmore of films
Casablanca- the script, the acting, the timing, the everything; it’s a perfect film
Seven Samurai: Kurosawa’s masterpiece is a must see for all film lovers, it’s absolutely riveting
12 Angry Men: IMO, the greatest script of all time and delivered by some of the best in the business. Every performance in this film is pure perfection
The Godfather: Coppola nailed this one. The journey of Michael from the straight and narrow to ruthless mafia boss is one of the finest character arcs in the history of film. And when you add to that the performances of actors like Brando, Duvall and Caan, it just doesn’t get any better

Not really. I even found the Duncan Jones movie Warcraft boring and I usually like his movies.

just finished it. It’s so bad. Jade splashes the pheromone at their and her feet but the zombies are not attracted to her. Billie gets injected with the adrenaline then used the same needle to stab the med tech in the eye and slash Evelyn in the face but neither one become infected. The giant croc decides to crash their boat but not eat either of them?
This whole show seems like they wrote it for the CW and we’re turned down but picked up by Netflix. It seems like it’s geared towards young adults but has portions of the show that young adults technically shouldn’t be watching.

I really hate that the original movie had a script written for it by George Romero and they decided to go in the direction they did instead.
On the topic of game movies, the only one I can think of that I enjoyed was Real Steel.
