If they can tell a good story without Shredder, it's a win. Turtles is one of those series with a great gallery of rogues like Batman or X-Men, but they always have to revert to the obvious which gets really old.
CG movie was great, so underrated. It really showed the tension between Raph and Leo. The 1990 movie really only scratched the surface of that.
What did they do to April? It's hard to tell from the trailer, but it just appears she's a younger version of herself (so cadet reporter/senior school paper journalist), kind of like the turtles.
I loved Get Out....and Us I disliked so much I didn't see Nope.
Same. But for me, Us is most layered. I've read a bunch of articles about the meanings of each one, but it's Us that's got me still thinking.
Why the dislike?
Get Out was amazing. Us I liked and enjoyed as well. Haven't seen Nope yet.
I found all the characters, actors, dialogue, script, just unappealing.
Fair enough. I thought the slightly dysfunctional dynamic of both Nyong'o's family and her friends' family came off well. I think the horror stuff didn't hit as well as Get Out because it wasn't as focused. In trying to make multiple social allegories, Peele's attention to the horror plot itself in this particular story became diluted. Still, the twist ending made me question everything that came before and also created some plot holes but Peele has said before that his creations are intended to be interpreted differently by everyone.
M. Night can still do a decent movie. Old was ok. My problem was I absolutely hated the casting/characters. Couldn't really root for anyone other than the nurse dude.
I haven't seen Succession but, having worked at a golf club, I can confirm that many of the excessively wealthy are essentially less charming versions of the Bluths from Arrested Development
Alice in Borderlands I've heard is pretty similar to Squid Game. Did you like it?
