The Lion King
Best movie I have seen in a long long time.
Even knowing the story - and most of the lines - it was still awesome.
Ms boo jr demanded I take her ...
... ok we both wanted to go. Mrs Boo didn't so cool dad-daughter outing. Cool that 16yo didn't mind hanging with embarrassing parent.
Nice to relive one of her staple weekend afternoon baby sitting devices of her childhood.
To be ultra picky I did miss some of my favourite lines ("the monkey's his uncle?"), but enjoyed some of the enhancements (the more sinister hyenas, the line "look at you, you've gained 400lbs since we started this song ...").
Every hakuna out of all the matatas.
Random but coo (imho)l fact after the original came out Hakuna Matata became one of the most popular boat names in the states.

@booboo I liked the 2 hyenas and Rogan as Pumba...I know they all had some comedy in the first one but they did add to it.
I did feel they toned down the whole Mufasa death part though, either that or this theatre had been sucked dry of all the dust...

@sparky The fuck was that...the only positive about that, is that instead of me being 99.9% certain I wont be watching that movie, is now I am 100% certain I will not be watching that pile of catshite.

Looks shit. Holes at blindside and 14, while the midfield is a muddle

Saw Captain Marvel, quite a good watch but one of the weaker Marvel offerings in recent times. 3.5 tesseracts out of 5 kidnapped brainwashed superheroes
Aquaman, enjoyed the film but found the plot lines filled with holes. The mantis guy went down a little easy (is he alive for a potential comeback? ), young Tem looked weird did they CGI him? Amber Heard looked saucy and the final showdown was quite exciting. 3.5 tridents out of 5 trench people

And just to annoy Rancid, Jane Foster confirmed as Thor with Portman. So they are doing the comic sex swap.
For Rancid too...

Looks like it could be very funny. Or the best bits are in the trailer....

Of course they are. With End Game now over the dam will burst. She will no doubt be a lesbian (or possibly trans) poc as well. Actually, on a certain level that would be nice to see, although there are other genres more suited to satisfying those types of interests.
This is so predictable as well. When these new woke films inevitably get poor reviews or bad box office returns, they'll blame the usual suspects. God forbid they actually set out to make the best, most entertaining movies possible.

Ha, too slow. Valkerie is in the film too so there's your poc and gasp she's going to be a lesbian as well

Well I never. There's a surprising twist!

@Rancid-Schnitzel They hinted at it in the last film.
Look, I find it stupid as well, but the key is to include things like this and still have an entertaining film and make it incidental to the plot. It shouldn't be a marketing strategy either.
If they really want to normalise reactions to gay people, or other race representation in movies, then it should just include them and not make a big deal about it.
That means having a good story and an entertaining film. I think Tiaka can deliver that without beating us over the head with woke bullshit.

Fundamentally I have zero problems with it if it's done to enhance the narrative or create a cool character. But if it's all about virtue signalling and being woke first and entertainment second then it's never going to end well.
