Movie review thread...

Just watched the latest Bill and Ted movie. What a God awful piece of shit. Another fond memory of my childhood furked over. So so bad.
Well I guess I still have Kobra Kai.

@rancid-schnitzel we watched it over the weekend too, was very surprised at how good its reviews were, it was almost unfollowable

St Elmo's Fire
First time watching this, not sure how I'd not seen this until now.
Bit of a boring film to be honest and on paper I should love it based on the cast but I just didn't. Even the parts that were meant to be moving were just boring. It's basically a really shit episode of Friends, but not funny and not enjoyable.1 and a half breakfast club actors out of 5 stupid group laughs.

It was terrible. My son had to watch Bogus Journey immediately after to “take away the pain”. I got the same feeling watching this as I did watching the latest Ghostbusters. Just a pointless, very badly written film that fails miserably to capture the magic of the originals. That robot and the daughters were particularly terrible. Death is always good value but even his scenes were overly long and unfunny. Alex Winter looked tired but was at least trying. Keanu looked more asleep than usual. Was barely even phoning it in.
What next? A remake of Wayne’s World?

would you put it past mike myers?
i didn;t mind the daughters if im honest, i think it almost could have been better if it was them finding out what their dads had told them was all true etc
the robot...was real bad, could have been funny bad if it had only been a short scene...but it was always there
have to say it was also a bit cringeworthy recasting the wives with noticeably younger actresses

Is Mike Meters desperate for attention? He must be richer than shit with the AP and Shrek franchises. Maybe he’ll come back if Dana Carvey is desperate for cash. Bet that’s the only reason Reeves made the latest abomination, ie to help out his costar who hasn’t worked in 20 years.
Didn’t notice the princesses. The actresses in Bogus Journey were different to the original ones anyway.
With the daughters it would have been much funnier if they were the opposite of B and T rather than unfunny semiretarded imitations. Just didn’t work, but can’t blame the actresses themselves for that.

@rancid-schnitzel yeah, at least when they re cast the last time they were still about the same age as reeves/winter....the new ones look 15-20 years younger, must just have been me

It’s on Binge. Luckily I share a friends login so I can watch it without contributing financially and then complain about it.

Joss Whedon only used 30mins of footage that Synder shot. So we are getting three and a half hours of the footage he originally shot. Only filmed one new scene.
It’s going to be completely different.

Well I share Stan with him, ouch does that technically mean I'm paying for it? Nah, it's ok, I get his Netflix as well so that balances out Stan.

was it that little? i knew there was a lot of unused footage but i thought a lot was also going to be just "remastered" like steppenwolf looks completely different etc
so wheedon came in and shot like and hour and a half more than snyder had originally ?
