@Nepia saw Jurassic World today, enjoyable film!
Some nice nods to the original, even more so with some of the original cast.
Some cliched moments, but adds to it, guess the door is open for another.
3.5 did you guys not learn from the last time out of 5 nope, that Steve Jobs looking mofo done learned nothing!
I am a fan of Bryce Dallas Howard, DeWanda Wise looked pretty sexy too.

It's getting panned too, which I find strange, especially in comparison with the second one.
Agree with all your points.
I also saw another movie getting panned - Lightyear. I just thought this was a fun space movie and then I hear it's ruining Toy Story's legacy.
TBH I didn't even think of it as a Toy Story movie, to me it was just a movie about a character who was made into a toy. Maybe it's because I'm not a Toy Story absolutist, I really like 1 and 2, but I fell asleep during 3 (for reasons unrelated to the quality of the movie) and have never finished it so conversely haven't seen 4.
3.5 Taika's in everything from Disney these days out of 5. -

The Commando
Headline: This is a bad movie.- There's a whole lot in this that just doesn't make sense.
- Fuck, the title doesn't even make any sense. There's not a single "Commando" in the entire movie.
- The protagonist is a DEA agent, with an unspecified military background. (To be fair - the way the DEA goes about their business in the opening scene was much more like a Special Forces op in an overseas country with 'extreme-prejudice'/zero-fucks-given, than a domestic law enforcement agency).
- The antagonist also has an unspecified military background, but is certainly not a "Commando". In his opening scene, sure - he beats up multiple prison-yard thugs. But in the "climactic showdown" - doesn't even attempt to throw a single punch.
- Tit-watch: zero.
- Worth watching for: to see the state Mickey Rourke has gotten himself into. My first thought on seeing him in this was: if Doom Patrol was being re-cast, they could get Mickey Rourke to play Rita Farr, the woman who dissolves into an elasti-blob - and save money on the special effects.
- Least annoying characters: the teenage daughters' breasts
- Most annoying character: the hyperactive scotsman. CONSTANTLY going "yeah, let's just fucking do it. Let's go. Let's do it now... let's get on with it." Including in the fucking afternoon, knowing that it's a night-time job.
1 over-done PTSD flashback done to death, to draw out the run-time; out of 5 "extra"-level henchmen appearing out of nowhere, to just get killed.

Hustle with Adam Sandler. Actually not bad. Sandler is a good actor when he's not just phoning it in.
