I used to be a big movie fan. No more. Between overdone CGI and lack of originality in the plots, there seems to be nothing at the cinema to be excited about. Plus preachy left-wing diatribes ruin any movie.
My mother told me about the excitement in Atlanta when “Gone With the Wind” opened. People were excited to go see “10 Commandments”, “Ben-Hur”, “Star Wars”, “Jaws” and “Jurassic Park”. Not any more.
Avengers: Infinity War, a comic book come to life. You spent $15 to see it.. Reading the comic book took months and possibly more than $15 to read when it was published.
Comic book readers knew when Thanos first appeared how part 2 would be resolved. But we wanted to see it anyway.
In Superman 1978 did you really think Lois would be gone for good?
In 1982s Wrath of Khan that Spock was gone for good?
yes... and how many more times has Thanos done that again. More and more comics with Infinity Stones / Gems. Then the entire Marvel Universe Ended after a huge story line involving many titles and all the characters.
Used be the FF every few years faced Dr Doom but defeated him.
The world faced Galactus every few years but that is over … or is ?...
Holmes & Watson Is Apparently So Terrible It Has a Zero Percent on Rotten Tomatoes
The Sony movie — which wasn’t screened for critics in advance of its Christmas Day release (never a good sign) — was eviscerated by all 20 of its counted reviews as of this article’s publication. Not a single film critic granted Holmes & Watson a positive review, which means it sits at zero percent rotten on Rotten Tomatoes.
I believe Will Farrell’s movie career is close to its expiration date.
Time to warm up the cowbell.

“blockbuster bouillabaisse”
One of the best movie review snarks ever.
Richard Pryor can demonstrate: (Warning: NSFW language)
They sank the Deadpool franchise.
I was shocked to see how bad DP2 was.
Avengers finally killed them off too.
Never heard of any of these, except maybe Wrinkle.
Same here. I don't even tune into what's out there, so this list seems completely alien to me.
Not just the CGI, but the explosive titillations are a huge turnoff for me. They're obviously trying to compensate for something.
That information is actually kind of interesting.
I don't remember it that way.
In fact, I barely remember it all it.
There must have been some crummy, tasteless comedy in there, but the only thing that stays with you is the story of the friends playing their game of tag for years and years.
I'm not saying it was a great or even a good movie.
It was just typical - low typical - but not really the worst.
According to the comments on the video, he is actually an expert and works for a brewery.
I see Moore’s mockumentaries, supposedly at the height of his career, in discount bins at Thift stores for less than a buck.
I would come back a month later and there it was thought.
Along with South Park and. Bill Cosby.
What if any movies did FReepers go to see that were any good this year.
I only remember going to see one. At the behest if my kids. The new “Spider-Man “. It is all animated and visually stunning. I’d recommend it.
I saw Avengers, Jurassic world
