I definitely had my issues with it but it was still overall very enjoyable. The biggest complaint is that the exposition just felt extremely force fed and redundant to the point that it became comical but then stale. Nonetheless, I love this franchise and will definitely be revisiting this one again.

Disgusting

Hello I am using Letterboxd again. I liked this movie. Might have missed some movies since the last one I logged, oh well!!

I’m a sucker for this typeofshiii

Watching these before the new Captain movie and this one still holds up extremely well! I seeing it for the first time with my old roommates and being completely blown away. Also very interesting to see how much the characters change from their first time interacting with each other vs the later movies, just gonna make those even better!

Wow, I can't believe I totally forgot to log this. Saw this the same night as The Brutalist, what a fucking insane double-feature btw lmao. Anyway, seeing this in theaters was incredible. I think I mentioned in my first review how much I would have loved to see this on the big screen so of course I jumped at the first opportunity to do so. The crowd we watched it with was absolutely wild—seemed like a lot of people were really enjoying themselves (maybe one guy behind us a bit too much, but how can you really get mad at someone for being so happy lol). The Wachowski Sisters really knocked it out the park with this one and it's such a cinematic treat for any movie lover.

An absolute powerhouse of a film and one of the easiest 5-star ratings I’ll ever give—there’s no convincing me otherwise. Despite its lengthy runtime, the movie grips you from the very beginning and never lets go. If not for the 15-minute intermission during my screening, I would have stayed completely immersed in its breathtaking visuals and lifelike performances. Truly a must-watch!

goddamn! this was fucking so emotional and depressing at times. lynch really did such a good job of making a sweet, tender movie that takes you through all the feels. so different than the other things i’ve seen on his but still a gem in its own right. rip david lynch—a true legend.

watching these again before brave new world and I gotta say this one is such a banger! feels so tonally different than the what would eventually become of the mcu but really hits all the right beats and resonates with the later movies too

I dunno I guess it’s kinda fun in a campy sort of way. Feels so fucking rushed tho

Better on second (or third idk) watch for sure! Love
the games but never really grew up watching the movies so there’s a bit of a disconnect for me there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Iconic as ever

Unironically Quentin Tarantino’s best role!

Filth and I love it

Watched it in IMAX. If I could give it se7en stars, I would.

HOLY SHIT!

Sylvester Stallone is so sad in this 🥺

This hit way harder than it should have. Was not expecting to be catapulted back into a chasm of nostalgia. Incredibly well done and sweet.

Okay yeah this one is sick

This movie is so shit

Prepare to be entertained is the fucking tagline on Letterboxd? Hell yeah! I was, truly. Felt like a brainless serf at one of these coliseum fights with nosebleed seats (except I wasn’t because i’m a 21st century dude seeing this shit in IMAX), but you get the picture. Was it over the top? Yes. Did you have to suspend disbelief for 80% of the movie? Yes. Was I entertained? Absolutely!!

Woops I keep forgetting to log shit 😭

Anyway, I thought this was pretty good, not the best M. Night but one of his more creative and entertaining movies i’ve seen recently. Of course my boy Josh carried the whole way through and i’m so glad to see him back in the limelight again

Obnoxiously late to log this but hell yeah it’s the best

A little behind on my logs but goddamn, this was so fucking good, Jesus Christ. Maybe in my top 5 now? Top 10 at least. David Lynch, I love you, you little freak ❤️

Absolutely terrifying

Simply the best from beginning to end.

This is just too iconic to not give 5 stars.

I predicted the ending like a modern day Nostradamus

This is easily one of my new favorite John Carpenter movies for sure. The premise seems silly af but it’s done so well and the characters actually keep you really invested. I love Arnie’s arc so much it’s obnoxious but so chaotic that it’s hard not to at least smile haha.

Peak cinema

RIP Anton 💚

No one will understand the amount of influence Midnight's Child had on the world

Not as memorable or iconic to me as the rest of em but regardless it still felt oddly familiar and unique. I guess my biggest issue with it is that it doesn’t really feel like it has a unique sense of identity. The writers were still going for a semi-serious approach that doesn’t land very well but at the same time, it doesn’t fully lean into the camp yet. I dunno, could be better.

Still holds up really well the second time and in general holds up really well to today’s standards

Pure CINEMA!!!

I watched this, but I cannot rate it. Definitely gotta rewatch it again to know what the FUCK is going on lol.

Shrek and Ween

It’s simply impossible to not love this movie

Woulda been a lot cooler if Vince Vaughn was the main psycho

I’m not crying 🥲

Okay holy shit. I dunno why but I had kinda mediocre expectations for this, I didn't watch Men but I heard less than great things about it, and I need to rewatch Annihilation to give it a better chance --but I thought Alex Garland was in a dud era maybe. Anyway, this was actually pretty good and breathed some life back into my expectations of Garland's movies. I don't even know what to say about it other than shit was bleak af but goddamn was it really good!

CINEMA

Uhhhhhhhh what the actual fuck. I dunno, I need to watch this again, it was like kinda draining but not in a bad way, just like in a really mentally active type of way. Will probably appreciate it even more on a second watch but there was a ton of stuff I liked about it. Check back in with me later.

I fucking love The Velvet Underground and god damn this just reinforced that feeling 1000 times over. Todd Haynes casually just made one of the best music documentaries ever. Seriously a must watch for any slightest remote fan of VU.

4th review of this but idgaf because I saw it in theaters and it was amazing

Fuck! This shit is incredible and so underrated. Had it come out like a year or two earlier and not coincide too much with the release of The Matrix, I think it would have been way more successful. Granted, it is a bit more heady than The Matrix, and lacks the spectacle/eye candy that set that apart but the concepts are all there and this just feels so bleak in comparison. I absolutely love the world that Alex Proyas created in this, it feels so isolated and purposely fabricated that you know that it can only exist in a film like this. The performances were great, Kiefer was a bit exaggerated, but it's Kiefer so you gotta give him a . Definitely worth checking out (with an open mind)!
