I was already against this when I saw the runtime, but it ended up being one of the more enjoyable entries with less outrageous cgi sequences and more close-quarters tension.  When it does go for the absurd it does it knowingly and with humor.

Giving this movie a BBB rating (Big, Broad, & Boring), just like Henry Cavil’s punchable face.  What happened to the tense and suspenseful action/thriller direction from the previous film?

Oh damn, this one is actually good.

I made a mistake committing to watching these, I’m beginning to think Phillip Seymour Hoffman was the only thing this franchise has to offer me.

To paraphrase every letterboxd review of this: Phillip Mother Seymour Fucking Hoffman.

20th Anniversary Director’s Cut theatrical rerelease.

Most of y’all have been sleeping on this fucking excellent film and it shows.  Thank christ I got the opportunity to watch it on the big screen.  #Blessed #God’sWill

Not mad about watching it again

Smart and richly detailed humanist film about animals.  Republicans will ban this.

Probably hit better in 2002.

Indoctrination success.

A not subtle film about trauma and depression that is elevated by its very game cast.  Really makes Brave New World look like garbage.

See it in a Dolby theater if you can.  This is the real deal.

Books > Brutes.

Pro-academia, anti-war.

Plays like a really intense episode of an Iraq War version of Band of Brothers.  Authentic, horrific, graphic, necessary - only recommend to those like me who feel they have a duty to subject themselves to this kinda thing.

Masterpiece

I was under the impression this was supposed to be a very bad film, but turns out it kicks ass.  Zoobilee Zoo gone wild.

Fun movie, but how much better would it have been with practical effects and animatronics instead of mid cgi….

Feels like a glorious relic time-warped from the 90’s thanks to the impressive restraint on cheeky modern references while being fully committed to real full-throttle looniness.

I don’t care for it, tbh.

An achievement.

A top film, even on a full screen vhs. Top. Film.

I have now seen a Mission: Impossible.  Guess I’m gonna watch 7 more of these.

Feels like an essential milestone in the evolution of cinematic witches and demonic possession.  Also, it’s good.

Love those House vibes of the third act.

Underrated fantastic film.

This kicks ass.

Watched on Friday February 28, 2025.

Scream rip-off with a rom-com twist that leans into the silliness a bit too hard, but it does have it’s moments.

Arkasha Stevenson is not fucking around.  But like, when’s the next film coming, Arkasha?!

You’re not even a swinging dick.

Didn’t come together in the end, but was a fun watch.  Spooking the kids with a Jar Jar Binks impression is the next hot thing.
