I thought it was awesome!! Holy smokes it was nonstop action beginning to end. Watching it in AMC Prime was nuts!!

Incredibly boring. Needs more action. Haha. Jk.

I loved it! Probably going to watch it again in the theater at some point.

I caught myself smiling at the screen a few times like a little kid.

Same! I’ll probably go watch it again before it leaves theaters.

There’s a post credit scene in case you missed it. I just found out about it. Missed it the first time but will stick around the next time I watch the movie.

I did not know that! It was getting late so I left right after. Will stay for it next time. Thanks for the heads up!

Imma be in the minority, thought that John Wick was alright, not sure why everyone was going nuts about it. Then the sequels, watchable, but that's about it.

I posted above about JW4 making so much money on it's opening weekend, but TBH, I didn't love them either. Just posting what I read in the news.

Ripley had to survive to continue with the series, shame about the others and detonating the iron ore transporter ship wasn't her finest hour.

Just as silly as the first two, but they were youngsters then and could get away with acting that way. Overall I thought it was dumb and I don’t recommend it.

Watching this now, there's an armed traitor in the mountain lodge..

I thought the first one was great, the second was alright, the third one was like meh.

Me too, but I love action and Keanu, so I'm in for the 4th one.

Esteban · 03-28-2023, 12:24 PM

^ I'll probably watch it when it comes to my TV for free.

From just watching the last Bill and Ted all I can see is Keanu playing Ted Logan.

M5Rick · 03-28-2023, 04:58 PM

Bad Company. Rock rocks in this one.

tranquility · 03-29-2023, 01:48 AM

Plane by Gerard Butler. Go in blind like I did, great action flick. Oh, worst flight EVER lol.

Tend to agree.
First decent.
Sequels watchable, but not great.
Will watch the 4th, because, why not.

Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend, not a bad watch for car lovers.

Funny you mention this. I had the house to myself for a few hours yesterday and thought I might watch this and then saw the reviews that called it "unwatchable". I suspect car people might enjoy it though. Next time my bride is away I might cue it up and see if it's watchable.

No, ironically, I suspect that the 'typical' car ppl will *not* like it because it doesn't focus as much on the cars as some may have liked. However, I was ok w that as they tried to focus more on the person (it's also a short film just being over 1.5h and I would've liked to have seen more).

It's not a great film but it was definitely watchable. Some ppl were comparing it poorly to Ford vs Ferrari and I thought that it was an unfair and silly comparison. As we all know, there isn't the usual struggle-leading-to-triumph movie arch as this was based on real-life and ofc while Lamborghini made his mark, he didn't really topple his Modena rival.
