they had me from the start with using one of my all-time favorite songs, Bowie's Cat People (Putting Out Fire) in the opening scene. The fight scenes in this film are amazing. My wife and I are both suckers for films with espionage set in Berlin, so this was right in our wheelhouse!

The answer to this question will determine whether I buy a ticket: do Charlize and Sofia Boutella bump uglies?

Yes, but the film is only R-rated ;)

Excellent music doc. Fascinating film. It said that they recorded The Byrds "Mr Tamborine Man" and a second great early Byrds song in 3 hours. It would take the Byrds themselves weeks to record the remaining songs for the first album. They were the band Brian Wilson used for many of this Beach Boys recordings. Interesting how Mickey Dolenz said that The Monkees used to get hammered as not a real band as they didn't record a certain number of their own hit songs, but as he said many many famous 60s groups' songs were in fact recorded by the Wrecking Crew. Amazing - they recorded literally thousands of (famous) songs and jingles in their hey-day. What I also found fascinating was that some (the Wrecking Crew drummer for example), thought Rock n' Roll and pop was inferior to their favourite types of music (Jazz in the drummer's case I think), which is all the more amazing because his drumming on endless classic Rock N' Roll and pop tracks is still exemplorary!!

When watching this its hard to avoid mixed feelings over the film's subject matter of a incest with a young child, considering the Director's own actions with a 13 year old.

OK so the Hobbit Movies aren't as good as LOTR movies, this one could have 20 mins cut out of it, but there's still a lot to enjoy in this one. Hobbit 2.

This one is better than Hobbit 2. Again lots to enjoy.

Loved it! Been meaning to get to it but just never enough time in the day. I thought it was pretty solid from start to finish, extra points for Ben Foster (a) dropping a "that's what she said!" and (b) saying that only assholes drink Mr. Pibb :D :D :D

Loved the back and forth banter between both the brothers and Bridges and his partner

Jen and I both commented almost simultaneously what an impressive resume Jeff Bridges has compiled.

ETA: nice surprise having a Scott H. Biram song snuck in during one of the casino scenes

Had to see this before it leaves the local theatres for good. A lot is tied together here, making way for the next movie in the series. While it drags a bit in places (as this one mostly takes place in a prison), it's still a relatively quick 2 hrs, 20 mins. Rise set a high standard, which was met with this one and Dawn. None have come close to abysmal Tim Burton reboot or the latter original Apes movies.

I'm not a comic guy, but I really like Cumberbatch, and enjoyed this one. Now that Disney is on board with 4K, I'll probably buy it on disc if/when they issue it.

When this first came out I seem to remember some people didn't know what to make of it. But I thought this was excellent, when I saw it for the first time back in April this year.

The problem with The Revenant is that the camera spends too much time focusing on Leo crawling & suffering. Cut out 30 minutes of that and you have a brilliant piece of cinema.

I actually liked the Burton movie quite a bit, loved every single one of the original movies and couldn't stand the first movie in this series. Oddly, despite not liking that first one, I really thought War for the Planet of the Apes was quite good. Looking forward to this one but I don't get to the theater much anymore so it will have to be at home.

On another note I just saw Wonder Woman the other night and it lived up to the hype. Reminded me some of Captain America: The First Avenger and that was a good thing. Gal Gadot was absolutely terrific.

Cut that out and you have nothing

Other than the stunning look of the film, I was immensely underwhelmed. Absurd that he won Best Actor for that role

There are some movies I prefer to see at the theatre (like this one). Though I'm a diehard Apes fan, I thought the original series lost steam after the third one (Escape). It's been awhile since I've seen the Tim Burton reboot but I recall being disappointed in the letdown of his "surprise" ending. I thought the special effects as far as the apes was on point. I went into Rise being quite skeptical but was blown away with how well it was done.

I loved Wonder Woman as well. I thought it avoided so many of the familiar tropes until the big finale. Perhaps that's unavoidable with a big budget superhero film. Still, it didn't detract from the overall experience. I kept wondering where her invisible plane was having grown up on the Saturday morning cartoon and the live action series but read up on why it wasn't included later on. Thanks to a couple pieces on NPR, I learned a lot about the origin of the comic that I was not previously aware of.

That's a good comparison, I think. The big difference for me is that Captain America was making war on totalitarianism while Wonder Woman was making war on war. He's human and she's something more than, so it makes some sense that she takes on a different order of opponent, and that makes the "war on war" idea more sensible: She's waging superhuman war against another superhuman to end human war. At the human level, though--the one we've been living in since 9/11--we've been waging war on terror. It's been very profitable for folks like Steven Mnuchin, financier, banker, hedge fund manager, Secretary of the Treasury, and executive producer of Wonder Woman.

I've been wrestling with that ever since I saw his name in the credits after the movie, which I genuinely enjoyed and still genuinely like. It had a satisfying good-versus-evil conflict, just like Captain America: The First Avenger and some very funny moments, plus I prefer my doomed lovers get to do it before they're separated forever.

But I still wonder whether there's some other, less wholesome purpose there. The other DC movies have all sounded so bleak and terrible that I haven't gone to see them. It took an invitation to get me to see this one (though I was curious already). I'm wondering how this hero fits into that larger context.

It's so nice to revisit the Marvel-versus-DC conflict of my youth and see the thing that's changed the most is me.

I've seen the other recent DC movies and will continue to but no, they aren't very good. It's perplexing as the DC has a stable of much better characters than Marvel does but the latter has been able to make better movies for whatever reason.
