I thought the first two were great, but the 3rd one to me was a big let down. Seemed like there was almost no dialogue/story, and just all fight scenes.

I love a good fight scene, but I don't want to watch 2 straight hours of it.

Imma taking it further than you. I didn't see why all the hoopla for the 1st one even, it was alright, that's about it, so for sure the sequels weren't as good as that and I kept thinking 'why make them?' but ofc it's all about the $$$$.

Yeah, look at the comic book movies that are nothing but ideas/dialogue for 5th graders with lots of CGI.

Not really a fan of the John Wick movies but I know others are here so I posted the new trailer for them.

And agree with OkieSnuffBox on the comic book movies. Too many, too much CGI, too dumb. Kid's movies.

Ya, they're for adult kids, not a fan either, not excited for Thor #6 or Spider-man #11, they are all too similar, just 'style' over substance.

Some like them and some don't. We all have our opinions here, and you know what they say...

Saw black panther 2 today, i enjoyed it. Nice tribute to Chadwick Boseman, definitely missed in the MCU. I liked the villain. Feel like there were some things that could've been done a little different but good movie overall.
Referencing earlier posts, ambulance was....meh...i man it was a little exciting but...i dunno... okay movie I guess.
Knives out was a good movie IMO. Looking forward to the sequel.

Agreed. I like the villain much better than Acquaman. Different universes though.

Yes, for adult kids too.

To add to my post above: my son, who is 35, loves Marvel and DC movies. He also loves Disney, Star Wars, LOTR movies, and many more that I can't think of right now.

I respect his opinion and point of view. There are many adults who share his passion. To them, these movies are not dumb at all. I take back calling them dumb, which I did in my post earlier.

I would NEVER call them dumb…to their face

I dunno, I'm not gonna say anymore but that type of movie is definitely not my cuppa tea.

Have you seen this yet?

Love her - she's just incredible, like to see anything she's worked on.

Finally got around to seeing Hell or High Water. I found it to be VERY entertaining and would highly recommend watching it if you haven't already. Bridges performance was perfect and Pine did a pretty damn good job too, but Foster was just incredible.

Lords of the Plains. Many neat little scenes.

Thanks for this – I'll definitely take a look at it, as I've always enjoyed Bridges' work.

I've thought of him as an actor who perfectly fills the space between the always-solid character actors and the stars that come and go. His seven Academy Award nominations across 45 years back that up. He just brings it, every time, even when I don't care at all for the material; e.g., the Big Lebowski.

The recent The Old Man series was remarkably poorly done and didn't reflect either Bridges' nor Lithgow's capabilities at anywhere near their best. It was a real waste of talent, I thought. My 2¢, of course.

In addition, IIRC, Bridges' lymphoma cancer held up production of that series for an extended period of time. Later he said "‘Covid made my cancer look like nothing". I hope we'll see Bridges provide us with his personal brand of entertainment for at least a few more years.

Watched this the other day. Early Jeff Bridges from 1981. He's not the main star. Pretty good, but it's a sad film.

BTW, I liked "The Old Man."

Also, thought "Hell or High Water" was an excellent film.

Hell or High Water was great - also check out True Grit for Bridges - very good.

Since we're in a Bridges lovefest, Bone Tomahawk is pretty unique.

Oh yeah, I thought this was a great movie!

Of course, it's not partial since I'm a big fan of "The Dude."

His role in the remake of True Grit was awesome as well.

I mean as a 40-year old man, I'm technically an adult child, but I still have the mindset of a 20-year old college student. Since the fiance and I don't have children and don't want them.

I've just never gotten into stuff like that.

I like that stuff that's at least tangentially grounded in something close to reality. I have thoughts on why certain people enjoy things like that, but I don't want to get another infraction.

I really enjoy this OT section more than most.

Wait, that's Kurt Russell not Jeff Bridges, plus other good actors. Good movie, btw.

Who doesn't love The Dude?

And yeah, "True Grit," the remake, was a very good movie. I, personally, liked it better than the original, and that's saying something because that was with John Wayne.
