Toy Story 1 - many of those toys were recognizable to me as a kid.

Toy Story 2 - hot garbage relative to Toy Story 1.

Toy Story 3 - way better than 2.

Toy Story 4 - idk havent seen it yet. Do kids even play with those toys anymore?

Unpopular opinion: Coco is the 4th best Disney (pixar?) cartoon ever.

Aladin, Lion King, and Toy Story are off limits, IMO.

I'm talking "best" not favorite. But Coco has incredible imagery, the music is great, the characters are really good, and the plot is something you can actually watch with kids and enjoy.

I haven't seen Coco but a recent-ish Disney movie that I felt this way about was Princess and the Frog.. loved the throwback animation, the music and themes and such... the story was obviously retread but I still really enjoyed it all told.

Coco was a pretty decent movie. I felt it was an overall creative concept, even if the "going home" story line was less than original.

Dakota gets it.

Coco was great, not sure I would put it at 4 tho

Coco scared by 5 yr old daughter and worried my 7 yr old son. Wimps lol.
Skip the newest Hellboy. Waste of time.

For some reason, caught myself not being able to turn off The Equalizer with Denzel Washington. He was amazing in the movie.

Equalizer 2 is pretty decent as well. I've always liked Denzel as an actor, going all the way back to his days on TV in St. Elsewhere. If he's in a movie, I'll watch it.

57 year old fighter pilot reflexes.


Tom Skerritt was actually 47 in Top Gun. Michael Ironside was 36. Cruise was 24.

 

[ACamp1900]

He should have just been Skerritts character all this time, it’s how the last movie basically ended anyway. Having him still be this rouge pilot all these years later seems stupid.

This rouge pilot would have been forced out of service by now and earning his living crop dusting.

Basically... there would be nothing wrong with him being an instructor all these years and now he has to train a young wildcard that is just like he was. That would be a good enough story and make freakin sense. Instead they are having him STILL being an active fighter pilot who all of a sudden mentors Goose's son (who would be about my age for crying out loud)... I want SO BAD to get excited but the premise alone looks whack.

 

[Xtra point]

Sounds more like a Bruce Willis type of plot.

 

[irishnd31]

It just looks so much like the first that I think it's tough to get up for it.
Cruise on a motorcycle riding along side a jet.
Spinning a ball on the hand.
Singing at the piano bar.
Hell, I was waiting for Ghost Goose to do some Jedi apparition cameo.
And for the love of God, I hope that Kilmer is retired at this point.

No, Iceman is back,... it was confirmed somewhere that he's in it. I think he's even shown in the trailer if you look closely...

Really? Kilmer, today, does not look up to doing anything other than lay in bed and I'm not making fun by any means. Dude just looks ill.

 

[Xtra point]

He's pretty far from Batman now. I still can't believe the new choice. I must be missing something.

 

[irishnd31]

Just read that he has been battling throat cancer. That's sad.

I think he confirmed it himself and actually campaigned to make sure Iceman is in it. He's also listed in IMDBs film page. Who knows tho...

 

[Xtra point]

Iceman should only be in it if they revamp Top Gun and follow Cobra Kai storyline.

Saw Lion King tonight. It was better than I expected having seen some of the early reviews and RT score.

Visually it's incredible. This is the most realistic CGI of all time. There were points where I was looking closely to try and decide if the whole thing was animation or if some of it was shot footage with CGI characters over top and I honestly couldn't tell.

It being so unbelievably realistic was almost a drawback though. I think the film would have been better served to go with more of a Rocket Raccoon approach. What was presented basically looks like dubbed nat geo footage. The problem being that the animals don't emote as much as they should and it makes much of the dialogue seem wooden.

Beyonce is terrible. Can we please stop casting her in anything. Her voice acting was pathetic and her singing might be even worse. She absolutley butchered Can You Feel the Love Tonight, and the new song they added simply to give Beyonce a solo stuck out like a sore thumb.

Overall it was decent. I think I enjoyed it more than Aladdin. It doesn't hold a candle to the original. 6.5-7/10?

 

[ACamp1900]

B is in LK? I might have just decided not to see it.

Yeah she plays Nala. Though they might as well have just called the character Beyonce.

Watched Hotel Mumbai last night. Very solid. Still can't believe how nutless the Indian police were.

Midsommar. Good but so so weird.
