Yeah, right. Based on a very well-known game series.

Ah, never mind. I took a look because of ELEVATORPRAKOSMOS.

I thought it was because of the furries. If you want a good, cartoonish sci-fi, check out "Rick and Morty" (it's somewhat similar in spirit to Futurama). Bravest Warriors might also be worth a look. But those are TV series.

Stop messing around, I don't like furries that much.

I was actually serious about that.

"Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets."

I never thought I'd go to the cinema, but something made me do it. I decided to go to a random movie and ended up watching this one. What can I say? At first, I saw some boy hugging a girl and thought about leaving. But then it turned out to be SCIENCE FICTION. The gist: a general destroyed an entire planet and decided to cover it up. However, the inhabitants of that planet didn't like it. Lots of various trash of varying degrees of severity, a mandatory modest kiss at the end, despite the abundance of half-naked bodies, Rihanna, who somehow ended up there. Later it turned out that the movie was based on a comic book from 1967, and the actors are married. It's probably worth watching only for the visuals.

4 out of 10.

I agree. I watched it just two days ago. Besides the special effects, there's nothing to see. Too much unnecessary stuff and a banal plot.

What I've been watching lately...

"Moana." A typical Disney cartoon, yes. The premise is interesting, the main character is average, but the secondary character I really liked. And she sings well, too. Well, and the ending is... It could have been better, although there is something interesting about it.
I'll explain about the main character with spoiler tags. In short, everything comes too easily to Moana,
I saw some kind of hint of a Mary Sue. All the obstacles are very "conditional." Well, and the hand-held water elemental – with something like that, even I could save the world.
7/10. +1 point for you, Maui. Because you are magnificent.

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." I didn't expect anything from the movie except to see with my own eyes the trendy memes of the time. Well, that is, not trendy anymore... Oh, well. The point is, I was wrong. The first half of the film is surprisingly interesting detective cinema. Not in the sense that there are unexpected twists and villains unknown in advance, but in the intrigues that unfold, how the motivation of people is shown. Almost everyone is shown to be weak to some extent. And this is really pleasing, because spherical characters are tiring, you can go to Disney cartoons for them. To the point that they often act in a terribly illogical way. But... people are really like that. But the motivations are traceable.
With the exception of Luthor. This guy really just looks like a patient from a mental hospital, unfortunately. He left me with a completely different impression in other DC works.
Well, and the end of the film is a brawl in the best traditions of comic book films, as we all love. Of course, I think this part is weaker, but on the other hand, after such a long film, a break is objectively needed.
9/10

I recently watched Moana, by the way. I liked it, although the villains in the film are strange. Tamatoa is amusing, but he's only in one scene. And the "main antagonist" is only present in the finale, also in just a couple of scenes. Regarding the white text:
The ocean helps her very selectively, actually. By the way, we don't get any answers to the question "why." I can say the same about Maui, by the way. Why didn't he try to fly from the other side, where Te Kā wasn't standing? He could have easily done it; it would have been quite possible for him. Yes, he wouldn't have found Te Fiti there, but that's just a detail. However, I don't agree with the "Mary Sue" aspect. Well, the ocean helps her occasionally, yes. But what else? She mainly differs in her strength of character. Otherwise, she just learned to sail during the film. Does that make her a Mary Sue? Her plan to get past Te Kā would have ended in death if it weren't for Maui.

I wanted to give Maui a good beating for his arrogant behavior, just like 95% of similar Disney characters. Well, I guess I did write about the movie itself in this thread. Typical Hollywood, technically very well-made, but incredibly predictable, about 95%. By the way, has anyone seen "The Dark Tower"? I haven't watched it and don't want to, but I'd like to know what's going on there, just to laugh and spoil everything. Because "lol, Roland is black" doesn't really tell me much.

My friend watched it and said it was complete garbage.

And others are writing the same. That’s what you get when you make a film adaptation of a great novel!

but it's highly predictable, about 95%.

Is the 5% unpredictability the fact that the pig is only present at the very beginning of the film, contrary to what the posters suggest?

I've heard that too. From what I understand, they cut the book by about 146%, removed half of the key characters, and generally messed it up.

Actually, yes.

Well, yes. Trying to fit eight volumes into 2 hours of screen time. You can’t just cut things out.

Plesu. Well, that's just my opinion. In reality, the problem is that, in general, "Mary Sue" isn't even an insult, because any truly a) good and b) lucky person will be indistinguishable from that Mary Sue... However, this has a somewhat negative impact on the quality of the spectacle. That is, at some point, I simply stopped feeling empathy for Moana, because it was clear that if she encountered a new problem now, it would take 30 seconds, and everything would be fine, she would handle it. I prefer it when there are... real crises. Maybe this is some kind of subjective view of mine, and you felt and understood it better, but that's how it is for me. By the way, Maui handles crises much better. This is one of the reasons why I liked the character (his slight eccentricity combined with charisma and heroic tendencies is another).

I also haven't watched it. My brother watched it. He didn't know it was based on King's work, and he said that he and his friend were laughing at the movie. If a person isn't even a fan of King, hasn't read the book, and therefore doesn't have this reader's subjectivity, and still laughs at a work that is dark in its atmosphere... Well, that's telling.
