Just saw Top Gun Maverick and I have to say what a surprise. It is better than the first movie, and it is a fun film. I was skeptical of a sequel thirty years after the fact but nah, we got something that really is quite good. Just my two cents.
@Themagusx1 when the Force Awakens came out I really liked it, but as the other two came and went. I have SO many nitpicks about them it's not funny.
and sidenote after seeing BELLE I never want to watch a new animated Disney film ever again!!!
That film is my favourite animated thing ever (besides UPA animation)
Just got back from seeing Jurassic World Dominion in 3D.
I know it's been getting pretty scathing reviews, but I honestly thought it was pretty entertaining & at least better than Fallen Kingdom. Sure, if you think hard enough there are some things that don't add up (I'm not sure exactly how long after it takes from the last one, but it probably doesn't make that much sense that a couple dozen dinos let loose on the west coast could become endemic the world over in a few short years), but it was a fun action movie.
3D was pretty good too. Didn't make quite as good use of it as Doctor Strange, but there were definitely some acts that made great use of it like the action scene in Malta.

@Kermit1, yeah, I can maybe understand why some people may be disappointed with it, but in the end Dinosaurs are just animals, this was never going to be like Planet of the Apes where humanity is at war with them over living space or some such.

Meh, I thought Mulan was fine for a wire-fu movie. Some the scenes were really gorgeous looking.
I do wonder about people who keep calling it the worst movie ever made as it’s not bad even if it’s not great. Like have they only ever seen 8 films and this just happens to be the worst from the small population or are they paranoid that this new movie is out to murder their memory of an ancient cartoon or if they are on the internet hyperbole train feeling the need to moan about every single thing rather than just move onto a film they did enjoy or because it’s Disney it’s the centre of their world now so every detail of everything they do needs to be discussed ad nauseam.
What are your thoughts on casting versus acting? You ever hear people say "the role was mis-cast"? I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I'm having trouble coming up with examples wherein a skilled actor or actress did not perform well because they were "mis-cast". I think the phrase is normally a euphemism for "can't act". I'd really love to hear your thoughts on this, maybe starting with some examples.
