Topic: Movie thread.

Went to see Zootopia 2 and really liked it My wife even liked it more than the first movie.

I finally watched I Saw the TV Glow after seeing it hyped up so much last year.

...for the most part, yeah, it did really live up to that hype. That ending's probably gonna stick with me for a while.

I saw An American Tail recently for the first time since I was a kid, and was shocked that the huge hit song Somewhere Out There comes from it.

The story goes that when the film's producer Steven Spielberg heard the song, said "that's a hit!" and got superstar Linda Ronstadt to re-record it.

Next thing you know it was a 1987 #2 hit on the U.S. Billboard chart and won the 1988 Grammy for Song of the Year.

Welp!
I will watch again WICKED FOR GOOD at my local cinema for the TENTH times.
I'm obsessulated with this movie.

@MontyCircus ooh, yes, Somewhere Out There is a beautiful song!

@Zuljaras Nice! I guess I forgot to give my thoughts after seeing it lol, overall it was a really fun time. The story was pretty good, though the pacing was a tad off imo. I loved all the new species' designs... Except the snakes. Unfortunately, those just didn't feel right amongst everything else. Also... it had a good twist villain!

Avatar: The Way of Water
Wow, what a beautiful and emotional movie! I was fighting with my tears a few times. Why did I not watch it earlier? I will definitely watch the new one in the cinema.

Found my old special edition dvd copy of Se7en so decided to watch it last night. The packaging is designed to look like one of John Doe's notebooks, so that's kind of a neat detail.

Anyway, it's a great movie with some excellent performances from Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey, who unsurprisingly does a great job playing a creepy weirdo. It is a rather dark, disturbing and depressing movie, so something I need to be in the right mood to watch. Might need a palette cleanse, maybe Muppet Christmas Carol next?

@Jhena Really? I am on the opposite way. The movie is truly beautiful but the story is really bad.

MY opinion (just think about it): The movie ended in the EXACT same place where it started. There is literally zero advancement/building of any kind. I can only count one meaningful death for example and still nothing changed in terms of plot throughout the whole movie!

I was waiting for something to happen until the very end The first one had buildup, improvement, characters advancement.

Still I can't deny the gorgeous setting and the new animals.

@Zuljaras
It was mostly about showing the family and how they grew as a family together in a new environment. To me, this is what the story was about, and I think it was done very well.

What kind of story progression were you hoping for?

@Jhena To be honest ... nothing. The first one was too good to follow.

After all the 1st movie was about the human greed and destruction and this was shown masterfully in the first one. I was hoping for some twist in the sequel and I got nothing.
Growing together with the family in new environment was like watching aa discovery movie
I heard that Fire and Ash is more of the same.

@Zuljaras
I think the second movie showed the greed and destruction very well, too, with the hunt for Amrita, or whatever it was called. And the new character Kiri, who is probably the Jesus figure of this world, is an important addition to the story.

If the third movie is about the family again, I think I will like it.

Ayiiiii
