Jurassic World Rebirth
Watched

I’ll admit I teared up during the titanosaur scene 

Cause I was like WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED? TEKKEN 8 SEASON 2 now THIS?? I can never pay for a Jurassic world movie and sleep comfortably ever again 

When the paleontologist touched the titanosaur (which literally spawned in followed by 3 more and then A FUCKNG HERD) I was like oh this is kinda gray Alan grant would never. Could be a cool set up for something…

Whoever is behind this is a HUGE fan of Jurassic park. I even recognized shots paying homage to the latter world sequels. The female T. rex had a paint job reminiscent of the female raptors in jp3 and the male T. rex had the same male raptor frill . And Jurassic park 2 is all over the T. rex scenes

On that note, the male T. rex is such a dumbass. He’s so precious. I just want to watch the…

After the close up on the psychologist saying “give them to her,” I was locked in in a way I haven’t been locked in to a movie in a long time 

Beyond that strange moment where that psychologist stares straight into the audience’s eyes as the image becomes uncharacteristically static, and what the moment lends to the narrative thinking about it in the context of the whole movie, the way the art style serves an actual purpose tying the script…

Didn’t know I was walking into Ritchie’s tightest in a hot minute and one of my favs of the year so far 

This is a textbook ROMP 

Theater was mildly packed and the audience was into it. There were some decent laughs but it’s mostly the “nasal exhale” type of comedy with its fast witty-ish dialogue 

It has unfortunate shades of “cooler than it thinks it is” scattered throughout and especially at the start during its stylishly bloated exposition. But…

The Fantastic 4: First Steps
Watched

Can’t remember the last time I saw a movie so unengaged with its own material. It felt like the goal this time around was to make it as universally inoffensive and whelming as possible 

In practice, it ends up feeling more like a rushed sequel than an introduction, where audience expectation is more a driver than a narrative or a character with a want or struggle 

All 4 of our hero’s main personality trait is that they’re vaguely nice. And…

James Gunn the only dude that can make Stewart little and graphic gun violence work in the same movie… and that’s just the tip of the iceberg 

Anyway big Harley fan, this is the best she’s been in the dceu. Actually looks like her, is funny. This isn’t the best version of her but it is the best she’s worked in an ensemble to my memory. She’s just here to add her personality. She steps back the right amount here…
