HBO has been showing the original Superman films lately I assume because of the doc. I ended up watching them as well. i vaguely remember seeing them as a kid. It was more my brothers thing. They’re decent. I don’t hold anything against films for being limited because of the time period they were made in. So it’s nothing like that.

But 10/10? Seriously? If Superman is a 10 then what is something like Citizen Kane? I can’t in good conscience put those two films in the same category.

I guess what I’m saying is I need you to be better. Stop willy nilly throwing around 10’s all generously and shit. Superman is a fine film. It’s not a 10/10 though. Superman and The Godfather don’t belong in the same category. It’s great for what it is, but it’s a popcorn superhero movie.

I would say one has to remember there are different types of films. The question is how well they did that type of film.

Citizen Kane is one of a favs. I think it's certainly one of the best dramas.

Drama, action, sci-fi, horror, fantasy, comedy, romance films have commonalities, but they have different goals in pleasing the audience.

Maybe you're bringing in the concept of comparative importance/significance? Superman78 and Kane could both tell their respective stories through the film media very well, but some critics just won't give a "comic book" movie high regard because of their 'critic status'. High praise is left for "serious films".

That's probably about right. Although I'd go lower, like 5or4/10. It's a time waster with production value.

Endgame did a decent job to setup for Sam Wilson/Falcon to take the lead of being the next Captain America. I thought Sam was a good choice, except for not having super-serum powers, which they could have given him at some point.

The main problem with the film is the story and theme. Captain America is an anti-fascist and fighter for American liberty. The script doesn't have Sam espousing that. And the antagonist/villain is not particularly fascist or anti-liberty. A monumentally incorrect choice for the basic story.

True....and the movie was to long, around 2 hours. The visuals with Harrison Ford toward the end of the movie might have been the best part. I don't wanna spoil it for ppl who haven't seen it.

My son (age 25), who sees all Marvel movies and is a fan, thought it was one of the worst movies he has ever seen.

yeah....I gotta drop it to a 4 / 10 overall. The last 15-20 minutes of the movie was decent ....based on the action

 

[DrGonzo]

The Heretic 3/5. Hugh Grant makes a decent villain.

The Rule Of Jennie Pen 3/5. Lithgow kind of ruined it by mailing-in the accent.

 

[run and shoot]

In the Lost Lands 7/ 10 based on action

The Spanish Prisoner 8/10

For the best ride, for those who've never seen it, I'll just call it a mystery suspense drama. It's a film you don't what to know anything about ahead of time. Lively and well executed.

Has Steve Martin in a serious role. Stars Campbell Scott, who did a great job in the novelty film Roger Dodger, which I'd recommend even more.

 

[Heidenlarm]

Incendies. I'll give it a c+/b- it's good, but no where near ground breaking like people make it out to be. The strength is the story telling, but if you've seen Chinatown you know then, that maybe the strength of the film isn't so great.

I watched it cause it was in the "leaving soon" section on Tubi and I've known a lot of people to rave about it.

The Alto Knights​

Captain America....... 4.5..........

A Working Man​

5.7/ 10
Almost 2 hrs. Decent action. Some of fight scenes are phony i.e. Jason Statham taking on 10 guys one by one .

Especially when they can all just shoot him instead. To be fair, it's not easy for multiple fighters to subdue one martial artist, especially if he has room to run or back away. When you close distance you can take a disabling hit. Hard to surround a dude who's avoiding it.

If you see A Working Man ....let me what ya think about some of the fight scenes. I'm thinking about seeing The Amateur next.

The Amateur 8.8 / 10
Good plot. Good action. Good acting. See it
