Listen, if you're asking me to see this or Spielbergs latest alien/ufo movie on that weekend in June, I'm choosing THIS all damned day long...

Joe Taslim already gets me in the door, but Xie Miao as well? (Look y'all, don't sleep on Xie...he's been on my radar since he was a kid in Jet Li movies and he's fire)

Anyways, this looks fucking phenomenal.

Mortal Kombat 2 was a solid film, much better than I expected and an improvement on the first film.

If you enjoyed the first film then you will love this one. Recommended.

Heard mostly good things. I want to see it, but need to find the time.

When the theme music starts to kick in whilst the battles are going on, just some really cool moments.

You do not have to but I would rewatch the first one going into it if you do find the time.

the (last) first one went completely outside of my radar. i have a nostalgic fondness for the franchise, i may have to check that/this out.

Oh man, this looks SO good.

Also Anne Hathaway channeling her inner Sarah Connor with a shotgun in 80's clothes...against fucking DINOSAURS? Dude...I'm SOOOO in.

Masters of the Universe is an outrageous amount of fun.

Just the right balance between leaning into the silly humour and having a lot of heart. It won't work for everyone but we both absolutely loved it.

Leto's Skeletor is better than I expected, but I don't think anyone can touch the sides of Mark Hamill's voice performance in the newer Netflix series.

Sounds like critics loved DISCLOSURE DAY but audiences are much more mixed with a bunch of people saying it's not good, and Spielberg has kind of lost whatever touch he had left.

I read a summary of the film and not only does it sound largely boring with lifeless action chases, but the ending would have actively pissed me off.

The whole movie also seems to function off the whole Roswell 1947 cover up shit...which Spielberg reportedly believes happened....but no one decided to tell him that such narratives went out of vogue in the year 2000....he's making films for his Boomer contemporaries who also believe that nonsense and still want to live in that conspiracy world...the rest of us HATE conspiracies now.

I'll watch it when it hits streaming, but it does -- at least from what I can tell -- seem like a throwback in an out-of-touch way rather than a return-to-form way. Maybe you're right and he is stuck in boomerism after all. I liked West Side Story and The Fabelmans quite a bit, but you can't really argue either was forward-looking.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.
