The Skyline is by far the best car in this movie, and I am so sad that it plays such a limited part in this movie. The scene where all the cars push out of the garage is fascinating. Kind of stupid, but fascinating. The acting is still just a push. You can see it getting better, but it isn't great
Movies
I think part of it might be Chiwetel Ejiofor's character constantly talking about everything going on off screen and the "battle for your life" every couple of seconds. I just never liked his character. Plus the super white bald Sorcerer Supreme is an odd choice
Movies
Another banger from the Russo brothers, and another outstanding Captain America movie. This is my favorite of one. We get a great bad guy, Zemo, who really makes a lot of sense for a dude who lost everything from a city being dropped down. Then you get to meet the Black Panther.
Movies
in John Wick Chapter 2 or John Wick Chapter 3 we did get good motorcycle combat. Why do I bring those movies up for a movie that was made 20 years prior? Because they guys in that movie were stunt coordinators on other films at that time and people said that the realism wouldn't sell tickets…
TV
However, for a pure fantasy world, this is outstanding. No magic, no elves, just a fantasy knightly world where honor is lost to fable. It will easily be the best show I watch all year and the one I will recommend all year.
Movies
The action was in these pops that never continued and were had a lot of setup. For instance, there is an old station wagon in one of the garages, and they move it to block the garage, then that saves their lives. These intentional setups make sense for the story, but feel absolutely forced.
Video Game
This is the beginning of the Ezio Trilogy, where you get one of the best protagonist in gaming. He is a little rambunctious at the start, but he turns into a solid character. Even by the end of the game itself, he is a lovable guy. A womanizer for sure, but people like him.
Movies
Take C-3PO on Chewbacca's back for an hour and a half, but killing giant monsters. A good combination of fight scenes, sarcastic remarks, and funny jibes, and you have the basis of this movie. The opening scene is one of the best fight scenes I've seen on a 1v1 scenario in a long time.
Movies
I know I might be among the few that feel that way about his movies, they are in the purely entertaining bracket of movies, but there is no substance. This movie is the perfect example of style over substance in movies. Part of that I think that is the pull from EVERY single sci-fi movie ever.
Movies
You hate the people you are supposed to hate, like the people who are “good” and almost sympathize and understand the crusade from both points. There is a line where Saladin is asked what does Jerusalem means to him, and he says: "Nothing… and Everything."
Movies
The action is solid. I mean, Javier Bardem through a train at Bond. There were Komodo Dragons and a bomb fight in Scotland. Again this goes toward blending the old and new. You have lines referencing the old tech in the Aston. You see some of it come back when the gun firing.
Video Game
This is where this game stands above most other games. The story is full of a simple premise, but filled with a history that pulls you in. I am one of the few people that think that the modern day is just as important as the historical period in the game and that is fine.
