Disappointed in last few movies I've seen. Spider-Man, Suicide Squad, Red Notice

[captain queeg]

Saw the new Spider-Man in the theater with my son. We were both a little disappointed, I can’t put my finger in it. My son said the first half sucked then it was good. It’s not like I see a movie like that and expect it to make sense, but I guess in this case it just didn’t seem as fun as other MCU movies. I liked the first Suicide Squad, this one just seemed an over the top blood bath. Red Notice I think was a smaller budget streaming movie. There were a few good moments and I like Ryan Reynolds but particularly Gal Gadot was a disappointment. Whenever my kid comes home on break we go see these kinds of movies which we both like. We were going to go to Kings Man last night but ended up just streaming the SS movie. He said it was supposed to be more of a comedy. Maybe thats why it was so ridiculous, but there were few scenes I considered amusing.

1. I liked the ending after the final battle in the new Spider-Man but thought the rest of it was meh.

If you want a recommendation for a movie to see without your son, you might try Licorice Pizza. I thought the movie was desperately in need of an editor to cut out maybe 30 minutes of stuff; but otherwise the movie was fine. You can't help but root for Gary during the movie.

2. Haven't seen the new Spidey movie yet...

Some of the last movies we saw were the last two Jumanji movies with Dwayne Johnson and the MCU movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. We thought they were excellent. I liked Ten Rings better than Black Widow.

3. A different type of movie from those, but you may like

King Richard.

The acting was fantastic and it’s an amazing story.

5. Rent Bride and Prejudice...

Entertaining Bollywood movie, most dialog is in English. Don't even need sub-titles.
The movie is a take off from the famous "Pride and Prejudice".

6. Saw West Side Story on Friday

I didn't think that they could do better than the original but it was.

7. I watched Red Notice

when my daughter was home. I liked it, just silly fun. I couldn't swallow the excellent power source later in the movie. lol

The same weekend, we also watched 6 Underground. That was too graphic for me. My daughter said she had seen it before, but didn't remember some of the scenes. I said it was probably because she couldn'y look. lol We had it on, but shopped for boots for me.

Happy New Year!

8. Too Busy watching 18 episodes of Soviet Storm WWII in the East on YouTube.

The best documentary of WWII I have seen. Very little propaganda.

9. Yeah I've watched those. Excellent

Have you been following the WWII weekly series on YouTube? I think it’s called WWII in real time. The main guy is Indy Nidel. I really like the series.

11. No, I haven't, thanks I'll look it up.

10. I liked

King Richard and Being The Ricardos. Thought DUNE was an overrated bore.

12. I saw Kings Man last night at the theater. It was the best of the recent movies I've seen
