    Battle scenes were good. Everything else in between, yawn.

    I liked 1917 more, but they’re different kinds of war movie.

    AQOTWF was very well done, but not my thing. There is enough depressing stuff around already ...

    We don't need bad WW1 films from the perspective of a hero's journey. 1917 did that and did it at the highest quality. I don't need to see Kevin Costner in a WW1 film.

    Has anyone seen First and Last Men? It's on Shudder.

    I'm curious, because I kind of just want to listen to the movie while driving and not actually watch it. I know the movie has no actors, and is just still photos of Yugoslavian relics from a viewing standpoint.

    Bought my ticket to Return of the King on 4/19. 4hr20min runtime and I can't wait. HBO Max has the extended versions so I'll be watching the first 2 before then.

    The worst scene added to RotK is
    the beginning where Saruman gets pushed from his tower by wormtongue after having a whole conversation from the top of his extremely tall tower with the Fellowship below

    Yeah it's one of the only things that I thought aged really poorly when I watched them recently. I know Sauron is the Big Bad, but we know he isn't getting defeated in the second movie. Saruman is the such a great villain and one of the main characters of TT and we get no pay off. I think he last we see of him is him standing on balcony? Lame. Peter Jackson did this in the Hobbit movies too where the movie ends and the next movie picks up and finishes off the story from the previous movie in the first 10 minutes. Pretty shitty narrative choice.

    I don't expect this to be an all-time great but I am looking forward to seeing it in a theater more than anything else this year. The cast is completely bonkers.

    I mean that feels like a lot of assumptions and concern on a “3 hours” vs the 2hr 45min max

    Dunkirk didn't do it for me. Watched it live in the theater and then really no desire to see it again.

    I really liked Tenet though so take what I say with a grain of salt

    Meant to share here that I saw an early screening of the new Dungeons & Dragons movie on Wednesday night and it was actually pretty entertaining and I didn't grow up playing D&D. Solid cast and some good laughs, would recommend, especially considering there aren't a lot of other great options in theaters right now (also currently at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes btw)
