The Suicide Squad (2021) - most fun I've had all lockdown.

Jeez, the 1st one sucked and so does the 2nd itteration.

Can't believe that James Gunn got it so wrong.
This movie doesn't hold up, too long, not a great story.

Only watching for the sake of wasting time... 2/10.

Free Guy - 8/10.

I would have given it 1 more point but the scene with the guy smashing the servers is unrealistic. Who runs only on-prem servers with no backup.:rolleyes:

So everything else was fine in terms of realism - like self aware game characters?
Sorry for the pedantic interjection...but how does anyone who enjoys movies get this concept of realism in movies so wrong? In John Wick do you think because he's performing unrealistic fighting that if one of the characters turned into a cartoon dog you'd think it's fine because unreal stuff was already happening?

Dune..... Dune 2... ?

Wait, I watched 2 and a half hours of things to do in the sand, and there may not even be an end to the story ?

Of course there's an end...but there are 6 books. So this was definitely the first movie, but not the last.

False equivalence - suspension of disbelief needs to include that which is entirely plausible - like not having a backup server.
John Wicks fights are within the realm of possiblity in terms of context and story whilst a cartoon dog isn't.

Clarify - I meant an end in the movie sense.

As I understand it, Dune 2 has not even been confirmed.

Dune (2021) 7.5/10

Wow, this was impressively good. Stellar storytelling, great atmosphere, scope & visuals right on the money, casting was excellent. Hans Zimmer score was so well executed. Villeneuve knocked this out the park. Super amped up for Part 2 (please please let it be green-lit).

Curious to see more reviews considering either watching it at home or IMAX

2 movies with a similar plot.

Copshop - 6/10 - Dumb ending. Good turn by main actress.

Old Henry - 7.5/10. Old school western expertly executed.
