What is The Last Movie You Watched?

I hated how it became something more than a comic book movie.

this is stupid. every comic book, like any piece of art, is a political act of the era. comics were never JUST A COMIC BOOK.

Get Out (Jordan Peele, 2017)

I 'get' the race angles, but this is like most so-called 'horror movies' - anything but. Apart from not seeing the point of being scared when I see a film, there are several plot holes one of which is crucial to the development of the plot but is plain daft. I rate it 4/10.

Only 2? Why? John Wayne actually acts in that movie.

Yeah, He quite good in that one, BUT, the movie is pure trash after the first 60 minutes.
-Kate, a free, strong and progressive woman allows herself to be dragged for 8 miles by her husband? Okay, right.



and then this old lady shows up and gives the middle finger to the feminist movement.

and then the whole thing was getting stupid, and stupid, and stupid, and then it happens that long, cringe-worthy scene with John fighting with her father...

Moonlight (Barry Jenkins, 2017)

This coming of age film is more subtle than at first it seems. At critical moments, the main character who suffers from a terrible emotional isolation appears to be alone in Miami, alone on what should be if not crowded, a late night beach with others in the vicinity, and later on driving alone on a road where there ought to be sight of another vehicle. If this captures the character's sense of self as unique but not connected to others, it succeeds, but I felt the transition from teenager to adult lacked credibility so I understood it but was not totally wired into it. Some fine acting throughout but a musical score that often seemed unrelated to the film.

i just watched War for Planet of the Apes. It wasn't the best of the new trilogy but it is still better than the Marky Mark version!

he acts in more movies than he is given credit for.

this is stupid. every comic book, like any piece of art, is a political act of the era. comics were never JUST A COMIC BOOK.

there is a case to be made that many comics were just comic books, that the creators of them were just churning out work for hire with little thought of them as being anything other than throw away pieces of entertainment. it is only later half of comics history that fans have come to see them as collectable and as art.
much of the 'politics' that appears in them being little more than reflections of the norms of the time.
