Yeah it feels like the "world building" is shoved in your face at the beginning with little explanation then it just moves on with the movie

A series to explore the themes in show would be nice

How do orc clans work for example?

Why are all elves rich?

Who/what happened? How does that one cop knpw what his family was up to 2000 years ago?

I almost think that Bright is just the big name (Smith) intro to that world. Anyway, I'd watch a sequel., I enjoyed it a lot. It's very reminiscent of Shadowrun, which is no bad thing.

It's also interesting if you pause it to read all the grafiti.

Went and saw Molly's Game tonight. Bearing in mind that I love Idris Elba, Jessica Chastain and Aaron Sorkin I really liked it. Well worth it imo.

You've clearly never read much Spider-Man. Peter as a teen in Ultimate Spider-Man was the best take on the character there's ever been.

I much preferred this one. Andrew Garfield was too old, too cocky out of the suit. Toby Maguire was alright in I and II but it went to shit in III. I also like that its in the MCU, and now Disney is buying Fox I look forward to Spider-Man teaming up with the Fantastic Four .

I don't remember any hot latina Aunt Mays in the comics. She was middle-aged soccer mom in Ultimate Spider-Man.
In the comics I read as a kid she was a grey-haired old lady. If that floats your boat then great.

In the comics he is actually a hormonal teen :p it was all of the spiderman movies before homecoming that got it wrong.

Pulgasari is now free for Prime members on Amazon Instant Video.

If you didn't know, the director was a famous South Korean film director, who was kidnapped by the North, on the instruction of Kim Jong-Il (because he was so ronery?), and forced to make propaganda films.

This is his take on a Godzilla flick.

Not making this up.

It is right! Somehow the Thor franchise has struck the right chord with space-viking beings. Far superior to Avengers imho.

I thought Kenneth Brannagh did a great job with the first one tbh. Properly set the scene.

Finally got around to watching Blade Runner 2049, liked it a lot, especially how they leave some of the mystery of the first movie still open.
