It's pretty much Girl Boss the movie. Every female character is the best and baddest. The choreography is just dumb. You have battalion level strength with air cover, and armor and you lose to people charging with axes and laser muskets?? Yes the villagers have guns that look like muskets and fire one pew pew at a time.
The zombies in Dawn of the Dead were a bigger threat than a space faring war machine that has been at war for centuries?
Just for the people who still don't know how dumb:
Basically just nu-Star Wars with a different coat of paint.
So glad I dodged that bullet by not even watching the first. Seemed like it had a small amount of potential, but was also an obvious trap, so I dipped.
Modern entertainment must be carefully scrutinized even before watching, to avoid this nonsense.
Yup. Only gave it a watch because of Charlie Hunnam. He's a real lad, and usually picks better films (He was quite good in The Gentleman, and that was a ballsy and well-done film). Boy was I disappointed...
Yup, I liked some of the people involved, primarily Hunnam, so was at least considering it. Glad I didn't bother.
Also, somewhat controversial opinion since it was a bit "diverse," but I quite enjoyed King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. Speaking of Guy Ritchie and Charlie Hunnam. It was a bit diverse, but didn't beat you over the head with it, and I don't recall much of The Message being present. It's a fun action movie.
I also enjoyed that film, but looking back I am of the opinion that—since it is a version of an English cultural myth—it is unacceptably diverse and should be regarded as bad, even if it is fun.
Funny I've been thinking about that King Arthur flick recently, mostly because of Guy Ritchie. Might give it a watch soon, depending on the mood.
If I hadn’t seen the title of this post bring about Rebel Moon I would’ve had some trouble because your bullet points describe a number of movies in the last number of years
I'm still pissed at Ambulance. I watched it last week, but it left such an unpleasant taste in my mouth I'm not sure the next time I'll even bother watching any modern Western entertainment that I haven't previously seen/vetted.
Sad part? Far from the worst movie...but still utterly insufferable if you're paying any attention to The Message.
If you have them check out free streaming services like Tubi, Vudu, Crackle, or Pluto. Massive library of older content. Also lots of pre diversity obsessed bbc stuff as well as some Australian and NZ show
There's two?? Where?? I've never heard of either one of these things
