Wrath of Man was hot garbage. A total miss from Guy Richie in my opinion and I'm surprised to see so many favourable reviews.

Worse than Rocknrolla or Revolver? If so I didn’t think that was possible.

Never saw Revolver, but did happen to see RockNRolla recently and it was a definite step up from Wrath of Man. I'll give you a moment to deal with the shock.

I finally got around to watching both Split and Glass. Unbreakable is one of my favorite movies but I just never got around to these two, in part because I heard they weren't break. But I enjoyed both a lot.

Rocknrolla is a solid 9/10!

James MacAvoy is one of the world's most underrated actors.

I enjoyed it. It didnt have the Gravitas of John Wick, but it added a more human element in a family man.

It was more like an interesting twist on 'A History of Violence.'

Raiders of the Lost Ark is 40 years old today. It still holds up as the gold standard for every action/adventure flick that came after it.

In the Heights was quite good. The music certainly shares a lot in common with Hamilton, and while their is not a whole lot of material in the story, it’s just incredible to look at and listen to. Pretty uplifting experience.

Man comes home from active duty, remodels bathroom

It is both great and awful. Chiwetel Ejiofor (had to google spelling) is outstanding, the rest of the acting is forgettable to horrendous. Leave it on in the background, maybe.

I really like him as an actor, but I looked at that movie and...I dont know, I might give 'er a whirl when I'm super bored.

Not a chance. It's boring AF now. I can barely get through it and my kids just kind of wandered away and didn't come back. Doesn't hold a candle to something modern like Live, Die, Repeat.

Did they rename Edge of Tomorrow?

Agree about Indy movies. They need them remastered or something because the effects are really goofy looking now. Also, while I enjoy The Matrix, it could be touched up as well.

The Last Crusade is the superior film anyways.

It holds up great, your kids are weird. It created the modern action movie.

Live, Die, Repeat is such an under appreciated movie.

Nah, it really doesn't.

There is a maybe scene or two, but overall it doesn't hold up great.

While it may have created the Modern Action Movie, I'm not sure it mastered the Modern Action Movie.

Sounds like some people should refill their adderall prescriptions. Raiders is boring? Yeah alright.
