Agreed.
Besides Keanu's acting, I also really dislike the Mina is a reincarnation subplot. But those two things aside, wonderful film.
Definitely see all points. The movie wasn't trying to be more than it was.
But had it wanted to be more serious, a la Rear Window, it would've done better to not go the route of having the lead be a teen. Could've been better with a cop or detective laid up at home in suburbia while recovering from a serious on-the-job injury. Maybe he already has paranoia, or enemies. And would've opened the door for an older, more seasoned and accomplished actor. Not a Shia fan, but not trying to dis him either, just saying, you can't compare him to say, George Clooney
For sure. But it's also made clear in the scene where Daniel says to Charity "When I told you, you couldn't wait to sell your soul to the devil"
Apparently some people think otherwise, but good job on illustrating the point that the kind of people who need the message are the ones whose heads it went over :)
I don't think it's meant to make sense, it's just the two franchises having fun and winking at each other.
What really makes it wild is when you take into account the fact that in #5, Tara is watching an episode of Dawson's Creek, also starring Michelle Williams, and the episode she's watching also happens to feature Scott Foley, aka Roman Bridger. So when you throw that in the mix, the whole universe really breaks.
We'll have to agree to disagree. There are plenty of experts, smarter than me, and likely smarter than you, who would say it is. And again, their life, not hurting anyone. And again, a real person gets priority over a deity that I don't know is real. And plenty of cultures through history have acknowledged more than one gender, we're just in sort of a Puritanical place right now. Lastly, humanity has invented plenty of constraints that we choose to live within, such as time by a clock, ie "Gotta be at the office at 8am," and currency, and thus poverty. We can adapt to letting people do what they want with their own damn bodies. And while you might not agree with their "delusion," it also hurts/costs you nothing to call them what they prefer. I'd bet you've referred to a singular person as "they." You probably have someone in your life who is cishet, but prefers their middle name, or a nickname, for whatever reason, and you abide by that for them. It's really no different. Even if you don't agree with it, everyone's just better off to go with it, because again, they're not hurting you.
I'd say more delusional. At least we know the trans person is real. And the trans person more than likely doesn't have millions of people around the world committing violent atrocities in their name. Personally I'm cisgender, so I don't really "get" it either. But I'm also big on personal choice, live and let live, you do you. They're not hurting anyone, except arguably themselves as those surgeries have to be painful, so it's gotta be something they really want. But unlike God, the trans person is provably alive, here, real, and for that I'll always take their side
That makes sense, except it doesn't explain all the blood in between her legs. The Sawyers don't seem rape-inclined, so it doesn't make sense.
Would be an awesome opening kill, since they're estranged, to draw the others back to Woodsboro (the franchise can only stay away so long).
Also, Hayek is much better than just "MCU alum," especially considering the movie she was in was one of the least good ones.
I'm not happy about this. I think Radio Silence has been good, and I'd hoped they'd be more long-term. At least do one more and sort of close out their own story/trilogy. Landon hasn't done anything to interest me. And Radio Silence convinced Neve to come back for 5 because of their love of the first four. So without them it might be even harder to bring her back. This is just a bummer.
Because Billy was a narcissist and couldn't finish his plan before everyone knew everything about why. Had he gotten around to killing Stu he probably would've said something on the nose like "Did you really think I'd let you live? You're not useful anymore. I can keep the secret better by myself"
I've always felt like his role tapers off by design. He's seen in the hospital after Cici's killed. After that I don't think we see him again until his reveal. They kind of purposely let you forget about him so it feels bigger.
Agreed. He wasn't quite suicidal. Suicidal is when you actively try to off yourself. Here, he was just more... content to not fight against it, and let it happen
"She sends her love, but she's not coming, she's taking her husband and kids and going to a safe place, she deserves her happy ending"
Didn't seem forced to me. Just highlights that she's "the one" for him. When someone is "the one," behaviors might be different.
Because young, strong, brunette, beautiful, intelligent, gifted, take charge... Marion was none of these things in Raiders, and Leia was none in Star Wars?
Depends how you look at it.
As some below argue, statistically, when you get down to all the extras and so on, there had to have been some LGBT+ involvement. But there weren't any characters that had that trait that was noted or expounded upon. Which is fine. I'm gay myself and representation is great and important, but that doesn't require us to be in every damn thing. Yeah, had they wanted a gay character, it could've worked, and I don't think it would've necessarily felt out of place, depending on how it was done. Like maybe Antonio Banderas's character was hooking up with one of his fellow fishermen. But it wasn't needed either.
It could still happen.
Though it's not really "they" who made her look that way, it was HP with her years of substance abuse. That said, while she didn't look great, she didn't look terrible. Also there are more important things. Also it'd be understandable if Kirby herself went through substance issues after what happened. That said, if they want her to take a more active role in the series going forward, she probably would need to get into better shape to handle more action scenes. Then again, they could just write for her to not have action scenes. On the other hand, it was her first job in a while, so being able to continue in it, along with studio support/resources, could give her what she needs in order to get in better shape. I say this in no judgmental way at all, I'm a man somewhat older than her and I could definitely be in better shape too, and the world's eye is not on me
Who knows, part of the charm. Doesn't seem that off-base a nickname for a kid to have. I think many people, if they don't have one of their own, probably know someone who has a nickname that would seem strange to any outsider who doesn't know the context
I agree with most of what you say. But, to be fair, "It also explains why Indiana Jones ends up not being the protagonist of his own movie." I think that's more to do with his age. Because they've made it clear that Harrison Ford wanted age to be a part of the story, but not necessarily in a way it's made fun of. So. I noticed, that seems like it takes shape in how the first half of the movie, Indy is essentially begging to be brought along on the adventure, trying to prove his worth. For example, there's the conversation between Helena and Teddy about how she's really secretly in charge. Which we can debate but is irrelevant to my point here. In earlier films, he was unquestionably in charge, now, he started off tagging along, before coming into his own again
