The "lovable" bumbling loser character almost ruins the movie
WTF was he thinking with that kid at the begining?
I knew I recognized the co-lead actor from something i'd seen him in before
What's with all the lesbianism?
Surprised that Johnny Lee Miller never got a real shot in Hollywood after this
Looks like a stock photo of Sigourney Weaver from Alien Resurrection

Jody was an idiot for surrendering.

I don't believe he was guilty (way too many implausibilities) but indeed even if he did, the f*ckery of the LAPD's gross mishandling of evidence, exacerbated by a corrupt, perjuring cop, with a history of planting evidence & who refused to deny that he planted evidence on Simpson(Are you f*cking kidding me?). It's a no brainer. Not guilty by reasonable doubt.
Yet its only the stormfags in here whining yet again about something else completely innocuous that was already a feature in the original movie. Something that would have been seen as idiotic & pathetic to be crying about in a significantly less "woke" time, no less.
Seriously. The first movie literally featured a multiracial/interracial couple 30 years ago & 'SHOCKER', no one gave a shit. I swear... sometimes I think these gen z stormfag bois get off on making utterly ironic asses of themselves with these kinds of race baiting, shit posts.
Reaching? No. It's called being a lying, race baiting troll trying to stoke some anti-"woke" therapy session. Not a damn thing was said about white privilege in the trailer.
While I pretty much agree, in the case of this film, it's more than just the culty, Nolanite film bros overhyping the hell out of this movie. I was genuinely baffled how this movie pulled blockbuster numbers at the box office but it seems it was getting a big push from the industry all along. My conjecture is that a lot of the artificial hype for this film is a sign that the industry is attempting to pivot away from the saturated market of stale, superhero crap that seems to be churning out more bombs than hits in recent years. Still though, it does feel rather surreal to see a competent yet unremarkable biopic film get treated like it's a unicorn farting rainbows.
I loss interest about 3 quarters of the way through. I was excited to see Eddie Murphy but the entire premise/set seems like something someone pitched as a bad joke. Akeem being drugged and raped by a hippopotamus during the events of the original movie, unwittingly fathering a child who he accepts as his heir? WTF. As awful as the set up was, there just wasn't enough Eddie Murphy. The actual lead film turns out to be the grown-up rape baby character who is just boring, unlikable & uncharismatic in every scene, making the movie a chore to sit watch. Very disappointing. At least the upcoming Beverly Hills Cop movie seems more promising.
I wouldn't say it's neither. I think "edgy try hard garbage" is actually a pretty accurate description of the movie but I still got some "very" cheap laughs out of it. I think accepting it as "so bad it's good" or rejecting it as pure, irredeemable trash are both valid, depending on your tolerance level for pure nonsense.
Hues can vary to some degree even among northern Europeans & Pugh's really aren't even THAT dark to be honest.
For a woman who is ethnically English, perhaps slightly? Pretty standard for darker complected, mediterranean women though.
"I mean kinda obvious what they're doing aint it? Characters who was white in the game just now being black, betting they'd never consider making Henry and Sam white eh? Its just annoying how white characters are willy nilly swapped with another race while every other race is always left as is and not dare touched in adaptations.
Before anyone says it, i'm not racist,"
Literally 9 out of 10 times "race swapping" occurs, it's white actors/characters swapping in for non-whites. They've been regularly "race swapping" entire films with white actors for decades. Yet somehow, you don't complain about this, even going as far as to lie that it never happens but find the time to cherry pick & whine about a couple of minor characters in a video game adaptation for not being white. So, yeah that's some fairly racist, selective blindness you've got there.
