Holy shit, now I reaaaally need to see this.

 

[guek]

Hey bobbeh, what did you think of The Wolverine?

 

[AuthenticM]

CANNOT. WAIT.

 

[Kin5290]

When was Fury Road good?

Please tell me this is a meme.

 

[Kaizer]

So is it better than The Wolverine? I really loved that film & its action scenes up until the final act where it went full dumb with their "Silver Samurai" hit mess.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Yes! We need more superhero movies in this vein.

I can't stand any more cookie cutter Disney/Marvel movies.

 

[MHWilliams]

The two best X-Men films are rated-R.

Weird.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Nearly every (or all?) praised video game story is overrated, tbh.

You're not wrong. The best video game stories are usually on par with action movies.

 

[Xe4]

I wasn't going to see this, but now I may. Damn, those reviews are glowing.

 

[jelly]

Well well, not bad. I'll be seeing this.

 

[illmatic22]

All the trailers and clips looked good. I expected greatness and baby we in here.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Hey bobbeh, what did you think of The Wolverine?

I thought it was mostly alright. Botched the landing pretty hard though

I still can't believe they went with the giant, CG Silver Samurai. What a wasted opportunity.

 

[Prompto]

Two more weeks

Sounds about right

Disagree. I like the Samurai armor and venomous Betty Draper in The Wolverine. Good movie.

Shame it isn't canon any more

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Weird.

I really have to squint to view Deadpool as an X-Men movie.

 

[see5harp]

Okay I guess I'll give it a chance.

 

[Jigorath]

First Class is PG-13 though.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Noice! Glad it turned out alright.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Glad this turned out great, cannot wait to see it.

 

[Grazzt]

oh god, the hype level is ridiculous.

Luckily got tickets to a screening tonight. It was largely great, very The Last of Us in tone. There is one scene in particular that was incredibly executed that I'm sure everyone will mention whenever they discuss this film. Definitely worth seeing.

Films. Not opening sequences

The spoilered text? I don't want to risk it until after I've seen Logan...

 

[MercuryLS3]

Looks pretty amazing.

 

[The Kree]

Eighth time's the charm! Awesome.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

oh god, the hype level is ridiculous.

And it sounds like it actually lives up to it for a change.

 

[Bishop89]

Great reviews, can't wait

 

[Secret Fawful]

So is this movie in any way like a Leone movie at any point, for instance Once Upon a Time in the West?

Man, imagine this movie with a Morricone score.

 

[Tugatrix]

I must see this nowwwwwww

 

[NHarmonic.]

Hype rising.

Is that forest scene we see in the trailer the best indication of the claw chaos one can expect, or does the action get even crazier? A yes or no is good

That

robot samurai

is the worst.

No.


The best barometer happens before that.

Crazy isn't the word I'd use. Violent is more appropriate. Gritty even more so.

There's a definite western vibe, but it's not a Leone western vibe. At least I didn't feel it.

Considering what Last of Us is influenced by, just take "Last of Us" as shorthand for "movies/shows/comics/books with a similar tone and general narrative framework"

 

[Kite]

I heard it was more Terminator 2 vibes than TLOU.

Thank you for answering. That's too bad. I probably won't see it then.

It's hard to go into such levels of detail on any aspect of a film while remaining spoiler-free. Someone more eloquent than me might be able to pull that off though.

:O No way. I fcking love Unbreakable!

 

[Bobby Roberts]

But this movie pretty much has nothing in common with The Last of Us in either tone or general narrative framework, from what I understand (people been filling me in on TLOU here). Aside from the fact there's an older bearded dude and a much younger girl, and there's violence involved.

 

[Froli]

Awesome. We got a winner here

 

[B.K.]

I'll get excited for it when we get more reviews in closer to release. Early reviews are always positive for every movie.
