I freakin can't wait !!

 

[EviLore]

Wow, looks awesome.

 

[SpiceRacz]

About time. I wanna say this movie was scheduled for last year, but got delayed due to that gosh dang pandemic.

 

[MastaKiiLA]

Art direction looks amazing. First I'm seeing of this. I'm totally in.

 

[DKehoe]

Looks great. One of the films I'm most looking forward to this year.

 

[The Cockatrice]

I want a Dark Souls movie now after watching this.

 

[AJUMP23]

It also gets 2 threads.

 

[HarryKS]

Who's the director?

This looks good.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

This reminds me of Sword of The Valiant. I don't think it is coincidence. I'm in, though.
Also, time for the search engine to do what it was created to do.

 

[Romulus]

I love the cinematography and style. I also like how the hero is an ordinary dude and not inflated with gym muscles and eating chicken breast.

 

[CloudNull]

Looks incredible.

 

[INC]

Love the stain glass vibe to the art style

Looks good

 

[Outlier]

Why do they keep making trailers that show most of the plot?
I was interested at first, but then lost it as they showed me the protagonist will presumably reach the final boss.
I think I'll stick to teasers, reveals, and non-specific info, from now on.

 

[sol_bad]

I only watched half the trailer but it looks really really good.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Different kind of trailer here...




Short clip...

 

[Virt McPolygon]

Movie looks cool as hell, but King Arthur's voice sounds weird.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Doing well with critics, for what that's worth...

this looks so goddamn good

and unique

i love it's tone

i kind of wish game of thrones would get this same treatment by the producers of this

 

[EruditeHobo]

David Lowery is legit, this looks incredible, I can't wait to go this weekend and I hope it makes some money.

A24 continue to fight the good fight against the dismal tide of the industry...

 

[SafeOrAlone]

I have my ticket for Thursday night. First movie I'll be seeing in theaters since before the pandemic.

Movies like Hereditary and The Witch are what drew me to A24, so I'm hoping there's a tinge of that creepiness here. Really looking forward to it.

 

[Burning Blade]

I love Arthurian shit and this looks amazing!

 

[mxbison]

This looks amazing, haven't been this excited for a movie in long time.

 

[SJRB]

I'm so hyped for this, can't wait to finally see it next week.

 

[Soodanim]

Premise sounds different, and the feedback in the thread seems good. I’m not going to watch the trailer, because I’m going to go in blind and see what happens.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Lowery's using the same cinematographer as Ghost Story and it shows. Film looks incredible.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

I want to watch Ghost Story but I'm not in the mood for a emotional, potentially depressing film. Should I wait?

I'm guessing it's safe to assume it's not really scary or anything like that?

 

[Pejo]

I wish I could see what you guys love about this trailer, but I just don't. Is this a beloved book series that's coming to cinema for the first time or something?

 

[Cattlyst]

Looks awesome

I’m watching the trailers with one eye shut, because I want to be surprised. For me, I just have a lot of faith in this studio. They keep putting out films that chill me to the bone or have me feeling some strange way, so that’s what I’m sort of banking on.

I was really hoping this would turn out well.

Good reviews, R rating, and Alicia Vikander... yeah I'm in for 10.

Not to be condescending... but it's one of the oldest known written stories. It's essentially an epic in the vein of the Song of Roland, or Beowulf.

Epic tale + good actors + good studio = hype.

Incredible flick, but not for everybody. Not scary at all either. Just a meditation on the meaning of life and passage of time. Watch it.

Got tickets for an early afternoon showing tomrrow. 1st movie I have gone to the theaters for since last Star Wars movie…

Let us know your thoughts on the film. I'm seeing it Saturday night.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

I have tickets for tonight. I'll let you all know what I think after. I just hope it's scary, though I know that isn't the primary goal for the film.

 

[Warnen]

I enjoyed it, very creepy visuals. Kinda like The Witch. Not a huge film buff kinda person mostly prefer marvel/Star Wars stuff but I liked it.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

Bad experience

Couldn’t see anything. First they left upper lights on for 25 minutes, but even after, the screen was so dim, I could hardly see the actor’s faces in the (many) dark scenes.

I was in the back row but the theater was small. No way my eyes have gotten that bad, right?

I even asked them to turn up the brightness but i don’t think they did. Thing is, there were 10 other people and I don’t think anyone else complained.

I feel like everything should be very clear though so I’m thinking something was wrong. Hard to give them benefit of the doubt when lights were on so long.

idk, I’m kind of mad but it’s possible my eyes have just gone to crap I guess. Couldn’t hear well either. Maybe I’m dying.

 

[AJUMP23]

I’m not the only one then. The movie is too dark. Especially in interior scenes. I don’t know if it was the settings on projector or just the movie itself. Someone needs to do a brightness pass on this film.

overall the film was good. I enjoyed the story.

 

[Warnen]

Didn’t have that issue myself, looked great to me.

 

[Come On Tars]

I'm afraid this is going to be too art housey with not a lot of plot points being hit and full of shots that linger forever. Hope I'm wrong and it's balanced.

It’s go both, a lot of things happen and at a good clip but there are some long shots that linger a while too. Very balanced if ask me.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Just got back from watching this. Absolutely loved it.

Budget - 15 million
First weekend box office - 6.7 million

It's a shame it won't make much money, if any. No way to watch it in Sydney for me, still in lockdown.

theatrically worldwide and streaming/rental, it will more than make that back.

 

[EviLore]

Thumbs up on this one. Cool visuals, engaging unsettling tension throughout.

Shit. I forgot this one was coming out!
My GF dragged me to see Snake Eyes in IMAX, and it was my first time seeing anything in IMAX (pretty fucking cool, including the audio)
But, I would have much rather watched this one!

My biggest concern with this film was the ending and they nailed it. My favorite film of 2021 by far.

Until you get to the ending I was kinda thinking, what a crappy way to end, then when it gets to the ending I thought that is the right way to do it.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I wish they had released this on streaming. I'm kind of over theaters. Oh well, I can wait.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

The audience from my session was relieved when the movie ended lol

I think I heard some people in the theater I was at say "well that was different"
