Are you 5 years old?

>>84825356
Yes, the only reason /tv/ hates it is because they're contrarians

>>84825474
That and it was a bad movie.

>>84825356
This is a trick question.
Is Spider-Man Homecoming a good movie? No.
Is Spider-Man Homecoming "KINO"? Yes, since anything described as "kino" is only ascribed as such by underageb&s, redditors, and retards. "Kino" is synonymous with shit.

Everyone realized that you can't have your old Star Wars anymore. The fever has cooled and will never be back like it once was. There will be flare ups but never like it was.

The Sand Snakes, Ellaria, Ramsay Bolton, Areo Hotah, The Mountain in season 2, Hizdahr zo Loraq, Olly and the kid Arya stabs in season 1

theon, tyrion, and cersei

Gandalf, I liked his tax cut proposal.

He meant that he's seen Bender in detention before, or Saturday school or whatever the fuck, because Bender would often have to attend because of his misconduct in the school.

the breakfast club is a horrible movie

Honestly probably Chris Dorner.

not that much, actually. i don't think a hollywood adaptation of such a cerebral novel could've turned out much better. it's remarkably faithful to the source material. that said, it still feels super rushed, especially the first 10 minutes - like there's an hour missing from the film. and there is, because they cut the Peter & Valentine subplot.

All homosexual pedophiles love that book.

the kid's great strategy at the end was to suicide bomb the alien planet? they had to go through years of eugenics for that shit? no adult on earth could've thought of a plan like that?

Actually pretty good

That's actually fine. He's a moderately funny British guy when he's not doing his politics routine, and it's not like Zazu is an overly important role anyway.

Hopefully he'll tell the lions that they need to accept hyenas into their kingdom, diversity is our strength

Protectionist ideology, older than any U.S. president and with ancient, global precedents, gets personified and made into a metaphor. The Tao Tei are mythic creatures whose rapacious claws William first severs and presents to the Chinese as evidence of a conquerable opponent. The Tao Tei are like Ray Harryhausen beasts, updated with digital technology reminiscent of other sci-fi ogres, from Godzilla to Alien. But the green-skinned and green-blooded Tao Tei makes for a wonderfully nightmarish foe, a political analogy that could have been envisioned by a wartime global economist: Its jaws and claws attack first, while its eyes are set back (foresight and reason recessed). The Tao Tei are explained as mutations from outer space (from the gods) sent to punish the emperor, but in fantasy movies monsters are always a reflection of one’s inner conflicts.

The monster-movie script by Hollywood hands Carlo Bernard, Doug Miro, and Tony Gilroy (from a story by Edward Zwick, Marshall Herskovitz, and Max Brooks) reflects a humanist agenda: The only thing that stops these masses of savages in their rampage is a magnetic rock that William claims for use as a compass. A symbol of what draws East and West together, it also holds all dangerous opposing forces in equilibrium.

As a hybrid of historical, fantasy, and political genres, The Great Wall requires a certain equipoise from viewers. The best thing about this hybrid is the decision by producers Thomas Tull and Charles Roven (who also produced Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) to enlist director Zhang Yimou, best known for staging the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, a spectacle still unsurpassed. Zhang is also a true cinematic master (Hero, Curse of the Golden Flower, Coming Home, Raise the Red Lantern), who raises this film to a level that transforms its politics into pure vision and emotion. When the Nameless Order prepare to fend off the Tao Tei, the military phalanx, from drum corps to aerial soldiers leaping from towering parapets, are dressed in an array of colors that recall Kurosawa’s Ran, but perfected. Underground scenes of the army traversing caves dug by the Tao Tei combine the atmospherics of Andrzej Wajda’s Kanal with the tense pursuit of Alien. Images of the army’s hot-air-balloon squadron rising into dark skies for a nocturnal offensive are also dreamlike.

This era’s degraded movie sensations are part of our degraded social perception. Zhang’s deployment of realism and abstraction is a reminder that Peter Jackson’s standard-lowering Lord of the Rings F/X had no beauty. Zhang achieves visual splendor worthy of silent movies — Griffith’s teeming crowds, Fritz Lang’s geometric patterns — plus digital intercutting that makes images seem to burst before your eyes.

The greatness of The Great Wall’s action scenes — warfare as action-movie poetry — responds to William, the Western outsider, asking the Chinese: “What comes at you so hard you need a wall like this?” It’s a politician’s question, asked by an interloper whose own partner identifies him as “thief, liar, killer.” But this isn’t simply self-hating Western apologetics. Tian Jing’s Commander, who resembles a hot-chick ninja, explains the concept of xin ren (trust), which converts William from selfish conqueror to ally.

It is no coincidence that Damon’s bulked-up and full-faced appearance here recalls Brando (as both Fletcher Christian in Mutiny on the Bounty and the mercenary William Walker in Gillo Pontecorvo’s anti-imperialist epic Burn!). In recent presumptuous political movies, Damon has lost the conscientiousness he first embodied as the contrite cavalryman of Walter Hill’s Geronimo: An American Legend (1993), but he shows faint memories of it here. Hollywood itself has become less scrupulous and offensively self-righteous. In these days when so-called resistance, from D.C. to the streets, uses dishonorable methods, The Great Wall offers a conscientious reminder of artistic principle, the respite of an aesthetically powerful comic book.

first season of this was alright. first half of season 2 was pretty good, too, but Elektra ruined the rest of it. and no, not because "muh stronk female character", i don't give a shit about that - she's just a poor character and all of the supernatural ninja shit is just poorly handled. ironically, Luke Cage did a much better job with it despite overall not being a very good show.

>>84823518
Daredevil Season 1 - Great
Season 2 - Good
Jessica Jones - Great
Luke Cage to Episode 8 - Great
Luke Cage including episode after 8 - Bad
Iron Fist - Bad or shit.

Best part of the show.

Because it was escapism for 99% of the male population.

first couple seasons maybe

Real life player here
I've had girls fall madly in love with me, and this show is one of the few works I've seen that actually portrays the dark side of being an attractive man

Even Eddie Nero says it, "it's a curse"

Women keep falling for you, you keep unconciously seducing them, you can't help it
And it always ends in someone getting hurt and your own life getting more fucked up

The first 4 seasons of Californiacation are fantastic
Especially the ending (of Hank finally letting go)

Too bad they fucked it up with everything past season 5
