Sounds like someone needs the refreshing flavour of peptides

[–] SteefLem@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I dont know what those are but seeing my day is incredibly shit, i’ll take some.

Pumping out proprietary garbage - hardware, software, content - since living memory.

The deja vu train scene was well done, everything before and after was a chain of missed opportunities. What a weird experience this was.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I can't decide whether to watch it to witness the train wreck. I did that with Morbius, and completely regretted it.

This is one of those movies where you can examine a scene and immediately have ideas how to improve it, be it dialogue, a cut, or maybe pacing. I enjoyed the movie, but like I said before, in a weird way.

It definitely was interesting.

[–] aaaa@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I didn't hate watching it. If you just enjoy the fun parts and don't think too hard about how it all works out how it could have been better, it's not a terrible time.

But I was just putting something on Netflix, I wasn't really expecting or looking for the highest of quality

I thought Morbius was not as much fun to watch

My wife wanted to see this so we went and regretted it. Fucking terrible movie.

[–] halykthered@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

Same. I knew nothing about the film when I sat down in the theater. I was interested, right up until the first bit of dialog.

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The most milquetoast actress in the history of movies? Plus the shit writing didn't help.

[–] Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Cara Delevigne was in this too?

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Oof, they should make a movie with those two. Man they ruin anything g they're in yet they still make movies.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

I can't wait for the Sony Pictures Cinematic Universe team up of Venom, Morbius, and Madame Web to take down Kraven the Hunter. It will be the culmination of so many bad movies in such a badly handled franchise that they may strike gold. Or a balrog. Either way, I'm happy to watch.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

I can make it through just about any movie regardless of how bad it is.

I had to turn this off 10 minutes in, it was that bad.

I saw it in theatre and it's definitely not the worst movie ever. I eventually just stopped paying attention to anything other than Sydney Sweeney and Adam Scott, though.

The movie is very inconsistent.

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wow, this article kinda makes me want to see it.

There is something about getting a couple of friends and watching a good trainwreck

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

Seems like an interesting disaster indeed

[–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

Hope they didn't send this article to print with the typo towards the end.

"5000 world mark"

The article is more entertaining and less of a loss of your time than the film, so quit while you are ahead.

[–] UKFilmNerd 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thank you for the advice! πŸ˜†

[–] Emperor 2 points 2 months ago

I mean, if it comes on telly on a rainy Sunday afternoon, when you are bored, with nothing else to do, you might as well stand in the rain for a couple of hours.

[–] TheRealChrisR@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

If you want to see a stunningly accurate recreation of a bad 2003 superhero movie but released in 2024, Madame Web is the way to go. It definitely has so bad its good entertainment value.
