Even though these types of movies aren't really my cup of tea, i thought, judging by the massive hype, that it would be better. But acting was mediocre at best. Effects were nothing special. Storyline was just ok. Overall a pretty meh movie.
4/10

^^^Oh man there is so much irony in your two posts, Welfare, I'm chuckling to myself.
How convenient the closet racist on the board, absolutely hated Black Panther (not your cup of tea), but you LOVED the premise of American History X, a movie about a white supremacist (by the way, I enjoyed the movie myself).
I find something oddly amusing by those two posts in conjunction and the thought of you watching both films in relation. You are certainly a character, I'll give you that.

There definitely is a contrast there. It is only coincidental though.
Truth is these were the first two movies I've seen in months.
A co-worker made some reference to American history x last week and i thought to myself, i remember that being a pretty good movie. I think I'll check it out again.
So i watched that, and figured i was on a roll for movie watching, so i thought I'd watch black panther. Since i made a bit of a stink about it here when it came out.
Tbh, now that I've seen it, i don't think anything was propagated in the movie itself. Maybe the hype that surrounded it though. But that's about it.
And yea, action and superhero movies have never been my thing. They just seem boring and repetitive, imo.
Different strokes for different folks though.
As for acting and dialog, tbh, i find most box office hits these days to be sub par. Probably because they're all the same genre that I'm not interested in.
So I'm not just picking on this movie. It just happens to be the only box office smash that I've seen in ages. I'd probably feel the same about tomb raider. or any other one of the dozens of movies of that genre out these days.
Because, they aren't my cup of tea

American History X isn't about racism specifically, it's about the harm that can come from blind hate through tragic events and how it leads to destructiveness for those around one of the main characters and how he looks for absolution. Easily one of my all time favorite movies both when new and today.
Hidden 8/10 - different take on the zombie/outbreak genre. Slow but intense drama, excellent acting from all 3 main characters, good story, nice ending. All in all a great watch.
Never have I been so terrified to peer into my rear-view mirror, or stare into a dark room for too long... literally had trouble sleeping for 3 nights after this flick lol. Disturbing, horrifying, and unsettling with clever little details hidden throughout the film that warrants a second viewing
Caveat: don't go in expecting this to be a mainstream horror, 'cause it's NOT. Jumpscares are non-existent, but it's got a lot of visual fuckery that'll make you question your eyesight. It's a slow burner, so you won't be able to truly appreciate it if you're not a patient viewer.
Nice!! I have high hopes for this movie and most reviews I've seen are similar to yours. People are calling it next level horror and it leaves you will feelings that haunt for days afterwards.

It definitely is, and I would even venture as far as to say that it's classic-worthy. I've never been so obsessed with a movie in my life LOL I spent the next few days reading up on theories and things I missed in the movie over on r/horror
Though, I don't want to hype it up for you guys. A couple of my buddies watched it and were like "I don't get it" or "Too slow dude, I fell asleep." Likely because they were expecting cheap scares... it's an elongated, stressful buildup with a few scenes that'll mentally hijack you for a few minutes
My AFC gave me an ABS CEL code of LOL while at WOT!

Hereditary 7.5/10
Started out a little slow... but once things start to get interesting it's great. Some scenes came off more funny than serious but that might've been the Friday night crowd. There are some really messed up images/scenes that'll stick with you.
IT 7/10 - nice modernization, I like how they arranged the events, kids were good, cool that it was in the 80's as it gave it a Stranger Things feel(Richie is played but one of those kids as well) Pennywise was OK but some of his stuff was down right chessy. Hard to one-up Tim Curry though, he was absolutely terrifying. A decently worthy update on a classic. Looking forward to Chapter 2.
if u watched the first one, ur gonna love this one. This one is like turned up 200% lol. The music and action scenes keep you at the edge of ur seat
I hope so. I loved the first one. Going to see it tonight. My concern is because the director and DOP are different it won’t have the same feel as the first and will just compensate with more action. It’s actually the lack of action and high tension build up that made the first one so good for me. Felt like they were building up to that border sequence forever vs the instant gratification of over the top action movies that are a dime a dozen.
In terms of r rated adult comedies recently, Games Night had more laughs per hour.

I like the first one, this one wasn't bad but not quite as good as the first IMO. It was better then a 7.5 but not quite an 8 for me.

Some of the dialog and acting seemed a bit forced. Not as good as i remembered it being when it was originally released, but still a very decent movie. Terrific premise.
8/10
