I quite enjoyed Birds of Prey aside from calling that character Cassandra Cain for no good reason.

I thought it was fun. Margot Robbie was tremendous.

Here's a good question:




With which films were the sequel (or sequels) better than the original?

Terminator 2.

i think T1 is better. T2 is unquestionably more loved so i know thats a "hot take" but T2 is a summer action flick. T1 is a really good piece of scifi. imaginative. the "horror" aspect (using that loosely) is much more compelling. Arnold hunting. them being on the run. the terror when he shows up. it all has more weight. its a more intense film where as the stakes feel very low in T2 since at its core the film is just an excuse for explosions and the audience knows it.

I feel the same about Alien over the generally more popular Aliens.

Godfather 2

He had a cooler jacket in T2. Killed all your arguments right there.

fully agree
great example. GF1 is outstanding but GF2 is a masterpiece

WELL PLAYED

Indiana Jones: Last Crusade was my fav of the original 3

i prefer raiders but crusade > doom

There is never any love for Temple of Doom, though granted it is the darkest of the films.

Captain America Winter Soldier

That was a really action movie. Loved it.

"Thor: Ragnarok" which proved that a sequel can actually vastly improve upon and make up for its predecessors.

Love me some Taika Waikiki

The Dark Knight

Spiderman 2

Spiderman 2 was a really great cinema trip for me.
TDK was also amazing in the cinema.

Hmmm, don't think I have seen any other superhero films in the cinema...
Genuinely wracking my brain now...
Pretty good streak going if true.

The Winter Soldier is definitely the best Captain America film IMO. Also, Infinity War and End Game are better than Age of Ultron.

The Dark Knight was excellent.

Godzilla v Kong was better than King of the Monsters

Non-Red-Band Trailer pretty good too:

WTF

Adam Wingard director of "Godzilla Vs Kong" is going to direct a sequel to "Face/Off".
What in the world...

Next up: Heat 2 - Still Trying to Find the Van

Snatch 2: Mickey "Periwinkle Blue" The Pikey origin story

Heat 2: All Pacino

Snatch 2: The Unkempt Anus

Maybe Godzilla and Kong will trade faces!

I was going to post almost this exact same thing, but yes....I pretty much agree with this sentiment. Suicide Squad 1, Batman vs. Superman, and even Avengers just didn’t do it for me. Dark Knight trilogies and X-men are the only things that I really got behind and even with X-men, it was pretty much only First Class, Days of Future Past, Wolverine origins, Apocalypse (kind of), Logan, and the original X-men I and II. The one where Wolverine acted with the gooks wasn’t too bad either. This will sound odd but I think watching Logan and Professor X die in Logan took too much out of me as far as superhero movies go. I haven’t enjoyed a superhero movie since Logan, although the new Batman that will come out will likely change that.

This does not look like a complete shitshow. We'll see.

Casual light-hearted jokes about child murders

That looks really fun

It looks like shit. It’s a sequel and pretty much all sequels are made because the first movie made money, but the sequels are always trash. “Harley Quinn” is outdated. She’s 2016. She should have stayed there.

Reviews are out and so far the reception is super positive

Every review i've read is incredible.

98% on Rotten Tomatoes so far out of 62 reviews

Amazing turnaround after how disastrous the last one was reviewed

T2 is a much, much better film than Terminator is. Terminator is a slick, stripped down horror style sci fi film, a lot like Alien with less in the way of fantastic dialogue and plot development. It is a great film but it is a high concept derivative. T2 is both a tremendously original film in terms of style and innovation, as well as being more broadly enjoyable. There is a far higher production value with an aesthetic and sound that have influenced pop culture ever since.

Terminator evolving to T2 is like when Rap went from Sugarhill Gang to NWA

Man, I remember when it hit the Blockbuster shelves. I remember being sick as hell and my mom inviting like 10 people over to watch it in the apartment we lived in. Also remember it feeling like "forever" because it was a long movie, but also the weird time distortion that happens when being sick.


Damn good movie.

drave giving me them flashbacks to video rental places dedicating an entire wall to a new release.
