While Jason Mamoa is no Arnold. Watching this movie again after 2 decades. I realize it's a real spagetti recipe of Mongolian, Thai, Arthur-ian, Sahara costumes and castles. Action sequences are less than there should be. Still descent, to watch though.
My favorite adaptation of the book. Especially the movie sets.
I love this romcom. it's a refreshing take on the average guy finding love.
I found it entertaining. Though whenever I think of Eli Roth I expect serious mix of thriller and action. That is not there as an Eli Roth project. So definitely that's one aspect of why people didn't like it. And yes I agree it's definitely not like Jamie Lee Curtis to do a movie like this. Then there's Kevin - very little of his on screen jokes. Action and slashing was I guess not on par with the actual game. Florian Munteanu's character didn't do a lot of bashing. The lead villain didn't give vibes of a galactic business overlord.
Are my thoughts. I think the whole project is trying to appeal and attract the environmentally cautious genz to the franchise and apparently the movie is not a filler or support to the games story.
...are my thoughts but I am now very tempted to play the game.
The ending was not realistic but otherwise the movie was good.
It was below my expectations. Seemed like a mismatch between cast and actors.
I felt they did a real sloppy job with wolverine's costume head piece. similar with Gamits, chest plate and face shield/cover.
They released the G rated version so can't say much about the some scenes but the dialogues and R rated dialogues were fantastic.
Make up was heavily done, faces looked young and deliberately made porcelain smooth.
I felt that the team was deliberately trying to mock mutant costumes. And that Ryan was mocking Wesley Snipes blade by making him look between Mr. Sinister, Midnight Suns blade.
The direction was really good. stayed true to the original franchise and I got AirWolf vibes too.
Reasons why this movie was bad. There was no need to have a child character. No reason to joke in a dangerous situation, the cliche stupid friend and cliche sacrifice.
So this plot was good in tbe 80s and 90s but nowadays I would keep children away from watching anything on the subject because they are impressionable. We already have a lot of nonsense around AI girlfriends.
The movie was an absolute disappoint because it basically justifying the actions of a m*!u+R"*d_e@r1R and showed it's ok to ____ fa3m/il2y members.
Looking forward to a sequal.
I was a bit disappointed by the casting choice for the lead actor. But Malissa McCarthy did an excellent job.
A must watch for every picky youngster and those who have had breakups.
I am a millennial and someone once called out 'ok boomer'. I don't think it's an insult. This movie is lovely break amongst all the lousy gimmicky influencer, AI and other nonsense. All three leads are great.
I think teenage girls should go and watch it.
Could not stomach Meredith Hagner's character. Spotlight on John Cena was less in this movie. It was not as good as I was expecting.
There is no way to sugarcoat the review. While this movie has sloppy writing and b-grade production with stock footage. It actually does a PERFECT job of showing how influencers and Gen-Z are or can be naive, narcissistic and clueless. A nice wake-up call to get your act together. Others can just skip the first 29 minutes of the movie.

This could have been really good. The casting director did a bad job casting the b-grade female ensemble.
Lost interest 16 minutes in by the time opening credits showed up. Unrealistic fast paced action.
This theme has been done before, more than once. It was predictable.
The James Gunn brand can't improve it any further any further. Doesn't need to. The movie was actually good.
A great movie and connection to the cult character that is IJ. A must watch!!! :clap:
it's the typical, the same betrayal, descrption plots, training for revenge, final fight. same thing different IP. Just another boring redundent storyline.
one review said, it breaks the 4th wall. No it does not. A little anti climactic but entertaining. Felt, kinda short on story.
Action sequences are directed terribly. They will make you nauseous, very shaky even on arc camera shot rigs.
The ending totally ruined the movie, because I am a believer in happy endings.
Don't get any ideas. it is a really dum idea to travel with the ashes of a loved one.
This movie could have been great. It's a waste of time.
