The live action Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers remake on Disney+ is SOOOOOO much better than it has any right to be.

It should be terrible, unwatchable, irredeemable garbage.

It is probably one of the best "kids" movies I've seen in the last decade.

Alita: Battle Angel.

The film looks stupid because they gave the main character giant anime eyes.

In the context of the film it makes sense and I think the look is meant to mirror the anime it is from... but for the film it still makes the film look stupid. Now the film itself is far from perfect, there is at least one storyline that is utter dogshit. However! The film ultimately was solid.

Sadly it ends setting up future films that will never happen, but I think it's still enjoyable overall.

How comes they won't be making more?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Because no one saw the first one.

Now some very influential people who were involved in the first one want to make a second one, so maybe just maybe it will happen one day... But I doubt it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I saw it. There's at least two of us.

The Lost City with Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, and Daniel Radcliffe. It seems like a tropey romance-action flick, but is more a parody of genre clichés. The writing, acting, and humour are pretty good.

Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time 🤷🏿‍♀️

We were having a movie night in our neighborhood a few years back where we got a bedsheet and a cheap projector. We hooked it up to a laptop to project a movie on someone's garage for the neighborhood kids.

We ended up projecting The Lego Movie and most of the kids lost interest about half an hour in - and were falling asleep and ready to go home.

I'll be damned if it wasn't one of the best animated movies I've ever seen. I sent my wife home with our youngest just so I could stay and finish the movie.

Everything is awesome.

Edit to add: both 1 and 2 have great soundtracks.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 hours ago

Lego movie is brilliant. It's not a kid's movie. It's so good.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Real steel. Its about boxing robots

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

I watched it yesterday for the 2nd time (first time with my son). We laugh, we cried, we danced, we were shouting out loud and watched final battle standing on our feet. I unironically think it's an excellent sport movie.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago

Alien vs. Predator... Lance Henrickson and a cast of nobodies with an intersting plot. I went in expecting full-on crap and got a real banger instead.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 17 hours ago

Last year's The Beekeper starring Jason Statham was honestly the best action movie I've seen in years. Phenomenal movie

Honestly, princess bride. I'm usually not all that into rom com type movies, but princess bride is a masterpiece

[–] [email protected] 7 points 15 hours ago

Hey, that's the metaplot of the movie!

Swiss Army Man - Daniel Redcliffe with farting as a superpower. Sounds ridiculous but really fun to watch.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 19 hours ago

Daniel Radcliffe while dead the entire movie flexes his ass cheeks as a superpower.

I thought it would be a parody of Barbie but its actually a parody of Mattel and shows how men can be confused in this world. It's a real movie for all the bros out there. Its the kind of movie I'll watch again later because its good.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Just saw this a few months ago. And gotta agree. It's a solid flick. Nothing crazy ambitious, but told a story that seems pretty haunting in the past few months.

A Knight's Tale. Not only is it a good movie but it was my introduction to Paul Bettany and Alan Tudyk and they were brilliant in it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Lets not forget Rufus Sewell, who is such an excellent villain

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Liked him since Dark City which could be another candidate for this list.

It didn't click until I'd finished watching it that they'd tricked me into loving a sports underdog movie.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I just can't get past the dance scene.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

I love it. Starts off cringe but then once the Golden Years kicks in it's magical.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Alan Tudyk is a gem! There's a scene that I love from a doc about the voice acting on Moana. Cuts to Tudyk doing chicken sounds (he played the chicken), when he slyly looks into the camera and says "I went to Julliard".

If you haven't, watch Resident Alien.

"I will fong you. I will fong you until your entrails become extrails! I will—pain! Lots of pain!"

I do believe I'll be watching this movie again today. 😁

The recent Dungeons and Dragons.

'Upgrade' is an excellent sifi B movie.
