ad.mixx Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 I feel like im the only one of my friends who actually likes this. Looks like it will be a decent kids movie. Quote

The Damned Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 Potentially unpopular opinion. I find it... cringey. It doesn't look that good, and I don't think Ryan Renolds is the right actor. I'm also not entirely happy with the super-gritty dirty city thing. That's not what pokemon is about. The games, even the spin-offs, and the various other media (cartoon, manga, etc) are all about how living with pokemon makes the world more nature-friendly. Even Unova, which is based upon New York City, isn't dirty and grimey. It's clean. Hell, even the desert area north of Castelia City, which is literally just Manhatten, is spotless. But the city needs to be gloomy and dirty for... what, realism? About pokemon? Also, pokemon are inherently good natured, with the bad ones only being so because of their trainers. So seeing a Mr. Mime telling them to shove it doesn't really fit. Yeah, it's kind of funny, but it doesn't work for me. It comes off as something written by a committee, not a writer. I'm sure everyone else in the world will love it, and it will do really well in ticket sales, but I'm not going to see it. It feels like a checklist of everything the shitty fan movies did, but with more money behind it. Quote

Admiral_C Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Excellent. It will be another chance for Ken Watanabe to say: "Let them fight". I will be really disappointed if he doesn't... Quote
Pipez Posted February 15, 2019 Author Posted February 15, 2019 The reference to France is weird, but the anime had a Noah's Ark reference so... Quote

I'll go a couple steps further and would extend that statement to just about everything Ryan Reynolds has ever been in (*prepares flame shield*). I just don't find the dude very funny. This role just seems like a way for him to try to take the Deadpool persona and milk it for the audience he couldn't reach in the box office with those R ratings. Quote

Granted I think a bit of that is the material he's given. Quote
Pipez Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 Looks like the director of Kong: Skull Island really enjoyed it. Quote

No matter how good an actor someone is, sometimes you can't rise above a weak script. Though I did enjoy the first Deadpool movie (haven't seen the second). I do wish it had been more satirical.

The Damned Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Maaaaaaaybe slightly cautiously hopeful that it won't be as bad as I originally thought it might be. Maybe. Mr. Hu 1 Quote
Mr. Hu Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Not expecting it to blow me away at all, but when that Squirtle came out of the water I squealed internally like I haven't since maybe the first Hobbit trailer like, 7 years ago. Quote
The Damned Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Jesus christ with a flamethrower, please burn that trailer, and that movie, with fire. Also, using Gangster's Paradise is... at least three kinds of wrong. Deathtank 1 Quote
