You realize he still plans to make his next film his last, right? He's just not making The Movie Critic for whatever reason.

I like The Ritual and the Hellraiser reboot. I should get on this.The Night House
Stars the excellent Rebecca Hall, Sarah Goldberg showing she has non-comedic chops, and a greying Vondie Curtis-Hall.
Same director as the excellent The Ritual and the not-as-good but better-than-I thought-it-would be Hellraiser reboot.
The plot kept me guessing for most of the movie, though I thought it became obvious what was going on well before the protagonist worked it out. As things go, that was pretty good. With few exceptions (e.g., Barbarian) I don't often fail to guess what's going on in modern horror fare.
The antagonist is shown with some clever uses of negative space (you'll have to watch it to see what I mean), so it's a bit unfortunate that a moe mundane representation is used in the climactic scenes.
Still, overall, this was pretty good.

It's currently streaming on Disney+. Unless you want to sail the seas, of course. ArrrrI like The Ritual and the Hellraiser reboot. I should get on this.
And it's not like there are enough space operas being made, especially big budget ones, where fans can skip these. I thought they were well worth watching just to scratch an itch that can seldom be scratched by something remotely new. I have hope for the director's cuts too. My biggest gripe was it seemed like the actors phoned in their performances, though part 2 was a little better in this regard.I watched Rebel Moon 2: The Scargiver on Netflix. It's much the same as the first although I would say the action is a bit more exciting this time around. The story and characters are still the weakest point but this time at least the characters have the backstory from the first movie so they are not quite so paper thin. It still has excessive use of slo-mo sequences. The quality of the special effects are as good as the first one.
It very likely there will be a part 3 based on Mr Snyders Twitter and the fact that there are still some loose ends in the story.
I think I scored the original a 6/10 and I would score this one a 6.5/10. It's a forgettable movie but you likely won't regret the time spent watching it.
I felt the same, yet the film still managed to make the rhythm feel relaxed. There are a few jumps in time where I could swear they cut off a part to keep the movie under 3 hours, though (like when Paul has to spend some time in the desert to be admitted by the Fremen).Maybe my one issue with it is it feels really crammed. Like a lot of important things happened in the span of 2 and a half hours.
Don't get me wrong, I also liked it; but it's also somehow forgettable.I liked Oblivion more than you guys apparently did. It's one of the very few movies with Tom Cruise that I actually enjoyed, as I think he's really overrated in general. I liked the plot twist and the way it ended.
I thought it was memorable enough. Movies are very subjective though. I found Top Gun forgettable, but most people seem to think it's great for some reason.Don't get me wrong, I also liked it; but it's also somehow forgettable.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it again in 5-10 years and have forgot most about it again.
Rain Man is by far my favourite film with Tom Cruise and one of my top films in general.I thought it was memorable enough. Movies are very subjective though. I found Top Gun forgettable, but most people seem to think it's great for some reason.
The only popular Tom Cruise film that I like and agree with most people about is Interview with the Vampire.
