I will read it after i watched the new Kingsman.

I am not supposed about any of it BUT then again it is a Bond parody and like Bond, it is proudly and unapologetically British and conservative.

Not sure if this really qualifies as a "great" movie. It does have some scary moments, though.

Only a total movie snob would hate Spiderman and Fast and Furious. These are great movies and I dont even have time to explain all the ways you are wrong...

Chinese customers are the equivalent of our 50s culture. Just flashy fun, no taste or discernment. It will pass, but it may take a while.

Homecoming was a decent movie but I was angry that they didn't even reference Uncle Ben and Raimi's first two films will always (by me) be considered to be the best out of the Spider-Man movies. Also, noticed how 6 out of 10 of those top grossing films are from Disney alone.

Also, what the hell is "Wolf Warrior 2"?

I went into Kingsman I prepared to hate it. Saw the trailer was not impressed, but by the time of the last battle I kind of embraced it's kookiness. I hope they recreated it for Kingsman II. Just an entertaining film.

Didn't watch a ton of new films in 2017, but IMO, Dunkirk was the best film of the year. Totally different than anything I'd seen in years. Did justice to the story.

Best scene in film, since Pulp Fiction.

I haven't laughed that hard in years.
