WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn - Good

Adam Neumann is a total wannabe cult leader. The doc does a great job if showing just how nobody knew what they hell the company does. Neumann made out like a bandit though.
 
Terminator: Salvation

It's an odd mix with the FX especially with Marcus. I thought he looked like a weird walking Photoshop job as he had no blood when damaged. Maybe there was to much push to get PG-13.

Watching this again though, I think it deserves some credit for trying to push forward and progress the story. Even having the guts to introduce a new character and not rely on Arnold as a main character. Arnold's brief appearance was a good call-back to T1 as well. I also like all the new robots.

Marcus' character arc could have been a lot better though.

I would’ve liked to have seen a sequel with that cast.
 
Arnold should've played a villain T-800 instead of old good guy terminator imo.
An evil arnold with less action set pieces and a tone more akin to The Terminator would probably be the only way to cast him without rehashing the same old formula.

I liked Moon Bloodgood's (that's a hell of a name) character Blair Williams.

I saw Salvation in theaters when it came out and liked it at the time. Not sure how well it holds up but hopefully well.


Also, that was like The Summer of Sam (Worthington)

I rewatched it a year or so ago it holds up well actually. I for one liked the movie I remember it getting a mixed reception.

I still remember seeing T3 in theater I was so hyped for that one. I also rewatched it recently and enjoyed the watch.
 
Without Remorse - Amazon. Was ok. An old Tom Clancy book that completely ignored the book, but was still sort of "Clancy-ish".

Wasn't bad, wasn't anything amazing. The revenge action thing has just been done too well in other movies. This one doesn't do much to add to it.

Agreed. It was entertaining enough for a direct to streaming type movie, but if you're going into this excited to finally see a beloved Clancy novel about one of the most beloved Clancy characters finally made into a movie, you're going to be crazy disappointed. For how many times the book has been in development over the last 20 years to be made into a movie, I can't believe this is the one that was finally made. Aside from trying to trick in Clancy fans (like I was), the only correlation to the Clancy universe is using a couple familiar names and the most generic lame outline of the character. I also can't believe Taylor Sheridan was involved in writing the screenplay, hopefully we learn his version was butchered or something, as this is far and away the worst movie his name has been attached to.

I sure hope the Terminal List series that Amazon is working on turns out better than this.

I see this movie divides people between either finding it okay or a disaster lol
It is mostly the latter but with good stuff entwined in it. The Scorpio and Sub Zero stuff is good, but makes up only 15-20 minutes of the movie. The brutality is good. Most of the characters are bad, none more so than the dull, unintresting, and frankly pointless main character Cole Young.

I heard they have green lit a sequel. Hope they make an established character, like Jhonny Cage, the main protaganist. Stick to the actual Mortal Kombat tournament. Trim the characters down a little. Plus some recasting of important characters like Shang Tsung & Raiden really needs to happen.
