I think you have to be of a certain age and when this movie came out. There are comedies that have come out where I'm just not the target audience, yet it's highly recieved by much younger people.
Now I do get watching way older films as an adult. Some things are just much better from the 80’s/90’s when you grew up on them than watching them for the first time in recent years. I’ve been trying to catch up on old films I’ve never seen, it’s nice when you find one that holds up still today and you enjoy it.
Honestly I think some comedies age well because you just don’t get comedies like that anymore.
Okay, so I watched Creed iii at the cinema.
I think Jordon B did well as a debut director. The blackout arena in the end is a bit goofy though, but its a nitpick.
He train hard for that body, so did Majors. kudos to them.
As far as story, Its fairly predicable. i think there should be more screen time for the antagonist to show his side of the story. Most perspective were from Creed. point of view
Its interesting how they handled Viktor. I think they may want idea of a standalone film with him. Notice when they spar, they never show who beat who.
I say its better than the first, but not as good as the 2nd. Antagonist need more screen time, & give us a way to sympathise for him. Missed oppounity.

Outlaw King
Creed 3
The King
All were nicely shot and acted, but over-reliant on predictable and formulaic drama, and not nearly enough attention went into the action sequences. Don't see myself rewatching any of them.

Came across the Jack Nicholson film As Good As It Gets with Helen Hunt for sale on Vudu for cheap. This is such a great movie I love it. Never know if I should laugh, feel emotional in parts, or think Jack is an a hole throughout this… film holds up well.
Love that movie. It makes me want to be a better man.
Caught Ant-Man last night. I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Sure I rolled my eyes more than a few times, but really enjoyed the highs.
Kang was great, and I'm very interested in what's coming with him for future roles. Especially Loki Season 2.

Scream 6 - I liked this quite a bit more than 5, despite being a direct sequel with much of the same cast. Not perfect, but it's a fun slasher.

Creed III - Good
Jordan got creative with it. I liked it. Felt rushed though. Should have been a half hour longer to flesh it out a bit more.
You know where part four is headed. Did a nice job of setting the story for that.
LOVED the ASL integration. Something I’ve always wanted to learn and become fluent.

Everything Everywhere All At Once - Can't decide if it was good but it is unique so I am glad it won awards.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods - Good
Not sure where the bad reviews comes from and being 54% on Rotten? I quite enjoyed it. The ending was tacked on though, didn’t ruin it thought. I would have left it as it was.

John Wick 2 - Rewatching to prepare for next weekend.
Shaft - 1971

Scream VI - Full of dumb characters. The killers were easy to figure out too.
Side note: Hayden Panetitere looks like a fem robot when she talks.

Took my boys to see 65. It was an entertaining Dino survival film, we enjoyed it.
John Wick 3 rewatch. More prep for this weekend.
Ronin - Still great.
It is pretty crazy watching this old stuff. Really shows how poor modern movies are in general.

Weird older movie STALKER.
Really slow first half but kind of interesting visual direction. Think this guy did the original SOLARIS.
