Netflix / Amazon is the new age of blockbuster movie production and distribution. I don't see it as being a step down from traditional paths regarding career status.
Then again some of you dudes are ancient so there's that.

Watched it tonight. I didn’t know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised and liked it a lot.
It also reminded me of Shadowrun and Alien Nation but I stil thought it was refreshingly original. At least more original what Hollyweird normally spews out. It would have been nice to get mor background on the world it was taking place in. It would be cool to see flash backs or a preaqel to help get the big picture of how everything came to be. |

It was OK, not great, but not bad either. I didn't get an overwhelming vibe of SJW thank god.
I saw the "No Guns" rule at the block parties a mile away as well as the "the cops ruined it" comment. I despised the ghetto thug music at the beginning and end.

I seriously enjoyed it.
Now I expected some SJW-hollywood shit. A movie with what appears to be commentary about race, I was about certain they'd fuck it up, biiigtime fuck it up. Maybe not fullblown "Elephant refusing service and biology is the literal badguy, in a kids movie" like Zootopia, or the more subtle "All the goodguy competent white male characters were purposely destroyed (they're now quitters, deadbeat-dads, super pilots turned fratbros, etc), chose now from the womyn/minorities" Starwars TLJ. As mentioned a page ago, orcs, elves, human dynamic played out basically as it would in Dungeons and Dragons terms. I found the story compelling, I enjoyed the characters, even the ones I didn't think I would like. Badguys were forgettable to be honest. He was the correct Will Smith in this film
Not the diet version (Suicide Squad), the overly serious + mopey version (the film where the kid is running around the planet, so forgettable I can't remember the name), etc. It was cheesy at (many) points, I don't think it hurt my enjoyment of it. It also had "winner" moments, the bathroom scene comes to mind. I like how the played up the importance of the wand, how absolutely everyone lost their marbles, order broke down, suddenly everyone was conspiring, etc. The ending, I think they chose the wrong shot for the big scene, but damn was it enjoyable. Honestly I wonder what the film would have looked like with bigger budget. Imperfect, but if I had to rate my enjoyment, 9 out of 10. Honestly. 2 word review, "Liked it" Possibly because I expected an SJW shitfest, and found 2 likeable characters and the hollywood derp was at a minimum, I'd describe it as a tolerable level. Note that people who were shitty to Jakoby included women and minorities. The most vocal one was indeed a "fucking white male". Note how Will Smith told him, "knock it off, that shit happened 2000 years ago, let it go" or something to that effect. A - Yes there was some racial tension a long time ago, that has nothing to do with today, drop it - That's actually a pretty bold idea, for hollywood, that's practically gulag territory. |

 Around 1:33 in the movie there's a Ghost Gunner 2 along with 5 or 6 80% lowers. Looks like the prop crew got production to pay for their new rifles. And to them I say ..........Good job boys. |

Biggest problem was (common to most elf tropes) the elves were just too incongruently badass and unbeatable.
Fuck elves. Exterminate them all. Otherwise, hardly a classic, but an acceptable way to kill some time. Training Day was much better. |
