Directed by the master of roiling visual kinesis, the man who gave us this...! :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ0gFidlro8 Remember when you have to have SOME experience making this kind of F/X movie before you got handed a big franchise reboot? Spielberg had been making F/X movies for almost ...

You should give it a shot. It’s aged extremely well, especially compared to today’s greenscreen superhero slush.

The deleted scenes reel is FASCINATING, especially the Ted Raimi stuff, which indicates that his demise in the finished film was a reshoot (and that he was left totally insane and ranting and raving in an alley after being toyed with and tormented by Darkman, instead of being killed outright). Also ...

It's obvious Disney realizes that streaming is not the fountain of money they anticipated in 2020, and are in desperat...

It did OK in theaters but the R rating undoubtedly hurt it at the box-office though, I remember the theater being packed with kids and teens (like me!) being chapperoned by their parents. I remember a lot of the comic books I was buying at the time had the poster on the back covers. Would not happe...

Sounds good though. I mean that old master really was in need of updating so it won't take much. The deleted scenes sound like the rare time Shout accessed some library materials on their own but between this and Jennifer 8 that's a good job by them. I was expecting nothing but a handful of brief s...

Someone in the BR.com forums got their copy today, and... Got my copy early, checked Deleted Scenes and there is 37 minutes worth and look to be from a film source. I fast forwarded to see what was included and the famous scene with the villain naked on the bed of gold is there! There also seems to ...

Also, same criticisms seem to apply to this movie as all the others (i.e. sections of it are completely unnecessary). He seems totally unable to reign in his tendencies. You'd think by now he'd have figured it out but... Directors have been given carte blanche with runtimes for so long, it's negati...

His movies usually get ruined by 15 minutes of vulgar excesses and it's a lesson he's yet to learn. Ironically, Argylle is a PG-13 movie! :shock: And it feels like an R-rated movie that got severely edited for that rating, with action sequences lacking the blood-bag gore I was expecting from Vaughn.

Feast or famine, it's a tough market a few minor successes like this can't offset. They need one of these every month to hit not one every quarter or longer. This is WHY studios need to push back against selling their movies to the highest-bidding streamer, especially for the kinds of mid-budget ac...

Big bummer.

I dunno...the last time Burton riffed on cheesy 50s sci-fi, we got the gleefully bonkers Mars Attacks!.

Okay, this poster is hella clever...
