Movies set mainly underwater suck and, generally speaking, underwater sequences are death for a movie. With exceptions.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This was one of the main reasons I didn't like Avatar Way of Water more. so many long, drawn-out scenes of just watching people swim around. You can tell they think we should be all "ooh" and "ahhh" when really I'm just wishing I had a remote to fast-forward.

The cringe is strong with that speech. It certainly isn’t the president’s speech in Independence Day.

Oh, I think III is a lot better than IV and V. III just breezed by and Clubber Lang and Thunderlips were great opponents.

IV seemed to be more interested in politics than sports but it still had good fight scenes. Dolph Lundgren and Brigitte Nielsen, who I think are terrible in other movies, fit their roles perfectly fine here.

But V, the story they came up with where he lost all his money was just lame.
And the acting in this one was just atrocious, by everyone involved.
It's the only movie in this franchise I truly dislike.

There are probably some decent movies in the set, but "A compendium of folk horror" is such a pretentious title of ******y.

I'll never understand the appeal of M3GAN.

Anything is possible. I still can't get past the fact she looks creepy as hell. What little kid would take one look at that and not need therapy?

I guess I'm not in the right demographic to "get it". Oh well.

I’ll agree. The movie felt too long because it was. They could have cut out a good 20+ mins of the Blue Lagoon footage, LOL.

Matrix Resurrections is such a great punk rock movie. A big eff you to everyone and I'm glad it got made.

M3GAN is a terrible movie.

I understand not enjoying it particularly, I don't understand not seeing it's 'appeal' though? The 'killer doll' genre has been "alive" (Mwuhuhaha) for nearly a century.

I can’t say I enjoyed the movie but I enjoyed the meta aspect of the movie.
