    Bad Boys: Ride or Die

    ★★★

    this felt like the movie equivalent of those fake mobile game ads, but the action scenes were fucking insane. need these brothers to direct the next mortal kombat movie fr

    also martin lawrence is just a goblin in a human's body right? he contorts his faces into expressions i didn't know were possible.

    nobody should this movie 5 stars though because we got dj khaled instead of messi making a cameo.

    For a Few Dollars More

    ★★★½

    the direction and framing in this movie are so perfect, it kept me engaged throughout as we travel with clint and mortimer over the dry lands. it also had some great comedic moments and more horse propaganda, he's crushing it with those takes of horse-riding over the desert.

    improves on the first film but still hoping to get more out of it or maybe I haven't warmed up to westerns yet so let's see how the finale turns out.
    clint again shows up with large amounts of white boy swagger but I'm not feeling the cruise energy from him.

    Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King

    ★★

    I can't believe im saying this, but it was mid. a lot of action for nothing, the fights were cliched and boring (except for a few scenes) and the villain monologues were so stupid and repetitive. I wish they had more character interactions because that's where black clover is at its peak.

    was happy to see a lot of magic combos but they need to bring the anime back, please

    shoutout jester though his animations were insane and the ending had a nice touch

    essentially a redditor's idea of a movie, has nothing of significance happening throughout the movie, just a lot of set pieces where they mow down dummies since there's never any real tension. you could genuinely read the plot of wikipedia and it would be no different from watching it.

    guy ritchie doesn't have the sauce he did with snatch.
