  Did it look cool? Yes. 
  Did it feel weirdly paced? Definitely.
  Did the speeches and script feel a tad colour-by-numbers? Sure. 
  Did the CGI sharks feel a bit strange? Certainly. 
  Did the film have two or so more characters than it needed? Probably.

  The Fly 1986

  ★★★½ Watched 24 Aug 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Aug 2020

  A supremely stylistic and technical showpiece - but likewise carries on the sad tradition of whiteness in martial arts flicks.
