I’ll die on the hill that the 2010 remake of the Karate Kid is better than the 1984 original

    Again another film I haven’t seen for 15+ years, still so good. 

    It’s been beaten to death by everyone but the special effects and look of this is so good for the time and still holds up great today.

    Didn’t realize as a kid the severe lack of lightsabers in this one

    This is exactly what I was hoping for. Perfect blend of sci fi and comedy which unfortunately sounds like the exact mix the academy hates.

    The film itself tackles various social political issues in a pretty cool way. Robert Pattinson playing multiple versions of Mickey was so good, was telling Jess I think one version of the Mickey’s is very close to Rob Pat in Tenet.

    I think it’s very the nose who the character of Mark Ruffalo is based…

    Performances are incredible. Outstanding job by Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham for episodes 3 & 4. Seeing how they authentically did all these as proper one take episodes was so cool and I think narratively the one take episodes helped to make this feel so real. 

    Pretty important piece of work with the message it’s saying. It was honestly so well done with having just 4 episodes, Jess I think the proper way to do it is to actually watch them back…
