Yeah, it was fine. The real reason to see it is Florence Pugh as her sister,.


She is an English actress who is 25 years old and her boyfriend is former Scrubs star Zach Braff, 46. Yeah, that'll last. It's like Angelina Jolie being married to Billy Bob Thornton. Doomed from the start.

I suspect we will be seeing a lot more of her in future Marvel projects.


She is reprising the same character later this year in a Hawkeye mini-series, streaming on Disney+

I'm only on 2 streaming services
Sling and MLB (I watch all of Ohtani's games)
Once baseball over, end MLB and switch to Apple for Foundation

M. Night Shyamalan has made his share of bad movies. But even his bad movies are usually extremely watchable (The Happening is probably one of the most entertaining terrible movies ever).

I think this one falls in the category of bad but entertaining. You won’t be bored. But you may say “WTF did I just watch?” afterwards.

And there is a really bad exposition dump at the end that explains everything that we have just seen. Ask yourself, “why is this character telling this room full of people all of this stuff that they should already know?” The answer is: to explain to the viewer. That’s just bad writing.

All of his movies are bad even the first one with Bruce Willis. I hate movies that have a 'fooled ya' ending like 6th Sense. I found the rest of his movies to be unwatchable.

Oh yeah. The gargantuan box office smash that was nominated for a bunch of Oscars... terrible film.

I guess EB only likes film which foreshadow a predictable ending. He's just weird.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I like movies did they have good acting and a decent story, in that order. Most movies do not have that

WAP won song of the year. I'm not sure that awards can automatically be argued to be indicative of critical value anymore.

"Being John Malkovich" was interesting.
