Interesting characters with some uncomfortably realistic beats, great spin on a heist film. Let down by some loose ends but worth the watch.
7.5/10

The Clown Prince of Crime

Three Billboards - 7.5/10 Good film
That scene alone is worth at least 6 points
Obviously I don't agree. Nothing in it is compensatory enough to garner a 6/10. As I mentioned, even when I was thinking to myself - ''wait a minute, this was a good sce - ohhhh..that line, that delivery, no.'' The very last scene between Anakin and Obi-Wan on Mustafar comes to mind - great until Anakin's utterly juvenile ''I hate you!'' line reminding you of what a twat the character has been throughout AOTC and ROTS and how unlike the OT Vader he is. Scene ruined.
Well you've got to bite the bullet and watch TPM now, lol.

Agree to disagree I guess then. The prequels are 33% good, 33% nostalgia, and 33% so bad it’s good to me.

How To Train Your Dragon 3: The Hidden World - C+
An underwhelming villain and disjointed plot elements all lead up to an ending that while very emotional, feels rushed considering it is the end of the series and completely falls apart when examined logically. Its like putting your dog to sleep for a splinter. Dramatic sure, but also dumb and unnecessary.

I watched it, while we were entertained, my family found it unintentionally funny in many places.

Interesting... I loved it. I thought it was much better than the second film, both visually and narratively. The ending did feel rushed though.

Did you notice the Alpha from Dragons 2 was in the Hidden World?

X-Men - 7/10
That opening scene with a young Eric is still one of the most poignant, well done scenes of any comic book movie I can think of. It hung with me on my first viewing in the theater and it still does. The final fight scene doesn’t hold up too well now but overall a great movie.

There was a lot I missed, and if I did notice the Alpha then it didn’t stick wth me. I saw it the once but I’d happily see it again.

Sorry --- X-Men or X-Men: First Class? I'm thinking of young Erik in the death camp?
A Quiet Place: 8/10
Plexworthy: Yup
Rewatchability: 6/10
Overall a nice change from the loud films we all have gotten used to these days. Quiet but tense and riveting.
Would be nice to see what the larger world was up too and how the issue was handled in other places.
Great to see indie films making a strong showing the last few years in the horror/sci-fi realm.

It's held up very well over the years.. plenty of great action scenes,
and some good lines in it.

For me most of it was a mess.
The villain had no clear or relatable goal other than "killing dragons makes you brave". He was essentially just like the villain from the last movie but less interesting. And while fairly irrelevant, all I could think when I saw him onscreen was that he looked exactly like Anthony Bourdain
The decision early on to straight up abandon Berk was ultimately meaningless.
The Hidden World element had absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the plot. Nor is it really explained what it is.
Hiccup's original plan was for everyone to move into the Hidden World. No one ever explains why this plan is abandoned.
While it made sense for Hiccup to release Toothless to allow him to live his life (although it was incredibly rushed considering that the two were basically symbiotic creatures for the past 10 years) it is never explained why absolutely everyone decided on a dime to completely ditch their dragons and have everyone be ok with it.
The decision to ditch the dragons completely contradicts the theme of the entire freaking series, which is that humans and dragons are stronger and happier together and aren't meant to be apart.
Considering it was established in the movie that The Hidden World was only a short flight from New Berk, why weren't Hiccup and Toothless constantly visiting one another? It appears that they hadn't seen each other in 10 years. They could have visited every day had they wanted to.
