The Dumbest Scene In Movie History
Sometimes to really appreciate the scale of a disaster, you need to break it down a little. So it back and enjoy as I examine a key scene from Rebel Moon Part 2 - possibly the dumbest 3 minutes in cinema history.

Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare - Decent But Disappointing
Переглядів 599 тис.21 годину тому
While it might not have been the all-action extraveganza promised in the trailers, and definitely not one of Guy Ritchie's better films, Ministry was still a decent WW2 adventure movie. But could have been so much more. Want to help support this channel?

The Battle For Warhammer Has Begun
Переглядів 1,1 млн14 днів тому
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only The Message. Well, it was only a matter of time before they came for Warhammer. Games Workshop's recent decision to alter the lore of their game universe has opened the floodgates, and there will be demands for more. Believe that.
Civil War - Sound And Fury, Signifying Nothing

Well, talk about disappointment. I'd hoped Alex Garland's new thriller would have given us a gripping story filled with interesting characters, but instead what we got was a bland, empty collection of scenes with no strong story to tie them together. What a wasted opportunity.

I didn't have high hopes for this one, but I must admit, Amazon surprised me with Fallout - a pretty decent adaptation of the best selling game series.

Going straight from Godzilla Minus One to The New Empire was quite the change of pace, but was it worth it? Is it possible for a big dumb monster movie to be just a little too dumb, or should you just switch your brain off and enjoy? Let's find out.

All of this was true. And then along came season 3. While not perfect (of course) at least it was actual and passable fan service. Star Wars fans, be jealous.
Thanks for running interference so the rest of us who might be curious don't waste our precious time watching this nostalgia crushing drivel :)
this series sucks. I can't even get through the fourth episode. For a world that is post apocalyptic, they have little sense in the most basic self defense, situational awareness and they just randomly clunk around mistakenly surviving. For one, the BOS character has less sense than a plebe in his first year of the academy and he supposedly was there for years. He randomly loses his weapon all the time. You know they would have trained him otherwise. He walks away from the power armor like it's going to protect itself. Even in the game you didn't do that. It's just an idiotic Series where it is far from what the original game would have started out from the beginning
That was a wonderful movie girls...now go make me a sandwich!
When the ESG money runs out, then maybe they can get back to making real movies again.
What happened to directors I through IX?
Everything looks so cool in these movies tho
Obviously everyone from/in Africa Is black.
I can't believe I'm saying this @The Critical Drinker, but you should actually review Unsung Hero. 99% of the movies made within a stone's throw of CCM or the Christian movie scene make me vomit, but man, they got the emotional complexity of the story right. IMO, amazing.
This show is terrible 🤣😞🤣
This was easily the best superhero movie EVER !
Season 7 at least had 10 episodes and tbh wasn't so bad compared to this shite
Oppenheimer and Barbie both destroyed my last shred of hope that movies can ever be good again. The Lord of the Rings days are over. Big bro did it.
Thank you
The orchestra?... The idea stolen from "Under Siege"! Man, that "Rebel Moon" is so baad!
My sons in a high school jazz ensemble and I’ve been waiting a solid 2 years since the Drinker’s review for him to get one enough so we could watch it together for the first time. What a film. Wow.
Totally embarrassment!
Compared to godzilla and kong, and every movie from that series, this one is kind of good, BUT the ending is such a copout (twice) it angered me! they manage to do an adult movie for almost 1 and a half hour and then decide to end it like a fucking kids movie!
It was a different telling of James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgement Day
My my how the mighty have fallen! Unsubed
I don't see how a guy can critique anything if he doesn't point out the Snyder's on the nose Illuminati eye 👁️ embroidery on the hoods of the musicians playing the movie background music breaking the 4th wall so hard I thought this may be a Velma live action cartoon.
I Don't Care For. Or Like, Your Speech Or Your Opinion!!! 😠
Really impressive movie, but I thought that the lead actor was weak. I rarely care about these things, but I noticed his acting so it did matter to me.
When I saw the green goblin baby introduced I knew who their intended audience was.
i wish it was true would be one horrible channel on youtube less xD
I'm perplexed by Henry Cavill. The man is godlike in his appearance and a great actor, but he seems to only get absolute shitty roles
A f*cking Alien
This reminds me of Italian Economist Carlo M. Cipolla when he wrote an article The 5 Laws Of Stupid People. It moves me that he used comedy in the teaching of economics. Stupid people measure themselves by their intentions not the results. That movie is clueless woke crap.
In Fallout 3 there was the Oasis mission. But it's all the green that I remember seeing in that game...
Didn't the the enporer used to be trans
She was given a golden goose. She chose to strangle, pluck, and fry it. Why is she still in the picture.
guess I'm the only one that found it average, it was a lot of fan service with all the nods to the game, main one being the music, but so much of the background was just references it was distracting from the actual story happening in the show. I also didn't like how we were switching between 4 different characters point of view, made it hard to follow and keep track of who is where doing what and so on. overall I found this entire series very average, a few good parts such as the sections inside vault 33 where characters did have some development. but i did enjoy finding the reference to enjoy the time i had in the game. and also found some of the lore related to vault-tec interesting. everything else was fairly bland and so few things that just didn't lead to anything. Did Lucy have character development? she was naive from the beginning and is naive at the end. there was only a hint in the last few moments of a shift of character. i cant think of a moment where she learned anything, or even had a shred of doubt about her "golden rule"
That's hardcore about the titanic music crew.
We still using the R word? Yikes…
Dafoe is amazing. His monologue in this movie about Neptune is wild.
basically an even more cringe-inducing inglorious bastards
I pirated this movie online and i still want my money back.
Just finished the season and it was a lot of fun. I’m not a gamer but you didn’t really need to be to pick up on a lot of the elements of the story.
Honestly, the concept of using the boiler room isn't too bad an idea, if it actually does something for how the ship operates. While it's hardly the ideal location for a ceremony, the idea of the royal family watching the 'heart' of the ship (assuming you want to use the fuel supplier rather than the ships engine to refer to the heart) start beating could make sense if this is to be the kingdoms latest and greatest warship. This would warrant a band for after the boiler is brought to life. This concept is tossed out by the king being confused about the boilers not being lit. I mean, your ceremony could have started by the simple method of having the king and queen light the first boiler themselves, insinuating the kingdoms latest dreadnought was "brought to life" by the royal family. The circle could then stab the monarchs in the back, metaphorically and physically, and the scene can play out with the monarchs "going missing" (i.e. shove the corpses into the very boiler they lit). While this wouldn't redeem the scene, it would at least serve as some kind of way to explain the choice of location within universe.
Earlier OJ says don’t look in the horses eyes in the scene at the studio cause the horse acts out same thing with the alien it’s an animal instinct
I got 7 min in to the film then swithed if off!
Any chance you would do a review of the Netflix show Dark? Has anyone else in this thread seen it if so what did you think? All I can say about it is it blew my mind. Incredible show!
The evil empire using coal to power their ships tells me everything I need to know about the writers.
I haven't played any of the games but i enjoyed the show very much. For me because i didn't play the game and had absolutely no idea about the story the pace was very good. Waiting for season 2 for sure
Zack Snyder is like the godfather of David Benioff and Dan Weiss
THE DRINKER L-I-K-E-D IT !!!
yeah Im surprised myself. Too many things in the show don't make sense (though my main annoyance is Moldavers story... terrible) lol
Fair play for giving it a go but considering he slates other movies for being generic this looks pretty terrible.
The last lines said it all. The first episode didn't convince you to watch the rest. Fair enough. Me, myself, I did like most of it, and overall as a fan I'd encourage fans to give it a go, so they may have their own opinion. That's my two cents, five years later. Cheers.
You idiots pay for this crap, not me.
I just feel sorry for seing Djimon Hounsou wasted here😭
