EternallDarkness Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 While it may well suck, I must admit I am looking forward to seeing this one...what is shocking is that I just checked on my AMC app and 4 of the showing for Friday are already sold out!

Greatoneshere Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 It's co-written and directed by Jeff Wadlow, who gave us such cinematic treasures as Cry Wolf, Never Back Down, Kick-Ass 2, True Memoirs of an International Assassin, and Truth or Dare. Never Back Down and Kick-Ass 2 were solid enough, the other 3 movies are outright garbage so I woudn't expect much from this unfortunately.

EternallDarkness Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 I have to say I rather enjoyed the movie. Yes, it was more or less stupid, but since I wasn't expecting much, I wasn't disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of Jeff Wadlow's movies are garbage, that's why I'm curious . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emblazon Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 We want to go see it, but not over Bad Boys 3 or Birds off Prey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people call me pretentious for liking Only God Forgives or Mandy, I'm like: "bitch, I love Bad Boys II and Never Back Down, good movies are good movies".

Keyser_Soze Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Never Back Down was fun but it was part of that brief movement where MMA movies became a thing. That and Warrior came out which I would say is arguably better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw Never Back Down and I can't remember anything about KA2 other than hating Jim big time. Don't get me wrong, Fantasy Island is definitely not what you'd call a good movie, but I still managed to enjoy it. Like I said, I went in with almost no expectations of it being a good movie and managed to enjoy it, but then I often enjoy cheesy horror flicks. And as a fan of the original show I did appreciate the subtle nods to the original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warrior is a lot better than Never Back Down, but David Mamet's Redbelt is better than them both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I think the 10% on RT is unfair. It’s a stupid movie, but not a disaster by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
