Count_Drachma 09/05/22 4:19:14 AM #1:	Over the long weekend, I've watched Conan (2011) and The Wolverine. They were enjoyable. I had overlooked Conan since it kinda bombed. Now I'm disappointed it didn't get any sequels. Then last weekend or the weekend before, I watched Dracula Untold. Although it was pretty lousy, it had its moments. I'm fine with that not getting any sequels, even if it tanked a cinematic universe. --- Everybody's got a price / Everybody's got to pay / Because the Million Drachma Man / Always gets his way.

Count_Drachma 09/05/22 5:35:20 AM #3:	JigsawTDCII posted... really insightful feel like i learned a lot from your reviews thanks Not as much to say about these ones, tbh. TW's story has some glaring logic gaps to make the final act work, but it's still probably my favorite X-Men franchise film so far. Conan more or less delivered on what I might want from a fantasy film, although the gore and deaths got silly at times. However, it hooked me from the opening narration. And then I have a somewhat longer version of my thoughts about Dracula Untold on the horror board. --- Everybody's got a price / Everybody's got to pay / Because the Million Drachma Man / Always gets his way.

Straughan 09/05/22 5:38:25 AM #4:	Dracula Untold was worth it just for the cave scene with Charles Dance. https://youtu.be/RlGLv50LDz8 --- Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process they do not become a monster. <cite>Straughan posted [p:967804447] in Zeus watch...

ParanoidObsessive 09/05/22 8:28:12 AM #5:	Count_Drachma posted... I had overlooked Conan since it kinda bombed. Now I'm disappointed it didn't get any sequels. I feel like it mostly bombed because the average person has the indelible impression in their minds that Conan = Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Jason Momoa film is probably closer to the actual Conan stories in terms of how he's presented and the sort of story being told, but that doesn't matter because the average person/moviegoer doesn't actually know anything about the original stories. Sort of similar to the thing that hurt John Carter when that came out (because the director was an idiot and assumed everyone today grows up reading Edgar Rice Burroughs, so they didn't bother to advertise it effectively). Though it also kind of suffered from being a "too many cooks" situation that got stuck in development hell for a while and never quite gelled the way it was meant to. A more streamlined production probably would have resulted in a better movie (though it still likely would have bombed, because again, Arnold). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:967805755] in Zeus watch...

Twiroach 09/05/22 8:52:54 AM #6:	To be honest I don't think the average person has any impression of Conan at all anymore. It's not a strong brand. --- http://i.imgur.com/sQkdboU.jpg <cite>Twiroach posted [p:967806030] in Zeus watch...
