Better than Stallone!
Stallone's Dredd was a confused and confusing mess.
This one is a streamlined action flick that still manages to do the characters justice.
The main actors inhabit their respective characters quite well to my taste, even though I still think Urban comes off a little too much as a nice guy to really play a tough guy. Still quite a good Dredd.
Most surprisingly of all, considering the subject matter, the movie avoids any form of current political commentary, which is a good thing.

Failed its saving throw
Atrocious. At least, not woke.
Instead, it tries far too hard to be modern, speak to a young urban audience, and thus loses any epic scale it might have aimed for, considering.
Also, the director probably failed to save against paralysis, and most actors against spells. Feeblemind, presumably.
Ah well, at least there's still the visuals. Except nope, horrendous.
Feed this one the a gelatinous cube.

Entertaining, but lacks pacing
Gorier (more gory?) than the previous installments.
This movie tackles the (even) more serious and grim part of Hellboy's story, and proves adequate but tepid. It especially lacks any real buildup. Coming a good decade after Hellboy II, it has to go through summary character establishment all over again, which wastes runtime while leaving its heroes shallow.
Sign of the times: Alice, an Irish redhead, is suddenly mixed-race, and gets her girlboss moment in the post-climax scene. Nothing against the actress herself, she manages a decent enough London accent for a Texas girl, but she's an obvious quota cast.
Nothing too bad, but, if it doesn't change anything, why change it then?

Same as #1: pretty and shallow
Same opinion as for the first movie: visually ambitious, lacks the depth of the original comics, but still entertaining, and Perlman is a miss, sadly in the titular role.

Visually interesting, but not quite up to the comics
The movie nails Mignola's visuals rather accurately, although Del Toro's influence is unmistakably there.
The actors do a good job with their respective characters.
All this, except for Hellboy. Which can be construed as an issue in a movie named Hellboy.
In my opinion, Perlman misses the character by a country mile. His HB comes off as arrogant, big-mouthed and immature. Which is to say, Perlman probably shines through the makeup. Said makeup being vaguely adequate only.
All in all, a rather fun action romp, but lacking the substance of the comics.

More 'Dumb' Zoomer Comedy
Some DEI casting and some feminist nonsense. The majority of astronauts throught history have been men but here it seems most of
the candidates are female. I only made it about 40 minutes and that was enough. The acting is fine and all, Roberts is a good enough actor and capable of doing comedy but this is just not good. It's another one of those 'stupid' comedies except it's just not funny and entirely too stupid and implausible. Dumb comedy works when done right and has been around for ever-Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello all made successful careers out of it. Even more recently Adam Sandler and the SNL people built empires around it but it seems like modern writers just can't pull it off.

Boring action film
"Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" features impressive CGI, but when a movie is mostly CGI then I raise the bar high for the plot and pacing. It did not meet my expectations. The movie is too long, with too much action yet too much boredom.
On the woke front, the male orangutan Raka, played by Bortus of "The Orville", says the line, "he was my village", referring to the bones of an ape on a funeral pyre. To make sure I heard that correctly, I searched the Internet, which pointed me to three websites: one gay, one furry, plus Reddit. Their consensus is that that this orangutan was gay, but they complain that there should have been much more gay and gay-bestiality stuff, panning the movie as a result. This is why we can't have nice movies. And now I need to wash my eyes out with bleach, though I was exposed only to words.

A Step Down From The First
Canadian made movie with a large amount of DEI. Media good, police corrupt and bad. The little girl is a bit of a Mary Sue and an annoying girl boss type attitude. Also her acting is very bad, no emotional range, no facial expressions, just blank monotone line delivery.
The story is a decent continuation of the first one but despite having 4 times the budget this one actually feels more low budget
than the first. Very disappointing as I actually enjoyed the original.

SyFy Channel Quality
Massive amount of DEI casting in a 5% black France. Lesbian characters. This is typical feminist garbage, where all positions of power are held by females and most main characters are female, and superior to the males. There is virtually no white male characters anywhere to be seen in the entire movie other than a few background ones. The makers of this movie seem to think France is entirely populated with women and minorities. Also not woke but politically motivate is the very preachy environmentalist propaganda. The acting is mostly bad, the CG is cheap and poorly done, the writing and story is unrealistic nonsensical trash. All the characters are just stupid people doing stupid things. This would be right at home on SyFy channel.

Physics does not exist
The Chinese production "Three-Body" precedes the American Netflix adaptation "3 Body Problem." The Chinese production is vastly better. My only criticism is that some actors are weak. Watching it with subtitles, I was captivated by the first six episodes. If my opinion changes, I will update accordingly.
The show builds on a feeling many of us have: something is wrong with the universe. For example, quantum entanglement... what's up with that?!
In the first few episodes of "Three-Body," scientists face the shattering of their belief in physics, and the series similarly challenged my worldview in several ways:
1. Hollywood has never produced a show of this quality.
2. The show alerted me that China has a right akin to the Fifth Amendment, allowing individuals to remain silent to avoid self-incrimination. I confirmed this online. In the show, military investigators pressured an individual, effectively nullifying that right. This mirrors the authoritarian tactics seen in the U.S., where human rights are rapidly deteriorating. The two countries are growing more similar with regards to human rights.
3. Although China is now an economic and scientific powerhouse, 60 years ago its people were starving, poorer than most Africans. A theme of the show is that exponential growth over time is all powerful. "Three-Body" mirrors China's plan for world domination through economic and technological growth.
I now realize that China is on course to surpass the United States along almost every dimension: art, science, military, quality of living, and maybe ultimately freedom.
Of course, the show is intended as Chinese propaganda, but it doesn't feel that way. Unlike the heavy-handed propaganda in China's "The Wandering Earth" films, the message of "Three-Body" is based on truth and presented seamlessly. Interestingly, the author of "The Three-Body Problem" novel, Liu Cixin, also wrote "The Wandering Earth" novel.
"Three-Body" outlines a blueprint for America's defeat. This show resonates with my soul, causing me to contemplate politics, quantum physics, and the nature of reality. Like the lead character, I am shaken.
I AM NOT A TURKEY SCIENTIST!

Another Middling Comedy
I only made it 45 min into this but the only thing I noticed was a secondary lesbian character. The acting is all fine but the writing is terrible. Effron's character is just annoying and very unlikable. The dialog is bad and again another 'comedy' with no actual funny content. A few amusing moments maybe but that's it. it's not really a terrible movie it's just bland and boring.

I'm going to bump this film a bit
Ok. I get it that Jessica Alba is quite petite compared to the badass dudes she allegedly kicks ass of. Girl Power! I don't know. Is Hollywood pandering to aspiring girl kid assassins? Or, to men that find Jessica super sexy and hot? Or both? The plot is absurd, but the action, albeit unbelievable, is fun. I bet Hollywood is looking to call out those troglodyte males who accidently say that Jessica Alba is one awesome looking woman, forgetting it's Girl Power.
