I Just Watched (Films)

[Maturin]

I actually prefer the theatrical cut of Fellowship (which is still overwhelmingly the best individual film of the trilogy IMO). It flows much better and the added scenes don't really change anything narratively.

TTT is a no-brainer though, the extended edition fixes a whole bunch of problems with the short version. RotK I can take either way - it contains scenes which actively worsen the theatrical version and PJ was a fool for adding them... but some other additions do fix a couple of problems.

Just found this. He goes into a lot of detail so it gets into a bit of military speak in places.

utter slaughter

Enjoyed that!

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
I loved Fury Road, it was balls out insane with some amazing stunts and action. This is also nuts with some great action but it just felt a bit flat. I did very much enjoy but it feels a bit all over the place. There was a very obvious change from practical stunts to mostly CGI and it just lacks the excitement of FR. It interestingly adds characters from the recent game (Scrotus and Chum Bucket) and things like the maggot farm.

Very enjoyable but pales in comparison to Fury Road.

[Stormbringer]

Quite agree. It lacks the tight cohesiveness of the first and feels like a strange mashup of ideas that don't really adhere well.

Really enjoyed it. Saw a spoiler-free article that advised going into it without reviews, glad I did.

Don't watch the trailer!

Literally this second finished watching it. Great film. Actually funny bits too. Great acting all round.
I saw a youtube vide from Mark Komode saying don't watch any trailers.

I thought I'd sussed it out but there weren't really any plot twists as such, but it was so different from what I'd decided it would be about.
