I honestly thought we had a thread... I mean hell, I saw it somewhere....
Anywho...this is one that I really support getting a modern upgrade. Looks like it will be a solid popcorn flick that has the legs to rewatch on TV for years.

This looks to be pretty solid movie from what I've heard. We'll see if it actually makes coin though. Will it suffer the fate of D&D?

Welp, got my tickets for me and my son on Sunday...

This movie is going to be absolutely horrendous, so this is more about my curiosity than anything. Hope it will at least be fun. I remember watching the trailer and the sword pretty much was a stick. Not cutting into things but just slamming enemies away from him. Plus I think the lead actor might look the part, but what little acting we've seen looks terrible.

I saw the film on Monday. My employer produced the movie so we had a day of special screenings for the company at Culver Studios.

I'm happy to say, IMO the flick isn't horrendous. Not gonna win any Oscars, but I think you'll likely be entertained at least. It surpassed my expectations, but to be honest I am not generally a fan of super hero and comic book movies so I was expecting dreck. It's a little long at a tick over 2 hours, and the fight scenes got tedious for me.

There were some humorous parts, and if you are a fan of the franchise you'll find a lot of hidden tips of the cap to the legacy. And like the Barbie movie, there is a section of the film where our hero lives in the real world which I liked.

Enjoy!

Maybe you can at least enjoy the popcorn? :D
