I agree, it was a pretty fun movie. It's been a while since I watched it but as I remember it they weren't in China for unknown reasons, they went there to steal the formula for gun powder.
As for the drummers, drums were used in times of war for communication because it was the only thing people could hear during combat.
You're right that the explosion looked like an egg in the microwave, or maybe a pizza pocket is more accurate :D But as for the size of the mess, the way I thought of it was like when you put your finger over the end of a garden hose, the water sprays out all over the place. The bomb forced all of his guts out through the various holes of his body the same way. But really I think it was for the shock/comedy factor than trying to be realistic.
I know this is 3 months late but I just finished the first season :)
<blockquote>so the bomb really shouldn't have made much of a mess at all unless it just caused some guts to squirt out his asshold, ears, nose, mouth or possibly eye sockets.... the shell that protected him should have been left untouched which would have probably made for a better story with them then having to find a way to get rid of the indestructible evidence left behind.</blockquote>
That's actually what happened. Remember they had to find a way to dispose of the indestructible skin? They locked it in a trunk and tossed it in the ocean, knowing that eventually Deep would find it but at least it would buy them some time. My real question though is what did they do with his diamond heart? That could be turned into a hell of a wedding ring :D
If you think the houses won't be plotting to get their puppets on the throne then you haven't been paying attention :) Just because King/Queen is now an elected office doesn't mean the game is over!
1. They were going into that room to seal the portal, but failed.
2. Valak (the demon nun) was free from the portal, but not able to leave the castle grounds without possessing a human; that's why the last nun hung herself.
This movie did have angelic forces helping. The initiate nun had visions (Mary points the way), and the ghost nuns told her about the history of the demon nun and how to defeat her.
I don't buy the Jason was switched theory, especially while he was locked in the closet. How did his double get into the closet? How did his double know Jason would be locked in the closet? How did they sneak Jason out of the locked closet without anyone knowing? And why would Jason join the Tunnelers and turn into a pyromaniac? And how did he learn to speak and act like a Surfacer so quickly when it took Adelaide such a long time?
The other stuff, like not wanting to eat and digging sand-tunnels at the beach sound like normal kid stuff to me, and probably written in the script as symbolism or foreshadowing.
[quote]none of them could speak beause they didn't have souls[/quote]
Not true, did you forget that Red/Adelaide were switched as children? Adelaide spoke just fine despite not having a soul, and Red could barely speak at all.
I didn't really like the Ben Affleck movie very much but I think the TV show is great. I don't think the ending will frustrate you at all. The series is worth watching for Vincent D'Onofrio alone, he was born to play Kingpin.
My biggest complaint is that he doesn't wear his costume enough. I know there was some Internet whining about the costume design so maybe that's why they decided not to have him wear it so much, but I thought it looked pretty cool and I wanted to see him and a certain nemesis of his (no spoilers!) in their costumes for the big finish.
Agreed, anyone who thinks this is better than the original Mad Max is smoking crack. This movie was not only unrealistic, it was pointless.
Not surprised. But if you like action films it's worth watching. I would give it a 6, maybe a 7 just because I'm an Iko Uwais fanboy.
The ending of this movie is just begging for a sequel. It was pretty corny, but I did like the ending and the action was pretty enjoyable. I hope it does well enough that the sequel gets made.
It's neither. There's a semi-sexy ladies locker room scene, but the fights with women vs men were no less realistic than the man vs man fights. None of the action was very realistic, the good guys all have super-human accuracy and everybody seems to be able to take hits that should knock them right the fuck out.
I think the women were in it because 1. They want to avoid angry feminists, 2. Ronda and Lauren will sell tickets.
Spoilers:
[spoiler]
Ronda gets shot and blown up twice, and only has a very quick hand to hand fight scene. Lauren gets her ass beat in a pretty good hand to hand fight, and would've died if not rescued by Iko and Marky Mark. In the end only Marky Mark and Iko survive.
[/spoiler]
It's not terrible but not amazing either. Some corny lines and a giant plot hole you could fly a 747 through, but it was fun. The camera work doesn't do Iko's fight choreography justice but he does have some cool fights, but Ronda Rousey's talents were wasted, she didn't have any cool fight scenes. Her acting has improved since Expendables.
