    [QUOTE=Majingir;n26857944]This movie didn't really stand out to me. Didn't feel to attached to any character so much and if they did a sequel of this one with a whole new cast again, I wouldn't really mind it either. This just felt like 2 movies going on at once. Not that I think it needs a sequel, but it'll probably get one if it hasn't already been announced.[/QUOTE/}


    Huge JP original Trilogy fan.

    JW trilogy was a mess for after the first JW (which I thought was great). The last two JW films were so disjointed and I don't care to ever revisit them. I have tried with the second JW film but it's silly. And the last one was just.....bizarre. Unmemorable in every way.

    I am waiting for this new one to hit a streaming service for my first watch. But I think this series had run out of gas a long time ago after the original JW.

      The Long Walk

      I'm not currently in a place to leave a full review, but I wanted to get it out there... this might be my favorite film this year, or at least close to it. It is incredible, and has moving performances by the boys. It is very bleak and uncompromising. It hit me emotionally in more than one way.

      There are a few characters I think has a little more antagonizing potential, and I did wait for a few things to potentially happen that never did when it came to working around the rules, but I think that would've defeated some of the movie's thematic drive.

      It's a bit of The Hunger Games meets Stand By Me, and is right up there with The Life of Chuck (another Stephen King adaptation) as some of the best cinema this year.

        Ghost World, and Igby Goes Down.
        Both are well over 20 years old but they were well out of my radar, as I had neve heard of either. I enjoyed both, satisfying watches, all except for both endings.

          Twilight

          The film saga is re-releasing in theaters one day at a time. The first film was out tonight, and man it was packed. I hadn't seen them before, so I thought I'd give this one a shot and see if I'd marathon the rest.

          Man, this was rough to get through. There was so much cringe on screen, but it felt like the actors were totally game. I think I was with a crowd that has clearly seen these movies before, as they were giggling, wooing, etc. at certain moments and appearances. The camera work was a character of its own, and it was horrendous. Any otherworldly movements were laughable.

          I didn't know that this was essentially a romance film. Like, I thought there was a plot and then there was teen-crushing on the side. The last half hour or so finally gave some sense of "story," but before that it was clearly a film not made for me during any part of my life, even as I've become more critic-centric in just taking a film for how it's presented.

          It wasn't all bad, but most of it was. Do the other ones improve in some places that I stated above which just made me laugh? Seeing this with a full audience is fun, but there wasn't much movement to the story. I think my favorite aspect was their spin on the vampire lore, breaking from tradition in several ways (including how they react to the sun).

          All that said, I do like that it was shot on film (I'm sure some of the later ones aren't), and if Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were nominated for best kiss at the MTV Movie Awards, they would've gotten my vote.
