Overall, I really liked this, but it’s kind of a mixed bag. Still not sure how I feel about Joaquin Phoenix’s performance. Right now I’m leaning towards “didn’t quite work for me”. I kind of wish they had just picked a lane and gone all in with the dark comedy.
The battle scenes were incredible. The military strategy was depicted very clearly and it was easy to follow what was going on, which is always appreciated. Thanks, Ridley.
I thought I'd seen the Illusionist before, but I guess I havent. Bunch of Scooby-Doo bullshit. Not good.
Yeah that movie sucks hard. Crazy how many people like or love it.
Is it better or worse than Now you see me?
Haven't seen it, but I hear it's really bad too
Is Ed Norton actually a good actor? He always seems to be making the exact same face. I liked him in Kingdom of Heaven (under a mask) but the last movie I saw him in was Red Dragon and he was awful.

Maybe he should stick to voice acting.
I think he's very inconsistent. He displayed some fun, novel charm in the 90s in movies like American History X and Rounders. I tried watching that Motherless Brooklyn movie he wrote, directed and starred in several years ago, and "oof" is all I can say about that one. But he was good in like, what else, ... Birdman. I just think he kind of worn out his welcome and showed all he has to offer. He's about on par with Leo with his acting ability but doesn't have his looks or charisma.

I think this is right on the money.
It's utter nonsense. Excepting the bit about Motherless Brooklyn which I haven't seen, but have no desire to see, and also the book sucks. But otherwise! Nonsense!

sorry, you're pro or anti Norton?
For my money, his best role is 25th Hour, but it's not like he stretched out in that role; I just think his resting state served the movie perfectly.
