Movie Critics Thread

Batman Ninja is pure genius. I saw figures of The Joker and his foot soldiers as well as the title character at Ozcomicon, so I hope the transforming castles are made into toys and from there we can have the combiner. If you haven't seen this movie yet, I highly recommend it because I don't know of any animated Batman movie that could equal this.

Mission impossible fallout. Easy to pick the bady. Action is good. Missing the twists that were in the previous movies, more straight forward. Not as good as earlier installments but enjoyable. They left the broken foot take in the movie. 6/10.

Anyone have ideas on what MCU films could potentially get a UHD Bluray release?

I stopped buying MCU films because I don't want to rebuy a bunch of them unnecessarily. I own everything up to Ant-Man and haven't bought anything since then out of fear that I'll have to rebuy them when Disney finally gets around to releasing UHD Blurays of everything before Disney finally gave up on 3D and joined the UHD bandwagon.

Nothing officially confirmed from Disney. Just store listings which apparently show Avengers 1 and 2 on 4K to be released either August or September. To be taken with a large pinch of salt of course.

But I feel your pain. My MCU collection goes from Blu Ray to 3D Blu Ray and now 4K. But despite all that I won’t be buying any re-releases. 4K upscaling works well enough and the quest for the best quality version would be neverending.

Edit: I stand corrected. Spotted 4K release of Avengers 1 and 2 at JB Hifi.

^Agreed

And the DVD does have a Japanese audio track (with English subtitle option) despite the case jacket not advertising it (not sure why they wouldn't display these options). There are two sets of subtitles - one for the original Japanese dialogue and the other for the English dub (dubtitles). Need a lot of suspending disbelief though as the premise of this story and many things throughout it is pretty ridiculous, but if you can accept it then it's a fun fantasy action story. One interesting thing was how Batman's grappling claw became useless in feudal Japan since there weren't any tall buildings for him to grapple onto. The movie doesn't explain the absence of any language barrier. I guess the characters must all be carrying Bat-Universal-Translators.

Bat-Universal-Translators? Sounds like tardis technology.

Went to see Mile 22 on the weekend and worth it for the massive twist at the end.








MINOR SPOILER ALERT

P.S. If you're not a fan of Ronda Rousey then you'll be happy to know she gets more mangled than she did in the Holly Holm fight.

Just watched Upgrade. It’s a low budget Aussie made sci-fi with a good dose of gore. I recommend watching Upgrade to anyone who has enjoyed flicks of a similar kind of combination

I saw an aussie indie movie called Cargo about a family trying to survive in the Aussie outback. Starring martin freeman. I recommend it.
