Huge L for Marvel for cutting the scenes with both Cersei and Tyrion Lannister. Biggest disappointment of the lot, especially after “Eternals” gave us two Starks.
To the film’s credit, I really like the Taika Waititi aesthetic where everything looks like a cheap set. It makes a real change from the normal marvel aesthetic whether everything looks cheap and like utter shit. The art direction overall was excellent and Taika's use of colour gave the film enough personality to distinguish…
It's hard to condemn Schindler's List because it's obvious the filmmakers had the best of intentions when making it. There is absolutely no doubt that Steven Spielberg wanted to make an important, necessary film about the Holocaust that would stand as a testament to its horrors for all time.

Let's start with how this movie treats Orson Welles. Let me be clear, the movie could've done this and gotten away with it, IF IT WAS ANY FUCKING GOOD (which it isn't). Herman Mankiewicz did not…
Ah yes, welcome back to my favourite fantasy franchise starring Liam Neeson as Jesus.
