Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

The second question I ask is, "does it alter the culture of the franchise or original story?" If the intent to add a name-your-demographic-here is simply to have another representative of that group, then the answer is 'yes', and to me it's definitely not worth it.
Jeffrey Wright plays an excellent Felix Leiter and Judy Dench steals the show.
 
My Extraction 2 spoilerish-free review.

If you're going into this without suspending reality a bit you're kind of dumb. Let's be honest here. That said, the gunplay and fights are awesome with differing locales and stakes keeping it kind of fresh. The guns and accoutrements are top notch, just a lot of gun porn in there for you. I think Chili Palmer (retired CAG guy) was an advisor and extra for the movie. The "special guest" who bookends the movie HAS to return in part 3, hopefully with a larger role because that would be bitchin'. I liked the bad guys and the change of countries/ venues over the standard movie bad guy.

The main complaint I have is Nik kept her clothes on, not even a bathing suit. What happened to gratuitous nudity? Pussification of America...

Anyway, solid popcorn theater, entertaining, if you liked the first one you'll like the second.

4 out of 5 VW SUV's.

Hard agree with the special guest at the beginning and end. And I loved the line when Rake asked his name, paraphrasing: 'it doesn't matter what my name is.... what matters is I work for one gnarly motherfucker.'

Also kudos for the producer for finding local talent, a lot of those Georgians were actually Georgians and small bit actors and unknown in the US.

It's a variation of John Wick-style storytelling. You definitely have to suspend belief. But that doesn't make it any less entertaining.

The Trailer is great but doesn't even begin to tell the story. The Machine is one of the Funniest movies I've seen in a long time. You have to go into this thinking Russia is 25 years behind America. The flash back songs are from the 90's and it does a really good job of painting the difference in cultures. It also made me realize most of you funnier people on the site could easily be "the MAWSHEENA"!! It's really a tale of every man's dream; to please his dad, make his wife happy, be a great father.....all while still staying wild on the inside!

:ninja: :thumbsup:

They made a movie about this guy’s joke??? I’m so fucking happy!
 
Yeah, me too. Star Wars for grown-ups. You know with six Dune novels there’s enough material for about 8 feature length films. I hope they continue to make them.

BTW, Christopher Walken has been cast as the Emperor.

Just one highly-subjective opinion, but... the quality of the series dropped off pretty quickly.
