NL perfectly explaining the trajectory of the Transformers movies without having seen past the first one is truly mind-blowing

idk 3rd one is pretty close to even with the first

I've never seen the movie but the discrepancy between the IMDb score for Contagion and its rating by other aggregations leads me to believe NL is right about it getting review bombed by anti-vaxxers at some point.

[@KSan357]

I just read a bunch of 1 star reviews and a lot are complaining aboout propaganda. There was also one from 2011 complaining about the movie being unrealistic because no disease could ever possibly come from a bat

adjustment bureau is absolutely one of my fav sci fi movies of the early 2010s. Philip K Dick movies always win for me. even with the meh ending.

Mate, if it's a, 'Which TV show has the best IMDb rating' quiz, Breaking Bad will always be the right answer if it comes up lol. I mean come on.

Its very reasonable to think the sopranos might beat it

39:40 when is the last time he watched Wanted? Because I tried to watch it for the first time this year and I could not get past the first hour. "Product of its time" is a generous understatement lmao

this video is confirming to me that NL has to watch Serenity (2019). not because it's good, but just because it is.... WAY weirder than i think he even knows.

[@FrshChees91]

Idk wtf happened but in my mind Kung Fu Panda is from like 2015

Maybe you're thinking of the third one? Or maybe the TV show?

[@williamapple7705]

Not surprised about Tangled beating out Princess and the Frog. Personally, I think Tangled is a better film in general, though that's not a knock to Princess and the Frog as it is a pretty good Disney film. If Princess and the Frog released TODAY, it would probably be overwhelmingly loved with much higher scores. At the time there wasn't near as much of a social movement to lift up black representation in film, considering that President Obama was literally just elected. It was a big deal, but nowhere close to the reception Black Panther received. Thus, the film definitely didn't get the same boost that Black Panther did (which though I recognize the significance it has for many people in the US, let's be honest, is a pretty mediocre film). Tiana is probably represented more in Disney properties nowadays not because the movie was successful compared to other similar properties, but because it means a lot to little girls who see representation in her and the adult individuals who appreciate Disney's attempts to be more diverse in their character lineup. I actually think comparing Princess and the Frog to Black Panther is a really good case study in how general movie goer's tastes have changed in the decade between the two. Consider the dying out of the Princess-themed animated film and the rise of the Superhero movie, and the shift in audience preference for including minority representation as an important factor in enjoyment of the media.

[@AnglosArentHuman]

I like Princess and the Frog better (my second favourite Disney soundtrack after Hunchback of Notredame), but I knew it was gonna be Tangled. NL's dad radar (dadar?) was off on this one due to him only becoming a parent recently, imho, if he had a daughter around the time these came out I'm 100% certain he'd have gotten it.

[@williamapple7705]

@@AnglosArentHuman Absolutely agree. Though considering how much he likes movies I'm a bit surprised he isn't slightly aware of how modern princess movies have been received.

[@miquelmoorrees6010]

Yeah I hated the Tim Burton Wonka movie. If I communicated with my family during the movie they would have all agreed and we'd have left.

[@Pattonator14]

Adjustment bureau is good, contagion is fine but a little bit of a snoozer, deserved L

[@V0r4xiz]

Of all the insane takes he has in this video, the most absurd must be thinking that Annihilation, some 6.5 or so garbage 2018 run of the mill sci fi movie nobody watched was anywhere near Leon The Professional, one of the highest rated movies of all time and easily and by far the best Natalie Portman movie AND best Jean Reno movie ever at like an 8.5. I can only blame this on temporary insanity or an undiagnosed stroke.

[@Pattonator14]

I dont think its that insane, I'm surprised to hear annihilation only has a 6.5 because while I feel the same way as Ryan about it my memory from 2018 is it getting a lot of love both from critics and on twitter

[@poppanaattori89]

Depends who you ask, the average movie goer or people who watch and review movies for a living. Leon is good at tugging at your heart strings and keeping things straightforward and functional. A nice rollercoaster ride of emotions with not a lot of depth. Annihilation, as far as I remember, has some surface level stuff that's hard to overlook that ticks off the average movie goer way more than people who find the concepts, themes and the message of a movie more critical. In that regard, Annihilation is way more fascinating and thought provoking than Leon, at least according to most critics.

[@JamesRoberts-r5v]

From a layman’s perspective Order of the phoenix is absolutely the worst movie save for deathly hallows part 1. From a more critical perspective Order of the phoenix had a tough role because even though Goblet of fire is the mid point of the series narratively is it still feels like the first half. Only towards the end does everything change. Order of the phoenix is the left with establishing the new tone for the series, in a sense it’s a soft rebirth. It’s much more goal oriented while the first half feel quite meandering. The first books/movies felt like kids having fun magical quests but after order of the phoenix it feels like real world problems. Even the colors they use change drastically causing a heavier atmosphere. Order of the phoenix feels different because it is different. Besides world building almost nothing really carries over save for a few critical plot threads. It’s setting an entirely new foundation and enables half blood prince and deathly hallows to be some of the best books. Order of the phoenix is a bad movie and the book somehow manages to be even more dull, it feels like watching paint dry.

[@FrshChees91]

Ask all the people who rated Spy Kids what their 2001-self would have said, and it's a 9/10. You can't grow up, develop a snobbishness towards film and then rate children's movies accurately. They're not for you, they were for you ten, twenty years ago.

[@MrAliFranca]

I used to love spy kids

[@GivenFailure]

I love Spy Kids, but kids will sometimes love lazy schlock because they don't have much to compare it to.

[@jennietsai1260]

You wanna know what else is a kids movie? Spirited Away. The Lion King. The Iron Giant. Just because it’s a kids movie doesn’t mean it can’t be good

[@williamapple7705]

I think it is a no-brainer great movie for Kids. But I do think movie reviews have to be from the eyes of the reviewer, and it is okay to look at a movie objectively and say "Maybe the primary audience loves it, but that doesn't necessarily make the film good." It's like praising a crappy Adam Sandler movie because the primary audience is a bunch of idiots, and those idiots love it. A reviewer has every right to point out the flaws of the film and say that objectively it is bad, even if a large number of people enjoyed it.

[@handtomouth4690]
