Re: The Divergent Series: Allegiant
I can't believe this came out last week though, what a unmemorable turd.

thompsoncory wrote: I actually love the first two movies as pure popcorn entertainment, but this was definitely a major step down. It's still somewhat enjoyable if you turn your brain off (and about a thousand times more interesting than Batman v. Superman) but the plot here is so silly and convoluted, and Jeff Daniels is a poor villain and replacement for Kate Winslet. There are still some decent moments though mostly due to the appealing cast, even though all of them look a little tired of this franchise by this point. I still think Theo James is the standout and the most interesting character. Naomi Watts is also solid. The visuals range from good to ridiculous, those bubble things were absolutely hilarious as was the "cleansing" scene - and the red desert just looked like some cheap Mad Max ripoff. The "cliffhanger" ending is also stupid. I'm still excited to see the last film though solely because of my goodwill towards the previous installments. I definitely hope it's better. C This turd not better than B&R let alone BvS.

Re: The Divergent Series: Allegiant
You may not like BvS, but saying Allegiant is better is trolling.

Re: The Divergent Series: Allegiant
At least there were moments I was entertained in this and it didn't feel 10 hours long.

Re: The Divergent Series: Allegiant
Jmart has lost his goddamn mind. But that's to be expected because he's turning into a masshole.

Re: The Divergent Series: Allegiant
There is no pretending. You accusing me of liking it because I'm tricking myself into liking it is no different than me accusing y'all of Marvel bias.

Re: The Divergent Series: Allegiant
No, you're right. Most people haven't deluded themselves into liking BvS. They just straight up don't like it.

Re: The Divergent Series: Allegiant
I don't even understand why we are comparing these two movies. Totally different target audience even though both movies have good amount of action.

Re: The Divergent Series: Allegiant
Oh god, this is a steaming pile of horseshit. Insurgent was entertaining, but I just couldn't wait for this to end. None of the characters are developed, the plot is incomprehensible, and it echoes too many other far better films.
