    Creed II was perhaps the most predictable of all the Rocky films, which is really saying something. And really, there was almost no storyline (shocker!). The action seemed lacking as well.

      It makes me want to see a Queen tribute band.
      My wife, youngest daughter, and I watched it Sunday night. Fantastic movie, great acting.

      I rebelled a bit on seeing this movie. I lived through the actual events as played out in the media and thought it would be too sad. Being sad is not why I go to movies. My wife suggested it and my daughter gave an excited yes. Smiling i said sure, inside not so much. I was wrong and glad we could watch it together. Loved how they handled the music.

      My oldest daughter is taking our 8 year old Grandson to see a Queen Tribute band in a couple of weeks.

          I watched "The VVitch" last night, and it was amazing

                If you want a quirky, Pulp Fiction-ish flick that's much better than it was made out to be, check out Bad Times at the El Royale.

                  I thought it was meh, but yes it definitely wanted to be like Pulp Fiction.

                    Agree but I gave them both 7/10.

                      I think I'm prone to giving higher ratings to movies I think are going to suck and surprisingly turn out to be good.

                        Yeah, didn't reach the hopes I had for it from before it was released, but exceeded my expectations from after reading the reviews.

                          I liked it. I think I posted it awhile ago.

                          It did try to be Fiction-ish. It was no Pulp Fiction- but none are.

                            it was a good movie. WW was better but everyone grew up with a crush on Ms Marvel too.

                            Spoiler!


                            lol i have to put this spoiler in. it fits in the with marvel cinematic universe. it's actually pretty awesome. Samuel Jackson is great.

                              In spite of BL have the acting skills and personality of a wet paper bag, I thought the movie was ok, maybe even slightly above average. I only went because the kids were at the grandparents and we had some free time. But yeah, Wonder Woman was far far better.

                                Carla Gugino was amazing. Kept us on the edge of our seats the whole time. Some parts were a rough watch, but worth it.

                                One of the better movies I have seen in awhile.
                                I am curious if any of you have seen this movie (like it or not). I had never heard of it. My wife found it. It is based on Stephen Kings work which I had never heard of either.
