I saw it with a friend last night. I came in with low expectations, but aside from a moment or two, the movie was actually surprisingly good if you ask me. Completely different in plot than what I saw of trailers, almost felt like two halves really (one in virtual world, one IRL).

It had a Goonies feel to it for me, and I mean that in the best possible way. Every artist has their sort of signature thing, and for Spielberg it always seems to be kids going on some adventure against bad grown ups (and large crowds for whatever reason). As basic a concept as it is, it was still enjoyable. Can't really say much without spoiling, but if you're on the fence about going to see it, you might as well. It's better than seeing another Marvel movie with the same cookie cutter plot line.

I'm heading to the theater right now. Haven't yet decided between Tomb Raider, Ready Player One, Shape of Water or Pacific Rim Uprising. Probably going to Pacific Rim but I'm open to suggestions for another 22 minutes.
guillermo had nothing to do with pacific rim 2, just so that's clear

Just back from cinema after watching it. They pulled a real 'Hollywood' with the ending, but overall not bad at all. Entertaining / 10.

just got back

this is the first movie that i'm gonna rate a dumb/10

to its credit, it wasn't nearly as insufferable as i expected it to be, and i would be lying if i said there weren't any scenes that made me go "okay, that's actually pretty cool" or "okay, that's actually kinda smart"—of which there were several

so in that sense, i concur with fatherlynick and luciana

Spoiler
the way they paid homage to Adventure, the atari 2600 game with the first-ever easter egg built into it, was genuinely heartwarming

but it was still quite the cheese factory, and after the movie my sister said something like "i'm glad i'm not a gamer"

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

so there's a guy (who is later revealed to be a girl; her avatar is a big brutish male character, though) who is good with technology and stuff, likes building things

one of the things she builds is a fully autonomous iron giant-looking thing

so it's not like it's the ACTUAL iron giant or anything (even though that's still what she calls it)

it's just someone building a machine made to look like the iron giant, because she likes the iron giant

the fight scene he's involved in happens because they needed someone strong enough to fight mecha godzilla, who was being used by the antagonist

basically the idea behind all the licensed material in this movie is how it works in VR chat, where people just kinda assume the likeness of whatever character they think is cool, whether it be master chief or generic demon guy

For a while I thought she was just a guy with a girl's name. Lena Waithe is androgynous as fuck.
