Okay, so I'm behind with the times. I don't give two shits in a tin can about Watchmen. I'm not going to go see Jonas Brothers in 3D no matter how many times my daughter begs. Okay, I probably will, but I'm not putting on the doofy glasses. Anyway...
I've recently seen three movies where they tried to revive a dead series for one last hurrah. Indiana Jones, Rocky and Rambo.
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Shit was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. He looked crusty and old and like a penguin could kick his ass sideways. Hugely disappointing.
Rocky was fair. I hate the downtrodden Rock and the stupid fedora hat shit. It was stupid to drag him back to that level and the whole "wasted all my money" stuff. He should have sold drugs or something. The preachy scenes about doing what you do were treacle. And I can't see anybody getting overly excited about watching an 80-year old guy get his ass kicked again. Besides, in Rocky 45 didn't he have some kind of significant damage that precluded him getting in the ring again? Was there some miracle healing? Because if there was, they should have healed his fucking face.
Rambo was actually pretty good. I could see John wrangling snakes. The setup was sort of stupid and needed some additional exposition, but beyond that it was boiler plate and relatively enjoyable.
I am aware that these movies are all years old, but I don't care. I wouldn't pay to see them and Netflix just delivered.
