Well that's the difference between Arnie and us mere mortals. He's so strong he can buff out dents and scratches simply by flipping a car

Predator: lifting the truck off the bricks to roll into the guerrillas
Commando: holding sully over the cliff edge... With his weak arm
Commando: lifting the phone box up with sully inside
Commando: flipping the yellow car back over from being on it's side (granted most people could do this)
Basically all of commando

Why does a film need to be told in a tight 100-120 min time frame?
A film should be however long it needs to be, some films have been too short while others are too long. If I'm enjoying a film, I'm always happy to have more of it (within reason ofc).

I really enjoyed the film, didn't feel like a 3+hour film, visually it was beautiful, 3d was 3d didn't really add anything for me personally but when done well like in avatar i guess it's a fun change.
There were a few issues I had with the film though.
-
where did all the water navi go at the end? They just straight up disappeared lol.
-
why were all the kids using earth slang words like bro and cuz, didn't really make much sense or fit in with the avatar universe.
-
the whale brain goo stuff, only being worth 80mil lol, seems like something that stops human ageing would be worth a lot more. (This is a minor nitpicky issue I'll admit lol), they don't explain how they randomly discovered this either considering how much effort it takes to get, and they leave the entire corpse after also so seems like a very specific thing to get without knowing about it prior or discovering it whilst they farmed whales for other purposes.
-
this is probably the biggest one for me. They downloaded the bad guys memories and then put them in avatar bodies. So basically there is no risk/reward factor to them dying now as they can just come back with a new avatar body repeatedly. Making a big deal of the main bad guy seemingly die and then be saved doesn't have as much impact when he could just come back anyway (granted his memories from last download to death would be missing, but you'd assume they'd download regularly).

Yer agreed it was frustrating in the end. The kids getting captured was basically the only thing driving the plot forward after Jake moved his family. Hell it happens like 3 or 4 times in the final act alone😂.
I'm sure they could have easily got the water navi Queen captured instead just for variety.
Was glad one of them died to add some consequence to their repeated stupidity.

Blame things like tiktok and social media, peoples attention spans are awful these days. This applies to all media tbh.

That scene was amazing. When the camera slow pans around and you can only see pavement, I'm thinking maybe there's some out of shot bushes for some bizarre reason on a busy street, then slowly thinking wtf are they planning to land on and then the headshots at their funeral😂

Well said. Think my gripe with the film/story was that the alien ships or aliens themselves were already on earth and had been for hundreds/thousands of years waiting to attack. Why wait until humanity had the tech to defeat them? (I know bacteria ultimately was the thing that won it). Why not just wipe us out initially? I haven't seen the film for years so probably forgotten some details that may have explained.

Lethal weapon 5 already came out right? 👀
Enjoyed atomic blonde so hopefully the sequel will be good.
Brightburn is getting a sequel? The premise of the first film was great, the film itself wasn't, so hopefully they can improve on that.
