Just watched The Naked Gun. Being that it’s still in it’s opening weekend, I’ll put my review in spoiler.

Do you miss watching great comedies in theaters? Have you been loving Pamela Anderson’s career resurgence? Are you in the mood for belly laughs? Then run to the theaters and see this film! 😂

I give this film a 9.2/10. It’s basically nonstop humor for 85 minutes. Lt. Frank Drebin, Jr. (Liam Neeson) of The Police Squad investigates an apparent collision death of Davenport. He realizes that the death is related to a doomsday event planned by Richard Cane (Danny Huston) using a P.L.O.T. device. During the investigation, he starts a romance with Davenport’s sister (Pamela Anderson).

What’s great/good:
1) Liam Neeson was perfect for this role.
2) Pamela Anderson’s singing performance on stage at the jazz club was 🤣.
3) I would say that about 75% of the jokes and “side humor” hit the note. The ones that didn’t land didn’t cause the film to crash and burn.

What’s MEH:
1) The trailer gives away the joke about O.J. Simpson. There’s another joke about Bill Cosby that some might find too 😬.
2) I’m not convinced that the stuff with the snowman needed to be in Drebin and Davenport’s “romantic weekend”. It seemed a bit “extra”.
3) During Drebin and Davenport’s “romantic weekend”, I was expecting a 2025 version of the “body condoms”. It didn’t happen. SIGH. 😆

Loved this movie! ..since the beginning of July I have seen it know what you did last summer, jurassic world, fantastic 4, superman, together, the naked gun, the bad guys 2 and tonight I am seeing weapons. I took a few weeks off from going to movies but back at it.

Tom Holland of Spiderman fame? He's short and still looks like a teenager. There's no way that rumor is anywhere remotely true.

Completely aside from that, I honestly can't see him wanting to get attached to another giant franchise. I think his next big post Spider-Man project is supposed to be a Fred Astaire biopic that I have extremely mixed feelings about (not because of him, because Fred Astaire always said he didn't want a movie made about his life and I, personally, am tired of all the biopics).

He's looking more adult these days. If anything, he's aging out of playing HS-aged Spider-man.

Not that I believe this rumor either but for other reasons.
 
I saw Weapons yesterday. It was a very creative horror film. I had some issues with the pacing, but overall, it was engaging and had some really great performances.
 
The Bond rumor mill seems to find a new candidate every 5-6 months. FWIW, history has shown that they don't want someone entirely unknown, but they would prefer to pick someone who hasn't already fronted a major movie franchise. That would pretty much take Holland out of the running -- along with quite a few others, including Henry Cavill, who would be my first choice (seriously, just watch him in The Man From UNCLE. He'd be perfect).

Cavill was Superman in, what, 2.5 movies? :) And now he's been replaced. I think they might still consider him. He's not the face of Superman anymore and kind of never was really. IMO anyway.

Yes, but he also starred as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher for 3 seasons. I think he's a lot more globally famous from that. Plus, he's about to become the new Highlander. I hope you're right though.
 
One I won't miss: "The Thursday Murder Club"

The Witcher isn't a movie series. :D (That was the criteria given.) I also think that he was the Witcher a long time ago and is about to be replaced with a new one. That's a lot more like Bond where we have so many of them including two at once in the beginning (Moore & Connery).
 
Saw Nobidy 2 today. It was ok, had some fun fight scenes (the whole second half was basically one long fight) but nothing groundbreaking

I went and saw it last night. I totally agree with you. I cackled all the way through along with the small audience I saw it with. Liam Neeson just played it straight but he must have had fun filming it. And Pamela Anderson really showed some comedy chops.

There was actually so much detail that I think I would need to watch it again to pick everything up.

My recommendation is to also sit through the credits.

The song that Liam Neeson sings through the credit had me with tears down my face it was so funny. Plus there was a whole lot of stuff in there they had fun with. Blink and you miss it stuff.

Also other jokes that cracked me up

Running gag with coffee cups
The beer circle with the kids
The thermal camera stuff with the dog
