Rogue One Star Mads Mikkelsen Might Have Accidentally Revealed a Huge Spoiler

http://io9.gizmodo.com/mads-mikkelsen-m ... 1773632382

I guess I don't see what's spoilery about that. I mean, they're all new characters anyway.

i didn't see it either; perhaps *anything* stars wars is spoilerish now...especially since they killed off the decades of novels canon-ness

I kinda eyerolled when I saw they were making a Jungle Book movie, but the two movie critics I work with both say its outstanding.

I never knew how much I wanted that movie to happen until I saw the preview for it.

Even after seeing the preview the first couple times, I was thinking "No one asked for this!"

But, it grew on me, and I generally trust the opinions of the guys I talked to.

I got the chance to be a chapperone with my 9 yr old and about 300 other 3rd and 4th graders to go see this yesterday. Of what I got to see of it, it was really good.

Bill Murray as Baloo is great as always, and Christopher Walken as King Louie was inspired. Walken is so amazing, he absolutely steals his part of the movie.


A really well done movie.

Saw it with my kids the other day and thought it was okay. Could certainly have been a lot worse. Sat through about 5 trailers for other movies that all had some joke referencing butts or farts. Nothing against that in principle, but it's pretty apparent the non Pixar/Disney/Dreamworks stuff doesn't try very hard.

I liked the King Louie segment up until the song, which felt really forced in a way Bare Necessities didn't. Walken was a great choice though. The ending in the cartoon also makes a lot more sense, and packs more of a punch. This one, it's kind of like most everything happened for no good reason. I suppose you could argue there was some character growth, but I think the intent was to leave the sequel door wide open.

Also, Scarlett Johansson can never get too much voice work.

Do you like horror films, punk rock, unflinchingly brutal violence, high-stakes tension, against-type villain roles, and/or Imogen Poots in full punk chic?



I happen to love all of these things, so Green Room is the mother [expletive] truth.

Can't wait. I loved Blue Ruin.

That was really bizarre. They might as well have cut to the 1995 NBA Draft. And the build-up music was tonally jarring. Strange, strange choice there. Especially because I thought Bare Necessities was the most memorable moment of the film (and there needed to be more like it).

I liked it alright. I didn't think it had much heart, and it needed more light-hearted fun (both of these criticisms are heavily influenced by the young company I took, and maybe my take is far too biased because I took my young son). My kid loved the animals.

Also, Tim Burton gets to make another Alice movie? Sweet jebus the first one was abominable. Just so, so bad. Not watchable.

It did over $1 billion box office world wide - $1,025,467,110 to be exact, so yea, he gets to make another.
