Last up was Tron Ares (2025), which has some decent acting (despite the Leto of it all), solid visuals, and a wonderful NIN soundtrack, but feels like it didn't execute its premise super well. The end sets up some intriguing ideas, but I doubt we'll get more of this, which kinda sucks.

Another remake, The Running Man (2025), was a much better time. It's not the original for sure, but this was a larger-scale adventure with some quirky fun and action. I'd watch this one again, even if they missed a great opportunity with that ending.

Remembering the old Emmanuelle films, I decided to give the new re-imagining (2024) a shot. The sexuality is still there, going for something slightly more artistic (with full frontal) than softcore, but it lost the plot, its charm, and the ending causes massive blue balls as well as disappointment.

Yea, I love Batman Forever, just... not that sequel.

Because cool? '90s? Really, it was just his love of Batman '66.

only suffering a little with that weird Harley Quinn sideplot. Glad to revisit both for vastly different reasons. I am a little shocked I found someone who didn't hate Leto's version of the Joker.

Then I suffered through Suicide Squad (2016), so a friend could understand how much better The Suicide Squad (2021) was. I can appreciate how much blame goes around for the first one, while understanding that the second is just fun and great at handling a large ensemble cast,

Did some rewatches since we had friends who hadn't seen them. First up was Boss Level (2020), which is still fun and almost builds solid characters. It's Groundhog Day with bullets, sword fights, and Street Fighter. It's nowhere near a must-see, but certainly not a bad time.

We finally saw Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025), finishing up the series. The last one was better, but there were several good scenes. I kind of wanted another big death and a bigger end for the baddie. The first movie is still the best, the only one I'll revisit.

Nice.
