I Walked Out on the Green Knight-MOVIE REACTION


Yesterday I went to see the Green Knight with Dev Patel.   The trailer made it look like a fabulous sword-wielding fantasy adventure.   I've enjoyed these kinds of movies since I was a kid.   The Conan movies, the Neverending Story, Beastmaster, The Sword and the Sorceror, are examples.   Reading that Green Knight was based on an Arthurian story with Gawain, I was all in. 1981's Excalibur is a personal favorite.    The first DVD I ever purchased.

Green Knight had amazing visuals but was tedious.  I fell asleep several times.   It seemed to be an arthouse-style movie(long shots of no conversation with a person doing some mundane activity for 5 minutes or more).   Characters are introduced, and it goes nowhere, such as a   redheaded ghost and Bald giants.   I walked out of the movie after 90 minutes.   At the one-hour mark, I thought, let me stick with this. It might get better, but I was forcing myself to watch it.   The thought of buying pizza and ice cream, going back home, and continuing my Boardwalk Empire binge, ran across my mind.   I'm going through the show a second time.

Green Knight; when it comes to streaming, I might fast forward and watch the last 20 minutes to see how it ends.   But this was a waste of time.   I'm willing to see anything critically acclaimed, but now I feel confident to not sit through something I don't like, just because everybody else said it's great.

Bob Marley One Love Spoiler Review-$93 Million Later

  I enjoyed Bob Marley's One Love, a 2024 biopic based on the legendary musician's life. The highlights for me were Kingsley Ben-Adir's and Lashana Lynch's performances as Bob and Rita Marley. Ben-Adir oozed charisma in playing Bob, and Ms. Lynch made me feel their deep relationship bond. The film is a musical in a way, as several of Bob's classic songs were performed.   One Love also weaves the stories and motivations for classic songs, such as 'Three Little Birds,' with Mr. Marley putting it together in the backyard of his home in Kingston.  Video version of my review.    I hummed 'Exodus' days after watching the movie.   This beautifully shot movie details several critical moments in the singer's life, such as an assassination attempt, his extended stay in the UK, and his first concert back in Jamaica, where he had warring political figures make peace on stage. The movie's budget was $70 million, and I assume it cost another $70 million to
