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.

Recommended Movies & TV. June-December 2022 and Overall Favorites of 2022.

Check out this episode! YouTube Version These are my favorite movies and TV show from June-December 2022. June Insidious 1 & 2 (Amazon & Netflix) I'd never seen the Insidious movies. However, my younger brother watched them and told me they were creepy(which piqued my interest). In June, the first part was available on Prime Video, and the sequel and third films were on Netflix. I binged all three, but I preferred the first two as they wrapped up the Lambert family storyline. Black Phone (movies) The next Blumhouse movie on this list. The movie pundits I follow talked about this Black Phone's great word of mouth from early screenings. Saw this in theaters and was amazed at Ethan Hawke's villainous performance. His 2nd turn as a bad guy in 2022(first in Moon Knight on Disney+ months earlier, but much better here). Umbrella Academy S3 (Netflix) I like the Umbrella Academy and its different take on the superhero genre. The protagonist dysfunctional family consists o
