Not out of the realm of possibility.
A...Tahmeed:<br /><br />Not out of the realm of possibility. <br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Jupe - 3.5(It's a good performance, as he has the same naturalism as Tremblay and therefore is frankly a good actor to have around to compliment him. More so though Jupe impressively realizes one of the most interesting aspects of the film, which is the "best friend" who too bullies. Jupe naturally realizes this without overt villainy, but rather the ease of peer pressure to put down.)<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Well let's start with the screenplay first by the LOTR team, which too is adaptation of a work, however instead of simplifying a book, they're expanding upon the original, which is rather to the point. Well the major expansion of Ann Darrow makes sense, and showing her motivations is all well and good, and I mean that. The rest of the expansion though begins to feel more like attempting to force an epic, merely by having an epic cast without rationalizing this purpose. Expanding/changing Jack Driscoll really isn't needed, and doesn't add enough to the film. All the additional side characters seem superfluous because they don't do enough with them, but then take too much time with them. Jamie Bell's Jimmy and the First Mate in particular seem pointless, despite having so much time devoted to them. The same really to Kyle Chandler's leading man, who is frankly underused as a comic relief. It expands too often without purpose. This all keeping the plot basically the same, but just adding a whole lot of fat for the sake of an epic, however without the substance of one. The dialogue is also questionable as the team literally makes fun of the original's at some points, however overall takes upon the approach as though it is a 30's screwball comedy at times, or just a 30's film in general. So this again is an odd combination as it really doesn't modernize, and at the same time is less pure than the original. <br /><br />Really thinking about Peter Jackson's direction here, makes me think he should've been a William Wyler type filmmaker, but desires to be a more overtly stylistic sort. The thing is what Jackson does do well is when he breaths life into traditional epic film making. The majesty of Kong, making Kong a relatable character, and the grand scope are all impressively realized. Jackson's vision in making his own epic, as he had in LOTR, is great. Where Jackson falters is when he attempts to be something he's not nearly at skilled at. The scene of spelling "Skull", the first native scenes, feel so over the top in Jackson's attempts at style, like frame cutting that is more obnoxious than effectively off-putting. The same in his comic scenes that he let's go so broad, like Ann meeting Jack or "Kong on Ice", that it feels ludicrous rather than amusing within the universe of the epic. There's a lot greatness within Jackson's direction of realize the grandeur of the tale, but his work is rather messy when it comes to everything else.

With the low points of Peaky Blinders/Three Billboards, where neither are atrocious, a toss up again. 1a/1b, really, so I guess we'll see where they go from here, as not much can be taken from Hedges's next projects, while Taylor-Joy's are promising (working with Wright) and potentially disastrous (New Mutants).

As far as his film output goes, however, I'll admit he's been an inconsistent actor in my view, but rarely a downright terrible one. The nostalgic part of me still has a soft spot for "Holes", but as "Fury" demonstrated he's also capable of handling meaty dramatic material under the right direction.<br /><br />Needless to say, "Honey Boy" is most definitely on my watch list if it wasn't already.<br /><br />Mitchell Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06054562644509043086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-31572627124628535392020-02-01T08:03:56.909-05:002020-02-01T08:03:56.909-05:00He is almost definitely going to get a nomination ...He is almost definitely going to get a nomination at some point.
