I haven’t seen the reboot, but I have no strong feelings on it or II.

I haven’t seen the reboot, but I have no strong feelings on it or II.
I don’t see why II is hated if it is. It’s a pale shadow of the original, but a fun enough special effects comedy by itself.
Universal Soldier- Future blockbuster helmer Roland Emmerich’s first Hollywood feature, a 90s Jean-Claude Van Damme vehicle. A tolerable mid-budget Terminator knock-off about re-animated soldiers. Emmerich has yet to master the more-is-more aesthetic he’d later wield in films like Independence Day; by today’s standards, the pacing is slow and most of the action sequences are dated and lack much bite. Dolph Lundgren has fun as the psychopathic villain, but the requisite car chases, stunts, and fights are primitive by modern standards. Still, Emmerich is already developing his mixture of action and comedy, and it’s mildly interesting genre fare.
Universal Soldier: Regeneration- Straight to DVD (though shot in scope), director John Hyams, son of veteran journeyman director Peter Hyams, here the director of digital photography, makes this DTV fare way, way, better than it has any right to be. Eschewing Emmerich’s blockbuster silliness to play by his own rules, Hyams and Hyams shoot in Bulgaria like most Nu Image productions, but the grimy industrial parts of the city they choose-with the look of burnt out train tracks and abandoned chemical plants-have a bleak beauty. Having filmed documentaries about MMA fighters, Hyams casts them in the lead roles, and his fights and action sequences, in contrast to Emmerich’s slapstick, are quick, lean, and brutally violent. JCVD returns as a damaged shell of his former self, as does an unnerving Lundgren. Mix in some Bourne-esque car chases and shootouts, and you’re left with a brutal, utterly relentless straight-to-DVD sequel that’s better than it needs to be or has any right to be.

The reboot is much worse. At least I’m able to enjoy II, despite how dumb it is.
Hard disagree on all points.

Well I thought I knew where I was going with this when I started typing, at least.

Call Me By Your Name (2017)
I smuggled this into my house and watched it tonight. I don’t know how I feel about it. The cinematography is frequently gorgeous, the actors are great, and of course any kind of gay story is catharsis for me, but I’m still not quite sure how I feel about this. It seemed like a long daydream, for better or worse.
Never thought of it that way but I’ve found most of my relationships to have that sort of odd yet beautiful daydreaming quality to them. Definitely appreciated that aspect of the film, felt very emotionally authentic in many ways.

From every clip I’ve seen the remake of Ghostbusters just doesn’t look like it is my humor style. Extremely loud and a lot of rambling dialogue. I haven’t seen it, so I can’t judge it on quality, but I’ve seen several parts of it and it just isn’t funny at all to me.

I don’t think it’s enjoyable despite how dumb it is. So if you want to pick a nit with my all points statement, guilty as charged.

It’s so awful, and so long. Give it a miss.

Was I right about it being extremely loud and full of rambling and aimless dialogue that is supposed to be funny?

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning- Not just “better than it should be for direct-to-video” but genuinely damn good. Though it wears the skin of a DTV action picture and boasts some awesome fight scenes courtesy of fight coordinator Larnell Stovall, it’s more like a twisted art-house horror film. Full of Gaspar Noe-esque first-person sequences and flashing strobe lights and Lynchian plot that questions memory, identity, and politics. Yeah, I know, it sounds crazy. But believe me, it’s facinating stuff.

Well I can’t say you wouldn’t agree with him, because a lot of people do, but I still think it’s far better than II.
